If you are flying to the Netherlands:

From Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, you can easily access the train platforms after exiting the arrivals gates.

If you come through Eindhoven airport, you can get a bus shuttle once you leave the entrance, heading directly to the Eindhoven train station.

On both, a combination of intercity trains is probably needed to get to Enschede.

A change of platform is required throughout the route. For more information consult www.ns.nl.
