I stay near the station, Hauptbanhof, when I go to Munich. I know all too well the references you are inferring :rofl:. I think it is the same the world over.

Don't forget the accidental flirting. They love that...
I was at a conference last November as a speaker and the conference booked my room. I never received a booking confirmation. When I got to the hotel I explained the situation to the young woman at the desk. Pretty thing too.
"Ah yes, we have your room."
"That's a relief. It's cold outside!"
"Yes!"
"Mind you, I did notice that there's a warm spot near the station where others are sleeping, so maybe it wouldn't be too bad."
"Well if you're going to sleep at the station, maybe I can use your room tonight?"
"You don't have to let my presence in the room stop you from sleeping there..."
She blushed deeply whenever she saw me for the rest of the week.

continental flights are a rip off... Flew to Copenhagen on Monday morning.. 1.5 hr flt costed about £680!!! I am glad they had a cold croissant and some warm orange juice on the house..
Now that is painful. Mine is costing £308 and that is making me squeal. You can go long haul for £680.

why on earth did you fly with Continental? BA or SAS would be my choice for Copenhagen...

Stuttgart flights are expensive. Dusseldorf then train would be better.

Coach on BA... usually costs me around £450 during the week but Monday mornings is commuter area so £680 is fairly common.. Along with my cold croissant and warm OJ, I did have the pleasure of sitting in the Exit row and losing myself in the air hostess eyes as she sat next to me but facing the other way..
I could go to India and back for £680 and still have taxi money..
Frankfurt = very nice airport. Lufthansa sandwiches = worst thing I've ever been given to eat on an aeroplane.
I woke up this morning in the beautiful town of Eltville. I had lunch sat in the sun in the equally pleasant town of Erbach followed by a walk along the Rhine. All in all a very pleasant trip.

I love Germany, I worked a lot in the Baden Wutenburg area and it's one of the loveliest places on earth.

I judge an airport on its lounge. Frankfurt has a well stocked bar with decent local beers! Its not a patch on Prague though.. If you travel a lot, decent investment is a 'priority pass'. gets you in tons of lounges, i get one 'free' with my bank account as a benefit, but would happily pay the 150/200 quid for one.

I passed a couple of lounges at Edinburgh and also Frankfurt. There is something mythical about those lounges. Smoked glass doors, elitist women at the front desk looking you up and down, hoping for the chance to refuse you entry, an oasis of calm and luxury. They have a real them and us feel to them. I've always been on the outside and feel unnaturally hostile towards them. No doubt if I went in I would roll over and love them without issue. Perhaps it is best that I don't step inside that world as every other trip would be a let down in comparison.
