I 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.

Overall, my train journey from Frankfurt Airport to Stuttgart was a pleasant experience. The comfort and service were satisfactory, although there is room for improvement here and there.

I travelled from Frankfurt Airport to Stuttgart on ICE 619, in second class. The train was moderately busy, there were enough seats. The service on board was OK, there was free wifi, but no power sockets at the seat. The train was very clean and well maintained. As we had to wait for an oncoming train to pass, there was a delay of about 20 minutes. Beyond that, it was a pleasant ride that I would do again anytime.

The wifi was even free of charge. The train had no delays. It was tidy and clean. Nothing can be said against the journey time of just under three hours. The same applies to the relatively low ticket price. I can highly recommend the trip.

The train journey was generally quite good. I had good wifi and also two sockets behind my seat. But the seat was not comfortable at all. It was really hard and didn't smell good either.

The staff was friendly and gave me information on demand. I had a reservation option. The toilets were really very clean. I didn't have to change trains, but the train was late and very expensive. Nevertheless, price-performance is OK.
