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.

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.
