Connection times at Schipol

roundymac

We're arriving into Schipol at 8.30 on a KLM L/H. Our Cork connecting flight departs at 09.40. Have we enough time and will it be much of a rush?
Thanks in advance.

If its all booked on the same ticket and your bags checked through then you should be OK.
Schipol is easy enough to navigate, its one big building, no need for buses or trains to other terminals.
So if your KLM arrives on time you should be OK to get your Cork flight, but you will not have any time to dilly dally.
Start heading for the Cork gate as soon as you get off the KLM.
Note that they do security at the gate in Schipol so be ready for that.

Now if its different tickets and you have to collect bags etc then forget about it.

If you know what gate your getting in on, and what gate you're leaving, you can plan in advance.
I have had to run through this airport a few times, it can be tight, especially if you have to go through security again.
I have also had my bags not make the connecting flight twice!
If you're going home not too much of a problem but going elsewhere!!
Try buying clothes in Thailand for normal Irish size people!

The Cork flight is usually D27 gate, so a lot depends on where you arrive in. Security at the gate has been removed in Schiphol, so that shouldn't delay you.

The inward flight looks like it might be coming in at an F gate, from the maps it dos'nt look that far from the D gates or am I reading all wrong?
