I am very satisfied with my journey from Frankfurt Airport to Düsseldorf. The train was fast, comfortable and clean. I also liked the service on board. On the negative side, the train was slightly late in Düsseldorf, the train was very busy and the wifi didn't work well. All in all, however, I would choose the Deutsche Bahn train for this route again any time.
