Cheap flights from Birmingham to Dusseldorf

December and the Christmas run-up are the costly end of the year.

School holidays and the destination's summer push fares up again, while June is the cheapest month in the data; if your dates are flexible, work back from the peak months towards early summer, and remember that midweek departures are often cheaper than weekend ones.

Eurowings, Aer Lingus, Air France, Cityjet, Edelweiss Air, Helvetic Airways, KLM Cityhopper, Lufthansa, Scandinavian Airlines and Vueling Airlines all appear on this route. Some flights are nonstop and others connect through hubs, so compare total travel time as well as price; some fares are sold as bare seats with bags and seats extra, while others include more, so read the fare rules before you book.

Trains, buses and taxis all run from Dusseldorf International Airport into the city, while Weeze Airport needs a longer transfer and is the out-of-town option. Check which airport your ticket names before you travel, and allow extra time if you land at Weeze; the two airports are not interchangeable once you are on the ground.
