    "If walls could talk," they'd probably be a helluva lot more helpful than most of the #Schipol and #KLM staff!!! #JustSayin

    Large, clean, fast and with great connections worldwide. Worth investing in Privium access if commonly used.

    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

    Get 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.

    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.

    We 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.

    Great wifi connections and you dont need to go to the airport lounge to be comfortable. Just grab an easy chair and a blabket

    The 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

    Overall 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.

    Watch 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!

    Terminal D has a nap area complete with bean bags and reclining chairs. Perfect when you have a layover. Or hangover. Or both.

    Smartly laid out and easy to navigate airport. If in doubt, walk to the middle of the airport and coordinate from there.

    On your way home don't forget to buy some stroop waffles, particularly if you have kids! Chocolate being the favourite!

    For you foodies, visit Amsterdam's Noordermarket farmers Market for a fantastic selection of local cheeses or try the famous Gouda or Edam.

    There'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.

    Nice & comfy "sunbeds" are located at the far end of the D-wing, a great place to take a nap or watch landing planes.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Big but easy to navigate. From here you can go anywhere. Hilton and Sheraton both walking distance.

    Terminal 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.

    be 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.

    It 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
