Since Southwest does not operate directly from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS), travelers on Southwest carriers connect via partner carriers. Departure Hall 3, which serves non-Schengen foreign Southwest Airlines AMS Terminal flights, is normally where check-in is located. With features like Aspire Lounge 41, a variety of eating options, and a large shopping selection, Schiphol provides a comfortable experience. With frequent bus links and a direct train service from the airport, getting to Amsterdam is easy. In order to facilitate seamless check-in, security, and boarding at this crowded international hub, travelers are advised to arrive approximately three hours before to departure.
