  • What airports serve Amsterdam from San Francisco?

    Flying from San Francisco to Amsterdam, Netherlands, requires you to board a plane from SFO or San Francisco International Airport, the second-largest airfield in California and the busiest in the San Francisco Bay Area. By passenger count, it is the seventh busiest airport in the US and 24th busiest in the world. To avoid road traffic from downtown San Francisco, board the AirTrain Red Line train at the BART station. This should take you 30min to get to SFO. You’ll alight at AMS or Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, commonly referred to as Schiphol Airport. Located in Haarlemmermeer, southwest of Amsterdam, AMS is the biggest airport in the Netherlands and one of the world's busiest. Its passenger terminal has three sections where you’ll find restaurants, baby care rooms, massage services, ATMs, and currency exchange services. Moving from Amsterdam Airport to the city center takes around 25min by Bus 397 or a taxi.

  • Which airlines fly directly from San Francisco to Amsterdam?

    Nonstop flights that follow the route SFO – AMS are mostly provided by Delta and KLM airlines. Other airlines operating with one to three stops include Finnair, SWISS, Lufthansa, Air Europa, Air Canada, TAP Air Portugal, Turkish Airlines, American Airlines, British Airways, SAS, Aer Lingus, and Icelandair. Some flights served by Delta will have layovers at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), or John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). When flying with Air Europa or Lufthansa, you might need to do a self-transfer during layovers.

  • What are the layover options between San Francisco and Amsterdam?

    A few flights to Amsterdam from San Francisco stop at Frankfurt Airport (FRA) and Madrid–Barajas Airport (MAD).

Stopping once at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) will save you time. The whole journey from SFO - SEA - AMS takes 12h 25min, but the airfare is slightly higher. On the other hand, making a layover at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) doesn’t change the price but takes 14h 45min to arrive in Amsterdam, hence an extra 2h 20m. Other layover options that don’t make a difference in ticket price include stopping at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) or Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR).
