Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Question- Fly to Munich and Transit to Austria

 Poster: A snowHead

Hi,
Looking at Austria for a few days before Christmas. There’s easyJet flights into Innsbruck but just thinking worst case, if those get cancelled, what hoops do we need to jump through to transit via Munich? My wife and I are both vaxxed and we have an 8 year old. From what I read, we don’t need to do anything for Germany because we’d be transiting, just proof of vaccinations. Is that correct?
Thanks a lot!

If your flight gets diverted to Munich dont worry, as two things.

Firstly EJ are responsible to getting you to Innsbruck so they will transport you.
Secondly, which we have done in the past, caught the train from Munich because its quicker, for us in Kirchberg, to be bussed practically passed our valley, to just return again.

But most importantly, the regs for flying into both are the same, so dont worry.

@marcs44, as it currently stands you do indeed only need proof of vaccination and wear FFP2 masks. The train journey is a doddle and you can even check times and buy tickets on Trainline.com.

I used to work in Salzburg but fly into Munich (much more flights into Munich from Manchester than anywhere else in Austria). The drive is real easy and pleasant even in winter, if you're planning on renting a vehicle. The train is even easier. It's barely worth taking up EJ on their obligation of onward travel unless you truly want to be crammed into a bus or something!

Be advised, there is a road checkpoint on the border of Austria and Germany and it has been turned into a manual checkpoint for every vehicle, in both directions, with officials checking papers, many times during my time working in that area. In the migrant crisis in 2018 and during the start of the COVID pandemic (when I was again working there) they did instate the manual checking of all vehicles - so keep your papers close by.

The entry regulations for Germany have an exemption for those who are transiting through the country. So no need to fill in pre-arrival forms etc for Germany
