Thank you, ozstamps, for the witty and utterly incorrect response. The 'ph' in Dutch is not pronounced like 'f' in English.

The link provided by monahos provides an exhaustive explanation. If you remember it as "ski pole," you'll be fairly close to the right pronunciation.

BTW, the name of the airport is spelled Schiphol (which is especially useful if you're looking for its web site.
