Isn't Customs at Schipol?

Isn't Customs at Schipol?

You were denied entry into the Netherlands by Dutch customs?

No passport needed to leave a country, just to enter.

I'm confused.
 
Yea, me too. Did you have another form of ID to verify your passport or plane tickets with your name on them? My passport is in horrible condition, expires this year, and I've never ever had a problem entering another country, including Europe many times. Never been denied a visa and never had a problem in customs except for that time in Heathrow when I got nabbed for a nail file in my briefcase. Make sure to leave your lighters at home.

Guys,

I believe Phil had problems LEAVING the country. You have to present your passport when you do the check-in for any international air-travel. The airlines employee doing check-in must've decided it was the day to pee in people's cornflakes.

Sorry to hear about that Phil, I had no idea things were so damn orthodox on that side of the pond!
 
thanks minister...c ya on Tuesday- we r gona have a lot of catching up to do- anyone wana help? :canabis:

to clarify...I was leaving the east coast US and the check-in attendants took one look at my passport and needless to say, i didn't get my boarding pass...they def "pissed in my cornflakes" lol

wow i can't believe it? did you ask to speak to its superior? i would have caused hell i tell you. just a corrner a bit lose is no reason to deny you entry on the plane. what about the customs did you tell them? they might have said its ok and told the check in creture to stop missuesing her job. to screw with folks for no reason. if it was expired its a different story. but that is real hard luck man.

No..... Now a days you need to show your passport. lets see

At the desk checking in (Or if you checked in online, to the cubicle!)

At the security gate......

This time...AFTER leaving the security gate????

Then before boarding..

This has NOTHING to do with Customs......

Speaking of which, I LOVE A'dam "Customs" Nothing to declare? Exit door!

I HATE NY Customs....... Er.... Ever been in trouble with the law Sonny? (You know the power trip. Im 15 years older yet he calls me Sonny!)

Thanks for the Update! I "gotta" say I "lost" mine when I get back..... This time the guy (immagration) looks at me and says "Come To Holland A lot!!!!)

Yeah, Id say, a 4 year old passport that is in need of "extra" pages because its SOOO full and 1 and ONLY 1 destination!!!

Schipol, Amsterdam, Holland!

Jah Bless!

That's horrible. You're keeping a good attitude though. What's the difference in your passport between today and Tuesday? Different airport?
