Ryanair

Hi

Im going to Munich in a couple of weeks and I am flying with Ryanair. Can anyone tell me how far out of the city is the airport that Ryanair flies into? Is there a train I can get into the city? How long would the journey take and also if there is a car hire firm in this airport?

thanks!

Ryanair doesn%26#39;t fly to Munich! it can be either Memmingem or Salzburg - both are 1,5-2hrs away. For trains have a look at db.de

|||

no idea about db.de, but %26quot;www.bahn.de%26quot; will work. It has English- tab at top.

I think you%26#39;ll be flying into Memmingen, which is a bit like terming Cork as Dublin South.

It does have facilities but %26quot;primitive%26quot; is a good word for it.

Mostlikely this is the Allgäu Airport in Memmingen, as Rynair sells this airport as Munich West.

Charbyrne, since you were able to book with Ryanair maybe you could have checked the destination page on their website, it says the following:

Memmingen Airport is a small public airport located in the town of Memmingerberg in close proximity to the city of Memmingen, Germany, in the Swabia region. It is one of three commercial airports in Bavaria and the has the highest elevation of all of Germany%26#39;s commercial airports. Prior to 2008-09-25, it was known as Allgäu Airport/Memmingen.

Located about 2.5 km from the city centre of Memmingen and 100 km from the city centre of Munich, it not only serves Memmingen and the Allgäu area but also provides a low-cost alternative to Munich Airport.

As for car hire, Hertz, Avis and Sixt are on site.

*chuckles* ryanair is great isnt it... cheap flights to the middle of nowhere... on very hard and very small seats... at least by the time you arrive in Munich you will be nice n thirsty... if you take the train to munich make haste to the Augustiner and quench your thirst while thinking of all the money you saved by flying with the great ryanair... Prost! :)

alabada... memmingen is %26#39;munich west%26#39;??? crikey... is salzburg %26#39;munich east%26#39;? cheeky calling memmingen %26#39;munich%26#39;... good for ryanair, crap for tourists...

At least Memmingen is west of Munich. And it%26#39;s closer to Munich than Hahn is to Frankfurt.

Memmingen airport is approx. 2,5 times more distant from Munich than Munich Airport. While Hahn is 10 times more distant from Frankfurt than Frankfurt Airport.

Similar problem with other Ryanair airports like Barcelona (Reus) or Oslo (Torp).

not only Munich West, but Stuttgart South. And Salzburg is Wien Nord and Praha Sud.

Just kidding! ( I think)
