You may never give each other a kiss at Schiphol

It's quite an expensive kiss: it costs you 5 whole euros to get a peck from your love at Schiphol. It's unbelievable but it's going to happen.

According to the Telegraaf, the ‘kiss & ride’ section will no longer be free in a while. You will have to pay 5 euros per car to drop someone off there. Why? That's what Schiphol doesto ensure that fewer cars come to Schiphol and that more people take public transport to the airport. That's why parking at Schiphol has only become more expensive in recent years. Now it's the turn of those sweet, nice people who drop off a loved one holidaymaker just for nothing. That's about 10 million a year. Ten million kiss & rides a year. Smart, huh, managers of Schippie. Suddenly you catch an extra 50 million euros, wow.

“The available space at the airport is getting tighter, as the number of travelers continues to grow. In addition, we want to reduce pollution,” said a Schiphol spokesperson to the Telegraaf. Yeah yeah. Boohoo. The serious plans are there. According to an online poll, 93% of people find Schiphol ‘not wise’ if this plan goes ahead. Still, it's just a matter of time.

When it all happens is still unclear, so enjoy that sticking around for Departure Hall 1 as long as you can. Give each other nice fifteen kisses and hugs and take your time there at that quick I’ll-just-drop-you-off spot. And then it's saving 5 euro notes... Or... No... Alone... By train...
