When civil aircraft started to use the field (17 December 1920), it was often called Schiphol-les-bains. Schiphol opened on 16 September 1916 as a military airbase, with a few barracks and a field serving as platform and runways. Lounge 4 consists of concourse M, a dedicated Schengen area for low-cost carriers.Concourse H is used by low-cost carriers. Lounge 3 consists of concourses F, G and H.Lounge 2 consists of concourses E and gates D3 through D57,.Gates D59 through D87, the Schengen flights departing from gates D are reached by escalator from Lounge 1. Lounge 1 consists of concourses B and C, dedicated to Schengen areas.KLM and Transavia use all gates except for Concourses H and M. If catching a connecting flight from one of the M gates, you must exit the secure zone though baggage claim and enter lounge 4 like any departing passenger.įew airlines and destinations have a dedicated concourse. Once past security, passengers in Concourse M cannot access any other lounges or concourses. The exception to this is Lounge 4: it is only connected to Concourse M for low-cost carriers. However, keep in mind that if you're going from lounge 1 to lounge 2 and 3 you must clear immigration as you are leaving the Schengen area. It is possible to walk from one concourse to another, even to those connected to different lounges. Piers (also known as concourses) connect to these lounges. The terminal is divided into three lounges designated 1, 2 and 3. From this floor you can go to security and passport control if catching a non-Schengen flight and enter the transit area. On the 1st floor you can find the check-in desks and Departure Halls 1, 2 and 3. The ground floor before security has the entrance of the airport, the railway station (with the platforms underground), the four Arrivals halls, and Schiphol Plaza, the central shopping zone. The airport is divided in many different zones. However, this can mean long walks from one connection flight to the other. Which means, that all the departure halls are in one building. KLM (and other airlines serving AMS) do their very best to expand on this excellent position. Only Frankfurt Airport and Istanbul Airport receive direct flights from more countries than Schiphol. It goes back in part to KLM's century-long history and the even longer Dutch tradition of global trade and exploration. 52☁8′55″N 4☄5′10″EMap of Schiphol AirportĪmsterdam Schiphol is one of the best-connected airports in the world.
