How long is the flight?
A direct Amsterdam–Curaçao flight takes roughly 9.5 to 10 hours. Flight patterns and possible stops can vary by day and season, so always check the actual itinerary before paying.
When does a flight-only ticket make sense?
Flight-only is useful when you have booked your own apartment or villa, want to combine several accommodations, or plan a longer stay. Compare the total cost including checked baggage, seat selection and other extras.
TUI fly to Curaçao
TUI fly operates Curaçao services with the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and sells both flight-only tickets and holidays combining flight and accommodation. Check exactly what your fare includes, especially when travelling with children, diving gear or several suitcases.

KLM, TUI fly or Corendon: what should you compare?
The best option changes by date. Compare like for like: the same baggage allowance, similar seat options and the actual departure and arrival times.
- Baggage: check whether hold luggage is included.
- Seat: extra legroom can be worthwhile on a flight of almost ten hours.
- Stop: check both outbound and return itineraries.
- Children: reserve seats together early if that matters to you.
- Arrival: arrange your transfer or rental car before you land.
Time difference
Curaçao uses Atlantic Standard Time and does not change its clocks. The difference with the Netherlands is normally five hours in Dutch winter and six in Dutch summer.
Hand luggage
Keep medication, one light outfit, swimwear, chargers and key travel documents in your cabin bag. A thin jumper is useful on a cool aircraft.
After landing at Hato
Curaçao International Airport lies northwest of Willemstad. Save your accommodation address offline and check whether your rental car is collected at the terminal or via shuttle.
