At about 4,870 miles from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS), a nonstop runs roughly 10h15, give or take with the winds. Delta carries all of the nonstop award space in the data. Less than 1% of the award options in the data are nonstop, so most results connect.
On a long-haul trip like Seattle–Amsterdam, pick the cabin before the program. The cheapest economy seat connects once; skipping the connection means an economy nonstop on Delta at a higher price. Watch the cash on the economy floor: about $182 in taxes and fees, well above the route's typical economy taxes, so more points and less cash can win. Premium economy runs about 2.3 times the economy price and business about 3.7 times.
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club wins economy at 15,000 points. Alaska Atmos Rewards takes premium economy at 35,000 points and business class at 55,000. Its first-class fare from 70,000 points connects, which usually means first on one leg only; read every segment. The other 10 programs include Air Canada Aeroplan, United MileagePlus, and American AAdvantage. Economy and premium economy also price as partner awards, with one airline's miles buying another airline's seat.
Delta is the only airline with nonstop award space on Seattle–Amsterdam in the data, and its SkyTeam membership opens that nonstop to partner programs beyond Delta SkyMiles. The cheaper connecting awards in the data change planes in Frankfurt, Paris, and London. The business-class floor is a oneworld partner award: Alaska Atmos Rewards prices British Airways seats.
Confirm the departure airport before transferring points, because Seattle awards can also leave from Everett's Paine Field (PAE). Atlanta to Amsterdam is tracked too, from 9,500 points at last check. Seattle has no cheaper long-haul route tracked; Athens is next, from 30,000 points.
