All of the flights are so expensive for such a short trip. The major airlines are $475+. The four main discount european airlines don't offer the route. I'm interested in the train, but I can not find any information in English about it. I'd like to know how much time it is b/t the cities. Could someone please help me. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Amsterdam. Sorry. I'm exhausted trying to figure this out.

On Friday and Saturday nights, and every night beginning April 7, there's a direct train leaving 20:13 and arriving 10:15. Other nights require a change in Dresden in the morning and take about 1/2 hour longer, or else go during the day and change in Berlin, about 12 1/2 hours altogether.

Reagan,<BR><BR>I was looking at flying from Amsterdan to Vienna. One way (cheapest) was going to cost Approx AUD600.00...My TA suggested a return ticket that was going to cost less than the one way, about AUD400.00.<BR>Decided to fly with KLM. They include a return trip within Europe as part of the return cost from Australia.

I was able to get a direct ticket from Amsterdam to Prague for about US$280 round-trip. It is a special rate but if you spend more than 5 days in Prague, you should be able to get it from Czech air too.

As for the night train that leaves Amsterdam @ 20:13, can anyone tell me WHERE to purchase advance tickets for this? I figured since it was a night train (with sleeper cars) it make book up more quickly. My time frame is the end of April. I tried looking at Eurorail online but had no luck. Thanks!

If you really want to buy in advance, try www.euraide.de; if you'll have a few days in Europe before your train trip, and your train isn't on a weekend night, you can probably wait till you get there to buy your ticket.

Is there a train that leaves from Prague to Amsterdam as well? If so, what are the times it leaves at?

jahoulih

Yes, beginning April 6; not on April 12, 13, May 4, 5, 25 or June 8. It leaves 18:26 and arrives 8:50.

I leave Monday for Prague via Amsterdam. I had a coupon deal on Northwest from my home city to Amsterdam and bought a separate ticket round-trip AMS-Prague. I think the flight has a KLM number, but is operated by Czech Airlines. The cost was $239.05. I can't remember now where I found the train schedules and prices, but the price for the train was over $200. For the small difference in price, I decided to fly. Good luck! Boots
