This low-cost option is aimed at attracting super-saver travellers who still want to experience all that Amsterdam has to offer this summer, whilst only loosening the purse strings.

The price includes hand luggage, but not paid-for seating or additional hold luggage.

All return flights take place within 48 hours.

A spokesman for Southend Airport said: "Exploring the Dutch capital doesn’t have to break the bank, and London Southend suggests purchasing the Amsterdam City Pass to access top attractions and public transport; or a free walking tour; seeking out unconventional accommodation like canal boats, hiring bikes and enjoying the city’s famous street food."

Interested travellers are encouraged to book their flights as soon as possible. For more information or to book your flights, visit the airport website.
