United has round-trip flights from Chicago (ORD) to Amsterdam (AMS) for $477, NONSTOP. Flights October to April. Departures on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Sunday. 7-day minimum stay required.
Carry-on bag is allowed for free.
Note: There are “cheaper” flights on TAP for $314, but those fares require a connection and they charge about +$75 each-way to check a bag. After the fees and dealing with the extra stop, we don’t think those TAP fares are worthwhile. TAP fares are more expensive once you add the extra $150-ish and extra airport downtime to the base price.
SAS and United have round-trip flights from Chicago (ORD) to Amsterdam (AMS) for $373 with a connection on SAS or $477 NONSTOP on United. Flights October to June. Extended weekends available.
Carry on bag with a maximum weight of 18 lbs is allowed for free on SAS. United flights are NONSTOP and allow for a regular weight carry-on bag. You can avoid seat selection fees by accepting the randomly assigned seat at the gate.
Note that TAP has flights available for “$316” but those don’t include a carry-on bag. TAP charges $95! (each-way!) to check a regular sized bag. You should avoid the TAP fares because they will cost more than the NONSTOP UA flight once you add in the fees.

United and Swiss has round-trip flights from Chicago (ORD) to Amsterdam, Zurich, or Reykjavik (AMS, ZRH, KEF) for $425-$450, NONSTOP. Flights September to November. Extended weekends available.
Reykjavik can be found for cheaper if you do a route with connections, but we think the NONSTOP flights are a better value, despite the premium.
KLM, Delta, and Air France have round-trip flights from Los Angeles (LAX) to Amsterdam or Paris (AMS, CDG) for $510-$534, NONSTOP. Flights September to February. Extended weekends available.
The previous deals to Paris and Amsterdam have been a bit cheaper, but those required a connection. We think this an acceptable premium for NONSTOP flights.
