Considering a visit to Amsterdam? You should. With its world-class museums and iconic canals, the capital of the Netherlands is (rightfully) one of the most popular destinations in Europe. So, when airlines slash fares on tickets to Amsterdam, it’s not a bad idea to take advantage of the deal.
Airlines like American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines and KLM have cut prices on nonstop flights from U.S. departure cities such as Boston, Newark and New York City. The travel window in this deal is quite generous, too, spanning from October through March 2025.
This sale involves basic economy tickets, so you get a free carry-on bag. Checking luggage will cost you around $75 per bag.
Some of the lowest fares spotlighted in this deal come from booking through an online travel agency.

Sample flights
In late October, we found nonstop fares on Delta Air Lines from Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) for $475 round-trip.
According to Google Flights data, this ticket usually costs nearly $800.
We also found the same price for this route readily available in November.
KLM has nonstop flights out of New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Amsterdam in November for $490, a good price for this route.
You can book this same itinerary in early December on Delta for as low as $475, which gives you the opportunity to enjoy Amsterdam’s famous Christmas markets.
If you live in the tri-state area and prefer flying out of Newark, United has nonstop flights from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) to Amsterdam available for just $490. We found good availability at this price in January and February.
