Ami H.April 14, 2017Around the Piers E and F area, behind Café Coco, under the shade of the stairs are some blessed lounge chairs for a bit of free kip. Earplugs and eye mask donned and you're good to go.

Schiphol is only 15km from Amsterdam. Take any train to Amsterdam CS and you'll be in te city center in about 10 minutes. Bus 397 will take you straight to Leidseplein, but it'll take longer.

Mary PoppinsApril 23, 2018One of the best airports ever. It has friendly atmosphere with many stores an cafe if u need to fly over a connected flight to the USA or Canada the best airport is Amsterdam ❤️😍😎Upvoted 3 days ago
MuratApril 14, 2018Half an hour drive away from city center. Public transportation is available. Very organized and structured, passenger friendly. Still lines could be long in the security. Busy at the weekends.Upvoted 22 hours ago
Ideal transfer airport. One of the most convenient big hubs in Europe! The shops are really good and the food is great for passengers (domestic and international flights).
Get around Schipol Plaza to shop and eat, you can find variety of food and also collectibles things, buy chocolate from Leonidas, there is store selling airplane miniatures as well.
When ur truly hungover - get a chicken broth at the Mediterranean panini place - its not a gourmet thing but it will give u everything u need (well a lot) and save u!!
Dave McNovember 4, 2017This is a really great airport to kill time in, it’s really more like a mall with some hidden away airline gates than a typical airport.

