Other airports in the Netherlands include:
Amsterdam - is the biggest airport for the Netherlands, and is the entry point for most air-borne travellers. Schiphol is approximately 3 hours from Maastricht by train.
Eindhoven - is about an hour and a half from Maastricht, and mainly serves discount and charter airlines.
Rotterdam - is another Dutch airport, located about 2.5 hours from Maastricht.
Due to Maastricht's proximity to the Belgian border, some visitors prefer to use Belgian airports:
Brussels - , another Belgian airport, is the second largest airport (after Schiphol) within 2 hours distance of Maastricht, and is another decent option for arriving by plane. A journey to Brussels is slightly under 2 hours by train, which to some people makes the airport a more attractive option than Schiphol.
Charleroi - is Brussels' second major airport, also within train distance to Maastricht, and mainly caters to discount airlines (notably Ryanair).
Liege Bierset - is located in Belgium, about a half hour from Maastricht.
