Budget Flights going to many desitinations
Often it is cheaper (and definitely faster) to fly than buy a train ticket Flies out of Brussels-Charleroi & Frankfurt-Hahn (not Luxembourg) Tips when using Ryanair: The earlier you book, the cheaper it is! Triple check the spelling of all passengers names Don't wait until the airport to check a bag! 100€ fee! "Carry on" is not quite an American Carry On You can use the hand scale in Katie's officeto weigh your bags |
Both are great resources to start with when looking for a flight. They scan the prices of all budget & major European airlines.

From the Luxembourg City Train Station, take Bus 16 towards "Aeroport." The aiport is the end of the line & the stop is directly in front of the main entrance.
International Buses:
Flixbus is a bus service that operates all over Europe for routes as cheap as 9.99E!! **Hint: Saarbrucken is a huge Flixbus hub and is only 1.5 hours and a 9E ticket from Luxembourg city. But, always be aware that the Flixbus stop in Saarbrucken is about a 20 min. walk from the train station- not difficult, but you need to leave time. Always check connections from Saarbrucken, then you can take a train to Lux city and a bus (reservation required) from Lux city to Saarbrucken!

OuiBus leaves from Luxembourg City and goes to locations all over France, The Netherlands, and Belgium to places like Amsterdam, Provence, Avignon, Brussels, Antwerp, and more! As of now, the prices also seem to be great with an average round trip to Amsterdam costs 50E! Be sure to check out this resource!

Carpooling:
An option. Cheaper, faster, and an interesting cultural experience. But also a good time to listen to your instincts!

Bla Bla Car is a fairly new ride-sharing program. It connects those who want to travel from one point to another with those who are already driving this route. As with any carpooling/ridesharing program, it's always safer to travel with more than one person and listen to your instincts!
