Reduce waiting times at security checkpoints and avoid bottlenecks especially during rush hours.
With this twofold goal, the airport of Amsterdam Schiphol has decided to launch for departing passengers the booking of time slots To gain priority access to security checks.
A move that aims to contain the inconvenience and chaos that featured the Dutch airport (and it was not the only one) during the last summer season.
A dedicated lane for those who book
The service launched April 6 from Schiphol is free of charge and for now is only available to travelers moving within the Schengen area, but according to sources inside the large Dutch hub very soon "the same procedures will be activated for new destinations outside Europe."
Time slots can be booked from 3 days before the takeoff of one's flight and reservations can be made either on the airport's website or through Schiphol's dedicated app.
Once the request has been made, the traveler receives an email confirming the successful time slot reservation required, directions to access the dedicated lane, and a Qr Code To be presented to airport officials.
Schiphol management, however, urges the traveler. adherence to schedules arguing that any advance or delay from the submitted slot does not give any right to access the dedicated lane.
Real-time information
It is necessary, in fact, for the traveler to "book the service without forgetting the technical time needed to Check in and drop off any luggage to the dedicated desks of each airline," emphasizes ala note from KLM's main hub company.
Finally, for the past few months, Schiphol has already introduced an online service that allows passengers to check the status of crowding at the airport in real time, especially at security and customs checkpoints.
In addition, the service suggests how far in advance the passenger should go to the airport to avoid unpleasantness.
The Dutch airport of Amsterdam had to reintroduce a cap on flights for the next few months - cutting the 5% of the total routes - and currently the deadline for this standard would be until the end of May, but it is not certain that this choice could continue throughout the summer.
