Looking for Flights Birmingham or East Midlands - Dusseldorf (Weeze)

Hi i am trying to find flights from Birmingham or East Midlands - Dusseldorf (Weeze). Used to go on ryanair but they stopped going on that route as of last week.

My end destination is Brussels (Belgium) but from what I found, its too expensive flying there so always chose Dusseldorf.

Does anyone know of any cheap airlines for less than £120 typically travelling friday - sunday?

Thanks

    Have you considered the train via St Pancras http://www.eastmidlandstrains.co.uk/YourDestinations/Eurostar/Pages/EurostarDestinations.aspx

    Look at Lufthansa, SN Brussels airlines and Flybe websites

    that would take far too long and too expensive considering i am only going for three days.

    as i said; going to brussels direct is too expensive that's why i am looking for cheap alternative to ryanair airline that go to dusseldorf.

    Leicester to Brussels by train is about 4 hours.

    £120 sounds a reasonable budget. LH are currently selling Birmingham - Düsseldorf (DUS) for £ 89 return with availability on most days.

    That said, getting from Weeze (or DUS) to Brussels can't be exactly free - ? And it's going to take the best part of two hours at least, certainly worth bearing in mind if you're only going for a weekend?

    I've just run BHX - BRU through Expedia for May 27-29 and it comes up with £ 107.60 on BMI, i.e. well within your budget. Alternatively, £124 on SN Brussels website for same route & dates. Do a bit of your own digging and you might find something even cheaper.

    How do you propose to get from Weeze to Brussels? That could well take 4hr on its own if using public transport. There are trains from Schiphol (Amsterdam airport) direct to Brussels although they're not that fast, but that's another option. Personally I would always try to take the train as it will be more pleasant and faster door-to-door if you're going to Brussels itself.
