If you're looking for inexpensive flights to Amsterdam, be aware that prices can double during certain times of the year. Tulip season is a huge to-do in the Netherlands and lasts from late March to the end of June. Prices on flights and accommodation rise as the tourists flood in. Summer is Amsterdam's high season, and so flights are a bit more expensive than during the winter or autumn. However, be aware that in September a number of annual business conventions flood the city, driving up costs.
