I'll be on the bus to Freising, train from Freising to Passau

No S-Bahn from airport to Freising ?

No. The S1 splits up. One half to Freising the other half to the
airport. So you could use the S-Bahn towards city until the S-Bahn gets
rejoined and change direction to Freising. But that's just nonsense. Bus
is more comfortable and faster.

Only if I detour to München first, which is pretty silly as it's the
opposite direction to Passau.

Really interesting reading, banter and tangents folks! Especially since I've observed but never posted before. If you have 1-2 minutes to spare, I've put together a little survey monkey questionnaire to capture people's thoughts on European train booking. A couple of others and I are trying to build software that will make the process altogether quicker and smoother and really appreciate all input from others who take the train on the continent.

It's over he

Thanks!

You only have to detour as far as Neufahrn - two stops. Bus is still
better, though.

Only if you're lucky.

Munich? I meant Nuremburg/Regensburg.

Bratwusrst? Yum!

Erilar has a direct flight from the USA to Munich Airport, which is
almost Nurenburg ( Munich)

I missed the bit where she said she was coming from.

For some strange reason I thought she was in Berlin. Duh!

Berlin would be a different trip. I've been there on other trips. This one
is Donau exploration 8-) I fly from and to Chicago in any case; my
daughter lives north of Chicago and she and/or her husband get me to and
from the airport.

Particularly better than an extra change!
