Earliest Bag Drop at AMS

We are traveling from AMS to HKG next week with a 1600 departure time from AMS to LHR. As we are heading to AMS the night before we would like to take the kids to downtown Amsterdam for a few hours in the morning, ideally without a mountain of luggage....

Does anyone know how early you can check in bags for BA flights at AMS? We are traveling in J

Well, I expect the desks are open most of the time, but I also frankly expect the Aviapartner staff operating for BA to be unhelpful.

Is leaving bags at your hotel an option? If you're staying at one of the airport hotels, I'm sure the Sheraton or Hilton would hold bags, and I know the CitizenM will.

Lockers could work, saves going back to the hotel to collect bags.

Just found a video showing their location, thanks for the info

In the past - failing the granting of a late checkout - I have checked out of the Hilton (leaving my luggage with the bellman) - got the train into town, done a river sightseeing trip and a wander around - before returning for an afternoon departure. The fact that all the connections between the hotel, train station and checkin are walking makes the planning from a time point of view quite robust. Both the Sheraton and Hilton are connected to the airport by a walkway.

Barney2201,

Checked today, you can drop/check in your luggage already in the morning before heading downtown.

If it’s of any indication, I checked my luggage in at 07:00hrs for an 11:45hrs flight with no problem the other day.
