Delhi to Amsterdam Flights

The Delhi to Amsterdam air route connects Indira Gandhi Airport (DEL) to Schiphol (AMS). This is one of the busiest international routes with multiple daily departures operated by 4 airlines.

As an international route, travellers need a valid passport and appropriate visa for the destination country. It's recommended to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights.

Compare fares across all airlines on FareEagle to find the best deal. Prices fluctuate based on demand, seasonality, and how far in advance you book. Generally, booking 2-4 weeks ahead for domestic flights and 6-8 weeks for international routes gives the best value.

The following airlines operate regular services between Delhi and Amsterdam. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.

Many Indians travel from Delhi to Amsterdam for business, studies, and tourism. Amsterdam offers a vibrant mix of canals, museums, and a relaxed atmosphere that attracts visitors from all over the world.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Amsterdam is between April and May or September and November. During these months, the weather is mild, and there are fewer tourists than in the peak summer months. You can also experience the tulip season in April-May.

Getting from the airport to Amsterdam

Schiphol Airport (AMS) is well-connected to Amsterdam Centraal Station. The train is the fastest option, costing around 5 euros and taking 15-20 minutes. Taxis are available but more expensive, costing approximately 50 euros.

Things to do in Amsterdam

Visit the Anne Frank House, a poignant reminder of World War II history. Explore the Rijksmuseum, home to Dutch Masters like Rembrandt and Vermeer. Take a canal cruise to see the city from a unique perspective. Stroll through the Vondelpark, Amsterdam's largest park.

Food to try

Try the 'bitterballen', deep-fried meatballs served as a snack with mustard. Sample 'stroopwafels', thin waffles with caramel syrup in the middle. Indulge in some Dutch cheese, such as Gouda or Edam.

Local tips

Carry a universal adapter for your electronics as European outlets are different. Purchase an 'I Amsterdam' City Card for free entry to many museums and attractions, plus unlimited use of public transport. Be aware of bicycle traffic, as cyclists have right of way.
