Re: anyone who has been to london, have you
you can do it in a day, the flight is 1 hr 13 minutes from London. However factoring in check in times and getting to the airport, that would be another sort of 3/4 hours in the day, so I don't know if it would be worth it. If you could do it and stay overnight 1 night, you would be better off.

We went overnight. We used a jumper flight out of Gatwick. I believe it left at 1300. It arrived in Amsterdam at 1420, and once we went through customs & got our stamp & got out of the airport it was about 1500. We stayed one night in a budget/tourist hotel (one step up from a hostel) and did "Amsterdam things." It was a blast, but I totally could have stayed another day. We went mid-week.

Re: anyone who has been to london, have you
you could do it, but as stated above the travelling times to the airport and then to amsterdam centraal from the airport take time.
also a lot of flights on the budget airlines to amsterdam leave from luton or stansted. i have gone to amsterdam a few times from london and i would rather stay a few days- at least 2.

If I remember correctly it took longer than 3 hours to get to Amsterdam by Ferry, but it was a while ago so I don't remember exactly how long. I took a bus to Dover, then the Ferry ride and then bus ride to Amsterdam. It doesn't seem realistic to me to do it for a day trip.

Agreed. It was definitely longer than a three hour ferry ride. The flight should be pretty short. Could you fly into or out of Amsterdam from NY instead? That will save you a few hours in the airport.
