The route

BratislavaBratislavaMunichMunich
The journey

What the journey actually looks like

Direct or connecting, how far the route really runs, and what happens when a connection is missed.

Direct or connecting
50% of the services we sell on this corridor run through without a change. The remaining 50% involve one connection.
How far it really runs
The route covers 472 km against 410 km in a straight line, a detour of 15 percent. Track and road geometry account for the difference.
Where the change is
Connections are made at Meidling, Hietzing, Margareten, Favoriten. The gap between arriving and leaving is 48 minutes, of which about 5 is walking.
If the connection is missed
The tightest connection we sell here has a 19 percent chance of not being made on the timetable alone. Part of this journey is a self transfer between separate tickets, so leave more time than the minimum and expect to check in again.
First and last departure
The first service of the day leaves Bratislava at 06:28 and the last at 07:30, across 6 departures. The return direction keeps its own timetable, so the times back are not these times reversed.

Munich is large, and the road in from MUC can take longer than the last hour of the flight. Cars are not our business.

Getting from MUC into Munich

Settled in advance, so the ride into Munich costs what it said it would rather than what the cab stand says.

Which month is cheapest for Bratislava to Munich?

Where these numbers come from

Derived from service area No carrier record names this exact pair. The operators listed publish a service area covering both places at a distance their mode plausibly carries people, which is evidence that the corridor is served and not evidence of a specific service. Pages state which, because presenting the two as the same thing would be dishonest.

Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modeled number pass for a filed one.
