Now you have selected the airline you wish to use for your trip, its simple to book.  All the airline sites work in the same way make your flight bookings.

Go to you selected airline and select the departure airport and the destination airport, which for this project is Amsterdam (Schiphol) then enter the dates of departure from the UK and the date of departure from Amsterdam.  Finally enter the number of passengers that will be included on this booking.  Once all this information is entered, quickly check it is correct, then hit the "find flights" button.

After a few seconds the flight options will appear and the prices will look ridiculously cheap.  This is because you are looking at the base price before all the "taxes & charges" are added which will typically be £38 extra per person on a return flight from the UK to Amsterdam.

Once your flight options become available, select the flight times to suit your budget and lifestyle and then complete all the names of the passengers that will travel in the booking.  Remember to use peoples real names or actual initials as changes to names can be expensive with budget airlines.  As an example don't book the flight for Mr B Smith because you know him as Bill when his real name is William.  It's the name on his passport that really matters and the names entered into the airlines website should be identical to the names on passports.

Budget airlines have heavy fees if you wish to make a name change.  This is because they do not want people buying up large numbers of flights then creating a secondary market, with people selling their seats later at a higher price on auction sites etc.
