Rina Anthony RasolofoniainaApril 25, 2012To connect on the KLM-Lounge wifi, you just have to put the password KLM with the date of the day so if today is the 25 April 2012 the password will be KLM25042012
The Food is Fantatic , I feel like I'm in a shopping mall. Super organized. Check your gate and see how long it takes to get there or you will miss your flight.
ArtJonakApril 10, 2012Great shopping. Healthy food choices. Super friendly staff. Clean... have loved traveling through Schiphol for nearly two decades now. :)
Antonio SponzaNovember 20, 2012Insane security procedures. Get ready to pull-out of your bags/pockets every laptop, tablet, phone, player, headphone, camera, and their power supplies and cords. :-( #epicfail
One of the best airports I've ever visited. Do not miss the message chairs- Luciana C.March 11, 2012The most beautiful, comfortable and agreable airport. Green rest areas, gread food courts and well organized and with signs everywhere.
Very nice airport. Well designed, very spacious and easily acessible by train and car.
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.
The "rainforest area" close to the D-gates (right ahead once you get up the stairs) is a great spot to relax.Plenty of power outlets as well
My home airport! Very efficient! Nice and goes always smooth! Fly in and out of here 20+ xs a year!
babysmurfSeptember 4, 2011Get a day pass for unlimited use of public transport at the Holland Tourism Information booth. But to reach Centraal Station, you must purchase separate train ticket at the ticket machine.
MohammedSeptember 5, 2017One of the best airports I have seen! It's big, clean, and full of services and shops. ❤️
chica latteMarch 20, 2017don't get high and go there:)) with a flying head the place seems like a cosmodrome:))
Brenda RaleySeptember 2, 2023Overall a beautiful airport but expect long lines at the tax refunds desks, airline checkin, security and passport control. Took us the better part of 3 hours. Lots of walking.
Nice, spacious and clean airport. Great hub to all possible destinations. Amsterdam by train 10 minutes away.
Everything is under one roof. Easy to transfer. Be prepared for lines at security/passport control.
FaisalSeptember 19, 2016The Airport Park has a terrace, where you can enjoy fresh air and watch airplanes. Smoking is forbidden.
TingMay 4, 2014One of the nicer airports in Europe. Easy access and connection to the city and beyond.
Emily SkarbekNovember 8, 2014Victoria's Secret, Dutch duty free, and seamless access to the trains. No balloons allowed.
Alison CharlesSeptember 12, 2014Great wifi connections and you dont need to go to the airport lounge to be comfortable. Just grab an easy chair and a blabket
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
Local people and airport services are extremely friendly. Free wifi access, a lot of spots with sockets to charge you laptop.
AMS Schiphol is one of the nicest airports of the world. Plenty of stuff to do after you checked in!
Putra PuteraMay 21, 2015Toilet is automatic and you should wake up to flush and no pipe water inside the room so for people not usual with this please buy/bring your own bottle water. The toilet clean & have perfume flush
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
João PiresJune 15, 2013The airport Wifi is free and you have to re-login every half hour. That is a nice thing, from this airport! Other airports should learn this good service/support
Fatih KuranJuly 3, 2016A unique airport which respects the smokers' rights as well. So many smoking rooms ! 👍
Probably the best major airport in Europe. Modern and easy to navigate.
There is Albert Hein where you can bring some food & make it hot using provided ovens. Cool!
Selin BaygunesliJanuary 24, 2013Amsterdam is awesome! There are a lot of place to hang around and waste a time before a flight:) everyone here clear to take off!! Here we gooooo :D :D
Michael ArkinsAugust 7, 2014Smartly laid out and easy to navigate airport. If in doubt, walk to the middle of the airport and coordinate from there.
Best airport, you can get everywhere in no time. Train stops right under the airport.
Eric NakagawaNovember 15, 2015Watch out for taxi scammers (unlicensed). They will try to pull you from the official line. The official line is labeled and easy to see. Be careful!
Duygu YavuzJuly 14, 2022Terminal 3 departures: is very busy but the line moves fast. If you don’t drop off baggages, 4 hours is sufficient to pass the security and passport.
Waiting times in every line is freaking long! Just to keep the numbers of personnel at minimum to save some from the budget doesn't give you the right to steal from passengers' time!
JohnJuly 22, 2013On your way home don't forget to buy some stroop waffles, particularly if you have kids! Chocolate being the favourite!
Careful if you decide to try and buy something from one of the shops having just stepped off the plane. They're for "out going" passengers only. Very strange. Good airport overall though.
Alex NawarNovember 23, 2014There's a water fountain underneath the stairway that goes to McDonalds on the main floor. Also, there are outlets in the "internet center" behind Starbucks.
bmibabyMarch 28, 2012For you foodies, visit Amsterdam's Noordermarket farmers Market for a fantastic selection of local cheeses or try the famous Gouda or Edam.- Monica CNovember 14, 2016Very modern and clean airport. Lots of shops and restaurants. Dutch design everywhere.
Frédéric NiessenAugust 7, 2017It is a pity that on the highway instructions are not written at least in English- feels confusing to drive to there if you don't speak Dutch - make an effort please people might come from all Benelux
Bandar.MJanuary 1, 2017be carful of the taxi driver waiting outside they charge extra. Be sure to get a ride from the stand taxi booth only. I was charged 100 euros to go to central Amsterdam but with the official 48 only.
Ashley SimonSeptember 7, 2012Terminal D has a nap area complete with bean bags and reclining chairs. Perfect when you have a layover. Or hangover. Or both.
C McPMarch 6, 2015Big but easy to navigate. From here you can go anywhere. Hilton and Sheraton both walking distance.
Nice & comfy "sunbeds" are located at the far end of the D-wing, a great place to take a nap or watch landing planes.
Luke SchuelerJuly 24, 2017By far the best airport for international flights! They have great duty free shops!
the Capi electronics store near Arrivals 1 takes visa photos if you don't have extras.
