How long the Schiphol – Amsterdam transfer really takes
Schiphol sits about 15 kilometres southwest of central Amsterdam. Outside peak hours the drive takes 20 to 25 minutes: the A4 towards the A10 for the centre and Zuidas, the A9 for Amstelveen and the south, the A5 and A10 west for Sloterdijk and the harbour. During the morning and evening rush the same route can take 40 minutes or more, which is why our chauffeurs monitor live traffic and set out early rather than making up time later. For departures we plan three hours before an intercontinental flight and two before a European one — the small margin that turns a departure into a calm one.
