Booking your time slot:

1. Book online: After checking in online and weighing your luggage, visit Schiphol’s website to reserve your time slot for security.
2. Confirmation email: You'll receive an email with a QR code immediately after booking. Keep this email handy — it's your ticket to a smooth passage.
3. At the airport: Once you've taken care of your luggage, follow the signs to the 'Timeslot' queue in the security area.
4. QR code scanning: Show your QR code to a Schiphol employee, who will quickly scan it and direct you through.
5. Through security: You'll bypass the longer lines and head straight through to the security check, saving you time and stress. ?

Keep in mind:

• Security-specific: The time slot is strictly for the security check. It's essential to complete all other processes, such as online check-in and baggage handling, before heading to the security area.
• Be on time: The success of this system relies on punctuality. Arriving outside your reserved time slot might mean you lose your spot.
• Plan ahead: Time slots can be booked from three days before your departure, giving you enough flexibility for last-minute arrangements.
