Enlighten me:
Do my conclusions look correct?

The low fare is for an advanced booking. What might the fares be if we waited until we arrive to book?

Is Landstuhl the best station to use after arriving at Ramstein?

Other travel advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

1) Landstuhl is closest to Ramstein AFB - but it's a rather small regional station. Get a lift to Kaiserslautern, where long distance trains stop.

2) The bus comes up because Deutsche Bahn lost the tender for the Nuremberg - Prague train. The bus they laid on instead isn't bad, but if you prefer a train, this is what to do:
On www.bahn.de query page, deselect "Bus" from the methods of transport.
