    You don't go through security/X-rays until you reach the gate so no need to chug all your water before going through passport control

    There is a 7/24 open and free smoking room, ask for it. The cheese prices are cheapier then Amsterdam shops. 1 hour free wi-fi. No liquid allowed on the customs even if you buy from duty-free.

    Take a look at the Panoramadeck. On a good day you can SER planes take off or landing.

    Great airport, a little confusing to get around inside without acquiring multiple passport stamps, but who's counting! ?

    I’m sure this airport used to be better. Feels like an average experience these days. Central security search often backed up - so leave plenty of time to get through! Aircraft take forever to taxi.

    If your layover is longer than 5 hours make time to go downtown. Return ticket is cheaper. 15-20 minutes each way. Well worth the effort.

    Be aware: the time your flight boards is really the time that security starts allowing people into the glass room that you can't go anywhere from. Go to your gate 45 mins. before takeoff.

    Sound proof rooms can get too quiet to get used to, but it's the best way to relax!

    The tax return validation office closed at 19:30. Sometimes they will need to see the goods before they will give you the stamp

    Worse experience i had in an airport .. very long queues.. on-boarding process is too complicated so you really need to come three hours prior your departure .. and Good Luck because you need it 🙂

    Careful, every gate departure area has its own security process. Get ready to sit for a long time with no access to bathrooms or water once you go in.
