Amsterdam is one the most beloved and whimsical cities in Europe, and it’s not hard to understand why.

If you’re considering traveling to Amsterdam, whether to explore this cultural and creative capital of the Netherlands or for business purposes, the most efficient and comfortable way to get there is by renting a private jet.
In this article, I’ll give you comprehensive information on how to reach Amsterdam from each of London’s biggest airports, plus go over the prices, specific planes, airports, and their FBOs.

London to Amsterdam Airports
Taking off from London, there are five airports whose FBOs may be able to host your flight to Amsterdam. Those are Luton, Heathrow, Biggin Hill, Farnborough, and Stansted.
Each of these airports is located in the city’s outskirts, so you should count on a car ride as well to take you to the desired airport.
The arrival to Amsterdam, however, is much simpler, as there’s only one airport that collaborates with FBOs, and that’s the Schiphol airport.
The price for a jet to take you from London to Amsterdam starts at 4,600 EUR or 3,900 GBP, and ends at around 12,100 EUR or 10,350 GBP, depending on the jet’s size, the staff, and the requested services. Of course, this price is for the whole jet, so it will be split among the passengers.
In the following paragraphs, we’ll list the planes you can take from different airports in London by size, along with the maximum number of passengers, expected flight times, and prices.
The prices listed below are estimated before taxes and fees payment.
London Luton to Amsterdam
For a short flight such as this one, plane size and type don’t play a major role in flight speed. The average flight time is only 55 minutes, and depending on the size of the jet, it can vary from 45 minutes to 1 hour and 5 minutes.
London Luton airport hosts all four basic types of planes. The cheapest option is to fly with a turboprop, which can take up to 19 passengers, flies for 1 full hour, and costs 4,650 EUR or 3,950 GBP.
Next in line is the light jet, which is more intimate with its 5-9 passenger capacity. Its flying time is a bit shorter, only 50 minutes, and the price is 5,650 GBP or 6,650 EUR.
A midsize jet can take one additional passenger, as its maximum capacity is 10 people on board. Flying time is 45 minutes and costs 12,550 EUR or 10,650 GBP.
Finally, the heavy jet, which can take up to 96 passengers, flies for 50 minutes and its estimated cost is 10,150 GBP or 11,950 EUR.
