Eindhoven is the Netherlands' budget gateway and a Ryanair-and-Wizz stronghold, which makes it a cheap-flight machine — €59 to Fes, €63 to Armenia, and a wall of sub-€80 Morocco and Caucasus fares from the Dutch south.
Eindhoven Airport (EIN) is the Netherlands’ second-busiest airport, just outside the city, and the link is the Airport Shuttle bus (lines 400 and 401) to Eindhoven Centraal Station. Line 400 is the express, running every 15 minutes with one stop, reaching the station in about 20 minutes; line 401 stops at all stops and runs every 10 minutes. The fare is around €4.24, and you can tap on with a contactless card (UK-style) or buy from the driver or machine. From Centraal, you connect to the Dutch rail network — Amsterdam is under 1.5 hours away. Simple, frequent and cheap.
As a base, Eindhoven’s value is its pure low-cost network. Ryanair and Wizz Air between them push Morocco and the Caucasus to rock-bottom prices, giving the southern Netherlands a dependable cheap-escape hub.
Morocco and the Caucasus — rock-bottom
Four fares define cheap Eindhoven, all under €80. Fes (€59) leads — Morocco’s spiritual capital and its medina — with Armenia (Yerevan) at €63 a remarkable price to the Caucasus, Marrakech (€75) opening the souks and the Atlas, and Tangier (€78) reaching the northern gateway and the Strait of Gibraltar. These are pure impulse fares: a couple of hours from the Netherlands to North African sun or Caucasus mountains, for less than a night out.
Turkey and the Atlantic
The board stretches a little further. Izmir (€174) reaches Turkey’s relaxed Aegean third city, and Boa Vista (€252 with a bag) opens Cabo Verde — a mid-Atlantic beach island with year-round warmth, luggage included. These are the longer escapes beyond the cheap short-hauls, but still well-priced for the distance and a welcome dose of guaranteed sun from the often-grey Dutch south.
Why Eindhoven is so cheap
Eindhoven’s whole identity is low-cost: it’s the Netherlands’ designated budget gateway, where Ryanair, Wizz Air and Transavia base aircraft and keep fares aggressively low. For travellers in the southern Netherlands (and northern Belgium), it’s often dramatically cheaper than flying from Amsterdam Schiphol — and the rail link means Schiphol’s destinations are still within easy reach if Eindhoven doesn’t fly there. For the routes it does serve, few airports beat it on price.
Bag fares: the budget tell
The split is pure low-cost. Only Boa Vista includes a checked bag. The cheap short-hauls — Fes, Armenia, Marrakech, Tangier and Izmir — are shown as base fares, cabin-only Ryanair/Wizz tickets where a bag costs extra. On the sub-€80 fares especially, a gate-bought bag can rival the ticket price, so decide your luggage needs and add the allowance when you book, not at the gate.
