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.

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.
