i recently traveled CGN to FRA airport

first class was sold out (a week in advance) so i had to take second- (to reserve a seat)

the seats were not comfortable (close and crowded) but the car was PACKED with standees

very claustrophobic

and i had a briefcase and carry-on suitcase- its a lot of shlepping and lifting

quite unpleasant

you must reserve seats

but then you are screwed if you miss your train

how much cheaper is your ex-CGN flight v. FRA or HHN? is it worth it?
