Stay updated with current fare trends for the Paris-Amsterdam corridor:
Savings Tip: For 2026 travel, Tuesday, April 28 is currently flagged as one of the cheapest upcoming dates. Booking your tickets 6 to 8 weeks in advance is the "sweet spot" for securing the lowest fares on this route.
Important: Security protocols for international travelers are evolving in late 2026.
Starting in the last quarter of 2026, travelers from visa-exempt non-EU countries (such as the US, UK, Canada, and Australia) must obtain an ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) before flying to Amsterdam.
KLM and Air France are the primary carriers offering non-stop direct flights between Paris (CDG) and Amsterdam (AMS) in 2026.
A direct flight takes approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Charles de Gaulle (CDG) is the main hub for direct flights to Amsterdam. However, some seasonal budget flights may operate from Orly (ORY).
The Eurostar (formerly Thalys) train takes about 3 hours and 20 minutes city-center to city-center. While the flight is faster (1h 20m), the train is often more convenient as it avoids airport security and travel time to CDG.
June and January currently offer the most competitive rates, while April is the most expensive due to the peak tulip tourism season.
The NS Train is the fastest and most frequent option, taking just 15–20 minutes to reach Amsterdam Central Station. Taxis and the Amsterdam Airport Express bus (Line 397) are also available.
