Airport decision

The closest airport is not always the best airport

Compare the complete journey, not only the distance shown on a map.

Option 1

Closest regional airport

Shorter transfer
Fewer flight options
Often higher airfare
Limited rental-car hours possible

Best when the flight schedule is reliable.

Option 2

Major international hub

More direct flights
Better rebooking options
Longer road or rail transfer
More rental-car availability

Best when flexibility matters.

Option 3

Cross-border airport

Can reduce airfare
Useful in Central Europe
Check cross-border rental rules
Possible motorway tolls or permits

Best after checking the complete transfer.

Option 4

Airport with train connection

No rental car required initially
Useful for city-based tournaments
Risk from delays and connections
Less practical with heavy luggage

Best when the route is direct and frequent.

Practical rule: Add airport waiting time, baggage collection, rental-car pickup, traffic and parking. A 60-minute drive can easily become a three-hour airport-to-hotel journey.
