Just Bought Round trip tickets to Munich Now how do I get to Venice from there ??
Got a great deal on round trip tickets to Munich for half the price of San Fracisco to Venice. Now I need to find out the best way to get to Venice from Munich.
The flight arrives in Munich at 12:35 p.m. on May 8, Tuesday.
which airline. I'm going to check whichbudget.com. How much time should I allow for flights ?
Would the train take too long ?
Thanks, hope I haven't made a mistake..

www.bahn.de and look for the International Visitors link to get English. Hightly efficient but not too user-friendly site.
There is an overnight train, but that might be too much for your first jet-lagged night in Europe.
I think Hapag is the only airline on the route and they don't fly it on may 8th, so you could spend a day in Munich or get used to the idea of the train.

Thanks to all,
I checked the orbitz site and I was able to cancel for the cost of their service charge of $21.98 !!! You can cancel within 24 hours.
No more cheap flights with connections for me. I've learned my lesson.
thanks again

Kayak.com is your friend.
may 8th fares from $116 US on Lufthansa - that one is too early for you but they have a 5:10 pm flight for $157 US (arrive at 6:25 pm)
these are return ticket prices. ( I used May 15th as return- not knowing your plans)
Not free but not too expensive I would think and not a lot more than the train option listed above and a 3:30 pm departure on the train may be tight.
I know that you have cancelled but thought that others may search and not realize that this do-able.
Have a great time in Venice

I would have taken the opportunity to see Munich for a couple days and then headed to Venice. Sometimes you find really great stuff visiting a city you hadn't planned on. And the train ride looks spectacular.

If you book now!!!!!, one way to Venice on the 9th will cost you 40€ on tuifly.com. Hapagfly no longer exists, they merged with HLX into tuifly. I went to Venice last weekend, flight was 39.98€ roundtrip. Muc-VCE took 7 hours!!. Delay, plus fog, so we landed in Bologna, from there we were put on a bus. However I arrived. 7 hours instead of 40min...
