Not sure I understand the posting from ULF. Looks like you were
searching for flights into Domodedovo, but the script is not in English. |

The question in my original posting was how much time to allow for swapping plans in Munich if I chose the two RT ticket approach becuase two round trip tickets appears to be less expensive than a multi-city ticket (MSP-MUC-SVO-MSP). Is there anything that you've found that contradicts this? If I can save $1000 to fly back to Munich and change planes, it seems worth it to me. Do you disagree? I don't. However, no time can be given to make the connection 100 % sure. Regards, ULF |

That's a pretty large expense, if in comparison, I have to get a hotel room for one night in Munich (or some other city in transit). Does anyone know of other options to reduce the cost? I've been searching via Travelocty, Orbitz, Expedia, Cheap Tickets and individual airline carriers (NWA, United, British Airways, Delta, Americam, US Airways, Icelandair, Swissair, Luftsana, and SAS) You can fly to Moscow VKO from Stuttgart for 90 euros (could be higher or lower, cost for a random flight in June) one way plus taxes and fees. Downtown Stuttgart to downtown Munich is a little over 2 hours by train. Delta also flies into Stuttgart from Atlanta if that helps. George |

What I found searching over the weekend (about 6 hours worth of hunting) was I can get a MSP-MUC-MSP roundtrip ticket with tax for $1200 (KLM) (MSP depart 6/17 and MUC return 6/30) and then a MUC-SVO-MUC ticket with tax for $400 (Aeroflot) (6/23 MUC depart and 6/30 SVO return), so all said and done $1600. But when I did a MSP-MUC-SVO-MSP with specific departure times (as we're trying to meet friends from Moscow and return with them), the cost was $2100. The difference is $500, but I have two tickets to buy, hence $1000. You need to get off the web and to a travel agent. Online booking is good for domestic US flights, but not for an international itinerary like this. You are setting yourself up to be fleeced if you book online without getting quotes from a decent travel agent first. Sorry if this was unclear and you thought my previous posting was BS. I'm simply trying to find the best price for tickets and am looking for help. Travel agent, travel agent, travel agent. You will get ripped off by booking anything online for an itinerary like this. Seriously, pick up the phone and call around. -- K. |

Which leads me to ask the question that has been bugging me, can you really save that much to make the hassle of a long connection for safety, as one said they would overnight? -- Joseph Coulter Cruises and Vacations http://www.josephcoulter.com/ Er, I think I need a translation of that, Joseph. :) FWIW, I simply refuse to travel on tight connections. The hassle isn't worth it too me. If I were connecting at MUC, I'd spend the night, have a beer or three and relax. Paul Ok Translation. is the savings of buying 2 tickets sufficient to cover the added expense and aggravation? ie are you really saving anything? alternative. Why not just buy a ticket MSP-MUC-SVO-MSP? -- Joseph Coulter Cruises and Vacations http://www.josephcoulter.com/ Ok, got it now. :) Certainly -- if there is no need to be in Muenchen twice. I just assumed the poster needed to be there twice. |

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions and help. I was able to find
a MSP-MUC-SVO-MSP ticket on KLM and Aerflot for $1550 (including taxes and fees) . This avoids the backtrack thru Munich and the issue with transferring carriers in Munich. Would be interested in any recommendations for hotels in Munich and Nuremburg. Again we're meeting friends from Moscow, so we need to find accomodations for the four of us. ALso, any suggestion on train travel form Munich to Nuremburg too. |

There is one (sometimes two) direct ICE trains an hour between these cities. Travel time is less than two hours. It is hard to give recommendations for hotels without knowing price range, where you want to stay (in the middle of things? somewhere quiet? modern? traditional? Paul |
