 Poster: A snowHead

I'm sure Easyjet used to do a flight out of the Northwest to Innsbruck?
All I can see on their routeplanner is Bristol or London Gatwick to Innsbruck.
Does anyone know if this route been discontinued?

It operated up to 19th April. It doesn't appear to be on the Winter 15/16 schedule so it looks as though it's been axed.

The last time I flew to Innsbruck we changed in Frankfurt. IIRC the price was very reasnoble and the wait in the airport was far less than a drive to the south coast

Flights from the North to Austria are very limited. A real shame.

Manchester to Innsbruck with Monarch is still running, there is also Birmingham to Salzburg with them too. Shame East Midlands doesn't seem to have any flights to Austria.

It's winter only, and that's a real shame because it's a fantastic airport for summer trips to the Dolomites. I'm amazed it's not worth their while running it all year.
For summer trips to the area I tend to use Munich if I can't get an Innsbruck flight and then take the train. Trains are pretty quick and if you book in advance you can get very good deals (if you're going to Austria the oebb.at site seems to have better deals than the bahn.de site).

@sah, mainly the other way round in my experience - the Länder Deals on Deutsche Bahn have saved me hundreds of Euros - you only need a start or finish point outside of Germany. I use the train now for longer journeys, 79 Euro to Vienna and back in the ICE trains was a superb deal. Trans-Alpine routes also pretty good as well. Sadly the fast trains to Prague are being upgraded so I'd have to travel by bus at the moment but the prices are amazing!
You need to look for the Spar-Karten on the DB site!

You could also get a flight to Verona and then get the train/bus to the Dolomites. We've flown home from verona after a Dolomites trip before and it is a fast and straight forward journey. Also there is a cheap airport shuttle bus that you can catch from Verona station.
Shame you cant get a direct flight to Bolzano from the UK anymore. This would improve the transfer time to the Dolomites significantly
At least in the future the journey from Innsbruck to Italy via Brenner will be a lot quicker once they finish the new rail tunnel!!

@jimmybog, Which airport do you have to change at to fly to Verona and on what airline? I am looking to go to the Dolomites this summer and the only sensible options appear to fly to Innsbruck changing at Frankfurt or direct to Venice with Monarch (which, sadly has a very early return departure time)
The only problem I see with the Innsbruck route is that you get stuck behind that bane of travelling in the Italian mountans - the very slow camper van.
