Our tip
Compare not only the ticket price but also consider the departure airport, the flight times, and the travel time to your holiday villa.
A flight from Eindhoven, Weeze, or Charleroi may be cheaper than from Schiphol or Brussels. Also, a ticket to Girona Airport may sometimes be slightly more expensive than to Barcelona, but thanks to the much shorter transfer, you are ultimately faster and often cheaper at your holiday destination.
Consider using a comparison website, such as Skyscanner, to easily compare different airports, airlines, and prices. This way, you often find the best combination of price, travel time, and comfort.
