Schiphol airport massage services, sorted by the gap you have

Start from the departure time, not from the menu. Every layover has a fixed end, and the question worth asking first is how much of the gap is left once the walk to the hotel, a shower and the return to security are taken out of it.

Schiphol airport massage when the gap is short

With four or five hours between flights, the usable part is often two. That fits one hour, or ninety minutes at the outside, and the formats that suit it are the ones that ask nothing of the room. Erotic oil massage and sensual massage need a bed, warm air and the towels she carries in. There is no rinse to schedule and nothing to dry, so the end of the booking is the end of the booking and you can dress straight into your travel clothes.

Nuru and soapy are poor choices for a tight window. Both run on gel or foam, both end in a shower, and both turn fifteen spare minutes into zero. They are good bookings on a long layover with a room that holds you until morning, and uncomfortable ones with a departure at noon.

When the body clock is the problem

Jet lag leaves some guests flat and others wired, and the two want different things. Flat and heavy suits slow sensual work over ninety minutes, which tends to hand you straight into sleep once she has gone. Wired and restless, the body insisting it is mid-afternoon somewhere else, suits tantra massage, which works with breath and pace rather than fighting the alertness. Tantra wants ninety minutes as a floor; sixty cuts it off before it has settled.

A night that was not supposed to happen

A cancelled connection or a rebooking onto tomorrow's first departure hands you a whole night in a room near the runway. That is what the eight hour overnight is for: one fixed figure for a single guest with one therapist, placed wherever in the night suits the alarm you now have to set. Bring in a second woman or a second guest and the figure changes; the overnight line on every profile shows by how much.

Two pairs of hands, or two travellers

Four hand massage puts two therapists on one guest inside a single hour, and it makes sense precisely when the gap is short and you want the hour full rather than long. Couples travelling together can share one therapist or take one each, and the second way costs twice the first. Say which in the first message, because it changes the whole arrangement.

The same rates at the airport as in town

Sixty minutes, ninety, two hours and three are the lengths on offer, each priced on the therapist's own page. An airport hotel carries the same figures as a canal house; what differs is that every Schiphol booking is confirmed with half the fee in advance and the journey out is agreed with you before anything is fixed. The order in which the messages run is laid out on the booking page.
