Our analysis has shown us that queues are building at peak times when a huge number of passengers are arriving at the airport in a very short space of time.” How could they possibly have anticipated that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Landed there on Friday and left there on Monday. Wasn't too bad to be honest, though the previous security set up was definitely better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I've experienced Budapest, Luton and Inverness airports in the past week. Budapest and Inverness were perfectly fine. Luton airport can only be compared to the 7th circle of hell. What an awful place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyle Lanley Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Newcastle Airport is fucking worse than Edinburgh. Shite shops and shite food options. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xbl. Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 When Im flying to and from Scotland, I always fly from Edinburgh. I liked the previous security set up better, but I think its a good size. Big enough to have lots of flight options, but small enough so there arent mental queues and you dont have to walk for five years to get anywhere (Charles de Gaulle, Im fucking looking at you here). Over the years I've slipped into a nice routine of flying from Edinburgh with KLM, connecting at Schipol (a well designed airport), and then on to my final destination. Its handy for the tram as well. I'm not sure what people have against it tbh! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Went through last Monday morning (as I've done a few times) and it's probably the easiest I've got through security at that time. The hall did seem smaller though, which probably doesn't bode well. Maybe they managed to get whatever f**k ups were on sorted out. First time I've used the airport since the new security was put in, so I'm happy with it based on one experience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Went through in about ten minutes just now. My trays didn't disappear down the lucky dip lane of uncertainty, which helped, but it was probably one of the easiest security runs I've ever been on. I've been through Ronald Reagan and Washington Dulles, so most places are a breeze. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering you have Iraq and Libya on yoru recent passport stamps you must be 'randomly selected' for extra checking all the time.

Three months later I flew from Tripoli to New York and not even questioned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) As for Mozza "The screening of this individual." The San Francisco Airport security folk have a sense of humour, it would seem.

ecto Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 There is very little worse than having to take shuttle to a plane. Except, perhaps, taking one when you land. I had this coming back from Turkey last month, at 2 in the morning and it was pissing it down 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I went through last Saturday early morning and have never seen it so busy. Queues almost out the door for check in. Mentally rammed, then it took 45 minutes to go through security, which was a bit of a shambles, since the line wasn't even long. Didn't help that all our party was in kilts and hiking boots. It's usually ok, but that morning was stupidly slow, made checkin 10 minutes before closing and that was with us allowing an hour extra so no rush. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I'm doing a change at Schipol next week and never have before, it's not one I've heard complaints about before, thoughts from the experienced travellers here? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a big airport so give yourself time to get to the gate. Decent cafe/bar at the entrance with tables outside if the weather's ok. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRuffian Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) Plenty of shops, bars & restaurants to pass the time at Schiphol. Although, I was in the Dam last month and it was the longest wait I've ever had at any airport to get through passport control. Ridiculous queues. Don't know if it 's a regular thing or not.

Hawk89 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I'm doing a change at Schipol next week and never have before, it's not one I've heard complaints about before, thoughts from the experienced travellers here? Essentially there is a central hub in the middle that all the main pier come off of. Very easy to navigate between gates....just be prepared for a lengthy walk (there are travelators don't worry). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
