 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
I live in Ireland and am trying to plan a ski trip to Austria for next season. So flying from either Dublin or Belfast. I would like to put together my own trip rather than booking a package to see if I can get better value. Problem is I can't seem to find any scheduled flights from Dublin/Belfast to Salzburg/Innsbruck! Am I missing something or are there just no scheduled flights? Help appreciated.

If you get the 7.00 am DUB-MUN flight, you will have time to transfer from the airport to many resorts by train for approx €19 each way (booking well enough in advance at www.dbahn.de or www.oebb.at), although if you do use the train you need to travel home on a day that Aer Lingus has a late flight (20.45), unless you are staying close enough to Munich to make an 11.00 am flight home. Check the timetables at www.aerlingus.ie for the dates you are thinking of.

billybob, Lufthansa also fly to Munich (via Frankfurt) from Dublin. Also if you have your own skis note that they carry skis for free.

The train is a hell of a lot cheaper than most other transfers or hiring a car. You can easily get to Innsbruck, Garmisch, Seefeld from Munich. Mayrhofen, Kitzbuhl, Zell am Zee and many others are served by the railway as well, but I don't have any experience of train travel to them.
Zurich down to Meiringen was interesting and fun (though done in the summer).

billybob, Dublin - Munich or Dublin - Memmingen. I think Micky O' is running this route. Very simple arranging DIY trips out of Dublin! We can even do it out of Cork!! 
Good luck and let us know how you get on with your plans!

Not sure if it's an option for you, but foot passenger to Liverpool on the high speed catamaran, then fly from Liverpool? Opens up your airport option by quite a margin.
