Advantages
Comfortable seatsNot too many passengersFood and drinks on boardDisadvantages
Partly chilly. You need a jumper.Unfortunately, luggage is far away from the seat on the IC and there is only room for jackets, not luggage, above the seatIt was a very pleasant journey. The toilets were very clean and you never had to queue. The seats can be reclined and you can lie down comfortably. Trains were on time. The journey took 11 hours. Price/performance was great, but I also booked very early. There were no sockets in the IC, only in the ICE.
