Arriving Into Schiphol On A Schengen Flight I’ve always had plenty of time, but I’ve seen others with less time get into a different line. If you come from a non-Schengen country and connect to a Schengen zone flight, you do need to clear passport control into the Schengen zone. The kiosks also print new boarding passes for those who might have missed their flight, since KLM automatically re-books those passengers. All you do is scan your passport, boarding pass, or frequent flyer card. KLM has about 100 kiosks across the airport where passengers can check their updated flight information. While Schengen isn’t as efficient as record holders like Zürich Kloten, Vienna, Austria or Munich, Germany (where it’s possible to clear immigration without even waiting in a line), the lines here move efficiently, much more so than in Paris or London’s major airports. As I noted already, there are signs everywhere directing passengers. Both times, I landed at an international gate and had to clear Schengen zone customs.

My wife and I booked tickets to Vienna with Delta Air Lines and KLM. Ivo Antonie de Rooij / Question - Is Amsterdam Airport Schiphol Easy to Navigate With A Short Layover?
