About
Arriving at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport
Schiphol operates as a single terminal under one roof, with departures above arrivals. This makes it one of the most efficient major European hubs.
All airlines operate from the same terminal complex, with gates organized by pier (B through H). Non-Schengen flights use specific piers but all lead to the same arrivals hall.
From landing to exit is typically 15-25 minutes for EU arrivals, slightly longer for non-Schengen flights requiring passport control.
The train station is directly under the terminal, with service to Amsterdam Centraal (15 minutes) and other Dutch cities. For pickups, short stay parking is adjacent to the terminal.
London to Amsterdam is 1 hour, making it popular for business day trips and connections.
Pickup tip
Train station is under the terminal. Meeting point is at Arrivals 2 or 4.
