Final comments

If cheap flights, it might be hard to find any to Innsbruck, as long as you don't fly from Paris / Amsterdam (SkyEurope). Of course that changes every season / 6 months, so it's worth to check every now and then. Definetely no flights like that from Poland so far. In such case good idea could be to fly to Munich and from there take "Four Seasons" taxi directly from the airport to your home in Innsbruck - 40 EUR in 2006. Other: fly to Salzburg, it's just 2 hours to Innsbruck by train.
