You clear at the gate at Schipol, so no to Boots

Buy the gin at Schipol.

So are you saying we can't get any new liquids airside in the uk?

You don't clear at the gate any more they upgraded last year (it's wonderful!). But you will have to change to the Schengen departures and go through passport control. I don't think you go through security though. If you ask they should put any liquids in a sealed bag for you just in case.

Oh and we had a major queue last week transferring so be prepared. Had a hour and a half ended queuing for an hour- you have to go through passport control. Coming back was so much nicer.

Heck loli we've only got an hour !

Helen don't panic they let those boarding first jump to the front of the queue. It's all signed well follow signs for Transfers and show the officials your boarding passes you'll be sent to the front. There are computerised controls which we couldn't use as we had a 13 year old with us. On the way there I was last to board I was in a right state but the staff were really laid back.
