Amsterdam Schiphol Airport has expanded the service that allows travellers to pre-book time slots for their departure security checks.
The initiative was initially launched earlier this year exclusively for departures to Schengen destinations but now has been extended to include non-Schengen flights.
Passengers can reserve security check slots on the Schiphol website or app up to three days before their departure at no additional cost.
Bookings will be confirmed by a QR code received via email, which is scanned by staff at the airport, so travellers can be directed to the correct security check entry point.
Each slot is 15 minutes long, and early arrivals are advised to wait by the Plaza at the airport for their slot. However, passengers who arrive later may have to use the regular route for security checks.
Travellers can also book one time slot for a group, such as a family booking, allowing them to go through the security check together.
Passengers can reserve the security check from three days to 90 minutes before departure for non-Schengen destinations and, for Schengen destinations, 60 minutes before departure.
