Advantages
CleanDisadvantages
NoneWas a rather pleasant, fast and comfortable journey. The facilities are top, as there is free wifi for everyone throughout the journey. Price-performance ratio also top, of course the further you travel, the more expensive, but really just top.
The train also arrived on time. The seats and the train were also very clean. The seats were also very comfortable.
You can also store your luggage very well. You can also make reservations online and at the station.
Advantages
Good equipment of the trainHelpful staffDisadvantages
NothingAn absolutely pleasant journey from Stuttgart to Frankfurt airport.
We left on time and finally arrived at our destination station on time.
I found the journey itself generally very pleasant and the train staff extremely competent and helpful. During my train journey, I grabbed a coffee in the on-board bistro, where I found the price-performance ratio to be very good. The train was very thoroughly cleaned and generally the equipment on the train, including the power sockets, was fully functional. Thumbs up for a pleasant train ride!
Advantages
NoneDisadvantages
UnpunctualityUnfortunately, I was very dissatisfied with the train connection from Stuttgart main station to Frankfurt am Main airport. When I left Stuttgart, the ICE was already more than 30 minutes late and I therefore missed my connecting train. I was also not too happy with the service provided by Deutsche Bahn, as I did not receive any compensation for this delay and had an unfriendly advisor on the customer service phone. After this negative experience, I would not travel by train from Stuttgart to Frankfurt again.
Advantages
Fast connectionEasily cancellableComfort Check-InDisadvantages
Train unpunctualityThe seats on the train are comfortable and if you have a seat with a table, there is enough space to work.
The DB staff are always friendly and courteous.
The board bistro offers a wide selection of drinks and food.
Unfortunately, the train is not always on time and the wifi connection is not always stable.
Advantages
SpeedDisadvantages
PunctualityUnfortunately, on my last journey from Stuttgart to Frankfurt, the train was over 20 minutes late. As a result, I missed my connecting train in Frankfurt. The comfort and speed of the journey was fine, but the unpunctuality for to two star deduction.
Advantages
On timeShort driveCleanFriendly staffDisadvantages
Expensive food in the restaurantIt was a very pleasant journey. The train was on time at the destination station. The staff were very friendly. The seats in the ICE were very comfortable and equipped with a power socket. The wifi on the train also worked well. The selection of the on-board restaurant is very large, although the prices for food and drinks are very high. Seats as well as the toilet were very clean. The train journey is very worthwhile, considering that you can't get from Stuttgart to Frankfurt nearly as quickly and cheaply by car.
Advantages
Price-performance ratiobeautiful viewMy ticket cost around €30.00, which is cheap, but there are cheaper tickets, but not with such a performance. So I really liked the price-performance ratio. The staff were also very humorous. The seats were very comfortable and it was quiet on the train so you could fall asleep. The wifi had full bars throughout and I had multiple access to power at my seat. There was a lot of choice of food. Great journey, I can only recommend it.
Advantages
CheapFlexible train selectionUnderstanding staffDisadvantages
Very fullTrain delaySlow internetThe journey from Stuttgart to Frankfurt Airport was full of ups and downs. The train was on its way as a replacement train and still picked up passengers from cancelled ICE trains. The train was accordingly almost overcrowded and very full. Fortunately, I still got a seat and started conversations with my seat neighbours, who were all very nice. The seat was comfortable and had enough space. The power sockets also worked, but unfortunately the wifi was slow, which was due to the amount of people. The train staff apologised for the inconvenience and showed understanding, which was very friendly. The train was also late, which was also apologised for. Thanks to the flex fare, I could take any train as a connection, so the delay was not bad.
Advantages
Environmental friendlinessComportSecurityDisadvantages
Limited availabilityOvercrowdingLimited flexibilityMy train journey was impressive with luxurious leather seats, plenty of legroom and power sockets for every need. The wifi was stable and the silence on board was worth its weight in gold. The friendly staff served gourmet treats, while the toilets were spotless and fragrant. Booking was a breeze. The journey time flew by in this cosy atmosphere. Everything worked out perfectly and I can wholeheartedly recommend this train journey.
Advantages
PunctualitySpeedPriceDisadvantages
Everything is great!We had a really nice journey, the train was cheap, fast, clean, punctual and not overcrowded. It was our first journey with Flixtrain, but since then we've done it more and more often. I can recommend it without reservation. There was electricity, wifi and snacks on board. The toilets were clean.
Advantages
SimpleDisadvantages
Train cancellationsAlthough there are many delays and sometimes even entire train cancellations, it's still worth travelling with DB. It's all very simple and you don't have to do anything but sit back and enjoy the journey. There is plenty of space at the seats. There is also a power socket and a small table of your own. You also have wifi throughout the train. So all in all, it's still good value for money
