Distances and journey times are indicative, excluding traffic conditions and depending on the pick-up address.
One terminal, but a very large one
Unlike Roissy, Schiphol runs on a single terminal divided into several departure halls. Drop-off is at the entrance matching your hall, which cuts the walking inside the airport — no small thing at Schiphol, where internal distances are considerable.
Long connections and early departures
Intercontinental flights from Schiphol often leave in the morning, with check-in opening well in advance. From Brussels that frequently means setting off before dawn.
This is where the train loses its edge: the first services are not early enough, and you still have to reach the departure station from home. A direct transfer starts at your address, at the hour you need.
The return after a long-haul flight
After ten hours in the air and passport control, an international train followed by a local journey is not the best part of the trip. With your flight number, you are met at the arrivals exit and driven straight to your address in Belgium.
Business travel Brussels – Amsterdam
Schiphol is also a destination in its own right, next to the Zuidas business district. A direct transfer lets you work en route and chain meetings without depending on a train timetable.
