cheap flight to amsterdam

geeza · 25 Mar 2007 at 14:28

Im looking for some flights to amsterdam on 14th July returning on the 15th
Flights from either leeds bradford, doncaster or east mids

The cheapest ive found is £90 from leeds

Can anyone suggest sites or find any

thanks

90 quid is about the norm with taxes, unless you get promotional 99p ones with 70 quid taxes you wont get much better, i just use KLM as it saves a lot of hassel.

thanks. was going to use klm, but wondered if there was any cheaper -do you think we get money back if we dont take any luggage at all?

£90 at short notice is reasonable if it is at a weekend, re luggage some airlines add on for luggage but none rem=duce for no luggage

you may want to check what events are on in Amsterdam on those dates, I turned up mid/late July one year and landed right in the middle of Gay Pride weekend :eek:

You know, if it was a big difference I would take a coach ride to London, but if you add up the costs it's pretty much the same, LBA to Schipol is just 45 minutes away as well, well worth the money.

Have fun by the way

rotty, going to sensastion black, so far from a gay event!

£46 is cheap but it means waiting on sunday till 5pm with no luggage and also waiting on saturday until 10pm when the event starts

Our plan is to land, go to the event, stay up then get a flight back after its finished at about 9am

Phil6340 · 25 Mar 2007 at 16:09

You could always book into one of the many cheap rooms for around 40 euro and sleep till the event starts!!!

That skyscanner site is all the flight possibilities anyway so what ever you decide have a good time.

Superdude · 25 Mar 2007 at 18:04

BabyBMI do some great flight deals to Amsterdam even from smaller airports.

Great service, good planes, leather seats. Can't ask for more at the price.

yeh, it starts at 10pm anyway so should have enough time. Dont have to get there for 10 on the dot anyway, they just have all the opening crap early anyway.
