Problem in transit at Schiphol
I will be travelling from HKG to Schiphol on KL888
then I will tranfer to KL1799 bound for Munich
There will only be 1 hour and 45 mins between these two flights.....is it enough?
Are the gates in Schiphol far away and would immigration check spend much time?
and in case if my first flight is delayed.....would I be arranged another flight to Munich by KLM free-of-charge? if so, how about my buggage? will it arrive MUC before I do?
Sorry for asking so much.....really appreciate if anyone could offer help...thanks.

1 hour 45 minutes is more than enough time to get your flight.
And if your flight is delayed, they will most likely book you automatically on the next available flight. Happened to me in January, when my flight from KUL was late. But since I could still make it, I made it on my flight but had to leave my luggage for the next flight. It was delivered home later :-)
So I guess you should be fine.

Welcome to FlyerTalk!
That should be plenty
You should arrive at the E or F pier/concourse, and depart from B, C or D. Total walking time 10-20 minutes, not including security/immigration.
That varies greatly. Use the short connection lane if time is tight.
Yes, you would.
What happens to luggage at Schiphol is anybody's guess!

1h 45m
That much time is plenty to get from one end of the airport to the other.
However, if you are delayed an hour or more, you might need to take the next available flight.

Due to security, it is most unlikely that your luggage will ever arrive before you. They will actually pull it from the flight if you are not on it. But if you do make it, your luggage will be on the next possible flight.
