EES Transfer in Amsterdam

We arrived in Amsterdam 3 weeks ago with a transfer to Zurich. I posted about the broken kiosks, huge mass of humanity being condensed to one line then waiting in line to get to a passport agent. Also, there was construction and it was so hot, no AC.
3 hour layover was barely enough time.

I can’t give a time reference on how quickly the lines were moving this morning at 8:00am because we arrived last night for a stopover and didn’t experience the transfer situation but we saw the line this morning. The line appeared to move quickly. The kiosks were working. Construction was over. AC was working. What a difference!

Good to hear.
I have a flight to Copenhagen and connecting in Amsterdam on Dec. 1st, 2 hour connection. I hope that’s enough time.
This summer, Aug. 1st, our flight landed in Amsterdam and it took almost 3 hours to get through passport control and EES (I guess). We were then taking a flight on a different airline on a separate ticket to Inverness. We had allowed 3-3/4 hours and had 30 minutes to spare. It was just as you described, one or two agents to process a massive crowd! No AC to boot!

I hope they will have the kinks worked out for our December trip.
