Transportation

Luxembourg (LUX)

This international airport (situated 70 kmfrom Metz) is rather small and very efficient.

To reach Metz from Luxembourg airport, you have two possibilities: 

1. take the FLIBCO-bus (tickets available at https://www.flibco.com/en#/booking) that directly takes you to Metz in approximately 70 minutes (the bus stop to select is “METZ - Arrêt TIM avenue Foch 23 (next to Hôtel IBIS) ”, which is very close to the railway station). It is not necessary to buy these tickets very early. One month in advance is enough.
2. take Bus 16 to Luxembourg railway station (bus stop in front of the airport exit - it takes about 20 minutes) and then a regional train to Metz (about 45 minutes). Bus and train tickets can be bought without prior reservation at the bus stop and railway station, respectively. For trains schedule Luxembourg-Metz : www.cfl.lu/en or https://www.oui.sncf/billet-train

 Note: When flying in from outside Europe, say to City «A» (say Paris, London, Frankfurt, Madrid), it is worth asking your travel agency the cost of adding the extra flight City «A»-Luxembourg (often operated by Luxair). Strangely enough, prices are often lower than going to «A» only, and once in Luxembourg you are almost there !
