Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS)

Schipol is the Netherlands' main international airport. It is found 20 minutes from Amsterdam, by car or taxi. Schipol is the third largest airport in Europe for passengers, and carries an extensive amount of cargo every year. I've visited this airport many times on business, and never fail to be impressed by the size of it. There seems to be an endless list of countries to which flights can be caught, so i won't even try to list them here. On entering, you find youself in a large hall with literally hundreds of check in desks. Aside from this there are a huge numbers of shops and restaurants from which most things can be bought. I'm not fluent in Dutch so ...  Read the complete review

Schiphol is the main airport of The Netherlands, and one of the largest hubs in Europe. I have traveled to and from Schiphol many times. I generally find it to be an extremely well run airport. Everything seems to run on time and like clockwork. (Like most of The Netherlands.) I normally travel through Schiphol when I go home to visit my family in the south of the country. Therefore I normally have to use the train. At Schiphol, this is certainly not a problem. After you have left the aircraft, it is easy, but sometimes far to reach the baggage reclaim. My luggage normally arrives very quickly. You then must clear immigration, and this ...  Read the complete review

Amsterdam Schipol airport is absolutely massive - easily the biggest airport I've been to in recent years and it takes a fair while to get from the check-in desks to your departure gate. The inside of the airport is clean, modern and impressive with plenty of security guards patrolling the area on Segways. I wanted to have a go on one, but they didn't seem the types of guys who'd hand over their favourite toy... plus they had guns, so I decided it was probably best if I didn't ask! Our flight was due to leave at 8.30pm and upon checking-in we were told to look at the TV screens as we weren't given a boarding time. We made our way past ...  Read the complete review

Having not flown for several years, upon arrival at Schipol airport I was a little overwhelmed at the size of the place! It is huge! However, I need not have worried. The airport is extremely well sign posted and easy to navigate, and almost every staff member speaks English as well as Dutch, and usually several other languages too. The tourist information desk is a great facility, the staff being multi-lingual, knowledgeable and very helpful. Transport links from the airport into Amsterdam, and around the Netherlands are many, from trains to buses and taxis, and all are easy to use. The trains are reliable and probably the best transport method as the airport ...  Read the complete review

The first time I went to schiphol airport I couldn't believe how huge it was! The whole building is just vast and it took me a long while to actually find the gate I was supposed to go to. Everything however was clearly signposted, it was just the distance that I had to keep in mind, which is maybe something worth considering if you plan to fly to or from there. There were a large amount of shops that could keep you entertained and even massaging facilities! It really is a fantastic airport, I would be tempted to go there just to go shopping and enjoy all the amenities! Transport links to and from Schiphol are also very easy to work out, these things seem to work ...  Read the complete review
