Lindau Travel Forum

my son is working in Lindau this summer. He is flying from the UK. Which major airport is the easiest, quickest and cheapest to travel from to Lindau - Munich? Zurich? Frankfurt?
many thanks

Friedrichshafen and Memmingen are the closest airports, serviced by budget airlines. If he flies with a big airline Munich, Zürich and Stuttgart would be fine, they all have good train connections to Lindau.

With budget airlines:
Bodensee Airport, Friedrichshafen (FDH)

Allgäu Airport, Memmingen (FMM)
http://www.allgaeu-airport.de/

by distance: Friedrichshafen, Zürich, Memmingen, Stuttgart, Munich
by price:
Friedrichshafen (EUR 5,10 - some direct trains exist)
Memmingen ~ EUR 20
Stuttgart EUR 19 (Baden-Württemberg Ticket Single - only regional trains) *)
Munich EUR 20 (Bavaria Ticket Single - only regional trains) *)
Zürich Airport (EUR 25,00 - some direct trains exist)

*) Not much of a disadvantage on either route. Both tickets are day tickets, but on weekdays only valid past 9am.

Thank you - he has chosen to fly to Munich then on by train to Lindau
