How we compare

Each row compares the lowest-priced trip in our results that flies to another airport, then takes a bus or train, with the lowest-priced flight-only trip in our results for the same city pair and day. The two trips can leave from or arrive at different airports; each row says when they do. Totals include the wait between legs.

Prices are for one adult, one way, in EUR, as our engine priced them. Each option shows the day we checked its flight fare. On 12 of 13 rows the bus or train price is our own estimate, not a fare read from the operator, and the operator name only says who runs that kind of service; those totals and differences are marked as estimates. Totals do not include getting to the first stop or from the last one. Trips with no flight at all are left out: for Istanbul to Lille our results also had bus-only trips, each over 51 hours. Fares move, so treat them as what we saw, not what you will pay today. The bus or train part can be long, sometimes in another country; every row shows how long, and rows over 6 hours on the ground say so.
