I was just at Schiphol Airport in April no problems other than a slight delay.

A nightmare to visit this summer, eek.

I'm not ready for travel yet, this helps me decide that I should wait.

Waited in 2 hour line then had to run literally half a mile to get to the gate. Will never leave out of Rome again.
