Amsterdam Flights

Charming, quirky, and delightfully free-spirited, Amsterdam is a city that practically screams fun. Regularly referred to as the ‘Venice of the North’, this city boasts many major canals – most notably Herengracht, Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht – which are lined by stunning mansions and coach houses, the Homomonument and the Noorderkerk.
If sightseeing while drifting through the canals is not interesting enough, Amsterdam also boasts numerous cultural attractions, like the Van Gogh Museum and the Podium Mozaiëk theatre. Considering the vast diversity of this locale, tourists from around the globe gather here on a frequent basis, which means cheap flights to Amsterdam are usually easy to find.

Best time to go to Amsterdam

Peak Season:

The months of June through August make up the peak season in this city. The warm weather of this period calls tourists to take advantage of one of many outdoor activities and events, like viewing a performance at Zomer in the Tolhuistuin, taking a guided bike tour through the city, or strolling through the Rijksmuseum garden.

Shoulder Season:

From April to May, and September to November, this city sees its shoulder season. Temperatures range from extremely hot to unbearably cold, so tourists drastically thin out, leaving inexpensive flights to Amsterdam up for grabs. These months are fantastic for visiting the Anne Frank Huis, exploring the Artis zoo, and touring the Wynand Fockink distillery or Heineken factory without the hassle of large crowds.

Off Season:

Provided you enjoy chilly weather, Amsterdam is a great place to visit from December to March. Because tourists avoid the city during these months, flights are inexpensive and the city is still in full swing. For instance, you can get in on the New Year festivities in December, or browse the Realisme Art Fair in January.

Do you have any tips for my flight to Amsterdam?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Amsterdam holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be easy if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Amsterdam?
The trick is to be well prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Amsterdam in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • Keep your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
