For routes under four or five hours, trains are usually better. You leave from the city center and avoid a lot of airport stress.
Is it better to travel around Europe by train or cheap flights?
#budget travel#Europe travel#itinerary#real experience#travel tips
I'm comparing trains and budget airlines for moving between European cities. Which one was easier, cheaper, or less stressful in your experience?
AI Summary
Most users preferred trains for shorter and medium routes because stations are central and security is easier. Budget flights can be cheaper for long distances, but several replies warned about baggage fees, airport transfers, and delays.
Answers & Discussion
Cheap flights are only cheap if you pack light and read the baggage rules. The extra fees can ruin the deal quickly.
I enjoy trains because the travel day becomes part of the trip. You see more countryside and do not feel trapped in airports.
Flights make sense for longer jumps like Spain to Greece or Portugal to Germany. For nearby cities, I would take the train.
