Sylvia LorenteFebruary 19, 2016Super airport one of the best ones. I like the smoothies in front of rituals. Also nice to get a manicure there!
Big and clean. To get an Uber you need to get across the street and it might be a bit confusing but everyone will help you out.
Jack RabbitJune 1, 2017Friend got racially profiled. Also when you have a layover at AMS and end up on the M terminal, you have to exit the and re-enter through security to get to your connecting flight
Kris TinSeptember 19, 2018it‘s pretty easy to find your way around. only ~30 minutes by bus to amsterdam city centre.
Renato ShimoseApril 1, 2015Very organised airport. Quite easy to find your way and nice staff if information is needed. Very convenient place to get your tax blue money back.
Andrea Bravo BaladoSeptember 3, 2012Next time you arrive to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport and want to take a bus, first look at the screens with info right in front of exit doors. You'll save a lot of walking looking for your bus number!
Denise SMarch 9, 2019I like this airport very much. Prices are better than in others, there are many choices if you need to wait long time.
Take the train, located right under the airport. Buy your ticket in the big Schiphol plaza. Quite reliable, 10 minutes to amsterdam central, 17 to Leiden CS, 30 to Den Haag, take Fyra to Rotterdam.
For lunch buy a freshly baked roll in the bakery section and a warm meatball in the butcher's section in the the Food Village Supermarket behind Starbucks for one of the best meatball sandwiches.
Anna ZhdanovaOctober 29, 2017One of my favorite ones, ideal logistics, lots of shops and restaurants
- Huge airport, we’ll laid out for being an international hub. Some of the gates are far removed from restrooms & food courts so plan ahead.
This is a big airport so going to the baggage hall and arrival hall can take minutes. Also, picking up your baggage can take time because 3 flights share one conveyor belt.
One of the best airports in Europe if not the best. Pretty well connected with any city in the country
KathleenSeptember 14, 2013Go upstairs toward the lounges and follow signs to Mediation Area. There are lounge chairs you can sit in and put your feet up. Also, nicer toilets I'll here near BA lounge and showers.
Offers 1 hour free wifi + the famous "folan el folany u r delaying the flight, immediate boarding plz at gate X".. This is perhaps the second largest hub for transit flights i've seen after Heathrow- When you landed and feel too tired for public transport i recommend to go upstairs to departures 3 and take a cab from there. The fare price will be 10% off.
The train to Rotterdam only takes 25 minutes and rides 5/hour if you want to experience something different from Amsterdam
David WendlandJanuary 5, 2019Transfers - note that you likely have to go through security again for any connecting flights. But in the Early am they were quite fast and can keep shoes on
PrithviApril 1, 2013Beautiful airport. The best way in and out is the train. Cheap and fast. Catch a train to the Schipol station and then take a cab, if wanting other options.
Caddebostan English Academy www.caddeenglish.comOctober 18, 2016A great airport. They have showers at the airport and they are all clean. And if you want you can have a massage by paying.
The best airport in Europe. Casino's , Heineken bars , wine bars , good shopping and fast luggage handling.
Olivia IntanJuly 11, 2016Busiest, and the most strict and secure airport in Europe. They have a body scanner machine and do manual search on your body so DON'T you dare! 😈😈
Rey AniceteJuly 4, 2013Love the efficiency of Schiphol; if you're hungry though the "Noodles Bar" will see you through. Chinese guys speaks french, dutch and english!
Haymi BeharSeptember 30, 2012Great airport hub to USA & European destinations, nice Dutch delicatessen, &. Definitely go visit Amsterdam its very close and easy by train.
Main airport in the Netherlands. Huge amount of shops and bars present so you won't get bored easily. Never lose sight of your belongings since pickpockets are near.
M Fadzril FaezJuly 12, 2016One of my favourite airports & transits during travelling. The area is huge to explore around
Big! Some very good places to eat and lots of shops. Security is actually at the gate so bear in kind when heading to the gate that it takes more time
AleksandarApril 14, 2013If you are going to Amsterdam take a train, it costs 4.40 euro per direction. Don't forget the third station from the airport is Amsterdam central station.
Amr FouadOctober 7, 2014Transportation from Airport with BVG take bus 69 and drop of at Meer En Vaart (15 min from airport) and take tram 1 or 17 to the central station ( Amsterdam central ) 15-20 min
Anastasia PopovaJuly 12, 2014The best airport I have ever been to, easy to find everything, free Wi-Fi, chargers and lots of things to do: from shopping to library! Amazing!
Lisa DarmasaApril 6, 2013Check in ur baggage at the counter airlines check in , tell you hv to do tax refund. Bring ur luggage & get stamp around 200m fr gate 27.Back to Airline CI counter to leave ur baggage & Que to tax rf
Humble people..even sometimes security hold u in immigration office for a while to those who doenst have any invitation letter..just tell them that ur visit for vacation..hehheh..
At first it's not easy to get around, but with time you get used to it. Connection to Amsterdam is great!
In a rush to make a connection - security screening has gotten more intense here. Take every cable, anything remotely "electronic" and any and all containers or they will completely search your bags.
One of Europe’s best airports with routes to tonnes of destinations both near and far.
The coolest airport I have ever visited. Huge area full of everything you need for any taste.
- If you have time to waste here, check out the mini Rijksmuseum, and head upstairs in Lounge 1 for the "Airport Park" which includes an outdoor patio!
Gina M.L.April 19, 2013Check out the Meditation Center if you are stressed from a long flight: A quiet room for individual prayer, meditation and reflection - or simply to find some peace and quiet.- One of the best hubs in Europe. Watch out for your connections: if you have to cross the airport, it'll take over 30min!
Instead of doing a couple extra flights to get higher status, get a Privilum pass. It’ll get you lots of the perks of having status with an airline for the cost of a single flight.
The best SkyTeam airport so far. Far better than CDG, so better to have Schiphol for your intercontinental connections.
Glenys RyanFebruary 3, 2020It’s a huge airport best to get to your gate first, then go for drinks , eats and shopping. Just to get local to gelato perspective.
One of the biggest airport around Europe. You can spend a lot of hours wondering in shops etc.
Henri VogelsJuly 15, 2018It’s Netherlands biggest airport. It’s fast, big and modern. A fine airport with connection over the world.
frickaMarch 21, 2016beautiful airport, all the shops have a quiet nice design and there are lots of plants but only starbucks has soymilk :(
If landing here early and there’s a long line to get through passport control, go to the Starbucks or a food shop and the line will be gone by the time you’ve gotten your food.
A SDecember 16, 2016The best part about the airport is the connectivity by foot, you don't need to catch a tram or bus to reach the other end.
Travelllll.comJuly 6, 2012Phew! One of the most busy airports in the world. Try not to get lost in here! Got a long layover? Here's 7 tips to improve your travel blog while you're on the free wifi, enjoy! - Read more
