:excellent spot, I took bus 26 from near where I was staying and then walked along a path above the motorway until I reached a chain fence. This can then be followed down a hill for easy access to the petrol station without walking the whole way along the side of the road. I waited less then 15mins before a car picked me up. Best to start in the morning though, as traffic heading far will thin later in the day. (07/2016)
'''May 2013:''' ''[[User:Ondercan|Ondercan]] would say that the average waiting time is close to 2h and there's always a lot of local traffic near this mall. The petrol station is on the parallel road to the highway that goes directly to Bratislava so there aren't actually many cars going to Bratislava but mostly local people stopping by after shopping. Also it's almost impossible to hitchhike from the exit of Avion too, Ondercan stood there more than 2h with a sign with no success. In total Ondercan waited there more than 5h, when deciding to go back and take the train. While hopping the train it's important to remember that tickets are controlled twice, both after getting in the train and after entering Slovakia.''
'''August 2016:''' ''[[User:uncle_sam01|Uncle_sam01]] had a similar experience, although did not wait as long as Ondercan, probably because he's a local. The only method that works here is talking to people, ideally with Slovak license plates.''
'''April 2019''': ''[[user:uncle_sam01|Uncle_sam01]] uses this spot regularly for rides towards Vienna and it's probably Take a tram 2 to the best in Brnostop "Modřice, Tyršova". Rarely waited more than 30 minutesAnd walk little bit back near the Unicorn fuel station. The highway isn't ideal (cars Cars are going very fast)here, however, but the gas station is great and theredon's always someone going towards Vienna. If not Viennat have much room to stop, then so you might try alternating between thumbing on the Austrian border is also another great spot. There's also a lot of people (especially Poles) going toward Znojmo road and then towards Germany, so this may also be good for Munichasking drivers who stop at the station.''

Brno
,==== First option ====
This spot is quickly and easily accessible from various parts of Brno with hitchability from average to good. Find trolley-bus 25, 26 or 29 and get off at stop "Čtvrtě". From the bridge you can see big road to Prague. Go down and after 200 m there is smaller petrol station. Next to it is great place to hitchhike just a few metres from pump machines where you can ask people. Unfortunately on this lane often parks some truck or two so you can only hitchhike cars leaving station or ask.
If you get stuck here, you can try your luck in another spot which is quite close to this one. Walk towards the highway and the bridge over your road, climb up the bridge and follow the road NW until you see traffic lights and you can stand right after the lights where you get people from both directions. However, it's really difficult for drivers to stop here for you to get in. It's much, much better to just go to second option, it's not that far away.
==== Second option ====
15 minutes walk from stop "Osová" - trams 6, 8 or trolley-buses 25, 29 (terminus). From tram stop go up to the bridge. From trolley-buses loop go over the bridge. There is bus stop, you can take bus 69 to stop "Čermákova" or continue this wide road 400 m to the end - crossroad with new houses behind. You can already see the motorway and petrol station. But turn right. After 350 m you are at the bus stop "Čermákova". Turn left (street Čermákova) and at the end you can see small tunnel under motorway. Just before tunnel on the left you can go up and after 300 m you are at OMV petrol station. In winter could be hard to get there.
==== First option ====
Take bus number 67, or the free "Avion bus" (it goes from 9am till 10pm every 20/30 minute) that starts on the bus stop "Úzká", and get off at the commercial zone “Avion”. There is a petrol station (where you can shower and even sleep) along the motorway which is going to [[Slovakia]]. It's a big commercial zone with big shops. One of them has free internet access, it's the electrical shop before Ikea. This isn't the greatest spot, but there just isn't any better, so don't expect any miracles. Asking around is probably crucial at this spot. Ideally get a trucker to take you at least to the next MOL gas station (about 16km out).
==== Second Option ====
'''October 2017''': ''[[User:Kossabossa|Kossabossa]]: the place has low traffic and no one is going all the way to Vienna. It took us about 45 minutes to find a ride to a Shell gas station in Mikulov, from where it was really easy to find a ride to Vienna.''
==== Second option Unicorn fuel station ====Take a tram 2 to the stop "Modřice, Tyršova". And walk little bit back near the Unicorn petrol station. Cars are going very fast here, however, and don't have much room to stop, so you might try alternating between thumbing on the road and asking drivers who stop at the station.
==== Third option ====
==== Fourth option ====
Mikulov is a nice town near the Austrian border with very slow and dense long-distance traffic. Take the bus 105 from the centre, Ústřední hřbitov or Novomoravanská stops all the way to Mikulov. The ticket is 14 CZK with ISIC, or 56 CZK (~2 €), you can buy it directly from the driver. Looking for a car going to Mikulov at the petrol stations in Brno is not as easy since many people only go to the nearby villages. It takes some time but from Mikulov you can get easy rides by hitchhiking standing on the roadside or asking around far beyond Vienna. [[user:Duffajfka|Duffajfka]] frequents this and got a straight ride used to find direct rides to places like Zagreb in May 2019, Slovenia or Salzburg before the pandemic.
=== Northeast towards [[Prostějov]], [[Olomouc]], [[Ostrava]], [[Katowice]] (PL) {{Dcz|1}}{{E|462}} <br />+ east towards [[Kroměříž]], [[Zlín]] {{Motorway Number Czech Republic|1}} <br />+ east towards [[Uherské Hradiště]], [[Trenčín]] (SK) {{Ncz|50}}{{E|50}} ===
Both spots are probably better than Second option spot. [http://hitchwiki.org/en/index.php?title=Brno&action=edit§ion=11 Add more specific info please]
