Salzburg or Linz in Austria. Not good options but the closest. Better off going with Luftansa or Aer Lingus are there more direct.

They're a disaster!

There's very little difference between Ryanair and Aer Lingus nowadays.
If you are flying from Dublin - then Aer Lingus direct or Ryanair to Salzburg are your options.

I was trying to see what way I could bend the Ryanair free fight offers in my favour for Septemeber...

Hey,
I know this is off topic but i was checking flights to munich for October fest with Aerlingus. No problem with the flights (cheap enough) the only think was the accomadation was E200 pp per night.
Anyone find an easier way to book acc for that festival?

By the way - i think you're mad if you don't fly direct. Ryanair fly to rural airports.

Are hostels all booked out or you're not into that?

As for the original topic, I really would go with Aer Lingus. If you want to get a free flight, then go somewhere else. Trains in Germany are either very fast and very expensive (in which case, are you really making a saving) or very cheap and very slow and you have to change loads of times (if you're travelling on weekend ticket or Bavaria ticket for example) and that's half your holiday gone.

I can't bring the woman to a Hostel :eek:
I might as well bring her on holidays to Courtown as that.
Its bad enough she's letting me take her away to a romantic weekend to a Beer festival - but a Hostel :eek: I'd be shot.

That's fair enough. I've no suggestions for you then. I guess you'll just have to fork out!

folkface, you will have to pay over the odds because it is a festival but you certainly can get cheaper than e200 pp per night. i was over in munich for the world cup last year and it was the same story. here are a few sites that will save you a few bob:

www.bookings.net and type in munich and you cheapest double bed. you can get a double from about 450 for 3 nights which is a lot cheaper than the above. don't book anything too far out though especiallt near the airport as it is a good 45 minute train journey away. that said public transport is cheap, quick and plentiful.

i stayed on the a and o hostel and hotel. don't worry there is a separate hotel section. it was nice and cheap but the service was great and you even get a balcony. however the place is also a hostel so you might want to avoid it for the reason but it is as good as a hotel. try http://www.asiarooms.com/germany/munich/a_and_o_city_hostel.html
if you are interested. rooms are 127e per night for a double.

also www.travelres.com is worth checking out

good luck with the search

You could have just flown to somewhere else in Germany(as far down as possible towards Munich) and then get a train. the train system in those countries is unbelievable, makes a journey seem so effortless.

Folkface, use the aer lingus hotel booking thing if your look for offers. My parents use that, and they are very good. For example, they were going to Munich, used that hotel thing, got a hotel nearly beside the main train station, a 4 star hotel, for very cheap(cant remember price, might have been €40 pps). On the hotels own website, the exact same room was about 5 times more expensive. I've heard that to be the case with other places aswell, so I'd recomment the aer lingus hotel booking thing.

Yeah, Oktoberfest is a blast, you'll enjoy it. The website bookings.net that fitzgese gave you is very good, I used it for the World Cup also.
