Departure: Amsterdam, Netherlands - Schiphol (AMS)

In Brief: Amsterdam's Schiphol is the biggest airport in the Netherlands and the fourth-biggest in all of Europe in terms of flight volume. Though traditionally a flag-carrier airport (versus a low-cost carrier airport) Schiphol has shifted gears a bit in recent years, and opened a "pier" (sort of a terminal) with limited facilities for many of its low-cost airlines. Schiphol's facilities, range of shops, and extremely cosmopolitan and bustling spirit provide a snappy introduction (or farewell) to the Netherlands. Transportation: Schiphol is very well connected to Amsterdam. Trains run every few minutes and take about 20 minutes. One-way train journeys cost just €3.60.

Arrival: Seville, Spain - Aeropuerto de Sevilla (SVQ)

Seville Airport or "Aeropuerto de Sevilla" is the main airport for Seville and is Andalusia’s second airport, behind Málaga. The airport takes its architectural design from Seville's cultural roots, using three traditional components: the mosque, the palace and the orange trees. Travelers are greeted by an orange grove upon arrival to the airport before entering an area colored blue by the glass roofing tiles overhead and crowned with numerous arches supported by vaults.

Location

Seville Airport is located 10km (6 miles) northwest of Seville, between the city limits of Seville and Rinconada.

Transport

• Bus: There are buses that run from the Seville Airport into Prado de San Sebastian in the city center every 30 minutes. Detailed information on the buses can be found on the company’s Website.

Service

There is both an information terminal and Andalusian Tourist Board desk located in the terminal. In the airport there are a couple cafes and several shops. Other airport services include a bank, ATM, and first aid.
