Unfortunately, we had a very long delay on the route from Frankfurt Airport, which spoiled the overall train journey.

I travelled from Frankfurt Airport to Munich by ICE and was largely satisfied with the journey. Firstly, I was pleased that the journey time was extremely short, less than 4 hours. The train was very modern, with comfortable seats and air conditioning that ensured pleasant room temperatures. The service on board was also good, then today coffee is served at the seat, unfortunately the train reached the destination with a delay of almost 10 minutes.
