New York City is one of those destinations that never goes out of style. And with SAS Scandinavian Airlines offering round-trip flights from Amsterdam (AMS) to New York (JFK/EWR) for just €512, the Big Apple has never been more accessible from the Netherlands.
What makes this deal even sweeter? SAS operates via Copenhagen — and you can actually take a free stopover in the Danish capital, effectively turning a transatlantic trip into a two-city adventure.

🇩🇰 The Copenhagen Stopover Bonus
SAS offers a free stopover program in Copenhagen — you can spend up to 7 days exploring Denmark’s capital before continuing to New York, at no extra airfare cost. That’s two world-class cities for the price of one transatlantic ticket.
- Why Copenhagen? — World’s best restaurant Noma, Tivoli Gardens, colorful Nyhavn, and world-class design museums
- How to add a stopover — Book using the multi-city search on Aviasales: AMS → CPH (dates), CPH → NYC (dates)
- September is ideal — Mild weather, fewer tourists than summer, and Copenhagen’s food festival season
🗽 New York Must-Sees for First-Timers
- Central Park — Free, massive, and breathtaking in September
- The High Line — An elevated park built on old rail tracks in Chelsea
- Brooklyn Bridge walk — From Manhattan to Brooklyn with skyline views (free)
- Museums — The Met (pay-what-you-wish for NY residents, but worth full price)
