Roughly 5,570 miles separate Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS), so a nonstop spends about 11h40 in the air, a little more or less depending on winds and direction. Nonstop award space in the data comes from a single airline: KLM. Nonstops make up only about 2% of the award options in the data; the rest connect.
Los Angeles–Amsterdam is a long-haul trip, so cabin choice shapes the whole booking. Saving points means connecting: the economy floor connects once, and an economy nonstop on KLM costs more. The data doesn't include taxes on the cheapest economy seat, so confirm the cash portion at checkout. The middle step, premium economy, costs about 2.2 times economy; business costs about 6 times. That floor books through GOL Smiles, so it suits miles you already hold; if you'd be moving bank points, price a transfer partner first.
GOL Smiles takes economy at 9,500 points. Virgin Atlantic Flying Club is cheapest in premium economy at 20,500 points. SAS EuroBonus wins business class at 60,000 points. Alaska Atmos Rewards lists first class from 70,000 points, but the fare connects, which usually means first on one leg only; read every segment. Of the other 11, United MileagePlus, American AAdvantage, and Avianca LifeMiles are worth a look too.
KLM is the only airline with nonstop award space on Los Angeles–Amsterdam in the data, and its SkyTeam membership opens that nonstop to partner programs beyond Air France-KLM Flying Blue. If you're open to a stop, the better-priced connecting awards in the data run through London, San Francisco, and Paris. The economy floor is a partner award: GOL Smiles sells American Airlines seats. Award seats here come from 36 airlines, so compare several programs before transferring points.
Check the departure code before moving points; Los Angeles awards can also start at Burbank (BUR), Ontario (ONT), or Orange County (SNA). Worth comparing at last check: Atlanta to Amsterdam from 9,500 points and Los Angeles to Athens from 29,500.
