Airport Hotels Schiphol Amsterdam
Schiphol Airport Amsterdam
Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (IATA: AMS) (ICAO: EHAM) is one of
the busiest airports in the world, situated 15 km south-west
of the city. Jet2.com, Easyjet, and other low-cost carriers
serve Schiphol, providing a fairly economical way to city-hop
to Amsterdam from other spots in Europe. As Amsterdam is a very
popular destination, the cheapest tickets may be gone, and in
that case a traditional carrier might be cheaper. So it pays
to check a number of airlines before booking, to get the best
deal. The national carrier for the Netherlands is KLM, now merged
with Air France. With partner Delta Air Lines they offer worldwide
connections. The US, Asia and Europe are particularly well served
at Schiphol. British Airways offer up to 15 flights per day
to 3 London Airports; Heathrow, Gatwick and London City
For very frequent visitors to Amsterdam (6 or more times
a year) it may be useful to invest in a Privium card.
This is available to EU passport holders only, but allows
you to cut the queues at passport control. Instead of showing
your passport you go to a special lane with an iris scanner,
this will save a significant amount of time if the passport
lines are long. Cost is currently €115 + €65 for a partner.
When leaving Amsterdam, give yourself enough time to get
to your plane and through security (especially when flying
to the United States)! Schiphol is a large airport - be there
at least one hour in advance. If you have time to kill, drop
into the Rijksmuseum's Schiphol branch, between E and F Pier
(non-Schengen area airside), which is free and open 7AM-11PM
daily.
Coin-operated storage lockers are located along the main
hallway through the transit/departure area, across from the
start of the E wing. €5 per 24 hours, maximum one week.
