You will experiece nothing as it relates to "passport control" departing DFW. You will pass through Schengen passport control in AMS and then nothing arriving in Barcelona. On the return it will be nothing departing Barcelona, Schengen departure passport control in AMS and US immigration arriving in DFW.

Wow! Thank you for answering so quickly! Looks like we should be okay! Thanks again!

Hello,

I am brand new to this board. My husband and I will be travelling abroad for the first time this June. We will travelling from Dallas to Barcelona with a connecting flight in Amsterdam. Can anyone give me any pointers on how to get through customs/immigrations as quickly and painlessly as possible? How does the process work? In Dallas, will we go through Spain or Netherlands customs? Also we have a return flight at 6:30 a.m. from Barcelona. Is anyone familar with the airport there and can tell us what to expect? Neither of us speak Spanish. Will we have any trouble getting around at the airport? Any comments/advise will be most appreciated!

I see that this topic is several months old but my husband and I will be traveling from Dallas to Barcelona with a connecting flight in Amsterdam. We have 1 hr, 50 min from arrival to departure in Amsterdam. I was concerned about having to go through customs in Amsterdam and whether or not we would have enough time to get our connecting flight to Barcelona. You have all put my mind at ease that we should be okay.

Can anyone tell me what we can expect going through immigrations/customs at DFW (Dallas) and BCN (Barcelona) airports? Do we go through Spain C/I at DFW and USA C/I at BCN? This is our 1st trip abroad and are not sure what to expect.
