What is the Cheapest way for a college student to go to Amesterdam from the US?

Have a look at http://www.expedia.com you can find flights from any airport that are direct (usually much more expensive) or flights that have 1 or 2 transfer stops, and these will usually be cheaper.

You are not looking at the right sites. I would suggest buying your tickets from Student Universe or STA Travel. You can definetly fly for much cheaper than that if you go to these sites. These sites offer discount airfare to college students. I spent a semester abroad in the Netherlands and I bought my ticket from Student Universe and my boyfriend bought his off of STA Travel. If you don't feel safe buying your ticket online, STA Travel has stores in New York if you would rather buy them in person. At the time, I flew in Brussels, Belgium and took a train into Amsterdam because it was way cheaper, but I just checked on the Student Universe website and it was about $474 to go to NY to Amsterdam and around the same to go into NY to Brussels. Oh yeah and another tip. You might want to consider flying in the middle of the week. It might be cheaper than compared to flying on a Friday or Saturday.

wow, why is it so expensive to fly from NY to A'dam when it's only around 300 round trip from A'dam to NY??? there must be flights that are way much cheaper than 1100, i am sure of that, just keep browsing the internet, i don'[t know if Ryan air flies from NY, but you can try KLM, Transavia those are airlines that usually have desent prices, go straight to their site. good luck, i hope you can make it to amsterdam, it's worth the trip for a college student

You can get a ticket for seriously WAY cheaper than $1100 or even $800! Here is a site, it's in Dutch though, where you can get SUPER cheap tickets. I looked one up for you, if you were to travel from 03/01 to 03/15 your return ticket from NY to Amsterdam flying with KLM would be $458.93 with taxes. The site is pretty easy to navigate without knowing dutch so just give it a try. http://vliegtarieven.nl/ ANOTHER site with almost equally as cheap prices (and in english) is... http://www.cheapflights.com/ Good luck with your search and hope you have a great holiday!

You should consider flying out of other nearby NYC area airports. Flying out of Newark may be slightly cheaper than flying out of JFK. Also, Newark is Continental's hub on the east coast and I know Continental has lots of nonstop flights to Amsterdam. You might want to consider breaking up the trip into 2 flight segments. I would recommend trying to fly to Paris or Rome, and then going on to Amsterdam. Try orbitz.com for flights - enter in 2 different flight searches.

You don't tell us from where in the US, it can make a huge difference! That is way too much, I go every year from Boston for around $800.
