JFK, however, offers the most flight options. With over twenty airlines like Brussels Airlines and Delta making this trip daily, you can find just the right flight for your budget and travel schedule.
  • Because you are leaving the continent, you’ll probably be gone a week or more. This means you’ll likely need to park your car in a long-term lot. For convenience, consider booking parking at JFK or LaGuardia in advance. Depending on where you choose to park, the cost will range from $238 (208 euros) to $273 (238 euros) for a week at both JFK and LaGuardia. Make your parking reservations when you book your flight or do it online.

The city train leaves every hour from the airport going to Amsterdam Central Station and costs 5.50 euros ($6.29) one-way. Access to the train is conveniently located below Schiphol Plaza in the main hall of the terminal.
  • Spend more time on your vacation and less time on the plane with a non-stop flight from New York City to Amsterdam. Norwegian Shuttle, KLM, Lufthansa, United, and Delta all offer non-stop flights that last about 7 hours.
  • Travelers flying from New York to Amsterdam via John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) should know that the establishment features around 24 lounges. Single-entry pass holders can access eight of the lounges, while holders of Priority Pass membership can access 7 lounges. Still, any traveler can access these lounges irrespective of the airline they're flying if they agree to pay for a day pass.

Movement between these terminals is facilitated by AirTrain and Shuttle buses (Star Alliance Connections) running at an interval of 5-15min. In addition, you can use the walkways to get from one terminal to another.
  • Several hotels are within reach of New York’s airports, making it possible for those with early morning departures to sleep near these facilities. Typically, these properties provide courtesy shuttles to and from the airport. Those departing to Amsterdam from New York through John F. Kennedy International (JFK) should plan and sleep at Holiday Inn Express Kennedy Airport, An IHG Hotel.
  • Religious souls who’ll be traveling from New York to Amsterdam via Newark Liberty International (EWR) will be glad to know that there’s a dedicated room for prayers. You can locate it on the airside corridor between Concourses C2 & C3, Terminal C. It provides a perfect escape from the noisy terminals for a private session with your maker.
  • American Airlines operating between John F. Kennedy to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) allows passengers to board with their four-legged friends such as cats and dogs.
