This airport has weird quirks. Because the runway is short, the planes can’t be too heavy. That means fuel is limited.

So, your luggage allowance is strict. Check a bag too heavy? The plane might refuse to take off. Literally. Pilots do serious math on weight.
Also, the approach is insanely steep. The pilot drops down like an elevator. Passengers clap. It’s a tiny miracle every time.
The Secret Gems (Places That Feel Illegal)
You can fly to Luxembourg. No, seriously. It’s a tiny country of bankers and forests. The flight is 70 minutes of pure efficiency.
Another weird one: Rotterdam. It’s like Amsterdam’s edgy little brother. Architecture, food, and no crowds. The airport there is also small. Two tiny airports loving each other.
Even Florence, Italy is an option. You land right near the city centre. No two-hour bus rides. You step off the plane and smell the pasta.
