In addition to packing your bags with the help of this checklist, there’s more you can do to prepare for your holiday. Wear tight-fitted clothing and low shoes when you come to Schiphol. That way, you won’t need to take anything off at the security check. And book a free time slot for security in advance so that you can go through the check at a time of your choice without having to queue. Enjoy your holiday!
