Would you book a connection through AMS on purpose over a tighter routing?

I am comparing two itineraries and one of them connects through Schiphol with a longer stop.

The appeal is compact city access plus good use of medium layovers. The hesitation is security line volatility.

Would you intentionally route through Amsterdam if the total trip time was a bit longer but the layover quality looked much better?

I would absolutely choose AMS on purpose if the airport quality meaningfully lowers the chance of a chaotic connection day.

The best itinerary is not always the shortest one. Sometimes the calmer hub is worth far more than the saved hour on paper.

That said, if security line volatility is tied to the season or the exact bank of flights you are using, I would model that before committing.

A longer routing only wins when the extra time actually buys comfort, flexibility, or a better recovery window.
