 Poster: A snowHead
|
Good morning - Is anyone travelling on the BA flight rom Heathrow that gets in at 1515 on 9th March (BA0682). We will miss the afternoon shuttle, and the next one isn't until 17.45. Looking at booking a private transfer, but it's 190 euros, and there is only the 2 of us. If anyone is in the same situation as us, and would like to share a private transfer, then we would be delighted to share  I've also been told that we cold go to a Crystal rep and ask to get on one of their transfer coaches (they have a flight that arrives 30 mins after we do). Has anyone done this? Thank you x

@mcphail, I can recommend the various public transport options. Have a look at http://fahrplan.oebb.at/bin/query.exe/en for options. If you have a smartphone then search for the OBB app.
I used the bus to get to and from Hinterglemm in December. In January (Snowy day on the 5th) I used a combination of bus and train to get to Hinterglemm without the difficulties experienced by many - arrived one time!
I'll be doing this again in March

That's a great link, thanks very much. Do you know if the bus to Maishofen is late, do they delay the bus to Shattberg? I've visions of been stranded in Maishofen for a few hours if we miss the connection! Cheers

as far as connections go austrian bus and train s run like clockwork , Im not 100% sure but think there is a bus called the night bus that runs until late you could download the times from the saalbach website ,failing that a taxi from maishofen station isnt too bad and would deliver you to your accomodation door and they are outside the train station or could be sorted with a call to your hotel

@mcphail, we’ve never actually taken the bus from Salzburg airport to Saalbach - we intended to in December, but, owing to a cock-up on my part, ended up having to fly to Munich.
However, from what I’ve heard, the bus service can be recommended. It leaves from outside the terminal (times on www.oebb.at) and costs about 14 euros. Although you have to change at Maishofen, it’s coordinated, so that one bus doesn’t leave until the other arrives (the drivers talk to each other), and you only have to walk a few yards from one bus to the other - at least that’s what I’ve previously read on this forum from people who have regularly done it.
Much may depend on the timings and whether it works out better than waiting for the next shuttle.
