Getting to and from the airports
London: Heathrow is on the Elizabeth line and Piccadilly line, Gatwick and Stansted have fast trains, and London City is on the DLR, close to Canary Wharf.
Amsterdam: Trains from Schiphol reach Amsterdam Centraal in about 15–20 minutes.
Always confirm transport times on the official airport or transit website, especially for late-night arrivals.
Reading the search results like a pro
Sort by price, then by duration, and compare the two lists. The quickest option is not always the most expensive, and the lowest headline price can hide a very long layover or an early-morning airport change. Use the filters for stops, departure times and airlines, and open the fare details to see what is included. If you travel with family, price the whole group, as the last few seats at one price may not cover everyone.
Setting a price alert lets you relax and decide when a fare suits you, instead of checking every day.
Before you book: documents and rules
Check that your passport is valid for the whole trip (many countries ask for six months beyond your return date), and look up visa or electronic travel authorisation rules on the official government website of every country you will enter, including any you only connect through. Baggage allowances differ by airline and fare type, so read our baggage rules guide and pack using our travel checklist.
