20C3 is coming closer, and I still don't know whether I should go by plane or by train. First of all: since I haven't booked anything so far, both are going to be quite expensive. To get information on pricing from the ?B website is extremely confusing, but Deutsche Bahn gives me a price of at least EUR 170,- from Passau to Berlin and back (which is going to be even more since I have to start in Linz). On the other side, going by plane (i.e. Air Berlin) is much more comfortable and goes way faster, and won't be more than EUR 220,-, including the train I have to pay to go from Linz to Vienna and from there to Vienna Airport and everything back. So, as you can see, not an easy choice. Currently, I tend a little bit towards going by plane, since it's much more comfortable than train (although going by ICE is quite nice, too).
