Flights to Amsterdam from Granada for just 44 euros: lowest dates and prices

In Amsterdam , among many other things, there are: the Jordaan district, the Rijksmuseum, Dam Square, the canals, which can and should be explored by boat, the ever-present bikes, which can and should be rented, the house where Anne Frank lived, and, why not add, the red-light district and the coffee shops.

Granada has, among many other things, the following: the Alhambra, the Generalife, the Albaicín neighborhood, the Realejo neighborhood, the cathedral, the Monastery of San Jerónimo, the Cartuja Monastery, and, if you have time, the opportunity to visit the Sierra Nevada.

In other words: both cities have charms all around, in addition to a well-established tourist infrastructure , a local population generally receptive to visitors—though be careful not to invade a bike lane there—and a size that allows for easy cycling. Amsterdam is larger, but Granada has more hills to make up for it.

Given all of the above, it would be fitting that Granada and Amsterdam were well connected. As it turns out, they are. Since September 30, 2024, Transavia has been operating a direct route with two weekly connections, on Mondays and Fridays. Planes departing from Schiphol depart at 4:20 p.m., and those departing from Federico García Lorca at 8:00 p.m. The estimated flight duration is two hours and 55 minutes.

For those traveling from Spain to the Netherlands , that means arriving at their destination around 11 p.m., and until they reach their hotel, apartment, or whatever, they won't have much time to do anything. But they still have three days left, which is enough time to see at least the essentials. With the help of a bike, it must be emphasized, the journeys are shorter. And there are plenty of places to park it: every tree or traffic sign is a good place to lock it.

The aircraft operating these flights is a Boeing 737-800 with a capacity for 200 passengers. Both the airline and the Granada Provincial Council, which led the administrative negotiations, estimate that there could be an annual transit of 15,000 passengers .

How much does it cost to travel between Granada and Amsterdam or vice versa? Well, that depends on several factors, but above all on how far in advance you purchase your tickets. You can see deals online for as little as 44 euros , but that's the only thing that jumps out at you; you always have to look a little further.

For example, Edreams, which primarily acts as an intermediary between airlines—which makes it difficult to refund tickets in case of problems, by the way—states on its website that the connection can be made "from" 52 euros . This nuance is important because the initial price is not the same as the final price after adding various other fees.

An example of all the above can be found on the Transavia website, which advertises "cheap flights." If you plan to travel immediately—that is, leaving Granada on Tuesday, September 9th and returning on Friday, September 12th—the price per person is 335. However, if you plan further in advance, for February, the price drops to 297 .

As with all flights, the destination doesn't matter; the important thing is to be good at using the internet, choosing the most convenient time to make your purchase, and being patient. Some people, with these three qualities, have found round-trip flights for 89 euros , although others admit that the most common price is around 320 euros. And if they're ordered for special dates, such as the long weekends in October, November, or December, they'll be somewhat more expensive. So, all I can add is one more wish: good luck with your fishing.
