Fly to London or Amsterdam?

One day and one night are hardly worth the trouble of flying into London. Just fly to Amsterdam and enjoy it. If work is picking up the tab for the flight, be sure to book w/an airline you fly regularly & maximize your points, if possible.

Plan a separate trip to get your British history fix. British Airways begins direct flights from MSY to LHR in March three or four times a week, so you can go from NOLA to London in 10 hrs w/no connections. Spring RT flights are around $1200-1400.

If you travel for work on a reimbursement basis, get a new travel rewards card w/fat bonus & leverage the work trip into your future London trip.

Joordan great suggestion. Red lite district a must see but i wouldnt wanna stay there. Also need a few days in london to see the sites.

Yep, London is a big city and seeing very much will be a challenge in just 1 day....plus you will be jet lagged. Amsterdam is my favorite euro city. Its very compact and walkable but renting a bike will make it even easier to get around.....if you are confident on a bike. Definitely rent one to ride around Vondel Park and make a stop at the Blue Tea house (Blauwe Theehuis) in the park for a beer and great people watching.

Great place. Was there a few months ago. Ordered a beer at 9:00 am

The park is nice and not too far from the Heineken brewery.

Any credit card with a chip and no foreign exchange fee (Capital One is what I use).

Edit: btw nobody takes discover over there.

I've been both to London and Amsterdam. And I prefer London to any other city. It's more intelligent and beautiful. And why don't you go both to London and Amsterdam?
