The therapists of Massage Schiphol Airport

The grid above shows the whole roster for this site. It is not a list of who is working tonight, because nobody here works to a shift pattern the house sets. Each woman decides her own hours, and the reply to your message says which of them are free at the hour you give.

Late arrivals and early risers

A request for half past midnight and a request for four in the morning reach different parts of the roster. Some of the women prefer the long evening and are still taking bookings well after the last train into town has gone; others would rather start the day in the dark and are free for a guest who wants an hour before an early check-in. Say which end of the night your flight falls on and the answer arrives in a single exchange.

Languages

Every profile lists English, which settles the question for a traveller who has spent the day in airports. Spanish appears on four profiles, and French, Russian and Ukrainian on three each. Four of the women speak three languages, and eleven further languages appear on one profile apiece.

Where each of them starts from

None of the twenty-three works from a studio. The journey begins at home, which for seven of them is in Oud-Zuid, for seven in the centre, for five in the Jordaan and for four in De Pijp. A hotel in central Amsterdam is reached in forty to sixty minutes from a confirmed booking. A room at Schiphol, Schiphol-Rijk or Schiphol-Oost is arranged separately, and the time her journey out will take is agreed with you before anything is fixed.

What a profile shows

Her age, between twenty-two and twenty-nine on this roster, the district she travels from, her languages, the techniques she offers and her photographs, published with her consent. The rates are printed on each profile and are identical for everyone, with the couple and two therapist figures beside them.

She chooses which bookings to accept and can decline any of them. She decides what a session includes, says where her limits are before it begins and may end it whenever she chooses. Guests are twenty-one or over without exception, as the age statement explains.

Asking for one of them

Write her name first, then the room, the hour and the length, and the flight you are arriving on or leaving by. If she is not free, the reply says so plainly and says who is. The booking page lists everything else a first message should carry.
