Long journey timeI travelled from Frankfurt Airport to Stuttgart on the ICE 619. The train itself was in an exceptionally clean and well-maintained condition. It set off on time and also arrived in Stuttgart on time. The comfortable seats and balanced air conditioning made the journey extremely comfortable. The staff were all friendly. The only negative thing I found was the long journey time of almost three hours.

NoneIt was a thoroughly positive journey from Frankfurt Airport to Stuttgart on the ICE 619. The air conditioning provided a pleasant feeling of space. The train was on time for the entire journey.

Temporarily full trainThe train journey from Frankfurt Airport to Stuttgart with the ICE 619 was pleasant overall. The train was on time and the cleanliness inside was also convincing. The on-board catering was varied and tasty. The staff were friendly and helpful. The wifi was free to use. The only drawback was that the train was sometimes quite full, which led to crowding. Overall, however, a recommendable travel option.

Little delayMeagre selection at the bistroOverall, my train journey from Frankfurt Airport to Stuttgart was a pleasant experience. The comfort and service were satisfactory, although there is room for improvement here and there. If the food selection is expanded and punctuality is more closely adhered to, this would make the journey even more enjoyable. Nevertheless, I can recommend the train as a practical and environmentally friendly way to travel between these two places.

NoneBooking and reserving online was quite easy in my opinion. The train arrived on time and made a decent impression, once at my seat I put my bags down and made myself comfortable, the seats were quite comfortable and had a side pocket as well as an armrest. There was wifi and a power socket on the train so you could charge your laptop and work on it after a long flight. The toilet was well designed and looked hygienic. The windows were clean and it was quite quiet on the train, my full recommendation.

The service on board was OK, there was free wifi, but no power sockets at the seat. The train was very clean and well maintained. As we had to wait for an oncoming train to pass, there was a delay of about 20 minutes. Beyond that, it was a pleasant ride that I would do again anytime.

The wifi was even free of charge. The train had no delays. It was tidy and clean. Nothing can be said against the journey time of just under three hours. The same applies to the relatively low ticket price. I can highly recommend the trip.
