Arriving from Lisbon on very early flight to Amsterdam and a layover of 7 hrs before flight to Minnesota. I looked on website as I heard they have sleeping rooms to rent by the hour but unable to find any information. Is anyone aware of such space?
If we nave the energy we could take the train into town for a while as we have done in the past but want to know what options are out there. I have also seen areas with lounge chairs...anyone know where they are located? Thanks for any info.
We used the lounge chairs once. They are on a mezzanine area, can't remember how we found them but Airport Information should be helpful.
See the in-airport hotels described at http://www.schiphol.nl/Travellers/FoodRelax/AfterPassportControl/Relax.htm; they may not be cheap. The reclining "Snooze Chairs" are comfy and free; see the map at http://www.schiphol.nl/Travellers/AtSchiphol/Maps.htm, then Relax, then Snooze Chairs. I ran into these on a couple of occasions without having the map.
The lounge chairs are nice but be aware that there is a lot of construction going on in the terminal right now so they may or may not be accessible during your trip.
You can try contacting one of the airport hotels within walking distance (no shuttle needed) of the terminal and see if they offer some day use fare.
The place you are thinking of is the Yotel (www.yotel.com). There is a Yotel in Schipol airport.
Thanks everyone. The Yotel is closed due to construction and will just see if we can find lounge chairs. With a 3hr flight from Lisbon to Amsterdam I'm sure to get a catnap then try to get a few more zzzzz's in the airport when we arrive at 9 am. Flight to USA leaves at 3pm (thought it left at 5) so hours shouldn't be too bad. I can sleep when I get home.