One of the best airports in Europe, easy to navigate, fast lines and great choice of coffees/food zones. Free wi-Fi and polite customs ❤️
A HazetSeptember 24, 2016Traditionally is European airhub, home base of KLM & skyteam.Compact, integrated & efficient airport. Transit in this airport will be fun, easy reach the City by train or just enjoy the airport itself
- One of the best airports in the world! It's spacious, modern and offers high quality service allround. No annoying lines but friendly and well trained staff. Absolutly love this place! ✈️
Maha Al-SayeghAugust 12, 2017I find the luggage lockers in the airport very useful you can store your bags up to 7 days and enjoy the rest of the day/night in Amsterdam if you like :)
Trish GotladeraMay 10, 2022Airport has very poor signs of gates. Very large queues from bag drop, check in and immigration. Understaffed as well. With all the massive queues, only one staff to sort. Mismanaged airport indeed.
Nice airport with alot of shopping areas. Clean and staff are very helpful. I prefer to walk around the shops rather than setting in the lounges
On the exit to "I am Amsterdam" logo you should visit "Happy Seafood" cafe and buy sandwich with haring and cucumbers. It tastes really great!
One of the best. Has everything you needs: supermarkets, restaurants, Starbucks, fast foods, train station, all sorts of stores...
Reyhan SafarnegaarAugust 26, 2017Nice information desks, great variety of food and a a lot if cheese shops! Try the creamy cheese they offer. Also take the extra fresh bags for keeping them cold and fresh.
Noel ClarkeNovember 22, 2014Nice Airport with everything you need. You'll be happy to hang out if early for flight. Very clean and doesn't seem too busy.
Kathleen VargasApril 28, 2016Awesome thing about this airport is the free wifi they offer!! There's so much walking you have to do in this airport that I literally feel like I burn 500 cal.
Anna BlankoDecember 6, 2020Take the time before departure to discover this remarkable airport !))) 👍😉
Really big, modern and clean airport. Allow yourself some extra time to wonder around, have a delicious meal or waffles before the flight to enjoy it properly. Before departures are even supermarkets.
Schiphol is classy, chic and has plenty of fun, unique spaces to spend time while you await your flight. Go smell tulips, shop around and visit a branch of the Rijksmuseum for some great Dutch art.
As mostly everywhere in The Netherlands the people are friendly and attentive here. You have a big shopping area before and after security. Download the app and you are updated about everything.
Love this airport! Can go to HEMA or Albert Hein and buy anything you forgot to buy for the same price you would anywhere. Easy to find around. One downside there is a long wait at the luggage belt
Panagiotis DesyprisJune 25, 2022Try to avoid flying from Schiphol during Summer 22. Very few people working for security and ground personnel. If you can’t avoid flying from Amsterdam arrive at the airport 3-4 hrs before your flight
Very organized airport, clean & so many nearby facilities like restaurants & bathrooms. Take care of your belongings, passports & pockets. Have safe trip & enjoy your destination. نتمنى لكم سفر ممتع
Used to be a good and reliable airport. Now it is chaos, stress and long waiting times. Too many shops and too much distance to cross.
Pretty nice airport that gets the basics right: good signage, free Wifi, spacious enough. Quite a walk though depending on the gate you need to go to. Use the Privium P2 bridge if you have status!
Still the best airport I've been to. Wifi everywhere, plenty of shops and restaurants. Even a museum and casino! also plenty of places to take nap and eat if you have an overnight transfer.- Very quick Tax-Free Servies! Get your Stamped Invoices out of the Envelopes! Show your items, don’t check-in your bags! There are 3 companies here (Global & other) to claim your VAT. You can get cash.
Catherine Smal'February 9, 2020Very interesting airport with museums, playground for children, relaxing library 📚 with a piano 🎹, where you can share your talent
E.Nur ŞenMay 1, 2022It s very crowded and not operated well. We arrived to the airport at 11:50. We barely caugth our flight at 14:40. Most of the people missed their flights.
💰Nigel O'Sullivan💰May 3, 2013Airside there's a smoking section at the Irish bar and on the other side near holland casino
Massive airport but really well organised. KLM Lounges are great too. Careful with short connections if moving between Shengen and not as queues can be long at busy times.
Radek ZajícSeptember 9, 2022One of the worst airport experiences ever. 70 minutes waiting time in a queue before the security check. 20:15 and most of the shops with food are closed.
Safe on plastic & €; Refill your (Dopper) bottle with Dutch Quality tapwater! Located at the Meeting point next to Burger King.
Veronika MikusiakovaJuly 8, 2019Very nice, clean and organized airport with a lot of shops. It is well connected with a city centre. There is bus station outside (bus 397 goes to the city centre) and train station as well.
Hashim A.May 7, 2019One of the most crowded airports in the world yet it’s very vast and well organized.
Ian WagnerJune 3, 2017Nice big airport. Cool green space where you can walk outside. Make sure you have plenty of time though because it can be quite the talk to get around.
Beautiful airport with lightning fast check-in and security. Coffee shops everywhere and a couple of smoking zones too. Like there is one near Gate B17. Brilliant coffee and hotdogs too.
Alessandro CandeoSeptember 26, 2016The KLM intl' hub is a great option for your long haul flight. Big but not huge, very well connected with local transports, good choice of shops and restaurants, free WiFi and great land service!
David WendlandJanuary 5, 2019Great variety of waiting areas & food. Best options of general seating areas - many w/different types of chairs, kid friendly areas & plenty of power access. Plus good food variety!
Yiannis PapasavvasDecember 5, 2014Now this is an airport.Easy access with train from/to city.Easy to find your way,top food courts, organized with lots of relaxing areas. Notice how many lost stoned people are calling on the speakers
8PM ReservationNovember 19, 2016Very big airport. Give yourself plenty of time to reach the gate. The champagne bar/cafe is lovely and Murphys bar has the best 90's hip hop.
Schipol: Organized, clean, authentic and beautiful... Immigration desks can be a pain point with short connections as they do get really really busy.
Excellent airport with free wi-fi. A lot of stores and restaurants, but not all, are closed airside during COVID-19 crisis; so no poffertjes, but you can have cheese.
Ciaran QuinnMarch 10, 2013Short passport line from Terminal C to D. If your EU passport has a chip like on mine (photo...symbol like overhead view of a guy w hat with arms stretched out) use the automatic gates. Quick. Easy!
Salwan FinjAugust 30, 2017One of my fave airports to travel to and from in the world. Great f&b options, organized check ins and security check process done with a smile and a friendly face...❤️
An airport to avoid these days. You need to follow a cue for some 3 hours before you make it to customs, due to lack of staff. Brilliant management…
Bill PNovember 21, 2016This is a gigantic airport! Everything was flawless, fantastic interior, cleanliness, duty free area ( don't forget to get some fantastic milk chocolate bars ) and very very polite personnel.
