No, just use the space in front of the check-in desks.Is there a place to go and rebuild your Bike when you arrive?
Either:what do you do with the Box if you are not coming back that way?

I am flying in from Blackpool then cycling to Rome.. so will need bikeAlan H said:Am I right in thinking you are arriving in Amsterdam with your bike in a box and then connecting to another flight (to Rome?).
If so, can't you through-ticket the bike so that it gets put on your connecting flight with the rest of your luggage? If this is not possible can't you just push your bike from arrivals to departures while it is still in the box?
Or am I thinking too much?
willem said:If you are flying from the UK to Amsterdam, why not take one of the ferries instead? Hook of Holland Harwich is very cheap if you buy the tickets well in advance, and it is very convenient with a bike.

Alan H said:Schiphol is a really friendly airport: one terminal, departures upstairs, arrivals downstairs, railway station in the basement. Couldn't be simpler.
When we landed there with our bikes in boxes we waited till they came up on the luggage carrousel and then asked where we could rebuild them. "Anywhere you want," came the reply so we moved to one side and put them back together again. "Where can we leave the boxes?" we asked. "Anywhere you want." So we leaned them against a wall and wheeled the bikes through customs and out into the rain.
It's not Schiphol, it's not the fab supermarket, you just love Dutch cakes.Cathryn said:I LOVE Schiphol...there's a fab supermarket place in it which does wonderful cakes!
