Weight limits are generally between 15 and 23 kilo. Your airline will also be able tell you what time before the flight you will have to check in. Generally, this will be between 40 minutes or one hour for some inter-European flights to two or three hours for intercontinental flights.

Amsterdam airport

The most convenient airport to fly on for a trip to Amsterdam is Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, a major international hub situated only twenty minutes by train from the city. With low cost carriers, you might find good tickets for the airports of Rotterdam (1 hour by train from Amsterdam) or Eindhoven (1 hour and 20 minutes). However, there is a risk that the lower costs are already countered by the costs of the train tickets to get to Amsterdam. At the website of the Dutch railways, www.ns.nl, you’ll be able to check these costs.
