Long journey timeI travelled from Frankfurt Airport to Stuttgart on the ICE 619. The train itself was in an exceptionally clean and well-maintained condition. It set off on time and also arrived in Stuttgart on time. The comfortable seats and balanced air conditioning made the journey extremely comfortable. The staff were all friendly. The only negative thing I found was the long journey time of almost three hours.

The comfort and service were satisfactory, although there is room for improvement here and there. If the food selection is expanded and punctuality is more closely adhered to, this would make the journey even more enjoyable.
