Time difference against Mexico City. In July, Amsterdam runs 8 h ahead of the Mexican capital (UTC+2 versus UTC−6). In January the airport operates on UTC+1, so the gap is not constant across the year: daylight saving shifts it. This is the calculation that decides whether a pre-booked ground connection still works.
Base of KLM. An airline basing here means aircraft and crews overnighting at the airport: more of its own services to rebook a disrupted passenger onto, and more early departures. The flip side is that at an airport dominated by one carrier the competitive pressure on fares is weaker than where several compete.
What each code is for. The IATA code (AMS) is what the bag tag and the ticket use; the ICAO code (EHAM) is what flight plans, NOTAMs and flight trackers use. To follow the inbound aircraft that will become your flight, ICAO is the one that returns reliable results. And if AMS is not printed on your bag tag, the bag was not checked through to here — worth catching at the counter.
Airlines at AMS
2 catalogued airlines operate routes to or from AMS: 2 full-service and 0 low-cost, with checked allowance from 23 to 25 kg. Alliances present: SkyTeam. They cover 1 catalogued routes and 7 weekly departures. The table below lists each operator with its type, alliance and checked allowance.
Carriers in our catalogue operating routes to or from this airport, with type, alliance and economy baggage allowance:

| Aeromexico (AM) | full-service | SkyTeam | 25 kg |
Departing AMS triggers EU261 for everyone. Sitting in the EU/EEA, any flight taking off from this airport is covered by Regulation EC 261/2004 whatever the operator’s nationality: a Mexican carrier leaving here answers exactly as a European one does. The asymmetry runs the other way — flying from Mexico into AMS only enters the regulation if a Community carrier operates it.
2 kg separate the most generous operator from the leanest at AMS. That gap is what reorders prices once the bag is in: a cheaper base fare on a carrier with no included baggage can land above a full-service one the moment you check a single piece. Compare the total, not the headline figure.

What traffic AMS moves. By route type, the routes listed here split as: Mexico-Europe corridor (VFR and Camino) (1). That mix explains the airport’s seasonality: family corridors spike in December and Holy Week, leisure ones follow the holiday calendar, and regional ones stay flatter across the year.
Why some rows have no fare. A dash means the automated query got no result for that pair when this page was prepared — not that the route is suspended or expensive. For those pairs the reference price comes from the live search, which queries current inventory.
Connection tips
AMS concentrates 7 catalogued weekly departures across 2 airlines, in the Europe/Amsterdam zone. That density is what decides how much slack to leave on a connection: the more of its own services the airline runs here, the more same-day rebooking options exist.
Amsterdam Airport Schiphol runs on the Europe/Amsterdam time zone; factor the offset from your origin city when planning connections and transfers. The busiest route at AMS is MEX-AMS (~7 flights a week). Book 4–8 weeks ahead for the busiest routes to/from Amsterdam; fares climb in December, Holy Week and summer. Each route guide above shows month-by-month seasonality and the lowest peso fare. That window is a general Mexican-market rule of thumb, not a measurement of this route: our series records observed prices, not the lead time at which each ticket was bought.
The cheap connection that loses the checked bag. Two separate tickets are not one itinerary: there is no interline agreement, the bag is not checked through to the final destination, and if the first flight lands late the second airline owes you nothing — it sold a different flight. The apparent saving evaporates the moment you buy a same-day replacement. On a single ticket, rebooking and the bag transfer are the carrier’s problem, not yours.
