I know this was posted 4 years ago, but I am really happy I found this. I normally fly direct from the USA (DTW) To London (LHR), but this year I am going to Norwich, and I wanted to fly into there instead of having a long drive. Most of the videos I have seen leave me with lots of questions, but this one I think is spot on and what I needed. SO for my trip looks like I will Arrive at AMS, no need to get my checked bags I am flying one ticket via Delta/KML so bags should be checked all the way to NWI. All I have to do is go through passport Control and on to my next gate. Sounds easy...LOL...know I just have to find out if my carryon weight is unlimited like it is with Delta or I have to make sure I am at KLMs 18kg max combined for carryon and personal bag.....I have a lot of equipment so hoping I do not have try and hit the 18kg mark....last year my carryon and my camera bag was a total of 43 pounds so over the 18kg.....might have to downsize some things. which is fine I tend to over pack anyway..lol

This is one of the things I really love about Amsterdam Schiphol is the signs and information that you require for a transfer are all very well positioned and nice big yellow signs at eye level. Gives you a very clear indication of where the piers & gates are. On top of that as you clearly point out is a huge list of imminent departures on computer screens that are constantly being updated and there's at least one of those in every pier.

Great video but the "music" track is maddening in the way it keeps going from soft to loud.

[@Joshua-zg9jg]

Their passports service is so terrible. I was waiting more than one hour to check out. May God give them wisdom to solve this Problem.

[@lisascharfegger9223]

hey I am transferring from in Amsterdam and I have 1:10h of time (flying to a Schengen Country) will this be enough?(flying with the same airline) Thanks for the help in Advance

[@neilburns8869]

If you're initial flight is roughly on time you should have enough time. However if you are say 30-40 minutes late it may put you in an awkward position. The one thing I would maybe do if you were running behind schedule is just talk to someone in authority like maybe the head of your cabin crew on your incoming flight to AMS or visit a help desk as soon as you arrive in AMS. Ideally for the future I would give yourself a minimum of 2 hours between flights (just gives you that bit of leeway for unforeseen delays or minor holdups), and if things are all running to time then that's great you can always sit and have a coffee and a cookie in a cafe.

If I am flying from USA through Schiphol then onto Spain, will I need to go through passport control at Schiphol?

[@flysolo553]

Yes, since that is your point of entry into the Schengen area.

[@tatykkusnati8485]

Thank you very very petrified

[@zachreilly9366]

How hard was it coming from the US to catch your connecting flight- did you bring carry on luggage or Checked bags..I am concerned with catching my flight- Thanks

[@flysolo553]

It's an average sized airport. Connection time has a number of factors - one vs separate tickets, domestic (Schengen) or international. Depending on that times will differ.

@@flysolo553 if its a connecting flight from the US- to another European country and you have checked luggage how does that work?? are you familiar. Thanks!!

[@flysolo553]

@@zachreilly9366 If flights are on one ticket - your checked bags will go to the final destination. You will get iff your flight from US, walk through passport control (fairly quick) and to your next flight departure gate.

[@daybydayjourney552]

So if I like to visit the city with my long layover hours, I dont need to go straight to transit passport check?

[@flysolo553]

Depends on whether you are coming from a Schengen (no) or non-Schengen (yes) destination.
