Peak season:
The peak seasons vary depending on where exactly you are hoping to travel to although you’ll struggle to find the cheapest flights to the Netherlands during the tulip season, which is April to the middle of May, school holidays and late December. Rotterdam sees the Unlimited Festival in June which sees a 6 day multicultural festival of live music and a street carnival. May to September are also very busy months with events scattered around and the general demand on flight tickets due to the summery weather. You’ll need to make sure you plan ahead and secure your flights to the Netherlands well in advance if you’re to have any chance of finding discounted flight tickets.
Off season:
The off season sees lots of rain and temperatures plummet, usually starting from around October time although January to March sees the winter come into full swing. This is usually when you can find the cheapest flights to the Netherlands however you are slightly limited on what you can do as the cold weather shuts down a lot of tourist activities. January does see the International Film Festival in Rotterdam which is a great event to attend if you’re in the area around the time it’s on. Some Canals in Amsterdam freeze over too which opens up the chance of skating on the ice.

If weather is an important factor for your trip to Netherlands, use this chart to help with planning. For those seeking warmer temperatures, July is the ideal time of year to visit, when temperatures reach an average of 16.0 C. Travellers hoping to avoid the cold should look outside of February, when temperatures are typically at their lowest (around 2.0 C).
On average you’ll find the cheapest flights to the Netherlands three to four months prior to when you want to travel. You might have to secure your flight tickets even earlier than this if you are visiting for Christmas, New Year or one of the major festivals. Trying to figure out the best time to book your flights to the Netherlands does vary though depending on where exactly you are hoping to visit, Eindhoven for example normally has the cheapest flight tickets on offer, whereas Amsterdam can go from incredibly cheap during the off season to ridiculously expensive when peak season rolls in. Try to be as flexible as you can with your dates and location to find the best offers, and if you’re not too fussed about the weather look at having your trip set for early October time before the rain and cold weather kicks in too much.

45 minute flight delay. Gate agent in Athens had poor communication skills which made the wait more stressful. Updates from Aegean via email were late.
