Transport from Rotenburg Germany to Paris France

Mary, as the others have pointed out, travel via train will probably be faster than budget air, when all factors are considered. Also, as Lee mentioned, planes could be grounded due to weather. Cheers!

"I looked up on the web and the cost is $115 [air] from Munich to Paris. The time is around two hours. The train is 6 plus hours and $135". . . . . . . ¶ Maybe you should fire your website. It looks to me like the only airlines that fly non-stop from MUC to Paris are Air France and Lufthansa, and the lowest fare I can find is AF for $526 one way. The lowest fare is Adria Air, 6 hours through Ljubljiana, for $251. That's for a month from now. (You might get near the $115 price by buying RT and throwing away the return) . . . . . . ¶ For the same date I found rail fare for €49 plus €2,50 reservation ($67, half of your quote). That's the entire trip, Rothenburg to Paris, in 7½ hrs.

If you book far enough in advance at the German rail website, bahn.de, you can make the train trip for as low as 39 euro, or just over $50 U.S. As for the flight option, take the time for your journey from Rotenburg to Munich aiport, add an hour for pre-flight arrival, an hour for the flight, and another hour to debark and get into the center of Paris (costing another 8-10 Euro). I'm sure Lee and other Germany specialists will be able to add to this.

"Since this is the middle of winter why would anyone take the train?" . . . . . . . . Trains generally get through regardless of weather; flights get grounded. That's why. . . . . . ¶ If you go to Stuttgart, you can catch the TGV (3-1/2 hrs to Paris). Rothenburg to Stuttgart via Ansbach is probably faster than Rothenburg to MUC. . . . . . . . ¶ AirBerlin might fly from Nürnberg (which is closer to Rothenburg than Munich) to Paris. But as Norm pointed out, don't just look just at flight times. With time getting to and from airports, checkin, security, waiting to board, finding ground transportation, a one hour flight often consumes more like six hours. . . . . . . ¶ AirBerlin's flights from Nürnberg to Paris take at least 4 hours through Düsseldorf.

BTW, how did you find accurate rail fares from ROTHENBURG OB DER TAUBER to Paris from the Bahn by using ROTENBURG? There are at least two Rotenburgs in Germany, but they are not Rothenburg.
