  • Need help with transfer
    Apr 6, 2013

    We arrive from Minneapolis via KLM/Delta flight, have a 2h40m layover and then transfer to another KLM/Delta flight to Venice, Italy. I get that we have to go thru pasport control for a non. schenegean country...but then what? Do we have to pick up our bags, take them thru customs and recheck before going on to connecting flight. I do not find the Schiphol site to be of any help with these details. Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

     

    Indeed AMS site is not clear on that. However - judging from some other large EU airports - after passport check you proceed to baggage claim where you retrieve your bags and go with them through customs clearance - if continuing journey, you need to re-check them in at designated area.

    We are flying KLM Venice to Toronto with a transfer in Amsterdam. Do you know if we will have to clear security again in Amsterdam and if we would be allowed to carry duty free items that we purchase in Venice through Security in Amsterdam.

    we are travelling from manchester airport on mon 4 feb at 6am and arriving at ams at 8.25 am we have 1 hr to get our connecting fklights to cape town what gates do we look for and do we have enough time.thx

     

    At AMS Arrivals 1 & 2 areas lead up to Departures 1 & 2; and Arrivals 3 & 4 lead up to Departure 3. Departures 1 uses the B & 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 should suffice. For more information about AMS I suggest you open www.ifly.com/ams then click on 'Terminal Map' under QUICK LINKS and scroll down to the detailed text.

    Hi due to an airline altering the flight times I only have 40 minutes between flights , one is flybe from BHX , Uk arriving 9.20 am next Corendon to BJL, Gambia leaving at 10.00am, I have booked assistance as I have a disability, but I dont know if this is feasible thee Corendon flight should have been departing at 13.00 hours! Many Thanks

     

    As you have booked assistance, you will be picked up at your arriving gate and transferred to your Corenden flight. 40 mins should suffice.

     

    oh thank you so much I have been stressing over it , even thinking about getting a flight the day before, thanks very much
