Paying the ICE really bumps up the cost of traveling, as the standard fair is €65 each way.
It's €25 each way if you are flying with LH to Frankfurt and buy a Rail&Fly ticket directly from LH.

Has anybody here asked the airlines or the DAA why no direct flights are available? If so what was the response?
Presumably because not enough people want to pay enough money to go there - generally speaking with Ryanair being (sometimes!) the exception most airlines rely on a reasonable number of passengers paying much more than lowest fare offers ... no-one is going to run a flight DUB-STR half-full of people paying €100 or less return ... given the proximity to Frankfurt and the smaller market size I wouldn't imagine a DUB-STR flight is likely to re-appear.
Hi Airtight, I’ve flown into Frankfurt and gone by train to Stuttgart (and Reutlingen) a good few times. Yes, the train is expensive and usually packed but it is quick. The train to Reutlingen is not too busy. Reutlingen is a nice city, if you haven’t been there before make sure you get to look around. It’s a big centre for Life Science manufacturing so there’s plenty of money in the place.
If you’ve been there before you know all that.
Any train Germany-wide is €29 if you book it ahead far enough. That includes ICE, as many changes as required and anywhere in the country.
Airtight, as your wife is German (your mail 11/2/09), surely she can sort out a lot of the problems that seem to confront your travels. Nein?
