Schengen is actually a treaty or convention, signed in the Luxembourg village of Schengen in 1985, which today is simply known as ‘Schengen’.
Initially it was to allow for free travel between Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, France and (West) Germany, so no passport control or visas were required to cross their borders. If you lived in one of the five original countries, you moved across borders freely with no passport or customs checks.
Today, the Schengen area or zone includes most of the EU countries and a small number of non-EU states – Norway, Switzerland, Iceland and Lichtenstein).
Schengen.
If you hold a passport from a Schengen area country, you can travel between Schengen nations freely, without needing a visa or following the entry requirements that apply to nonSchengen travellers (foreign nationals). So Schengen airport terminals do not have passport control facilities, you just pass through them freely.
Nonschengen
If you’re travelling from outside the Schengen Area, you’ll need to use a terminal with full Passport Control facilities so border officers can verify your documents and process your entry into a Schengen country.
Consider this example: you and a travel companion are flying to the same destination but your partner holds a Brazilian passport while you hold a German one. You would depart through the Schengen terminal, while your partner would need to use the nonSchengen terminal, as they do not have the right to move freely within the Schengen area. Your partner would be treated as a foreign national entering a Schengenzone country and must, therefore, meet that country’s entry requirements and pass through full passport and customs checks.
Our priority is to locate our Aspire airport lounges close to airline boarding gates to optimise convenience and time for our travellers. It makes the whole process of boarding your flight easier and stress free so you can spend more time enjoying the amenities in our Aspire Amsterdam Lounge 41.

G Gates – usually 7-10 minutes
H Gates (H1-H7) – usually 8-12 minutes
