Delayed at Amsterdam Schiphol (AMS)?
Schiphol is a major EU hub for KLM and partners. EU departures trigger EU261; missed connections via Amsterdam are a frequent compensation scenario.
Tips for Amsterdam airport claims
- Single-booking connections: measure delay at final arrival, not just the AMS leg.
- KLM and Transavia departures from AMS are standard EU261 cases.
- Document gate changes and bus transfers to remote stands - they add to delay time.
Connections and missed flights
Hub delays often cause missed connections. On a single booking, measure delay at your final destination. Use the calculator and read EU261 basics before filing.
Compensation amounts
Fixed delay compensation is typically €250, €400, or €600 per passenger when arrival delay is 3+ hours and extraordinary circumstances do not apply - regardless of nationality.
