Each month I examine the trends in airfare to Amsterdam from North America. As of late May 2008, things are looking fairly grim for anyone hoping to snag a really cheap flight. The insane price of fuel has definitely crept its way into airfare prices, and yet still the airlines are getting clobbered and in [...]

About once a month I examine trends on the cost of flights to Amsterdam from major North American cities. And in late April 2008, things are looking pretty grim for June flights. I guess the good news is that the June prices aren’t much different from the May prices I found, and a couple of [...]

The rules for which airlines can fly into which airports changed a bit as of March 30, and this should be good news for quite a few travelers to Amsterdam.

You may remember not long ago when I mentioned an interesting article on BootsnAll.com that tested 7 major airfare sites to see which one was the cheapest. The results of those trials were a bit surprising, but that was just the first in a 4-part series that tested those sites in other areas as well. [...]
Iceland Air to Amsterdam with a free stopover

This same deal has been going on for at least 10 years, and I’ve tried to schedule it myself quite a few times, but unfortunately it’s never worked out for me. Put simply, you can fly from a few different US cities to most of the major destinations in Europe on Iceland Air, and you [...]
March in Amsterdam

March can be one of the best months of the year to visit Amsterdam. The weather is noticeably warming up, crowds are still quite small, and airfares to the city are still at or near their lowest point of the year. And at least up until Daylight Savings Time starts on the last Sunday of [...]
