flight from Paris to Stuttgart
Wed, 01/18/2012 - 09:33
Hi! I snagged flights from Toronto to Paris in July for $785 USD on Finnair. Now looking for flight from Paris to Stuttugart RT July 24- 31. I am finding 141 euro on ITA for a month now. Is that as good as it gets? Only 85 Euro the opposite direction. Should I wait longer to try to get these? I like to get everything taken care of but if I should wait, I will just keep looking for the apartment and wait for the airfare. Thanks for your help! Prefer Stuttgart as someone from Reutluingen will be picking us up and that is the closest for them.

Why fly? Train Is only just over 3 1/2 hours, so train will actually be faster (including check-in time and time to get to/from airports). Advance purchase special fares are as low as 39€ with no extra fees for baggage, hidden fees or fare to get to/from airport.
I never think about trains since I live in rural ohio and have only been on a subway once in my life! I know 3 years ago when we went from Stuttgart to Rome, flights were really cheap and train was more. Thank you very much. Will check it out. Would be nice to try a train anyway. Hopefully the reservation system is easy to understand and purchase tickets.
OK I did a search and what I found was 85 one way. Where do I find the these super saver 39 E ?
I was thinking train too. What time do you land in Paris, and are you planning to just head straight to Germany? With train you could switch in Stuttgart and go on to Reutluingen. You can check schedules and purchase here, but 90 days in advance is the earliest you can buy:
We are spending 4 days in Paris as soon as we get there- have never been there before. We had an exchange student from Germany so we will then go see her in Reutlingen. Flights to Stuttgart were 1300-1400 from US but found the great fare to Paris and wanted to see another city anyway. We arrive Paris July 20 will leave July 24 for Stuttgart/Reutlingen, July 31 back to Paris and fly out on Aug 1st. So… I need to just wait until 90 days and single tickets are sold here, not just passes for multiple days. Will the tickets be 39 E each way if I buy 90 days out?
Deblog, you can purchase this train ticket starting 92 days before travel from Bahn.de. There is an American English version from the drop-down menu at top of that page.
Train definitely does make more sense for this trip. 39 Euros one-way is probably a typical advance purchase special fare. I have actually seen some longer-distances to/from Germany in summer for 29 Euros (last summer); so for budgeting, 39 Euros is probably safe, although I guess it’s possible it could be 49 or more.
