Starting to look for flights for our European trip next year, am curious if anyone has any experience with German trains. Depending on the airline, we may end up connecting through Frankfurt on our way to Berlin. Was wondering about opinions about taking the train vs. a plane for that final leg. Plane would be quicker, obviously (roughly an hour flight vs a 4 hour train ride, looks like), but since we'd be landing in the morning after an overnight flight and likely won't be able to check into our hotel right away anyway, don't really care if we get in at 10 am vs. 1 pm or whatever.

Trains are going to be comfortable, but pay the extra 4.50 per seat to reserve a spot. It just makes it so much easier.
If you have motion sickness, be aware that Frankfurt Main Hbf is a terminus, so you'd have 10 minutes from the Frankfurt Airpot (Flughafen) to the Frankfurt Main Train station (Hbf) and then switch directions.
The journey will be fine, but personally after having an international flight over here, I'd much rather get to my desitation faster and be able to walk around a city than be sitting on a train for another 4 hours.

Even with Brandenburg finally open, unless you just can't wait for a currywurst and a doener, I would probably train it from FRA. You usually can't check in to a hotel that early anyway and once you're on the ICE to Berlin Hauptbahnhof you can enjoy the countryside views and have a nap.
But yes, do reserve seats. The Southwest Airlines style cattle call can go to hell.

The train system in Germany and Austria is horrible at the moment. Most of the trains are always late for some reasons.
That's the reason i prefer renting a car and just drive (austrian vignette is available here avstrijskavinjeta.si)
This way i can count on myself only and don't be depended on some schedules and delays.Last edited by anygreen; 12-29-2022, 05:36 PM.
