Hello everybody.
This summer is going to be the first I am traveling alone. So I am asking your help because I simply have less experience that any of you.
I have to get from Frankfurt-Hahn airport (I think I can go to Frankfurt city which is 120km away, if it‘s better) to Neuville-sur-Ain (France, 65km away from Lyon and 22km away from Bourg en Bresse). Date is 2009.07.15 23.30 (frankfurt-hahn).
What is the fastest and the cheapest way getting there? I have to be in my destination on 2009.07.17.
I thought about TGV, but it is very expensive. I would greatly appreciate any tips and any of your help.
Reply to this hmmm . . . u could go from Mainz (is between Hahn and Frankfurt) to Geneve (swiss) and from there over to Neuville-sur-Ain. I've just found a first class Train ticket one way from Mainz to Geneve for 59 Euro !

1.Class ticket is in that case cheaper than the 2.class ! ! ! 😊)))
u also can go Mainz - Neuville-sur-Ain, just can't find a price. Do u wanne go somewhere else ? There is a eurorail ticket available which u can get I think valid for 4-7-14 days . . . means u just writing in your day which u wanne use a train and u can go the hole day with which ever train u like !
Reply to this also I don't know if u have already booked your flight, if not check if there isn't maybe a easyjet flight to Geneve ! http://www.easyjet.com/ Genve is much closer to your destination !
Reply to this Yeah, I already booked my flight. Its rather expensive to go to geneve and then to neuville sur Ain for me. Bad thing is I want to be on neuville sur ain on 07.17 and go cheap too. It might be impossible xD. But thanks for your answer.
Maybe someone knows more?
Reply to this Yes, I know this way, but sadly I can go from frankfurt just on 17 day's evening, be in Lyon on 18 morning and then go to neuville. I would be 1 day late.

You could also try
www.mitfahrzentrale.de
It is a company that finds paying passangers for people who are making car journeys. There might be somebody going the route you are going and the prices are good too.
There are also other airlines that offer good prices. Try GermanWings and Condor to see if they fly that route. To get good priced plane or train tickets book as much in advance as you can to catch the bargains before they are all sold.

In response to your private message, I think you have to register on the site and then they find you somebody to make the journey with. I have not tried it, but my boyfriend has. It seems safe. I cant remember how much it costs for a journey but it is a lot less than full price for the train. It is reliable. My boyfriend has never had any problems with it.
I dont know if you could specifically ask for a female driver, but it may be worthwhile trying that.

Reply to this If you arrive in Hahn at 23:30 it will be the best to stay there.
