Hey, people.
I'm a bit worried about the current chaos at Schiphol Airport, specifically the queue to pass security checks, which could take 4 hours, with the risk of missing your flight.
Any tips from locals? Is the situation that bad? I'm attending the 1st show on the 24th and leaving the following day at 19:50: I have read also that there are issues on the trains connecting the airport with the Cruijff Arena-Ziggo Dome area (I will be staying in a nearby hotel).

My intention was to arrive at the airport around 4 hours before my flight departs.
Not aware of issues with the trains though.

Security line times at Schipol are varying pretty wildly - a friend flew out Monday morning a week ago and spent 4 hours queuing, a friend flew out this morning and made it through in 90 minutes. Flying on a Monday evening may not be as bad as the morning, but I would give yourself 4+ hours just in case.

Worrying about the show being on and worrying about getting home might now put me off traveling. Got them in Krakow, seen them in Amsterdam before, not fussed on the uncertainty and hassle right now.
