Upon signing up successfully, you’ll receive a confirmation e-mail. One week before the event, you will receive an e-mail along with e-ticket that you can print or display on your phone. Tickets are personal and not transferable.

Send an e-mail to burendagen@schiphol.nl so we can see what went wrong and, if applicable, send the e-tickets again.

As long as there are still time slots open, you can cancel the time slot you registered for and sign up for another one. Unfortunately, we cannot give any guarantees on this new time slot.

No. Your name is on the ticket. This is due to the security screening of all Schiphol Neighbour Day 2023 visitors. You may be asked for your ID upon entering. That’s why it is important that there are names on the tickets.

You can deregister by clicking on the deregister link. If you cancel your registration, your code will expire and we can offer your spot to another neighbour.

You can print your tickets and bring them along or show them on your mobile phone.

Yes, either your passport or your ID card. You need to show proof of identity at the entry check.

You may be searched and/or your bag may be checked. Security can be mobilised at any time in the event of suspicious persons or situations.

A bag is allowed, but we advise visitors to bring as little as possible. There is a continuous programme over a wide (partly outdoors) area and so there is very limited wardrobe space available. Because the programme largely takes place outside, we also advise you to take the weather conditions into account.

We will be providing coffee, tea, squash and a small snack. You may also bring your own food and drink.

You may take photos at the Schiphol Neighbour Days 2023. Before taking photos of Schiphol staff, please ask permission. You are not allowed to take photos of the security processes. In addition, do not take photos of Royal Netherlands Marechaussee or Customs officers. There will be a special social media campaign during the event. If you share your photos on social media with the hashtag #schipholburendag, you will be in with the chance to win a tour of airside.

Pets are not allowed at the Schiphol Neighbour Days.

Almost the entire event is accessible for people with reduced mobility. The OT building has an accessible toilet.

Most of the programme takes place outside, so we recommend taking the weather conditions into account. If there is extremely bad weather, we will cancel the Schiphol Neighbour Days 2023. Keep an eye on this website www.schiphol.nl/burendagen.

There will be a first aid post and an emergency response team in the event that first aid is required.
