Hanover to Frankfurt Airport. Today I travelled with my son from Hanover to Frankfurt Airport to look at aeroplanes. We took the Intercity Express (ICE), which was on time. The train was very busy because it was holiday time. There were sockets at the seats to charge your mobile phone. And the wifi worked perfectly. The train had clean toilets and was air-conditioned. The compartment was clean, but it was a bit noisy because of the occupancy. We ordered cocoa and coffee in the on-board bistro. The staff were very nice to us. I booked the journey via the deutsche bahn app, where I was also able to pre-book seats for an extra charge. We had to change trains once in Frankfurt to the S9 to Wiesbaden, which took us to our destination after a 10-minute journey.
Advantages
IconThe ICE was on time
IconSeat reservation
IconVery convenient with wifi
Disadvantages
IconToo many intermediate stops
The train ride with the ICE in the morning was very pleasant, the ICE was on time for once and there were not many people on the train, which made it additionally very pleasant. The wifi connection was very stable and good, especially the information about the route was very interesting to me. Gladly again.
