Is anyone actually considering going to that one? I've just been pricing it up for me and three mates, reckon it's about a £600-700 trip. Fly out Thursday and back late on Sunday.
They've given us a pretty small allocation from the looks of things which is understandable.
Just want to gauge how many people are considering it before deciding if it's worth the money! |  | | |  |

Sounds about right. I looked at flights, Thurs - Sat £300 out of Gatwick, plus accommodation and Austria prices you're probably talking £600 - £700 per head for a small group.
Will swerve it personally, I would like to visit Innsbruck but a little rich for me for me right now. |  | | |

Have you tried flights from London City Airport? Friend recently did a long weekend and his flights to Geneva (return) were £120*
*Not sure if he booked them well in advance |  | | |

Fly to Memmingen or Munich from Stansted, then take the train, | | | |

Much better option. More enjoyable, approx same price (£300 out, £250 back based on a quick check). Plus much smaller carbon footprint- 0.3 tonnes to fly, 0.01 tonnes by train, so 30x worse flying. |  |

3 X “ worse “ flying, not 30. ( according to your numbers ) | | | |

0.01 x 3 = 0.03
0.01 x 30 = 0.3
I don't think he's the poster with the suspect maths | |

Flying to/from Munich should make the financial side look more palatable — then it's a simple train journey. | |

Fair - I’ve misread the extra 0 after the point there. 😂 | | | |

Living just south of Munich and 1.5hrs drive from Innsbruck I will be going.
For you info since easyJet pulled out of Stansted you can't fly to Munich directly.
However you can go with Ryanair to Memmingen (Munich west - same as Stansted being in London) but getting from there to Innsbruck could be tricky, maybe hire care best option and still about a 2hr drive. |  | | |

I’d understand if it was much cheaper but how can that train be more enjoyable than flying?
Surely flying is a no brainer. | | | |

Looks like you can get a bus directly from Memmingen Airport to Munich bus station and the journey's about 90 minutes.
Or get a bus into Memmingen and get the train to Munich, about the same journey time. |  | | |

I would pick train every time if the price is even close. Much more relaxed, and doesn't necessarily take that much longer once you factor in getting to the airport & waiting around. No baggage limitations, no liquids restrictions. | | | |

Yeah fair enough.
It was mentioned that it was a sleeper train. I couldn’t imagine the train being particularly luxurious so was thinking surely it’s easier to take a 2 hour flight as opposed to sleeping on a train. Each to their own. With these short breaks I never think about liquid allowance as I don’t take any. Would just be a rucksack job. Few beers at the airport and job done! | | | |

I did Munich to Ipswich by train a couple of years ago. Left my hotel about 0830, changed in Cologne & Brussels & London, got home 9pm. Flying would have been maybe 3 hours quicker for that trip, using public transport to & from airports. For that trip, train was around £50 cheaper end-to-end. Train was utterly relaxing, other than the overcrowding & half hour delay between London & Ipswich. | | | |

Yeah both possible to Munich but that's the wrong direction. Munich is still 2hrs from Innsbruck!
Memmingen to Munich 90 mins +2hrs or so to Innsbruck
Memmingen to Innsbruck by train 3.2hrs | | | |
