We are trying to visit Prague, Budapest, Vienna. Right now we can use frequent flyer points (Delta), business class, and get to Frankfurt (from Dallas). Yet, I don't know if it is feasible to visit these cities from there. Considered renting a car, train, air is high. Is this impossible, or does anyone have a suggestion?

For those who have travelled to any of the three of these cities--what was your connection, or did you fly directly there? Sounds simple, but it has beome a nightmare--thanks for any advice!

Hi bbj,

When are you going?

http://www.onetravel.com/ is offering Frankfurt/Prague - Budapest/Frankfurt for $286 in March.

We will be traveling at the end of May; thanks for your help.

We ended up taking the train from Frankfurt to Prague - and it was very inexpensive - even in first class - don;t remember the details - but I remember thinking it was cheaper than from NYC to DC on Amtrak.

As you say, you can cons8Ider trains, so I looked them up. The reference library of a city hear you may have the Thomas Cook European Rail Timetable. The January issue shows second class one way fares and daytime journey lengths thus
Frankfurt to Prague 72 euros 8 hours
Prague to Budapest 101 euros 7 hours
Budapest to Vienna 35 euros 3 hours
Vienna to Frankfurt 100 euros 7 ½ hours

Day trips that take 7 to 8 hours are paralleled by night trains that take 8 to 9 hours. You need a sleeper, at a supplement of 45 euros in a three-berth compartment, 100 euros in a two berth compartment, or 120 in a single.

Let the train take the strain. Ben Haines - you are a star.
