short-haul fares like this move fast in both directions — booking one to three weeks ahead is the usual sweet spot, and same-day walk-up fares are the worst case. These are booking windows, not rules — fares change constantly, so compare dates in the search above and book when the total, bags included, is right.

The cheapest month depends on the demand calendar at Amsterdam — school holidays, the Christmas–New Year peak and major local events price highest, and shoulder-season months between them price lowest. Rather than trusting a generic answer, open the fare calendar on the search above: it shows real prices for every date this month and next, so the cheap windows are visible immediately.

It depends on your nationality, not on the route — two travellers on the same London → Amsterdam flight can face completely different entry rules. Check the destination country’s official immigration site or your foreign-ministry travel advice for your passport, and do it before booking: some destinations require a visa obtained in advance, others issue visas or waivers on arrival.

Whatever the fare you buy includes — baggage is set by the carrier and fare class, not the route, and the carriers on this pair (British Airways, China Airlines, CityJet, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and others) price bags very differently. Low-cost fares usually include cabin bags only and charge per checked bag; full-service fares typically include at least one. Compare totals with your bags added, because a dearer fare with bags included is often cheaper overall.
