Amsterdam Long waiting times at Schiphol!
Posted: Sat April 26, 2008 11:19 AM UTC
Please be aware of extremely long waiting times at Schiphol the coming days!

Make sure you are there 3-4 hours before departure, it's madness because everybody is going on holiday at this moment...

I missed my flight today because I could not check in on time because of the huge lines :-(

Do online check-in if available!

Cheers,
Dennis

How reassuring to learn that there are other "Terminal 5's"!!!! But I am surprised to learn that the usually ultra-efficient Schipol let you down.

It was far from efficient...More like a completely disorganized mess, the ground-stewards had no idea what they were doing and even admitted that...It also unpleasantly surprised us!

New chance tomorrow :-)

All of The Netherlands started the May holidays last Friday, which this year last an unusual long 2 1/2 weeks. Hence the enormous amount of holiday goers.
