 Poster: A snowHead
|
Quick question for those in the know with some local knowledge.
6 of us are using the train to get from Munich to Kufstein on a Wednesday afternoon, plane lands at 13.40 getting the 15.52 from Munchen Ost hopefully, and returning on the following Sunday on the 13.01 train.
Now......
I intended to use the great value Bayern ticket for these journeys (they are regional train times) as it comes in at just over €10 pp each way but I'm slightly concerned if these will be peak times and we'll struggle to get seats?
Will we be ok or should I forego some beer tokens and stump up for reserved seats?

How are you getting to Munchen Ost? The train ticket will be the same price from the Airport. It will also print out journey platforms and connection times.
That's not peak times, so wouldn't worry yourself.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Cheers jafa,
Using the S-bahn. I was going to order them online but it would probably be easier getting the bayern ticket from a machine at the airport station. Although the website is excellent the ID requirement thing makes purchase a bit of a faff.

For a couple of euros extra get it at the counter from a human being. As I sais earlier, this prints out all the timetable for you and which platforms you need to be on. This is very useful for the last change at Rosenheim as there is only a few minutes between arriving and departing.

 The bahn.com website says Munich Airport > Munchen Ost then Munchen Ost > Kufstein with no other changes?

Im sure it will be correct, just that every time ive done the journey theres been a change at Rosenheim.
Im sure other people will come on here and confirm, but that may be for the direct intercity type trains, which are more expensive. The Bayern ticket uses more local trains.
For what its worth, I cant see the 15.52 train on the Bahn.com web site

I know, it's weird, if you start form Munich airport > Kufstein it doesn't give the option unless you muck around with the "transfer times" option but Munchen Ost > Kufstein it shows up no problem.

Thought there was a local Meridian/BOB train direct from Hbf/OstBhf to Kufstein, as well as the longer distance Munich-Innsbruck EC trains.
edit: and I'm sure someone will be along to confirm if Kufstein or Kiefersfelden is classified as the boundary for a Bayern ticket.

andy, Kufstein is OK for a Bayern ticket as far as I have been told and seen on the websites. The two places are so close anyway, only the river separates them. The guard will tell you when he checks the tickets.

I always buy from a human being at the airport- but then again I get terrible train paranoia

During the week/Saturday you will get a through train to Kufstein. Coming back on Sunday you will probably have to change at Rosenheim.

andy, Samerberg Sue, Definitely on the Bayern ticket, It;s the recommended choice when you plan a trip on the DB Bhan website.
It was more to make sure we get seats as I can't be bothered standing for and hour on the train lol
Thanks everyone for the info!
