TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — It will soon be easier to get to Europe from Tampa.
After a nearly five-year absence, Delta Air Lines plans to restart its seasonal nonstop service from Tampa to Amsterdam, the Tampa International Airport announced Friday.
“We’re grateful to Delta for creating a prime European connection through this nonstop service to Amsterdam, which we know will be popular with both Tampa Bay area residents and European travelers looking to experience our sunshine, beaches and other attractions this winter,” Airport CEO Joe Lopano said. “We’re looking forward to supporting the route and continuing a strong partnership with Delta, which always provides a world-class experience for our passengers.”

Beginning Oct. 26 and ending on March 29, 2025, a flight will take off daily between Tampa International and Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport. The busy European hub is home to Dutch airline KLM. This means travelers will be able to continue their journey to more than 100 destinations in the KLM network in Europe and beyond.
“By seamlessly linking Amsterdam’s vibrant international hub-Delta’s most-served airport in Europe-with Tampa Bay’s renowned beaches, Delta is offering customers a gateway to explore the best of Europe and America,” said Matteo Curcio, Delta’s Senior Vice President for Europe, Middle East, Africa, and India. “With our premium amenities and extensive global network, travelers will have a lot to enjoy during the winter travel season.”
The flight from Amsterdam will depart at 12:35 p.m. and land in Tampa at 4:55 p.m. The return flight will depart at 7:55 p.m. and land in Amsterdam at 10:45 a.m. the next day.
The flight will be operated on Delta’s Airbus A330-300, which features 34 business class lie-flat seats, 21 premium economy seats with wider cushions and more legroom, and 2-4-2 seating in the Comfort+ and Economy sections.
Travelers can start booking flights on Delta’s website Saturday, May 4. Ticket prices may vary depending on travel days and how many seats are available.
