My journey on the FlixTrain from Berlin to Ulm was positive overall. I was particularly impressed by the favourable price and the ability to easily reserve a seat. The cleanliness of the train was also surprisingly good and the free wifi worked reliably. Compared to other providers, the journey felt simpler but still organised. I had the flexibility to book the journey online without any problems. I found the seating comfort less pleasant, as the upholstery was quite hard and the legroom was rather tight for longer journeys. Nevertheless, I would use the connection again due to the price-performance ratio. All in all, a great and recommendable journey!

My journey on the FlixTrain from Berlin to Ulm was very pleasant and surprisingly comfortable overall. I was particularly impressed by the free wifi, the clean carriages and the comfortable seats, which are also suitable for longer journeys. The favourable price compared to Deutsche Bahn is definitely a big plus. The staff were also friendly and helpful, which made the journey even more enjoyable. The on-board climate was pleasant and the furnishings were modern. The only downside: the train was unfortunately significantly late on departure, which is unfavourable on a long route. All in all, however, a good price-performance ratio for anyone who can travel a little flexibly.

The journey on the FlixTrain from Berlin to wifi was pleasant overall, and the free wifi in particular worked reliably throughout the journey. I found the quiet atmosphere in the carriage particularly positive - even with many fellow travellers, it remained surprisingly quiet. The views through parts of Thuringia and Baden-Württemberg were varied and made the journey very relaxing. The temperature in the train was well regulated, neither too warm nor too cool, which was very pleasant in the summer weather. The train staff were also friendly and helpful, especially when announcing the late arrival. However, the delay of almost half an hour without a clear explanation was less pleasant. Overall, however, the positive impressions outweigh the negative ones, so I would choose FlixTrain again for this route.

Unclean seating area

This journey was okay. The train was on time, but I had the impression that the cleaning was done very superficially. There was rubbish on my seat from the day before and the floor was sticky. The journey itself was fine and the silence in the carriage was pleasant. There was a working drinks machine, which I found practical. Unfortunately, there was an unpleasant smell of toilet in the neighbouring carriage, which was also noticeable during the transition. The journey was functional, but not really pleasant.

speed

For the sake of the environment, I didn't want to fly and travel by train to the registry office - a mistake. The train was much slower than the plane & I couldn't work at all because the internet was far too slow. It was impossible to use, so I just sat and waited. Unfortunately, it's almost impossible to time appointments well with Deutsche Bahn. That's why I will now fly again and again and only use the DB privately when I have more time.

Advantages

comfort

I sat on the seat, it was very clean. There was no rubbish lying around. The floor and the surroundings looked very clean. My journey went very well. Later, I was hungry and ordered something to eat. I ate my food and fell asleep for a while. Then I went on the internet and spent some time. The internet was very strong and fast. I felt comfortable. I felt very comfortable and at ease. Moreover, I arrived on time. For all the reasons, I can recommend my second class journey.

After a while, I ordered something to eat and a drink, both of which arrived quickly and fresh. Moreover, the prices on the menu were good. The wifi was very okay. I was very well equipped with sockets at the site. The toilets were clean. My journey took about three and a half hours and everything ran on time. There's nothing I can complain about, so it's five stars and I recommend this ride endearingly.

Disadvantages

Delay

I can't find anything negative about this trip, I rate it four stars because there was one small thing that didn't fit and that was the delay of the train, everything else was great. The seats were very comfortable. The staff were very nice and provided good service. I ordered a coffee which arrived very quickly, was fresh and very reasonably priced. Many passengers used the wifi, but it was still great. It was very clean on the train. We had a stopover at Munich central station, and after a few minutes we were on our way. The atmosphere during the journey was great and the view was very nice. I recommend this trip despite the delay as it was the only negative thing.
