nearest airport?

Hi can you tell me what is the nearest airport?

Im planning a trip for the in laws and know nothing on the area!!

Would it be Brussels? If so how far is it? How much in a cab?

Thank you!

Brussels airport - BRU: I would against going to CRL, which Ryanair calls %26quot;Brussels South%26quot;, as it is in Charleroi, an hour away on the opposite side of Brussels.

From BRU you would normally go to Brugge by train, from the station below the airport but you have to change at Brussels (Nord, Central or Midi in that order - central is reputed to be the easiest to change at), from where it takes an hour on IC trains bound for Oostende or Knokke/Blankenberge.

I guess a taxi would cost you more than €100.

To answer your question: the nearest airport is %26#39;ostend-bruges airport%26#39; www.ost.aero (approx.20 miles from Bruges)

but...there are no u.k. flights anymore.

Brussels airport is the best option for you.

I think there are direct flights from Newcastle towards Brussels (BMI/Brussels Airlines).

Have a nice stay in Bruges!

Surely your in-laws are meeting you at the airport?

What ever happened to hospitality? :-)

|||

Surely it%26#39;s the in-laws that are travelling? Trip is being planned FOR, not TO the in-laws!

I assumed %26quot;airport that receives flights from the UK%26quot;, I must admit.

You are probably right (as ever) qaminari!

So, are the in-laws living in the UK, and travelling to Bruges?
