Liverpool to Amsterdam flights

Direct Liverpool to Amsterdam flights run year-round and take 1 hour 20 minutes.

Tickets start from £24.

Your journey begins at Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL), eight miles south-east of the city centre. A single terminal makes navigation straightforward. Arriva buses 86A and 82A, alongside the 500 Airport Flyer, run regular services from central Liverpool with a journey time of about 30 minutes. Alternatively, take a train to Liverpool South Parkway for a short connecting bus to the terminal, or grab a taxi for a 15 to 20-minute ride.

Inside, you will find restaurants, retail shops, currency exchange desks, and free WiFi. easyJet is the main carrier here, providing regular direct flights to Amsterdam.

Flights land at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS), a major hub using a single-terminal design split into spacious departure halls. The fastest way to the centre is by train from the station directly beneath Schiphol Plaza. Direct services to Amsterdam Central Station take around 20 minutes. If you prefer the bus, the Amsterdam Airport Express 397 leaves every 15 minutes, reaching central stops in about 35 minutes.

Taxis and private hire vehicles wait at the designated ranks outside the arrivals hall, offering a 20-minute drive into town depending on traffic.

See Rembrandt and Vermeer masterpieces at the Rijksmuseum, or visit the historic Anne Frank House. For a taste of local life, wander through the independent cafes and markets of De Pijp or Oud-West. Renting a bicycle to ride through the 47-hectare Vondelpark or booking a canal boat cruise are classic ways to explore.

In December, town squares host festive Christmas markets complete with outdoor ice rinks and traditional food stalls.
