- The outbound train will be a little shorter as I'm actually headed for Klatovy. There is actually a direct Munich-Prague which I'll probably use for the return after spending a day in Prague.
- The train ride might actually be kinda cool
- The way the flight times work out I leave earlier and return later and I don't think I actually lose much time at destinations to the train.
So I really appreciate the recommendation to look at MUC. I'm stoked and I'm about ready to book! Still open to other ideas though.
Is an advantage not to transit a 3rd country(UK). Worth paying more for that. Better to keep it simple. For me 2 short haul and one long haul better than a series of medium hauls
"CMI-ORD-CLT-MUC will be a little crazy" No, This is FT. More ff miles - more status earning
