Does anyone know where I can get a cheap flight from either Düsseldorf or Cologne to Birmingham or East Midlands airport?

I have so far looked on: British Airways, Easy Jet, Lufthansa, and Germanwings

Also are there any trains at all that go directly from NRW, Germany to Midlands, UK?
Klaus
hey,

have you tried using skyscanner?

I know hapag lloyd express fly from cologne.

trains, tough one...you'd need to get to belgium, pick up eurostar, then get across london, then up to Brum...nightmare !
Easier to drive to holland, ferry to harwich ! or calais of course.

Also have a look on the relevant airport site, Birmingham Airport destination map, East Midlands airport.
EasyJet fly EMA to Cologne.
There's also bmibaby from Brussels if you wouldn't mind getting the Thalsys first.

You will be lucky getting a cheap flight to Eastmids me and my fella tried and couldnt find any.

However if you flew from Cologne to Liverpool with easy jet i have heard its very cheap.
Klaus
whereas LGW to Köln is cheap as chips !!

have you tried nottingham?
or stanstead and train to NEC?

personally, I've bought 10 tickets from eurostar = 339quid = 34 per single, takes me 3 hours to calais then just over 1 hour to Brighton!...doesn't help you though sad.gif sorry chap.
