Has anybody here had experience of transitting through Amsterdam Schipol airport with a Filipino passport between London and Manila? Do you need a visa (whether Schengen or transit).
My wife-to-be and I will be taking a honeymoon. KLM is currently quite cheap but I don't want visa hassles. The alternative is Emirates via Dubai where I know there are no visa issues. And my fiancee wants to be surprised, so I'm doing all the booking... visas would kind of give the game away!
Thanks.

I've transited through Schipol onwards to another Schengen country from the US. I can tell you that there are multiple stations between terminals where they do carefully check/recheck your passports/visas. If you hold a FIlipino passport (with a VALID UK visa) transiting from the UK to Manila or vice versa, you should be okay.

I believe that if you are just in transit for a maximum of four or six hours, there is no need for a visa especially if you have an onward flight to another Schengen or (non-Schengen) European country.

Yes, they wil check your visa or passport even if you are just transferring flights in Schipol.
If everything is sin order, you will pass through with no problem.
