Amsterdam Schiphol Airport

Not Verified | Quick trip through on my way to Japan in January. There can be long walking distances here depending on the connections but I was lucky this time and my gates were quite well aligned. Liked the range of seats and I found a quiet place to catch up on work for a couple of hours between flights. WiFi functioned well and found the airport website good for quick flight information. Whilst I didn't use there are clearly lots of shopping and dining choices. Good experience this time.

✅ Trip Verified | This has got to be one of the easiest airports to change planes. All gates in one large spoked wheel with connecting hubs. I can turn a blind eye to the interminal shops and cafes. A nice seat to wait the gate is all I need. Signage is excellent and maintenance levels high with travelators all working (unlike Manchester where 50% seem always out of service. It makes flying easier to use this place for connections that are so efficient.

✅ Trip Verified | Check in went smoothly. After central security you will find shops and cafe/restaurants but it is very difficult to find a seat to eat. Toilet are all filthy and dirty and not checked and cleaned properly or not cleaned at all for some hours. Also seat availability at gates is poor. Automatic walking paths are to may times out of order. Schiphol Airport wants to grow, but they should start first to improve the quality of their passenger services and clean much more better than now.

✅ Trip Verified | Disappointed. Missed our flight due to long waiting lines for a bus at parking P3 (25 minutes) and next a waiting line at the check in at KLM (50 minutes). Next the luggage was not accepted because we were late, phone calls at the gate were mot answered. Next we had to pay and wait 11 hours, because the next flights were blocked for commercial purposes. The best to say is you can spend a lot during the extensive waiting time.

✅ Trip Verified | With transit times of 1 h 15 min. we had to run for our connection. At least 2 kilometres, and half of the moving floors didn't work, though there are not many of them. Fortunately, we have some exercise and were fit enough. If you have to change plane in Amsterdam from Europe to a non-European country, use the toilet in the plane, make sure that you have running oder hiking shoes in your hand luggage, and start rightaway! If you don't feel fit for sportive exercise, don't hesitate to ask for a buggy transport. We cannot say much about cleanliness or shops or (beware) restaurants; there is never time for it! But as I am forced to do so, I give an average rating, though it may not be deserved.

✅ Trip Verified | I arrived at this airport from Copenhagen. This a crowded airport with a limited numbers of toilets. Good seating arrangements. Arrival lounge was good in terms of connection to the other cities of the Netherlands, a very good rail connection at the ground level. Taxis are also available. There are many shops that sell food and other products, expensive though.

✅ Trip Verified | This airport is always crowded as it is a hub for European countries. I was departing for Turkey and had to walk a long way inside the departure terminal. Good thing was that, I did not have to wait too long for boarding. The worst thing was that, there was a tax return counter which was very inefficient. I failed to get my tax money back that I paid while shopping in the Netherlands. The staff related to the tax return were unhelpful.

✅ Trip Verified | A crowded airport with all facilities. Clean but a limited numbers of toilets. Good seating arrangements. Mobile charging facilities are not really available. No free wifi. It is hub for central and northern European countries.

Not Verified | Clean and very well designed. Easy to move through. Organized departure and arrival procedures. Friendly and helpful staff. Sites well-marked. Comfortable facilities. Environmentally friendly airport

✅ Trip Verified | Flying from Moscow to Prague via Amsterdam on Jan 20th, layover time 1h 23m. The arriving plane was only a few minutes delayed, however there has been a very long queue at passport control (see photo). If some passengers would not be kind enough to let me skip the queue, I would never make it. I was among the last passengers to board my connecting flight. I am using Schiphol frequently and noticed, that quite often those e-passport gates are off, partly or entirely. And was explained, that this is due to the lack of staff, which sounds bizarre. I wish Schiphol management would start managing the process and making sure that their customers might make their connecting flights without a drama. And if they invest into technology, they should use it. It is also odd if transfer from one terminal to another terminal requires more time than the flight from Amsterdam to Prague. Overall transfer experience is terrible.
