Amsterdam Flights

Laid back and warm, quirky and quaint, Amsterdam is a city with a lot of character. Although the locals lend to this destination's personality, much of the charm can be found in the stunning architecture, throughout the landscape and within the heart of its history and culture. As this city tends to be on the liberal side, tourists with a variety of backgrounds flock to it. Given this fact, it is not surprising to discover that cheap flights to Amsterdam are easy to come by, regardless of the season.

Best time to go to Amsterdam

Peak Season:

The peak season in Amsterdam falls from June to August. During this period, the city is filled with tourists seeking to enjoy all the warmth of summer. This is an excellent time to get involved with the city's outdoor activities, such as the Zomer in the Tolhuistuin, lounging on the beach, or strolling around the canals.

Shoulder Season:

The shoulder season in Amsterdam lasts from April to May, then again in September to November. These months are generally mild, but the temperature can sometimes drastically shift from very hot to very cold. Because of this tourism wanes, leaving room for the stray visitor to enjoy the sites in peace. Flights to Amsterdam are usually cheap during this season, unless you book your trip near Queen's Day in April, when the city bursts with activity.

Off Season:

Though Amsterdam can be bracingly cold during the off season from December to March, this is still a great time to visit, as flights are cheap and there is still plenty to do. For instance, you could visit the Van Gogh museum, tour the Heineken Brewery or explore the Nieuwe Kerk.

How to survive the flight to Amsterdam?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Amsterdam could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a great experience if you’ve got all the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Amsterdam?
The trick is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Amsterdam in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

  • Keep your passport and boarding pass close by. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to show at security.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Don’t forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
