Oh, OK. Perhaps it's an old air force base, like Frankfurt Hahn? We 
always fly from D?sseldorf Rhein-Ruhr, a.k.a. D?sseldorf International. 
Within a few minutes, you're on the BAB52 (motorway) and there's an 
S-Bahn (suburban railway) to the town centre.

Incidentally, I'll be in D?sseldorf on Thursday, but ironically I'll be 
flying to Frankfurt to spend the least possible time from home, because 
even more ironically, my parents arrived yesterday - from D?sseldorf 
International.

Weird thing, that, travelling. But I can recommend D?sseldorf over 
Schiphol to anyone in the eastern Netherlands. Quite big, but not too 
big, and contrary to Schiphol, it doesn't take ages for your luggage to 
show up. You're also not walking for miles as you do at Schiphol.

What was truly weird, though, when we arrived at Schiphol earlier this 
year, that there was not passport check. The Schengen Treaty at work...
