Shall we also get a section on the duty-free/landside shopping options?

I haven't been to AMS in a couple of years and I'm not a big fan of airport shopping anyway but surely there must be some highlights other travelers will find useful or interesting???

Did you mean duty-free and landside? Of course there is no duty free shopping landside. I gave the link that shows all the shops. Is there anything more you need to know? The grocery store is the highlight for me.

Nor am I.

I needed some lithium batteries the other week. Airside at Schiphol they were €12.95 each. At the store where I normally buy them in Holland they cost €7.

Of course I meant duty-free and/or landside, hence the slash between the two.

Sorry, in any case I just got an ad from FB Amex saying you get an extra FB mile for each Euro you spend at See Buy Fly through December 31st.

FB Service Centre at Schiphol?
 

Hi folks,

I read somewhere (?) on FT that there's a Flying Blue office/counter at Schiphol, but I can't find the thread where I saw it. :confused:

So, can anyone tell me if there is, indeed, such an entity and, if so, where it is? Also, I seem to remember from the original that there were very positive remarks made about it :): as I'm planning a rather 'tricky' combined revenue (for me) + award (for my pal) trip early next year, I thought that maybe going to someone from FB in person might be better than phoning (the website gives me no end of grief when trying for the award booking :().

Any help is much appreciated ...

Hi Henry,

Indeed there is. The Flying Blue desk is located inside the KLM Crown lounge. They can help you out.

Cheers,

Thanks very much; I'll give it a go.

To be precise: there are two FB desks: in Crown Lounges 25 (Schengen) and 52 (the new, non-Schengen Lounge).

Lounge 41 (the old, non-Schengen Lounge) does not have a FB desk.

Airport bookstores are horrible, but there's a halfway decent store called Libris in Schiphol Plaza, the landside shopping mall. Prices are comparable to downtown bookstores and they've got a much better collection than newspaper/book outlet AKO.

how to find lounge
 

hey every one i have just booked the Servisair lounge amsterdam Airport Lounge Terminal 3,but i think my flight departing from T2 can i go to T3 and entire the lounge as im flying klm to bkk if some one could let me no thanks some much:))

If you look at the map, there are only two Servisair lounges http://www.schiphol.nl/Travellers/At...AndLounges.htm and there effectively only two terminals at Schiphol, one Schengen and the other non-Schengen. BKK is non-Schengen so you should be ok as long as you booked lounge 41 rather than 26.

Is there long term left luggage at Schiphol? I need to leave a cold weather clothing bag there for two weeks while in Africa over the Christmas holiday...

Yes. Between Arrivals 1 and 2, level -1. Maximum storage is one month.

Thanks!
