Cheap flights from London to Bruges from £50

When seeking flights to Bruges from London, there are two destination airports in Belgium that service the city. Brussels (BRU), which is around 59 miles from Bruges and Ostend Bruges International Airport (OST), which is 15 miles from Bruges. Direct flights from London tend to fly to Brussels. The more indirect routes bring you that bit closer to Bruges via Ostend but there is a lot less choice from London. You can find indirect flights to Brussels from London Heathrow (LHR), London City (LCY) and London Gatwick (LGW). Brussels Airport is a very large international airport with excellent amenities and fast transport connections to Bruges. Ostend Bruges Airport (OST) is largely an air-freight destination but is increasingly used by passenger flights and at certain times of year by charter flights to the region. There’s no train station at Ostend Airport but you can take a bus to Bruges. A third option would be to fly to Charleroi Airport, which is 96 miles from Bruges. This might suit you best if you plan to hire a car.
