Make sure you get to the airport in plenty of time. Allow two hours prior to departure for check-in if you are flying to a European destination, and three hours if you are flying to a destination outside Europe. Vision Square Schiphol, a huge 40m2 screen, broadcasts programmes 14 hours a day, which makes waiting more enjoyable at Jan Dellaertplein, the departure area for taxis and buses.
