Hello fellow rockers!

I have never been to Rock am Ring or Germany for more than a day. Can't wait to stay there for a longer period of time

I need to travel to the airport on monday 9th of june, monday, and I have to be there latest 05.30 in the morning. Do you know if there is bus or train heading for the airport or close to the city? I know there is a airport express bus from Bonn central station, see link.

many thanks in advance

Hi,

I don't think there is any way to get there by bus or train at 5.30 in the morning. Especially because the monday is official holiday in germany. So you will have to leave on sunday evening.

There is a airport shuttlebus:

Nürburgring D10 - Köln Hbf / Köln-Bonn Flughafen / Bonn Hbf
Sonntag, 08.06.2014: 18.00 Uhr & 21.00 Uhr

You should plan with a 3/4h walk from the mainstage to D10.

With the following prices:

Ab Flughafen Köln/Bonn: € 25,00 one way (€ 45,00 two ways)

You need a reservation to take this bus. Here are the details.

Yeah, you have to take the airport express to Bonn. I was at this airport once, and it is reallly small one

Then you have to take the train to Koblenz HBF.
bahn.de
you can look at this internetpage, which train you wann take. You can also buy a ticket their, but it is not neccessary. Also the most of the camping sites will open their doors on wednesday.

In Koblenz their will be a shuttelbus to Rock am RIng.

Have fun at Rar
Where do you come from?

Thank you for quick replies!

I actually have to be at the airport around 05.30, so I need to go around 04.00 or something? So I will leave sunday evening from Rar and go to Bonn.

DaHero: Nice, I will put in a reservation for the shuttlebus from Rar to the airport then I'll just have to wait at the airport for some hours but that's ok I guess!

Edit: oh, I will miss quite some bands if I leave 21:00 sunday.. Thats a bummer... What do you think it would cost for taxi from Rar to Bonn? 70 euros?

Up to 150€ I guess. I have to pay 15€ for 10km at midnight, but it's about 100km to the airport.

I´d expect a bit more, like 180€. Is there any chance for you to switch to another flight?

Oh... I'm not sure, its economy class with Air Berlin, I would guess that I can't, that's the normal policy in norway at least.

Edit: it's class N, so I guess I can re-schedule it.

Maybe you can find a better flight. In my opinion that would be the easiest / most convenient solution. Did you book your flight directly via air-berlin?

where are you headed to from cgn?

crazyhorses

Yes I'm trying to get to the air berlin service center, but the line is horrible, I'll try rebook the flight tomorrow. Then I can go to Berlin 16:55 instead

Yes 1 hour with flight from Bonn. I can see there is a rebooking fee of 70 euros for short haul and 120 euros for long haul. And back to Norway will be a long haul I guess, so it's probably the best just to go with taxi, if it's around 180 euros. I still have to pay to get to Bonn if I change the flight, so it adds up to even I think.

Edit: me and my buddy are going with taxi from the hotel to Rar every day, do you think we could make a agreement with a taxi driver that we go with him every day and maybe I can get a cheaper taxi to the airport?

I made this agreement every year. A transfer to the airport should also be no problem then. But it always depends on the driver.

a few friends of mine are leaving sunday after the last band. if you want to i can ask them if they can give you a lift to the airport. it just depends how much stuff you're bringing with you.

By flying with Air Berlin (ECO) the stuff should be small and tiny..
Flight luggage = 1 suitcase a 23 kg max.
With a status or extra opion he could be upgrade to 3 suitcases a 32 kg max.

I can ask the hotel, good tip getalife: cool! I think a backpacker bag (80 liters) and a smaller bag that I can carry on the plane. I would of course pay them for the trip.
