AMS Terminal Connections | iFlyer Forum

I'm pretty sure you can go directly to the gate in Amsterdam, where there will be security checks.

Yes at AMS you are a 'Schengen' arrival - & can proceed right on to your Delta flight, where you will go through security check at the gate. NOTE: Arrivals 1 & 2 areas lead up to Departures 1 & 2; and Arrivals 3 & 4 lead up to Departure 3. Departures 1 uses the B, C & D gates; Departures 2 uses the E gates; Departure 3 uses F, G, H & M gates. (Arrivals 1 & 2 and Arrivals 3 & 4 are on opposite sides of the center.)

Delta & KLM belong both to the Skyteam Alliance - your bags will be transferred automatically to your Trondheim flight. Look at overhead screens to find your connecting flight & gate number. Gate-to-Gate transfers: B & C gates are at the very right end of the bow-shaped terminal; north of it are the C gates arranged in a Y-shape; around the bend are the E gates, followed in the center by the F gates; right thereafter is entry to the G, H & M gates (G gates are to the right, H & M gates to the left). Walking time from the entry of B or C gates all the way over to the entry of G, H or M gates would take about 15 mins. Walking to the end of B gates takes 15 mins; for the C gates 7 mins; for the D gates 8 mins; for the E gates 1 min; for the F gates in the Center 2 mins; for the G gates 5 mins; and for the H & M gates 7 mins.

All arriving passengers at Schiphol Airport need to follow signs for 'Baggage Hall' & 'Arrivals Hall'. Passengers with a 'non-Schengen' passport (issued by countries not belonging to the European 'Schengen' alliance) go through non-Schengen passport control; all passengers need to poceed to the baggage belts in the baggage hall (ground level), claim their bags & go through Customs for security check. If you have nothing to declare proceed to the arrivals hall through the green passageway. Your family will simply follow internationally recognizable signs. The Arrivals Hall has an Information counter - best place to meet up. P.S. Give each other the flight number and approximate arrivals time, so you all can monitor the overhead screens. (Schiphol has one large terminal, with Concourses B-C, D, E, F, G-H & M and corresponding gates.

AMS has one large terminal. As a 'non-Schengen' (foreign) arrival at AMS you need to go through non-Schengen passport control; all passengers need to poceed to the baggage belts in the baggage hall (ground level), claim their bags & go through Customs for security check. If you have nothing to declare proceed to the arrivals hall through the green passageway. In the Arrivals Hall are several catering establishments. (I presume that shops/restaurants accept US currency). The departures level has restaurants & shops in the secured areas and leads to Concourses B-C, D, E, F, G, & H/M (C & B gates are connected, H & M gates are on opposite side of the concourse.)

Departures 1 uses the B, C & D gates; Departures 2 uses the E gates; Departure 3 uses F, G, H & M gates. (Arrivals 1 & 2 and Arrivals 3 & 4 are on opposite sides of the center.) One hour is tight, but doable.

The U.K. is not a schengen country. You'll go through passport Control in AMS when transfering from the non-schengen to Schengen parts of the airport. You should have enough time. AMS handles tight connections all the time.

On arrival at AMS you need to go through non-Schengen passport control; poceed to the baggage belts in the baggage hall (ground level), claim bags & go through Customs & re-check-in bags where indicated.

I suggest you open www.ifly.com/ams then click on 'Terminal Map' under QUICK LINKS and scroll down to the detailed text.

Wheelchairs are usually ordered when making airline reservations; or should be made with the airline at least a day prior to departure. Another option is to alert your flight attendant of your need to have a wheelchair available.
