  • Hi Budgetflyer,

    For the last week or so, I've been trying to find a bargain trip to the Munich Christmas markets for 2nd-4th December, 2 people, flights and hotels. But haven't had massive success on the price front. I came on MSE to see if anyone had posted anything and discovered a few of your posts on Berlin, Bremen and Dortmund which look like fantastic deals!

    We'd really like to go to Munich on the above dates - do you know of any deals to Munich like the ones you have found for the other locations? Any pointers would be much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance. :)
