It is valid for all zone in vrr after 7 pm. You can buy a zusatz ticket for every ride outside your local zone with 2. 5 or 3. 5 euro before 7 pm. It is good in all zone at any hours for weekend and holiday. If you buy a day ticket for zone C or D, it will cost you 25 euro. From the zone map and some partytreffen location, zone C and D is needed. I assume you go out to club after 9 am and come after 7 pm. Ticket2000 9 uhr cost 50. 70 euro for zone level A2. Zusatz ticket cost 3. 5 per trip for zone D before 7 pm. It is less than 70 euro for 4 day if one club for one day. 4 days ticket will cost over 100 euro for zone see or the. This way, you can stay a cheap hotel anywhere. The monthly ticket2000 9 uhr for zone see 93. 75 (area might be small) and the 114. 25. You can buy monthly ticket for zone see or the if you stay longer.

This airport called "Frankfurt-Hahn" (HHN) is over an hour away from Frankfurt, located in the middle of the Bundesland Rheinland-Pfalz. (= Rhineland-Palantine) So you will land practically in the middle of nowhere, but Ryan Air and maybe others offer cheap flights from and to there if you book early enough in advance. There is also a shuttle service from the airport to Frankfurt and Cologne. Rooms for the night are available at the airport and in the neighbouring village "Lautzenhausen".

I'm not familiar with all that myself, since I go everywhere by car. Maybe SooNice and DV can give more detailed information, since I know that both have used this airport before. And for SooNice it had been convenient to get back to the airport from a Spermagames-event with me, since I live in the area and had an only 15 km detour to drop him off back in February. Anybody who uses this airport to get to a Spermagames- or BareBackKreis-party can get a ride with me, if I should go to the same party.

Of the previous report on travel tickets, I have been aware of certain small list of hotels in Dusseldorf that issue the VRR regional ticket during a whole stay. Below is a link I discovered today that has more hotels in the NRW region. The ticket is like a big business card which has your name and room number with the hotel's name printed on. A small seal covers the date of your stay. Also has the Rhienbahn logo.

Great info WK on that Bahn app was not aware of it, thanks for that.

Would like to add this info for newcomers about a particular day ticket for the NRW region. It is far more extensive than the VRR regional ticket which only goes so far.

The VRR one is handy if it is given out free at certain hotels but if unable to get that one free and thinking of buying one then I suggest to get the SchönerTagTicket NRW instead which is only about 1 or 2 euros more at 27 euros for a single user.

The link below is mainly about the VRR tickets and shows its particular map.

I used to always take down all my public transport routes from the Bahn.de website, save them on a text document and save them in my phone. Used to take ages and was always a pain in the arschen doing it, but I like to have all that shit figured out before a trip.

Now I use the Bahn.de app from the Google play store. (U can get this from iTunes also for iPhones). I then can store my routes on the Google Calendar on my phone. Its so handy when it comes to actually taking the trains / trams / buses to have the info at hand.

1. Download App From Google Play store.

2. Open App And Enter Destination Details. Also enter the actual date and time you are traveling.

3. The App Will Give Various Route Options.

4. Pick A Route and Save in Calendar.

5. Open Google Calendar On Phone and Select A Date with Routes Saved.

6. Click On A Saved Route and Read all Route Details.

BTW I hate printing stuff out on paper, and much prefer reading it on my mobile. I also always bring 2 phones incase one fucks up.
