ShAugust 7, 2018The gates to the terminals are alot! Near the gates there are nice rest areas The shops & stores are many its like a mall! I didn’t like that it was an airport + train station it makes it very crowded
When lucky, you can see the KLM "Orange Pride" from the panorama terrace!
Emily SkarbekNovember 8, 2014Victoria's Secret, Dutch duty free, and seamless access to the trains. No balloons allowed.
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.
In international terminal (E,F) find a nice sofa in the KMN internet center with wifi internet - upstairs just next to the food court
In Love with Amsterdam,in Love with Airport where you can find everything!
Dexter FreshmanFebruary 22, 2019Security is fast and efficient. Loads of places to eat and shop. It’s a pleasure to wait for your flight here.
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.
JenJanuary 22, 2017Great range of facilities for an airport, it is rather big though so allow plenty of time to get to your gate
Long layover? Go upstairs near the giant food court near Concourse D. There's a hotel there that rents out shower cubicles for €10. Refreshing! 🚿🚿
If you need to go to near Museumplein or Leidseplein area, don't take a train (which will take you to Central Station), but prefer the bus 197 instead which will take you directly to your destination.
zAugust 5, 2016Non-eu immigration line is the slowest in the planet!!!! It's also a very big airport with tons of shops and nice cafes
If you had a plane delay, they will scoot you right through passport control quickly. I love Dutch efficiency.
Love this airport the easiest to get around very friendly ppl & super helpful 👍🏼 Netherlands
Ismail ZohdyJanuary 7, 2015Biggest airport i ever been too.. Amazing place with loads of stores and great helpful stuff every where
organized, lots of places to eat, get a book, easy to find your way around...great airport
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!
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
Jonathan TurnbullDecember 10, 2016So much choice once you land (or you're departing) with shops available, also some good coffee shops.
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.
Aidu FApril 11, 2015Massive airport with good shops, restaurants and cafes to grab a bite&get some shopping done before your flight
Yulia ZiMay 31, 2016This airport is a major hub and is giant in size. Baggage drop off line can extend around the corner, but moves along. If you don't like to rush and stress, give yourself 3hrs for International travel
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!
Nice & comfy "sunbeds" are located at the far end of the D-wing, a great place to take a nap or watch landing planes.
Andrew LeckieApril 2, 2013Not a bad airport to be stuck in. Check out the Yotel for a place to sleep/shower/relax on longer stops. For shorter stays find the "Comfort Seating" area + bring your drinks from the bar.
Ben GillespieNovember 29, 2017We somehow missed our flight even though we arrived well before the departure time. They refused to let us board so I recommend getting there extremely early.
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.
Feeling stiff after a long flight? No worries, this airport will put you through about a month's worth of exercise going from gate to gate. And if you choose to go by moving walkway: mind your step.
Kudzai M. MubaiwaMay 15, 2014There is a dedicated power platform for 2 prong connections.If not working, try find sockets on the fire thingies the red ones.Wifi is free,after 1session expires rehook up on the non English platform
Anna ZhdanovaFebruary 1, 2015One of my favorite aports. Good connections, plenty if coffee shops and stores, free wi fi
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!
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.
La Place by the entrance is always a good post-flight place for a coffee and some fresh food.
Jeremy AbandoFebruary 5, 2015Due to the wide area of this airport! You'll need to work on your foot! So Be on your platform on time or at least 15mins before departure.
Greg DiamondDecember 22, 2015There are many device charging stations throughout the airport, but they're frequently out of order. Look for the stands with red fire hoses, there's always a working 220v plug on the back.
The Panorama balcony is only available BEFORE security - so don’t go looking for it during your layover.
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
Large, but efficient airport. Not too short distances. Well organised. Quick documents check. Friendly staff, so over average.
David NagyJune 9, 2016Near Starbucks at Gate G&H there 5 quite nice "working places". Good for when you're flight is late.
The train to Rotterdam only takes 25 minutes and rides 5/hour if you want to experience something different from Amsterdam
David GeeMay 1, 2019Been flying thru here for years. Overall boarding, regardless of airlines, always seems chacotic and unorganized. Otherwise a wonderful airport for long layovers.
Daniel O'ConnorAugust 31, 2019Terminal 2: a dreary experience, with a bar that closes at 6pm on a Saturday; passengers laying about in despair as their flights face delays.
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
Very nice airport easy to connect to the city and with lots of interesting shops
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!
Diana Yu.September 25, 2014Local people and airport services are extremely friendly. Free wifi access, a lot of spots with sockets to charge you laptop.
Souri SoJune 30, 2017The airport is quite new with all the modern facilities you expect in a airport! Love it
Akhnaton Ihara RezendeOctober 17, 2022Connections are harder, the airport is huge and we lost our connection! The staff were kind and helpful.
A great place for the whom loves endless waiting lines.
