Amsterdam Airport Schiphol - 8 Hours Layover (How to?) 

That is great to hear and thank you for your feedback.

It is a beautiful airport. Wasn't sure if you meant to write "ever" or "never"

@@KhizEesa ever, been several times. Going through there again soon

@chriskelly509 safe travels

We miss it too

If you mean yellow signage, yes we agree! Love it

hah, love it me and my family always have a laugh when we go and hear that again

Thank you for your comment. And that is a great tip to leave your luggage for €5 so you can explore without any luggage. Please subscribe if you haven’t :)

@@KhizEesa Thankyou! done

Thank you 🙏

Thank you for your insight!!! The Tupolev Tu-104 is a unique looking aircraft but then again all Russian planes are. Really appreciate your feedback :)

It is a great airport for long layovers. There is a lot to discover and even when it’s crowded, you can find some empty nook or corner to relax and pass time

Thank you for your comment @harleyd9857 We always want to stay at Yotel but they are quite pricey. How was the Yotel room?

@@KhizEesa it was nice for eight hours. There are a lot of RU-vid videos about them.

We have done it both ways. Staying at the airport and heading into town for a few hours. If you enjoy airports, Schiphol is a great option! This includes both the area before and after security. Wishing you safe travels in April

Hi @darinah6162, The best place to find updates about Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is their app with latest information (www.schiphol.nl/en/download-the-schiphol-app). There are multiple play areas for kids including a playground next to McDonalds that has an airplane model with slide. We also saw the assistance cars running and believe they are free. Have a safe and fun journey with the kids.

Hi, that is a very long layover and you most definitely can plan a nice trip into city. As for Lounge access, we would call the Airline to find which lounge you can access and then check if the lounge is open during your stay. If not, you can check out our video on staying overnight at Citizen M Schiphol ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LS5D4DBg170.html. Hope this was helpful.

Hi, yes there are lounges. You can check out our review of the Aspire lounge here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QlJw2257TtI.html

We have US passports so no, we didn’t need any transit visa to leave the airport for the night. It depends on your nationality so you may want to check the official site for accurate information

We used our priority pass to access the lounge. You may want to download the Schiphol app which will tell you the latest info on lounge timings. With priority pass, we have 3 free entry and we paid $27 for the 4th person. Without priority pass, prices vary by lounge

Good question. We used credit cards everywhere so didn’t need to convert. There are currency exchange there. From our experience Euro is the only currency accepted

The lounge is free with Priority Pass membership. We get ours with our credit card. So technically the lounge is not free not unless you have a Priority Pass card

@@KhizEesa ok thank you 😊

There are a lot of relaxing areas but based on our experience there are even more people at times so the almost relaxing chairs like the one in our thumbnail are high commodity and goes quick. The trick is to locate some and hang out close by as people do love around and there is always an opening. 14 hours is alot of time so you may want to Google some of the cool things you can do close or even do a trip into Amsterdam and see the canals.

@@KhizEesa THANKS ALOT!! :)

Anytime and happy travels

​@@KhizEesa please im having 18hrs 55 minutes transist in Amsterdam can I book a hotel or is not allowed to go out

​@@bigazizwife3544There is a yotel located airside that you can book without 'entering' the country, but as long as you clear immigration you can leave the airport and check out Amsterdam and other nearby hotels

Hi @elmj9733, I am sure you will have a great time at Amsterdam Airport. Depending on your departure gate for Israel, you may not need to leave the International gates at all. For us, we didn’t encounter any long lines or trouble on our way back from Spain thru Amsterdam to New York. As for spending time at the airport, there are tons to do if one is in the mood to explore including a viewing deck, a museum, Ron’s of shopping and eating or just lounging around. It does get crowded but there are always empty areas of you walk around the gates. I would highly recommend to download Schiphol Airport App which was the best thing we did for navigation and latest airport information

@@KhizEesa thank you again...

Great question!!! Eesa loves to get into a topic and just practice day and night. So in short a lot of practice and passion to get good at one topic at a time. These days he is learning magic tricks using cards :)

There are no COVID restrictions for entering Amsterdam and Schiphol Airport but check the App to make sure as things are changing again esp. in New York. I am not sure about your final destination, Israel, but you can check with your airline. We were traveling to Spain and although there are requirements for Spain, we were not checked for vaccination or testing at all

@@KhizEesa thank you

Hi @OverflowCafe, not sure. We did try the bathroom right in the center of the terminal (gate side) and the ones in the Aspire Lounge and honestly the bathroom next to the shops was better than one in the Aspire lounge. The only bathroom experience that was lacking was before you check in (outside security).

When we visited we didn’t see any halal food options. You may want to download the app and check out the latest

Hi, thank you for your comment/question. You can always walk in to certain lounges and pay on the spot but you may want to check their timing. The lounges open 7 or 8 and closes at 10pm. Based on our stay, it is totally possible to stay there without a lounge since they have many spots for you to lay down, look at planes, visit a museum, shop and eat. For us, I think 7 hours (although long) can be fun at Schiphol. You can also go out and head into downtown which we have done before as well. The trains are conveniently located in the terminal (just have to go through immigration). We enjoy airports and Schiphol is a great layover airport. Come back and let us know your experience.

@@KhizEesa THANK YOU, Hope it goes well 😂😅 Will let you know next month!! 👏

@@KhizEesa Hi I just came back from Georgia 🇬🇪, I wanted to get rid of the fear of traveling abroad :) It was a really nice experience, very nice people 😍 Now after I got rid of the fear, I’m ready to travel abroad with no stress 😃 Going to Scotland next month, if you may have any tips or suggestions please let me know 😁
