Check-in

We would advise you to check in well in advance of your scheduled flight departure time and to go through security on time. Please pay attention to these recommended check-in times:

• European destinations - 2 hours prior to boarding
• Destinations outside Europe - 3 hours prior to boarding

If you plan to travel via Amsterdam Airport Schiphol during the holiday season, we would advise you to arrive at the airport even earlier than the above recommended times. Waiting times are expected to be longer because it will be busier than usual.
