Man, I have to tell you about my train ticket from Stuttgart to Frankfurt - it was really awesome! First of all, the price was super fair. Then the wifi blew me away! I could surf, watch Netflix and even do my work the whole way. I really had no problems. Great stuff! And the punctuality was nothing to sneeze at either. The train arrived and departed on time - no stress, no hassle. That really made my day. The service was really friendly and courteous. The staff were helpful and took care of what I needed. The seats were mega comfortable. I could just lean back and relax without having to constantly change my position. Okay, now comes the small downer. The cleanliness on the train was not 100%. I mean, it wasn't dirty, but a little more attention would have been good.

Disadvantages
IconNothing to note
I still have fond memories of my train journey from Stuttgart to Frankfurt. This is because the train staff on that train were incredibly friendly. Since I still had to catch a connecting train after arriving in Frankfurt, I was a little nervous and unsure whether everything would work out. The train staff explained things to me in a very friendly and courteous manner and really took the time to solve my problem. The train was extremely well cleaned and I also had enough legroom and other space for my things at my seat. We arrived on time and I was absolutely thrilled with the train ride. Thumbs up in every respect.

IconOvercrowding
It was my first experience with FlixTrain and I was very pleasantly surprised, which I hadn't expected. It was a bit annoying that it was very crowded and the air conditioning only worked partially. However, you can't complain about the price. I've never travelled by train so cheaply. Apart from that, the staff were nice. We were just under 20 minutes late, which was definitely bearable.
