The return leg is shorter, averaging 7 hours and 20 minutes, due to prevailing winds. Connecting itineraries generally take 11 to 14 hours depending on the layover.", "methodology": "Carrier service, flight times and distances for this route come from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI).

The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time, given both per carrier and across all carriers on the route; where a schedule does not publish an elapsed time, it is derived from the scheduled departure and arrival times converted to UTC. Outbound and return times are computed by the same method, so the difference between them is directly comparable and reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in derivation.

Public buses, such as the Amsterdam Express (line 397) and night bus N97, also serve the airport and are a good alternative, especially for areas not directly on the rail line.
