 The full extent of the
massive waiting hall by sourbugger
It currently has only one scheduled service per day (oh, and a service to Bratislava on every second Sunday)
The Ryanair service leaves daily from Stansted at 9.35 and from Altenberg at 12.50.
Although Leipzig has another larger airport, closer to the city - this place provides by far the cheapest option to/from the U.K.
It's a very homely little place to pass through, the architecture reminded me of a small provincial library - but very limited in facilities if you are delayed. You could however get a look at a MIG fighter which has been restored in one of the hangers. Details of who to contact are available on the airport website.

the leipzig airport is one of the most modern in Germany but it is also one of the emptiest. I guess they overestimated the flights that would come here... it's huge, dwarfing any of Berlin's 3 airports, and ultra modern and sleek, but really one of the emptiest major regional airports you'll ever see in your life.

Ryanair may have dumped Leipzig as a destination, but it is still well served by a number of budget airlines, including the excellent Air Berlin and Lufthansa's budget wing Condor. Most of the destinations cater to the package tourist, but there are a few other destinations, including London, Paris and even Tel-Aviv.

Of the major airlines serving the airport Lufthansa is, of course, the biggest, but others fly from here too, including Austria Air to Vienna and Croatian Airlines. Leave a Comment

 Going through Gerstungen
station by Nemorino
Even now, after nineteen years of German unification, it still feels eerie to sit in a train as it barrels through the town of Gerstungen without even slowing down.
Gerstungen used to be the border stop between East and West Germany, and every train had at least a one-hour stop there while the GDR People's Police checked everybody's passports and searched the entire train with dogs to make sure no one was trying to sneak out of the country. They also did this on the way in, for whatever reason.
Now it only takes a little over two hours to get from Frankfurt to Erfurt on the train, and you don't even have to change money.
The hourly ICE trains from Frankfurt to Dresden all stop in Erfurt, which is usually the third stop after Fulda and Eisenach. After Erfurt, the trains go on to Weimar and from there to Leipzig.
In some of the newer InterCityExpress trains (ICE) you can look over the driver's shoulder at the tracks ahead. Or look at the tracks behind, if you are at that end of the train. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

 Bicycle station by Nemorino
Here you can leave your bike for safe (and dry) keeping while you go off on the train somewhere, and you can also have it repaired, or you can rent or buy a bike here.

The main station at Leipzig is one of the worlds largest railway stations with a length of 298m, 24 platforms and 45m wide arches. Until 1934 the station had a Saxon and Prussian administration. Later, in 1996-97 it was completely rebuilt with a shopping centre and multi-storey car park. Leave a Comment

 ICE in Leipzig's Central
Railway Station by german_eagle
I hopped on an ICE in Dresden - it took me not more than an hour to Leipzig Hbf (35 Euro return ticket). On the way back I had picked an IC (Saarbrücken - Hannover - Magedeburg) to Dresden. It was packed, so I did not get a seat before the stop in Riesa. I should have known better, since it was Friday afternoon ... and a seat reservation is highly recommended! Leave a Comment
