h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

let's hope

and let's hope that I'll soon find out how the ÖBB homepage works, I just can't find out how much the ticket costs

That's difficult with international tickets, you may have to work it out until the border and then continue with bahn.de. It might be cheaper to fly!

you think so? hm. I don't know. I'll find out, there's still time to search.

I could look it up under bahn.de, maybe some special tickets could be on offer.

Have a look here : http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/dn?ld=212.55&seqnr=5&ident=dd.01724013.1123432325&selectedTariffId=108&outConId=C1-0&retConId=C2-2&orderSOP=yes&showAvail=yes&

That's the cheapest I could find.

I know it costs about 75€ for 300 km to my mother's, so maybe it would be cheaper - if you find an airport in the same Verkehrsverbund as your destination, the ticket for the rest of the way is usually cheaper.

thanks, please try

I'll search a bit more on the ÖBB page, it's a bit difficult, I can't even find trains before 17:30, but it's impossible that there are none I think

oh, sorry, too slow

hmm... I've got to find out how much influence my Vorteilscard has

And don't forget the Lidl railway tickets, I wonder whether they go to Austria?

They only suggest the Bahncard or railplus - if you have any of them ? Why don't you go to the next station tomorrow and ask them ? They should know.

ha! that's difficult, usually they don't know anything at the station, but I'll try

thanks for searching

It's one of life's little challenges to encourage railway personnell to know things. Builds character.

You're welcome

What's the internet address for austria, btw ?

http://www.oebb.at

(Österreichische Bundesbahn)

yes, a nice little challenge

Austria has more than one But i think the ending is .at

Try having a look in the hitchhiking sites - most of them have international routes as well, and it would be near the end of vacations.

I'll do

Probably the way I'll travel too - very fitting!
