Amsterdam is one of the UK's most popular short-haul trips, and there are plenty of flights from many UK airports. The major full-service carriers are British Airways, KLM and BMI while some no-frill carriers offer sometimes dirt cheap prices: easyJet, Thomsonfly, British European and BMIbaby. Prices vary tremendously depending on your airport of departure, too.
