hi all what to fly to Maastricht in July, am midlands base so can go from Liverpool, Birmingham ,manchester or any of the London airports but cant find anyone that flies there , so may need to fly to somewhere that's close by but have no idea where ?

Fly Easy jet from Liverpool to Amsterdam.
I know there is a Maastricht express train from Centraal station in Amsterdam - don't know if they go direct from airport.

You can only fly direct from London Stansted, with Ryanair, so you'll either have to travel to Stansted this end or travel from Amsterdam to Maastricht the other end.

Alternatively, Eurostar are starting an Amsterdam direct service early next year, you could train from London to Amsterdam then train down to Maastricht

Also remember that Maastricht shares its airport with Aachen in Germany, so you may want to search for that instead - IIRC, Ryanair does its Aachen flights from Stanstead.

Its also not far from Eindhoven, which is also served via Stanstead.

But trains are excellent in the Netherlands, so a flight to Schipol, then train to Maastricht may still be the better way.

*smurfy*

Like others have said fly to Aachen not Amsterdam as that is the other end of Holland your spend far too much time traveling.Even getting eurotrain to Brussels then train to Maastrict its only just over an hour by car from Brussels so train must be about the same?

Maastricht is a charming city. I highly recommend it. Just gorgeous.

I have no help for OP, sorry. But flew from Dublin direct in December.
Eindhoven is not too far either, if that helps. Maastricht/Aachen is the same airport.
