London to Germany – £27 return in November, £36 in December

Germany is a great place to be in the lead up to Christmas. Artisan markets, gingerbread houses, spiced pretzels, mulled wine – it’s all there in abundance.

Very much in the spirit of Christmas cheer, Ryanair are flying from London Stansted to Dusseldorf Weeze airport (no, we hadn’t heard of it either) for £26.79 return in November 2014, and £35.73 return in December.

However, Ryanair hasn’t fully shaken off its inner Scrooge. 

“Dusseldorf” Weeze airport is nowhere near Dusseldorf really, in fact it’s nearer Eindhoven. In central Holland. However, Weeze does appear to be quite well connected to Dusseldorf (and elsewhere) by train, and if you’re looking to travel to somewhere in Western Germany or East/Central Holland, then, combined with a hire car or clever use of trains, it could work very well.
