"Frankfurt airport Is probably your worst choice. Although there are lots of international flights, the train connection to Maastricht is poor. There is a 1 stopover train via Utrecht which takes 5:21 and a 3 stopover journey that takes 4:25" According the DB, the 3-connection ride is actually 3:35, but yeah, the scenic route via Utrecht is 5:21. But you can also go via: Frankfurt(M) Flughafen Fernbf Su, 26.07.09 dep 13:43 Fern 7 Liege-Guillemins Su, 26.07.09 arr 15:42 Liege-Guillemins Su, 26.07.09 dep 16:21 Maastricht Su, 26.07.09 arr 16:50 4b That's ONE change and 3:07 from Frankfurt. And the departure is late enough in the day that you could do it the same day after flying in to FRA. I am not pushing for FRA as the arrival point, just pointing out that it's no worse than Amsterdam and there are of course lots of flights to FRA from all over the world as you say. Ole Ole J.
