Travelling to Amsterdam: tips and advice

Planning a trip from London to Amsterdam? Securing cheap flights to Amsterdam from London is the first step to a fantastic getaway. This section offers practical tips to make your Amsterdam journey smooth and enjoyable.

Packing Essentials: Pack for Amsterdam's changeable weather; layers are key. Bring comfortable walking shoes as you'll be doing a lot of exploring on foot. Don't forget essentials like your passport, travel insurance documents, and any necessary medications. If you plan on cycling (a popular Amsterdam activity!), pack appropriate clothing. Remember a raincoat or umbrella as showers can be frequent.

Airport Navigation: Navigating Heathrow efficiently requires planning. Check in online beforehand to save time. Familiarize yourself with the airport map to locate your terminal and gate. Allow ample time for security screening; it can be busy, especially during peak hours. Once through security, find your departure gate using the airport's digital displays or asking an airport staff member for assistance. London City Airport is a smaller airport and hence easier to navigate. We do advise arriving at the airport 2 hours before the departure of your flight.

In-Flight Comfort: For a comfortable KLM flight, consider selecting a window seat for better views or an aisle seat for easier access. Do you spot a WiFi logo while booking your trip or during your flight? This means you can stay connected and work or chat with your friends and family during the entire flight, even when you’re thousands of feet up in the sky.

Arrival and Transportation: Amsterdam Schiphol Airport is well-organized. Follow the signs to baggage claim and customs. From the airport, you can easily reach your accommodation using various methods. Taxis are readily available but can be expensive. Public transport (trains and trams) is efficient and affordable, offering connections to most parts of the city. Consider purchasing an Amsterdam Travel Ticket for unlimited travel on public transport. Rental cars are an option, if you are venturing out of Amsterdam. If you will be staying in Amsterdam, hiring a car may not be necessary given Amsterdam's very walkable and has excellent public transport system. You can use your bank card for cost-effective rides on trams, buses, and the metro. Just remember to check in and check out, as the system works differently from the UK.
