A two hour (nearly non stop) train ride through Germany and the Netherlands beats a layover any day in my opinion. The train costs around 115 USD return, so that still gets us into AMS pretty quickly for around $950. Which from west FL. is pretty good.

Air Berlin is the carrier.

hey , there you go as long as your happy right

$1691.52 for Iceland Air, Denver to Mokum Aug 23rd to Sept 12th. Fuck me. Booked.

Brutal right now... $1125-1200 for mid-December through New Years. The reality is I'd probably spend the extra $75, both since I hate US Airways and since I'm accumulating miles on Delta and getting close to rewards travel!

Looking into regional airports, Brussels is under a grand, so that's a possibility...

*On a side note, I love how it is cheaper to fly Tampa>Atlanta>Amsterdam than it is to fly Atlanta>Amsterdam!

right now, for November New York -Amsterdam nonstop is 940$,KLM 960 $ if anybody was wondering .With a 1 stop 650$

wow... about $100 drop in price today, for December... veeeery interesting!!

Update: The price has remained flat during the last two weeks at $1008. KLM IAD>AMS nonstop

Reviewing Kayak's and Bing's price predictions, Kayak would flip between buying and waiting, where as Bing always predicted the price to drop. This changed today, 17 days out from the travel dates:

Kayak



Bing



Makes one wonder...

Right on! Best price so far, which airline?

yeah plus the train fare and imo too much Time,, but hey that's just my opinion

I have flown R/T to Brussels on AA award tickets because that makes it a one stop trip for me. Otherwise I have to go through Heathrow, leave and re-enter security, and possibly rush to make a connection.

That works for me (mostly) on the way over, but returning is problematic. It's either a fairly early train from Amsterdam CS to Brussels, then transfer for the airport train or spend a night in Brussels. And of course the train ride is not free. But I don't mind paying it if I'm traveling on an award ticket.

I once almost did Dusseldorf on an award ticket (United/Lufthansa?) but it didn't pan out.

I'm jealous of those who can get directs from the US. Or anywhere else, for that matter. ;-)

Just did an expedia search for tickets, from Newark, NJ to Amsterdam non stop $940. Newark, NJ to Denver, CO $325, Newark, NJ to Seattle, WA $351, dates I used Nov 21 Dec 5

low airfares going west,, im going east ao im hoping prices drop a bit before i buy in sept

Have you been to either of the states yet Will ? My crikey I would have cycled there by now. .

Not yet but I feel obligated to spend some dollars in both of those states

it's a lot of miles to CO and even more to WA but it's the mile up that gets you
