Amsterdam and Amsterdam Airports
Amsterdam is a thriving modern city, the capital of the Netherlands, just 50 miles from Germany, with a large number of national and international connections. Besides the airport, there are a multitude of hotels, restaurants, bars, theaters, clubs, cafes, shops, and coffee shops all over the city to enjoy. Before continuing on to one of the other gorgeous routes, this could be one of the greatest ways to visit the city by train.
2 Amsterdam Centraal (Amsterdam Airport) — 375km
Grand Central Station (Amsterdam City), 10128 Canada, Koekelberg, Netherlands
As the only airport of the city, Amsterdam Centraal is located 20 minutes away from the city center. This is a great method to travel in and out of town, so make sure you check your flights ahead of time to make sure it’s accessible when you leave. Take the train to Amsterdam City if you don’t have a car (close to the city center).
Due to the high number of international flights coming and going, Centraal is already very busy with four terminals and over 7 million passengers passing through the airport each year.
Of course, it is not just for business or leisure, it is also a wonderful place to see if you are flying in or out of Amsterdam. In fact, a rail ticket directly to Centraal from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport may be purchased for as little as 4 euros. The station can easily be found using one of the many websites which allows one to purchase train tickets from all over Europe (free when using a Visa card).
Travel to and through Amsterdam Centraal is a fast and easy way to travel to and through the city. Upon arriving, it is possible to transfer to any train station within the city (Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, Amstelveen Centraal, Utrecht Centraal) by using the ticket booths at the airport. There are also free transfers for Amsterdam Centraal passengers to destinations across the Netherlands and Germany.
As the biggest bus stop in Amsterdam, Polderbus can be used to travel to any city within the Netherlands by simply tapping one of the travel cards onto a reader. To see all the routes which are available, make sure you have a map available. To buy a bus pass from Polderbus (also known as Metrobus in Amsterdam) for Amsterdam City and surrounding areas, make sure you have a credit card with enough travel points.
Traveling by bus to and through Amsterdam will be one of the most relaxed ways to experience the city. It is also one of the most convenient ways to connect from other cities in the Netherlands to Amsterdam City. You can easily get from Rotterdam to Amsterdam Centraal in about 1 hour by bus. Centraal Amsterdam is the nearest train station. This station connects to many other cities in the Netherlands and Germany, so it is a great way to get to a whole bunch of other cities all within one quick journey. The city bus stops at all the bus stops all over Amsterdam, so you can travel across the city and explore all of the city by bus.
As mentioned, the city is very crowded, so check the schedules to make sure you are not missing the most popular routes (like the tram in the morning). As an added bonus, you will be able to see a lot more of the city by traveling by train instead of bus, so you can travel all around the city in a leisurely and relaxed way. The train station closest to the City Center is Centraal Amsterdam, so check out the schedules in advance to make sure you are going to the most convenient route possible. The main train station is also a little busier than the train station at Centraal Amsterdam, so if you are planning to travel to a lot of destinations in the Netherlands, make sure to check the schedules and try to make the train in the morning.
If you are flying out of Amsterdam, then the airport will most likely be at the end of a city bus route or at the end of a tram line. Make sure you do some planning ahead of time so you don’t end up having to travel by train and bus again (once to get to the airport and then again to get from the airport to the city). The bus stops outside the main Amsterdam Airport, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
While some of the larger international aircraft do not fly directly to Amsterdam, all flights to and from Amsterdam have the option of stopping in the city. From the airport, all the international flights have the opportunity to stop at Amsterdam Centraal and then travel to any city in the Netherlands. Make sure to check the schedule ahead of time because you can get from the airport to the city by just boarding the correct bus.
KLM is responsible for all international flights to and from Amsterdam. The airport is also located right next to Amsterdam City, so it is possible to get from the airport to the city by bus in as little as 5 minutes. As far as the domestic flights go, Amsterdam Schiphol Airport is a little bit further away from the city center, so this trip will take longer. You can alight at the City Centre bus station and take the bus to the airport.
Though all the major airlines offer some flights, there is usually only one flight every day. So, the bus stop which you use to reach the city from the airport is likely going to be the bus stop closest to the main bus stop in the city. The distance to the airport from Amsterdam City is approximately 15 minutes on the bus. The bus ride from the airport to Amsterdam City is approximately 30 minutes. The city bus stops right at the main bus stop in Amsterdam City (which is approximately 6 minutes from the city center), so you do not have to take a lot of steps to get to the main bus stop in the city. All city buses connect to the city bus line, so all you need to do is get on the right bus. Remember that all bus routes connect with the metro, so you can go to almost any destination in Amsterdam by hopping on a metro line.
Lagos Airport
Lagos has become the hub of all flights to the USA. The United States was not always represented here by Middle Eastern airlines. They used to have Middle Eastern Airlines as their feeder airline to the Middle East.
It’s past time for this to stop. Every Lagosian, no matter how fat or wealthy, should desire American Airlines to fly to Lagos.
Allow the Lagos Central Airport to be used for regular flights to America.
After three years of staging for the Australian rugby team and then the Rugby Championships, Lagos does not have a single direct flight to America. What is the point of this insistence for the City of Lagos to be made a city of free trade?
Lagos does not need city status to be recognised as an international hub for business, especially when there is a gateway to get there.
If there is no city for business, then let the City of Lagos manage an airport, maybe with some kind of franchise arrangement with a foreign airline.
Commercial service is required at every airport in the world. Without commercial flights, it is impossible to expect any business entity to invest in the city of Lagos to build a better airport. An international hub must be served by the airport.
Go back to the 1950s when Lagos was declared a city. City fathers decided that the main road linking Lagos to the east and the south was to be a direct link to the city from the West. That road has not been made better since then.
The Lagos State Government must restore the Lagos-Ogun-Delta highway as quickly as possible so that it can serve both the north and south. Also, the highway cannot support commercial flights because of congestion in Lagos.
First Nigerian Airways served the Lagos Airport in the 1950s. It is what we called the Lagos-Kano-Ibadan route. But then, there was a specific port. Lagos now has two ports. It has a great advantage over Singapore and Dubai because Lagos has a deep water port.
As a result of their deep-water ports, Singapore and Dubai have been designated as hubs. But Dubai and Singapore are not making anything of it.
