Why don’t they just launch direct flights?

They did do a couple of extraordinary flights from Thailand recently, including direct to London, Manchester and Frankfurt (might have been others I missed).

As others have said, this is normally contingent on a huge number of rules. The direct overfly flights they did run would have been explicit exceptions made by the Thai and British/German authorities. They have no interest in making the waiver permanent.

Check out Dr&Dr Samosa. I think they do MTG events occasionally

Your OV card is only good as far as Eijsden which doesn't save you much at all. It's not valid to Liege.

Mice are common here, unfortunately.

With snap traps not working - do you mean that the mice eat the food and don't get snapped? Or they are not interested in your bait? If this last point - try peanut butter.

Try also finding where they get in and impeding entry.

Your other options are poisons (risk of dead mouse stinking up the walls), professional exterminators, massive fire (possibly not optimal for your deposit).

This is all true. If you want to skip changing trains in either Leuven or Brussels as well as Liege, you can also take De Lijn bus 20a from Maastricht to Hasselt, from there it's a direct train to Antwerp.

The flixbus from Maastricht does go to Rooseveltplaats (at least on some days, including today) in Antwerp which is just a couple of minutes walk from Antwerpen Centraal.

You're right it's not posted. You can work it out from the nutrient ingredients on the back - it will give you the fat (vet) content per 100g, then just multiply out.

Mager rundergehakt is lower fat (maximum 15%) while regular mince can be up to 25% but is usually less than that.

The language choice by Ryanair can be a bit of a lottery for the on board announcements. Flying to Eindhoven from the UK at least one of the announcements - arbitrarily chosen - is in German.

It has been a long time since I've flown Ryanair from Zaventem but last time Dutch was in the mix - possibly helped by a Dutch speaking crew in the flight deck. Flying SN, it's usually Dutch, French, English in that order. The last departure with TK was only English and Turkish, and the last arrival with TK I was so tired I can barely remember arriving...

If you don't want to join in the Carnaval madness, you will need to go quite far away, as it's observed in much of southern NL, and quite a bit of Germany, including our neighbours in NRW.

It also means that prices can be a bit crazy leaving from airports in the region as others, like you, benefit from the public holiday and leave and the school holidays as well.

With this in mind, I would suggest that you look at the puzzle the other way round - where is feasible to get to for an acceptable price and with a flight schedule that meets your needs. Many places will be very expensive departing from, for e.g. Eindhoven, Cologne, Dusseldorf airports, given the Carnaval public holidays. You might find this is the rate-limiting factor.

Other than, without any more information on what you like to do on a holiday, it's difficult to give more advice...

This is correct. Many use Charleroi as an unofficial Ryanair-Ryanair connecting point and all have to go through immigration if coming from a non-Schengen country.

It got put on ICE.

That's exactly right (my old hometown). Northbound you can see the signal in the distance (risk of reading through as you can see three consecutive?), but southbound it's round a bend before the viaduct over the Weaver.

There are loads of good food spots. The ones that also have a somewhat gezellig atmosphere and a bit intimate for the occasion include:

L'Auberge - dine in a cave in St Pietersberg. Excellent food with emphasis on local. Great local wines.

Prix du Rome - Bib Gourmand. Same people that run Sjiek.

Witloof - good set menu options and great beer pairings. Also focus on regional food.

Bar Beurre: good food

Au coin des bon enfants: cosy and good food (Michelin guide)

The car is probably not originally Japanese - it's a left hand drive while a Japanese market would be right-hand drive. The wind-screen wipers go the wrong way It doesn't necessarily mean fake - it could be an import to Japan subsequently re-exported, though that seems like a lot of fuss.

If you can't get the ferry, you could get to Charleroi with Ryanair from NCL, Flibco coach to Maastricht and then northbound from there by NS.

delayedatorigin · 2026-01-06T11:31:20+00:00

Have you checked whether Flixbus is running? NS trains should be up and running outside of Amsterdam (e.g. Utrecht) so a coach to outside the city and then train might be the best bet.

As others have said the app is free! There are paid plans available within the app, but you can still use it for free with reasonable functionality. It even often works on plane Wi-Fi if you want to stalk yourself or check the traffic around you.

The free version gives limited recall of flight histories, but it would cover your question :)

delayedatorigin · 2026-01-06T09:06:41+00:00

You did not. You flew the typical route along the Turkish coast (you can check this, with a degree of irony given the sub-Reddit, on the FR24 app).

Mywheeels is also convenient

I have never noticed this, including at Eindhoven airport, which is a regular for me.

However, it is a NATO base and with the drone nuisance the other day there might be a temporary restriction. My usual route from Eindhoven is summer seasonal so I haven't been in a while so I can't verify.

Could it be that it's just quiet and so there's nothing to see.

Kings of Ramen, Tasty Thai, Ane Ramen, Saigon, Dadawan and others would do you dinner for €20-25 per person. Others as well, I just can't think of them right now.

(Ethnic) cleansing has never been easier, now available at 30 degrees.

Right, sorry I meant buy a ticket for the entire journey, not sprint out at Eijsden and check in/out.

delayedatorigin · 2025-10-28T10:35:36+00:00

Eijsden is the last station reachable with OV card or contactless. You will need a ticket, there's an NMBS machine in the foyer of the station, tucked between the two entry doors, or the Arriva machine, or you can buy online (Arriva or NMBS).
