Schiphol to Centraal Station...

I had someone ask me a few days ago about transfer from Schiphol to CS by train. I have done this so many times I could probably do it in my sleep but my friend was wondering what the average time was between landing and arriving at CS. To be honest I could not give him a decent answer because I never pay too much attention to at that point. Accounting for a minimal delay at passport control and baggage claim would a guess of 75-90 minutes seem about right?

I would say that sounds about right. Personally as I come from Uk with only hand baggage, go through automatic machine passport control, prepaid travel card, I work on 60 minutes from getting off plane to getting into RLD. Its taken a bit of practise to get to that but thats my average. On short trip all travelling time is not fun time !!

It has never taken me more than 60 minutes. Always around 45-60 minutes.
Always had very small queues at passport control and baggage usually out fairly quickly as well, though I mostly have hand luggage only.
You can buy a train ticket in advance downloaded to mobile or get one from the numerous self-service machines where there is minimal waiting times.
Overall it is one of the smoothest airport -city experiences around!

A lot can depend on the arrival gate at Schiphol. Some involve a very long walk. I'm usually travelling with hand luggage only and usually manage to be CS within an hour.

My personal best is 45 minutes and I had a checked bag. High in 60, laid in 75. What a great day that was lol.
