Flights to the Netherlands

You can fly from London to Rotterdam in less than an hour. A flight from London to Amsterdam can take up to an hour and 20 minutes, depending on which UK airport you fly from.

You can fly to Amsterdam from London Heathrow, London Gatwick and London City Airport. If you’re heading to Rotterdam, you can fly from London City.

The cheapest time to fly to the Netherlands is in the autumn and winter months, when fewer tourists are visiting. Prices start to rise again in spring when the tulips start to bloom. Use our low fare finder to search for the cheapest time to visit.

You can enjoy a city break in the Netherlands at any time of year, but if you want to see the tulip fields, the best time to visit is between March and May, when the flowers bloom. The Dutch weather can be unpredictable, but if you visit in summer and early autumn, you’ll have the best chance of getting sunshine.

There are plenty of ways to reduce the cost of a trip to the Netherlands. Try visiting Amsterdam outside of peak times – including weekdays rather than weekends – to find better value. Or opt for the country’s second city Rotterdam, where tourist taxes are almost half the price of those in the capital and you can enjoy free festivals like the Unlimited Summer Carnival.

As one of the smaller countries in Europe, you can travel relatively quickly and easily within cities and between different areas of the Netherlands. The country prides itself on keeping its road network well maintained, making its public transport sustainable and creating an extensive cycle route network. 

You can also hire a car with British Airways if you want to get out of the cities and see more of what the Netherlands has to offer. You’ll receive great benefits, with all mandatory charges included and 24-hour customer support, plus you’ll collect Avios points on every rental.

For a small country, the Netherlands has a wealth of culture and innovation to offer. It boasts many world-famous paintings in its museums and galleries, and it’s a pioneer in sustainable technology and green living, making it one of the most cycle-friendly countries in the world. With lots of hidden gems to explore, you’re spoilt for choice – take your pick of the cutting-edge architecture of Rotterdam, the vibrant beach clubs of The Hague and the natural beauty of Zeeland.

You can book a hand baggage-only ticket or make the most of our generous baggage allowance. If you choose economy standard or one of our British Airways Holidays’ packages, each passenger can check in a bag weighing up to 23kg – in addition to a handbag, laptop case or other small bag. Families travelling in any cabin with younger children can also check in one car seat and one fully collapsible pushchair. Read more about baggage allowances for children.

If you’re flying in our business cabin, you can check in two bags weighing up to 32kg each. Read our baggage guide for full details.

Citizens of the UK and Ireland and EU passport holders do not need a visa to visit the Netherlands. If you hold a passport from a country or territory outside of these areas, you may need to apply for a visa before you travel. You can find out more about visa requirements for all the countries we fly to at the IATA Travel Centre.

Discover outstanding service from the moment you book. Fly with just hand baggage and you can carry two bags free of charge. Choose our checked baggage option and you can travel with hand baggage and a 23kg bag checked into the hold, plus enjoy free seat selection 24 hours before you fly. On board you’ll find HEPA-filtered air, quality on-board catering, and a warm, uniquely British welcome.
