Free train travel between Amsterdam Schiphol Airport and Amsterdam RAI As an international Aquatech visitor you are entitled to free (first class) train travel between Amsterdam Schiphol Airport and Amsterdam RAI.

You can order your ticket almost up to your departure for the Aquatech exhibition. After placing your order and providing your travel dates you will receive a link from where you can print two one-way train tickets; one for your journey to the RAI, the other for your trip back to the airport. Together with a valid ID, these print outs serve as a valid train ticket between Amsterdam Schiphol Airport and Amsterdam RAI.
