Baggage and security's check is right at the end at the gate. So ensure you save enough time and not get stuck in the shoppibg areas.
Luke SchuelerJuly 24, 2017By far the best airport for international flights! They have great duty free shops!
This is my favorite airport so far. Lors of interesting shops, and everything is well-organized.
My favorite airport, very well organized and always brand new looking
Jason LimNovember 9, 2015If you have any access baggage and don't want to pay access. Go to the bag depo and call the delivery company and they will contact u later. Depo is in between arrival gate 1 and 2.
Skip the McDonalds - and grab a coffee and an omelette at the Amsterdam Cafe upstairs.- xxx bebebeAugust 23, 2014Best in class in operational excellence and a marvel of empathy for the traveller. Well done for holland!
To kill time: go outlet shopping near departures/arrivals 1-2 sign, outside of customs. Good deals on designer bags especially if you look carefully.
One of THE MOST cleanest restrooms you’ll ever seen in an airport. My god it looked better than a 4 star modern hotel.
Chris PFebruary 24, 2013Buy your tech in Amsterdam or UK prices are lowest than in airport. They are cashing in on last minute buyers...
If traveling internationally, leave some time for security at the gate. The KLM lounge has good food/drinks but take some time to wonder around this unique airport.
Bryan PowerSeptember 18, 2017VAR Customs stamp (Global Blue, etc) is all the way at the end of Terminal 3. Need to do this before going through security. Leave at least one hour to get through line
One of the best airports in Europe, definitely a great location for a stop over!
The whisky special offer of the month is usually excellent. Also available for intra-EU passengers.
Best airport in Europe !!! Do not buy presents in city. You could buy everything here.
CarmenSeptember 10, 2015Give more than one hour if you're connecting to US bound flights. They close doors 20 min before advertised take off and you need an extra security check close to the center of the airport.
Loads of food and drink options once you get behind security. Try to check out the Rijksmuseum exhibit while you wait to fly!
MauriceApril 1, 2017Modern airport with a smooth way to go through customs. There is a big train station under the entrance hall.
Very clean and spacious airport. Budget airlines have their own terminal with less food and shops.
Visit the rijksmuseum outpost and enjoy the kitschy Holland Branding at holland boulevard (terminal E). And don't buy cheese, you stupid!
LeoSeptember 8, 2014You can get trains to the center directly from the lobby. Nice airport with some great food shops!
Philip ParkNovember 11, 2014Because they have the checkpoint at the gate you have to wait for everyone to go through before they start boarding.... I'm still trying to make sense of it
Todd KunaMay 18, 2018Nice airport, but come extra early due to the total inefficiency of everyone from the airline desk to security
jason pJuly 16, 2018Everything in one terminal is good, but everything in one terminal is also a long walk
MertApril 22, 2013x-ray cabines from the year 2079 but still squuezin your body with their "secure" hands (from year 2000 B.C.) . You lose 2 hours of your precious lifetime in this lazy airport. two thumbs down.
Best airport so far, but very busy. Good shopping, good food, excellent lounge (KLM).
Great shops inside especially Dutch souvenirs like live Tulip Bulbs!
Fakrul JamilFebruary 10, 2017Shower facilites available at Yotel in Lounge 2 opposite of M&Ms. 15euro for up to 1 hour with two towels and shower gel.
Nora I نوراOctober 4, 2021I’ve been at the airport for more than 4 hours between the check in to the gate. The service was so slow and bad. Many people missed Thier flight and rescheduled for later!! It was a nightmare.
Ah not a bad airport to stop over in... Plenty of shops but chewing gum has been banned and no stores sell it
ℋumorousOctober 17, 2010If you have a long layover, take the train into the city and spend a few hours there. Don't be scared it is safe! Take a boat tour, or just have lunch.
Do you know you can have 1 hour of free WiFi? Just connect to the Schiphol_Airport_WiFi, go online and accept license. Have fun!
Even things that are "not possible" are possible if you can make the hospitable Dutch crack a smile.
Olena PerevertayloFebruary 5, 2015I loved the self-service mini-market. You take the food, you pay, all by yourself.
Feeling sleepy? Head to Holland Boulevard and upstairs you will find a lounge full of comfy seats! Plus you can't beat the view!
Pawel Poland, CRACOWOctober 12, 2014It's my second favourite airport after Singapore ;-) You can relax here and even hear how birds sing. ;-))
Hannah McBattyDecember 23, 2011Have the burger and truffle Mayo at Brasserie if youve got a long time to wait. Absolutely delicious, great service and fab place to people watch!
Geoffrey BrownOctober 16, 2011If you are coming from the states, and taking a train, be sure to ask a person at the ticket booth for help purchasing tickets. The machines really don't like US credit cards.
Easily one of the finest airport in whole Europe.. Just love it
Beware of pickpockets. Don't forget to tap your OV-chipkaart before boarding and/or get off the train.
Ioannis PapapetrouNovember 12, 2014One of the most beautiful european airports...and i have seen a lot...believe me!
Doug RuskNovember 17, 2021You can pour your own liquor drinks in the Delta lounge at that airport :)
