This was our first time in Amsterdam and it was fairly easy to go thru customs and claim your bags…read more This airport is the 3rd busiest in Europe and it is connected to the main train station. As of April 2026 they use the new EES system making international travel easier and faster. There are plenty of shops and restaurants in the airport which is a plus especially if you arrive early or have a long layover.

I've flown in and out of Schiphol twice - once in July 2025 and again in May / June 2026. I have…read moreflown in via Las Vegas, USA and Helsinki, Finland and out both times back home to Las Vegas. The airport is gigantic. Flying in from a European country and getting your luggage and then out felt like it took nearly as long as flying in from the US and having to go through customs. The walk to the baggage claim from the FinnAir terminal was incredibly long and the baggage took what felt like forever. There are tons of restaurants and shops here. Unfortunately if you need to eat gluten-free, this airport really doesn't have options. They do sell the cheese that is for sale at all the gift shops around Netherlands here after security and at a cheaper price than many tourist shops and even the cheese factory itself in Volendam. Security and immigration are definitely a hassle here with their questions. Be prepared for Dutch bluntness. You have to be blunt right back with them. I had a new in box water filter in my carry-on because I went to a remote cabin in Finland for a week. Security tried to give me a hard time about why I had a water filter as if that's somehow contraband. Just be very direct to the point it comes across as rude (for Americans) when responding. I had a mini mental hair clip the size of my thumb print go off and I had to get a pat down and they almost made me take it out of my hair to get scanned. Some issue with the new European passport and fingerprint scan thing (EES) flagged me so I had to talk to immigration. Naturally the line for everyone who got flagged happened to be the immigration officer trainee line so it took 3-4x as long as the other immigration officer lines because staff was walking the trainees through what to ask and type. I was seriously worried I'd miss my flight. My husband didn't get flagged and had time to order food and eat it at a restaurant downstairs in the terminal, that's how long a passport check after security took. Flying in isn't bad but omg flying out is a hassle and you'll need to give yourself extra time with the new EES system implementation. Latest visit: June 2026

Mijn ervaring was helaas negatief. Er stond een hele lange rij bij de beveiliging en het…read morebeveiligingspersoneel was overweldigd en gestrest. Een verbetering op dit gebied is noodzakelijk Mijn vlucht had 40 minuten vertraging. Onze piloot vertelde ons dat dit te wijten was aan een gebrek aan beschikbaar grondpersoneel op de luchthaven. Het restaurant was uitstekend met een goede selectie aan eten en drinken en zeer vriendelijk personeel My experience was unfortunately negative. There was a very long queue at security and the security staff were overwhelmed and stressed. An improvement in this area is necessary My flight was delayed by 40 minutes. Our pilot told us that this was due to lack of available ground staff at the airport. The restaurant was excellent with a good selection of food and drinks and very friendly staff.

Little local airport. Short security queues, a duty free shop, and a couple of food outlets…read more The most remarkable about this airport it's outdoor terrace, where you can watch planes departing. There was only one person in the duty free shop, which means you might have to wait for ages. Also, there are no self-service check in machines for flybe, so you have to queue with people who are checking in luggage. It is fairly easy to get to Rotterdam, there is a bus, 3 EUR one way - you can either buy your ticket in a ticket machine or from the driver if you have EUR.
