Amsterdam Schiphol is one of Europe's largest hubs, a major connecting airport for long-haul and European travel, and it has Priority Pass lounges in both its Schengen and non-Schengen areas. Knowing which one matches your flight, and that they can get crowded, helps you plan. ## The lounges at Schiphol Schiphol's two Priority Pass lounges are both Aspire lounges. The Aspire Lounge 26 serves Schengen departures, in Departure Hall 1, and is open daily from early morning to evening, roughly 6am to 9pm. The Aspire Lounge 41 serves non-Schengen departures, in Departure Hall 2, open roughly 6am to 10pm. So the right lounge depends on whether your flight is within the Schengen area or beyond it, which also determines which departures hall you pass through. ## Access methods and day passes Access is by Priority Pass or a paid day pass. If you are a Priority Pass holder, you will be asked to present your card along with any confirmation on arrival, and Priority Pass guests can access the lounge up to three hours before departure. A paid day pass to the Schengen Aspire 26 has recently been around fifty-four US dollars for adults and for children aged 2 to 17, while the non-Schengen Aspire 41 has recently charged around forty to forty-five euros. Confirm the current price and which lounge matches your flight before you go. ## Amenities and tips The Aspire lounges offer seating, food, drinks, and Wi-Fi, a welcome break in a very large and busy airport. One important note for Schiphol: these lounges are popular and can get very crowded, and Priority Pass guests may be turned away when a lounge is full, so arrive with a plan B such as the airside dining. Because the three-hour rule applies, time your visit to your departure. Use the comparison below to match a membership or a day pass to your Schengen or non-Schengen flight.
