Just booked first trip to Austria, to find that sleazyjet only fly out from, or back to, Edinburgh - Munich every second Saturday !!!!!!! So for a week's holiday in February I have to fly out on a Friday to come back Saturday the following week. Trying to arrange a trip in January I have the opposite problem - I can fly out on the Saturday but have to come back either on Friday, or Sunday (and trains back to Munich Airport on the Sunday will, I suspect, be few and far between). No rail timetable out yet for Jan/Feb, so I don't know how much hassle travel is going to be. What are Easyjet playing at ???

deerman, It does sound a bit odd
Have you ever spent a day in Munich? - if not having an 8 day trip and spending one night in Munich could be quite pleasant (a trip to the Hofbrauhaus in the evening can be quite enjoyable)

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

Alastair Pink, Spent a few days there at a time back in the 70s when I had a girlfriend who lived in Munich - including a wild weekend at the Oktoberfest. I've managed to find accommodation at Soll for the 8 days though - rather spend the time on the snow if I can.

deerman, Do any other airline fly that route, and if the outgoing or incoming flights suit, go with one airline and back with the other? I've done that mix-and-match on summer trips but not winter - worth a try?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

deerman, looks like you're flying over a period when they change timetables (whether that's winter to summer, or just a change in general I have no idea) as the flight availability looks completely sensible in January and March.

My thought exactly. I'd have thought that an 8 day trip was a great result.

klm to Munich is better timed (arrive 10.50, depart 6pm)
Currently £175 return inc tax (that fare has you in Munich for 11.55am, departing 6pm). Earlier fligh is now a lot dearer. Where are you going in Austria?
Lufthansa are £160 return at the moment, flight times are not quite as good as KLM
Booking the KLM flights via Air France gives you the 4.15pm return on 22 Jan with the early depature for £176
Right, enough travel agenting, on with the day job

under a new name, Nope - same problem when I try to get flights out on Saturday 8 Jan (OK) and back on Saturday 15 Jan - no flight ! Looking at Jet2 to Salzburg - flight back is OK, but going out gets into Salzburg 19.30, so to get from there to Soll may be a problem. So maybe the answer is to fly out Sleazy, back Jet2.

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

Those dates seem to be more expensive. Edinburgh Munich with KLM is £220 return, but return leg is early doors.
What's wrong with Lufthansa to Munich £168 but with late arrival (7pm) or £185 with early arrival and depart about 3pm?

Yeah, I always actively look for flights departing Friday and returning Sunday the week after!
