Your guide to booking New York to Amsterdam flights

Get tips on when to book, when to fly, and what to know before your trip.
  • If your dates are flexible, aim for a Sunday departure and avoid flying on Saturday. On this route, Sunday flights average C$ 1,046, about C$ 182 less than Saturday fares (15% savings) based on the last 12 months.
  • For the best chance at a low fare, aim to book around 14 weeks before you fly. On this route, that window historically saves about 15% versus last-minute pricing (KAYAK booking data, last 12 months).
  • If you can choose when to travel, plan your New York to Amsterdam trip for January. Fares historically average C$ 782 round-trip in that month – typically C$ 953 less than the most expensive month, which is June (based on the last 12 months).
  • For the best chance of arriving on time, fly with JetBlue. Over the past three months, 95% of JetBlue flights from New York to Amsterdam arrived on time, slightly above the route average of 86%. When flights on this route arrive late, they're delayed by an average of 3h 06m, so choosing an airline with strong on-time performance can make a difference if you're on a tight schedule.
  • If you have the time, taking a 1-stop flight through Munich Franz Josef Strauss Airport (MUC) can be cheaper than flying direct. The cheapest layover option averages C$ 607 round-trip on this route – about C$ 685 less than direct flights (based on the last 12 months).
  • If you're arriving late at night and need somewhere to stay, check out these hotels close to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.

    • Sheraton Amsterdam Airport Hotel and Conference Center
  • For flights from New York City to Amsterdam, you can choose between several airports. Along with John F. Kennedy International Airport, you can also fly out of LaGuardia. JFK, however, offers the most flight options. With over twenty airlines like Brussels Airlines and Delta making this trip daily, you can find just the right flight for your budget and travel schedule.
  • Because you are leaving the continent, you’ll probably be gone a week or more. This means you’ll likely need to park your car in a long-term lot. For convenience, consider booking parking at JFK or LaGuardia in advance. Depending on where you choose to park, the cost will range from $238 (208 euros) to $273 (238 euros) for a week at both JFK and LaGuardia. Make your parking reservations when you book your flight or do it online.
  • Amsterdam Schiphol Airport is the main airport in the Netherlands. Similar to other airports, its ground floor is separated into domestic and international flights. So, once you get off the plane, you’ll be directed immediately to Dutch customs/border control, which is also on the ground floor.
  • Schiphol Airport is less than 6 miles (or 9 kilometers) from downtown Amsterdam. You can take a taxi to your hotel or ride public transit. The city train leaves every hour from the airport going to Amsterdam Central Station and costs 5.50 euros ($6.29) one-way. Access to the train is conveniently located below Schiphol Plaza in the main hall of the terminal.
  • Spend more time on your vacation and less time on the plane with a non-stop flight from New York City to Amsterdam. Norwegian Shuttle, KLM, Lufthansa, United, and Delta all offer non-stop flights that last about 7 hours.
