Ryanair fly direct but unless they're asleep at the wheel like Aer Lingus were with the Vienna flights a few years ago probably better off going through Brussels. Frankfurt Hahn an option don't know if there's any bus connections to Luxembourg though

I'd imagine there'd be plenty of bus and train options to Luxembourg City whether you fly into Frankfurt (maybe Stuttgart too), Paris or Brussels. 
Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

They definitely not asleep on the wheel over €200 already for that direct flight. Loads of options available though can book with lufthansa into Luxembourg with connecting flight in Germany for decent price. Travel will be easy to sort for this 1

Yeah, should be plenty of options for getting there and back. I just hope that they don't leave it too long to announce if we can go or not.

Flying into Cologne, took a chance for €20. Unfortunately Ryanair only fly into Frankfurt international from Dublin so Cologne is the shortest bus/train journey

Travel time from Koln and Frankfurt is more or less the same give or take 30 mins.

When I was looking into it I think the trains from Cologne were going every hour and working out shorter also so that’s what swung the decision was originally going to book Frankfurt. As far as I could make out there was no direct trains from either city

This is correct - Normally just one change though.

Sadly a sign of these Covid times. Not so long ago a popular (train loving) YBIG member would have already provided you with all the details of departure times, changes, cheapest tickets etc

Flix bus used to run from Hahn and Charleroi to Luxembourg. Could be different since covid hit but worth checking out. Paid 5 euro for the bus from charleroi to Luxembourg a few years back.

The trains from Germany to Luxembourg travel through the beautiful moselle valley. Went in the opposite direction for our game in gelsenkirchen all those years ago. A very nice trip.

Yeah there definitely used to be a Hahn to Lux flixbus. I'm not sure if there still is. I wouldn't be flying to Amsterdam for this one. Brussels is a far better bet.

In terms of trains from Brussels, they run hourly, it's €28.20 each way, there's no advance purchase savings, and it takes about three hours. There's no catering on board so stock up in advance.

From Frankfurt or Cologne, it takes about three and a half or four hours and usually involves a change or possibly two (usually in Koblenz). It is potentially marginally cheaper than the Brussels option with advance purchase tickets from €22.90 each way; full price tickets are about €50 each way though, so it makes sense to pre-book.

There are loads of options for it anyway.

I haven't booked anything yet or looked into it in too much detail but I will once things are a bit clearer.

If he's still on the pay roll in November there's some serious problems going on

Wouldn't worry too much about that another few weeks the Mediterranean countries will be pushing for EU travel to save their tourism season. I'd be confident we will be in Luxembourg so much so I booked my flights the other day.
