Flights to Amsterdam could be in high demand towards the end of April ahead of the city's Queen's Day celebrations.
On 30 April every year, the Dutch capital hosts a massive public party to mark the birthday of the Queen of the Netherlands and promote a sense of national togetherness.
The tradition began on 31 August 1885 and was changed to 30 April in 1949 to celebrate the birthday of Queen Juliana, keeping that date ever since.
