Schiphol's free 15-minute security slots help families and travellers make summer departures from Amsterdam Airport more predictable.
What you need to know
Summer departures from Schiphol can feel stressful when check-in, hand baggage and security all happen at once. A free security time slot gives you a fixed 15-minute window, which is useful if you are travelling with children, flying early, or simply want fewer surprises at the airport.
- Time and place: book from 3 days before your flight for Amsterdam Schiphol Airport; the slot is free, but you still need to check in with your airline first.
- Best for: families, expats who do not fly from Schiphol often, and anyone who wants a more predictable route from check-in to the gate.
- Before you go: keep the QR code ready, arrive within your slot, and still prepare liquids, electronics and hand baggage according to the normal security rules.
Hokimi field note: the slot does not replace airline check-in, so plan it after your bag-drop moment rather than immediately after arriving at the airport.
Dates, availability and external conditions can change. Confirm the latest information with the official source.
