I will be arrving in Amsterdam on QR early afternoon on 24th March. The original plan was to stop overnight in Amsterdam to break up the long journey from PER before catching a flight mid morning the next day to LCY. Having seen some of the reports about just how bad AMS can be as regards immigration I am considering catching a flight back to LCY 3 hours after my QR flight lands on 24th (on separate tickets), whilst keeping my BA res for the 25th in case the QR flight is really late.
I believe that QR would through book bags even on separate tickets.
Anyone have an opinion as to what they would do in my situation. Still overnight in AMS as per the original plan to break up the journey and avoiding a 3 hour transfer, or transfer the same day and avoid a potential 2-3 hour wait to enter the country. And if it's transfer the same day are there any issues / pitfalls I should be aware of.
TIA
