Flying Houston to Amsterdam covers about 5,000 miles, linking George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) with Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS); a nonstop takes roughly 10h30, with winds moving it either way. KLM and United Airlines both carry nonstop award space in the data. Aircraft logged on those nonstops include the Boeing 787-9, Boeing 767-300, and Boeing 787-10. Nonstops make up only about 3% of the award options in the data; the rest connect.
On a long-haul trip like Houston–Amsterdam, pick the cabin before the program. The cheapest economy seat is a partner award on a KLM nonstop, so the lowest price is also the quickest trip. Watch the cash: about $162 in taxes and fees, well above the route's typical economy taxes, so more points and less cash can win. Stepping up costs about double the economy points for premium economy and about 3.7 times for business.
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club takes economy at 15,000 points on a KLM nonstop. Air France-KLM Flying Blue is cheapest in premium economy at 30,000 points on a KLM nonstop. Alaska Atmos Rewards wins business class at 55,000 points. First class starts at 80,000 points through Air Canada Aeroplan on a connecting itinerary, often first on one leg only, so confirm the cabin on each flight.
On points, Houston–Amsterdam has nonstop seats from KLM (SkyTeam) and United Airlines (Star Alliance), which puts partner programs from both alliances in play for a nonstop. If you're open to a stop, the better-priced connecting awards in the data run through Paris, London, and Washington. Partner pricing sets the business-class floor: Alaska Atmos Rewards books British Airways as a oneworld partner, and no program prices British Airways lower in that cabin at last check.
