 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello Peeps,
my wife has kindly offered to let me go on an intense off-piste training week in January next year, but the problem is I don't know the most effective way to get to Innsbruck from the sunny NE. I don't really want to have to go to Manchester, Edinburgh is a bit of a push in fact. And hiring a car to get to Lizum from Salzburg or Munich is a bit much. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Al

KLM (and others) fly to IBK via Amsterdam or Frankfurt from many regional airports - I used to do it regularly from Aberdeen (how north east are you?).

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

Try Austrian via Vienna. We are going that route (from Manchester though). Not sure where else they currently fly from in North UK. Whereabouts are you?

Jet2 to Salzburg from Leeds/Bradford every Saturday in January. About £120 return. Trolleybus/taxi in to Salzburg railway station takes 15 minutes. Hourly train departures Salzburg - Innsbruck, journey time just under 2 hours. Depends where you are though. Leeds probably OK for NE England. Not good if NE means Aberdeen, in which case look at Jet2 Edinburgh-Salzburg, also every Saturday in January.

@SkierAl, train or hire car from MUC to Innsbruck, Lufthansa MAN/ MUC. Jet2 Salzburg overpriced and poor times.

Yeah, sorry, I meant NE England, what's actually worse is I am Scottish, I just live down here. The charterflights website looks good, but it's expensive. I need to decide if it's all worth it.
Thanks guys

If we want to fly directly to Innsbruck we usually take a train down from Newcastle, doing evening check in at Gatwick (Easyjet and some other airlines do that) and get on an early morning flight out.

@schneeflocke, That looks a lot slower and more expensive than simply changing planes in Frankfurt or Schiphol

Detail: It's not KLM but Transavia that flies from Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Eindhoven to Innsbruck! (sometimes it is not so bad to be Dutch  )
But although Transavia is KLM's low cost carrier, we will be flying with KLM from Amsterdam to Zurich at 134 euro this coming winter, whilst Transavia to Innsbruck comes to 450 euro.....

@SkierAl, phone TUI as they do flight only to Innsbruck from various U.K. Airports. It is not on the website though.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Thomson Airways has a charter flight from Newcastle on Saturdays, according to the Innsbruck airport website (see Innsbruck charters). Maybe you can get on that.
