Cheap flights from Newquay to Amsterdam

July is the cheapest month in the price data on this page, and it is also peak summer holiday season, so those fares go early. The rest of the year is priced from September through February, which covers the autumn school break, the Christmas run and the quiet weeks after New Year. Midweek departures, Tuesday to Thursday, usually cost less than Friday and Sunday, when weekenders travel both ways. Fares climb around school holidays and Dutch public holidays, so shift your dates by a day or two and compare.

There are no nonstop flights, so every option here is a connection. easyJet is the low-cost name on the route, with a bare fare that leaves checked bags and seat choice as paid extras. Aer Lingus and its regional partner Emerald Airlines sell connections on a single ticket, which usually means your bag is checked through and the airline looks after you if a leg is delayed. Loganair, a regional carrier, links Cornwall with UK hubs, and Edelweiss Air, a Swiss leisure airline, turns up on some itineraries. Full-service fares generally include more, so add bags and seats before you compare totals.

You land at Schiphol, the single airport serving Amsterdam, sitting south-west of the city. The terminal is one large building with several piers, so allow time to walk from your gate to passport control and baggage reclaim. Trains leave from the station under the terminal and reach Amsterdam Centraal in a short ride, running through the day and into the night. Buses and taxis also run into town, though the train is usually quicker when traffic is heavy. Coming from the UK you enter the Schengen area, so expect a passport check and keep your onward details handy.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check your connection time, since every itinerary from Newquay involves a change and a short transfer is the usual reason for a missed trip.
• Book the whole journey on one ticket where you can, so a delayed first leg is the airline's problem and your bag is checked through.
• On low-cost fares, add checked baggage and seat selection before you compare totals.
• Carry a passport valid for your travel dates and check the current entry rules for the Netherlands, as the UK sits outside the Schengen area.
• Fly in July for the cheapest fares shown here, and book early because it is peak holiday season.
