To the point: KL1905 to BEG at 9:30 in the morning. What time should I get to the airport? I’ll be staying not far from Sloterdijk’s train station so just a short train/bus ride to Schiphol, slightly concerned however about potential queues at passports.

Thanks.

As we're out of the school holiday season again, it shouldn't take long.

I had an 09:00 departure on Tuesday of last week, and the queuing time for the automated passport lanes at around 07:00 was of the order of 2 minutes (there shouldn't have been any queue necessary, but some people take forever to get their passport in properly!).

As I wasn't flying KL on that occasion, I couldn't use the priority security line but security was dead and there was no line at all to get to the security check for regular non-status Economy pax.

Good to see you again round these parts!
