It's huge but well organized, clean with free lounges where you can lie down after an exhausting flight while waiting for a transfer. Thumbs up!
Aleksandra KrólakSeptember 10, 201330 min free wifi ! (open any website and automatic site will request payment - then just choose option gor free wifi). try also great 2€ automatic shiatsu massaging armchairs - really refreshing !
Perfectly run airport and amazing lounges and duty free shopping. If you are traveling this is a great airport for stopover.
There's a KLM plane at the panorama terrace! You can even go inside this Fokker 100. KLM, the best airline.
Marta Pinheiro RosaApril 2, 2014For me it's the best airport in europe,it has everything that u can possibly need.I would get lost in here.Mind ur step is really a popular word.
F~August 6, 2018Awesome interior, high speed wifi, one terminal for everywhere, nice cafès and restaurants
Great service, free wifi and tons of places were you can waste some time before taking a flight (library, hotel and even a museum).
Stavria K.February 6, 2017Amazing tulip corners! Bulbs and the flower itself! The deli is kind of expensive, but has unique traditional products.worth it!
Hint: if luggage was checked in till final destination in dept airport press "no" when it asks about luggage. If you press "yes" there's a glitch that stops the machine from printing the boarding pass
For those who suffered from cancelation of their flight by KLM due to bad weather conditions, don't wait in those endless lines. Call to your local KLM office if it is not Amsterdam! Good luck!
Don't get fool, getting to the gate usually takes some time even if you have already passed security. If you are going to the US there will be an extra security check so make sure to have time to spar
Best airport in Europe and one of the best in the world. Shame they are changing to a central security system instead of the individual gate security they have now.
AwatifNovember 12, 2020Very organise airport! good coffee, lovely shops, best prices and nice meditation center!
If you happen to seal your suitcase padlock key in your suitcase (like a fool *ahem*); there's a wonderful man at Seal n' Go with a huge set of boltcutters down near desks 15-17.
In Love with Amsterdam,in Love with Airport where you can find everything!
Annix L.January 25, 2018Water and soft drinks slightly cheaper at "Fine Food" shops (EUR 2-2,50). Also frozen herring and Tony's Chocolonely chocolates. Smoking areas inside bar/restaurants.
Agus PurwantaraNovember 24, 2016Very comfi, lots of nap chairs, duty free shops are great with very helpfull, polite shop attendants
Plus, there is a smoking room between gate H&G, opposite of gate E (next to immigration) gate D in cafe Murphey's and in the Schengen area also at gate D. And you don't have to buy anything!
Zoha ShafiqSeptember 29, 2019You don’t have to take off your shoes, take out liquids or your laptop here the TSA process is insanely efficient and I would go through it 800 more times if I could.
If you are hungry go to La Place, which offers the most value for money in my opinion. Airport is great, clear to get around and quite clean👌🏼
It’s one of the nicest airport in EU, plus Free and Fast WiFi 😬
Mariana MMMarch 31, 2017Amazing airport with all services: free wi-fi, reading and resting places, shower cabins, sleep cabins. All kind of shopping can be done here.
Ahmed El-GamalAugust 6, 2015I really like this airport... Although you walk quite a bit... Its well integrated with the amsterdam public transportation services.
Pepin MichacaDecember 12, 2014My best Airport in the world. Free wifi, KLM aircraft inside, trains and the best stores
Traversing security is a bliss: you don’t need to take out of you hand paffute any laptop, tablet, liquid thanks to the new security scanners.
Sal GApril 10, 2019Nice designs and there is a fast line between the gates, but shipping bags takes a long time to arrive mostly. At all it’s a very good airport.
As airports go, this is one of the more pleasant ones. If you’re actually reading these tips before choosing a connecting airport, let me just suggest: connect via AMS.
Bijan YoungFebruary 1, 2019Hub and spoke layout at its extreme. All sensible and readily retail. Ideal stop for chocolates and gifts for those back home.
Steev JonesJune 30, 2013A beautifully efficient airport. On the way out is a as easy as pie! Also close enough to the city for some sightseeing during a layover
C0_okieAugust 18, 2013The best airport I've ever been to. Free wi-fi, lots of sockets for charging stuff, iPads free to use etc.
Banu DnzrNovember 1, 2016The dutyfree shops are limited and the airport closes at 11 pm. If you have a transfer flight you will be directed to a very far corner. The staff is friendly and helpful
Katarina KosmačJune 15, 2018Love the airport. The toilets are very clean, the staff working there is very helpful
Make sure you can use the priority lane as it saves you a ton of time. #klm provides this option relatively fast with their frequent flyer program
Vova NovaqueSeptember 13, 2016One of my beloved airports in the world. Easy navigation, wi-fi, friendly crew.
Vivienne GucwaAugust 10, 2014Beautifully designed airport. Clean, good food options. It's an enormous airport though. Be careful with having enough time for connections. Customs is efficient.- This is how any airport should be. Modern, quick check in and luggage drop off. Also security to the gates went like a breeze! Love it!
Pat HuOctober 12, 2013Casino, museum, tulips and Dutch accents -- on my list of favorite airports. Leave your carry-on above the urinal and enjoy the view of the plants while you pee.
MARC LanzJuly 20, 2013SIM Card/ Roaming / Tethering! Don't take the offer from the first counter (30.25€) 1GB --> Same package in the mainhall direct from LEBARA for 20€! And you can pay in $\£\CHF and they change fair!
John (aka “PHATFoodFan”)June 1, 2016If you normally check into the Delta Sky Club using your Amex Platinum Card, this won't work here :( You need an actual membership card with the Sky Club to get in.
PreciousJanuary 16, 2019This is the cleanest airport I’ve been in hands down. Don’t forget the check out the food court if it’s not close when you arrive. The bathroom are soooo clean
Love this airport one of my favorites - amazingly well organized - security check at gates is brilliant and makes travel a joy - Charles de Gaulle and JFK could learn a lot from this airport.
The NS ticket machines here take Apple Pay, so it's one of the few places I've found to load € onto the OV chipkaart without a chip & pin credit card!
Swen GrahamJanuary 2, 2015KLM lounge is upstairs and the best place to kill time between flights but there is also a casino if that's your thing.
Pat TaskerDecember 16, 2022Super clean. Super nice. Fairly easy to navigate but HUGE. The D concourse has over 85 gates!
My Destination AmsterdamOctober 11, 2011Why not visit the Rijksmuseum in Schiphol Airport, it's free and located in the passport control area between piers E and F. It's really great and you can see works of art from the Dutch Golden Age.
