At first, I didn’t seem to like the idea of spending hours in an airport, ‘coz time flies so slow when you’re bored, right? 
But, I didn’t expect staying in Schiphol can be this enjoying–well at least, for a busy airport like this.
Inside the Terminal
*Inside the Terminal*
Schiphol looks like SM Megamall with a quick stare. Well, it kinda looks like an enlarged SM Megamall should I say. Going from terminal to terminal is easy, thanks to the moving walkways and lifts available.
The airport is so huge, that it never goes overcrowded IMO.
See, Buy, Fly
No one will have problems shopping inside Schiphol, ‘coz there are plenty of shops available. They’re just scattered everywhere in sight! From Hermes, YSL & Louis Vuitton to Kipling, Samsonite & Longchamp, you’d never run out of luxe items to see!
*From Cosmetics to Sweatshirts *
*Cutesy keyring I got (also a cellphone charm)*
Dining
Just like shops scattered around, food choices are also omnipresent in Schiphol. I got a yummy tall caramel macchiato in Starbucks for around € 4. Friend and colleague M got a quarter pounder meal in McDonald‘s for about € 7.50. Most of the food available are mainly European. Pastries are so French-y! Though, water and other beverages are definitely expensive at around € 3-5!
*Food Lounge & Vending Machines*
*Really huge looking Chupa-chups. M and I passed by it while heading to our terminal. Thus, we learned that it’s just a container, and there are like 15 lollipops inside it*
*Apple-Walnut Tart I bought from a French pastry store for € 4. The tart’s indeed huge that I had yet to consume it while traveling to Ghent!*
Internet
Stay connected by renting PCs using KPN internet connection. There’s also a paid wi-fi connection available. I forgot how much does it cost, but I think it’s between € 2-5 per hour. 
Really Interesting Artifacts
We passed by this interesting twin display in Schiphol, so we decided to take some photos of it.

Hi Kelly! I believe so. Schiphol looks pretty much like a huge mall inside so I believe you’d still get to pass by the stores whether arriving or departing.

Hi would like to check with you does the airport have Louis Vuitton boutique? As my colleague will be going there in 2 wks time

Hi Gelina,
As far as I can remember, yes. I saw LV, Chanel and Hermes among other luxe designer brands.

Hi Jessa! I don’t think Longchamp has a boutique of its own, but I believe I saw it along with other bags such as kipling in a certain department store inside the airport.

Hi Sands,
Prolly it’s more expensive should you buy in the airport. The cheapest Longchamps are found in Paris as far as I’m concerned, but I believe it’s still gonna be cheaper to buy in Schiphol (esp if they’re on sale) than here in Manila. I saw some coin purses before which were priced at 20 euros each, and that was a couple of years ago. I hope this helps!
