There have been news stories in the local press about a practice of the Dutch rail company whereby they 'encourage' Schiphol users to buy a 1st class (comfort ticket) instead of the normal 2nd class ticket, this based on the argument that people with luggage 'prefer' more space. It is always possible to change the default back to 2nd but people in airports tend to be tired and stressed so often choose the easiest way.


The story (in Dutch) is on www.volkskrant.nl/economie/article1351992.ece/NS-automaat_stuurt_toerist_de_dure_eerste_klasse_in?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+laatstenieuws+%28Volkskrant+Laatste+Nieuws%29

Many visitors arriving at Schiphol Airport might get a bad first impression of the country, because of unfriendly taxi drivers that might also overcharge. I use taxis a lot when I travel to and from the airport and I can give you this tip: use Ambassador Taxis. They have very helpful and friendly drivers and their rates are very good.
