We do a fair amount of searching around to get an idea of the best deals on international air tickets and it isn’t very often when Amsterdam comes to the top of the list. The Dutch city is a popular tourist destination, of course, but unlike London it doesn’t see its share of super, duper bargain flight deals from the United States.

United Airlines is bucking the trend by offering up a tremendous package on flights and hotel stays in Amsterdam. Package deals are not always everyone’s cup of tea because you don’t have much say about which hotels you get to stay in, but in this instance forget your hesitation and go for it. The deal is for a round-trip flight and a four-night stay in Amsterdam. The $629 price tag from New York is what you would usually find for just the flight alone. The deal extends to the west coast where you can get the same offer from Portland, LA, Seattle and San Francisco for about $800. This is one Amsterdam package that is hard to beat and when you through in an additional 2,500 United Miles it is enough to make me want to book a flight before I even finish typing this sent…
