WIFII opted for this connection because I didn't feel like changing trains, and it worked out really well. The journey was pleasant overall. The comfort was okay, I sat quite well, even if it could have been a bit more comfortable. Wifi was available, but the connection was rather wifi. The view en route was really nice, which I liked. The volume was usually pleasantly quiet. I thought the price-performance ratio was fair and I would book again.

Lack of wifiI had to travel from Ulm to Munich for a presentation. I had planned to prepare the presentation on the way, but unfortunately this wasn't possible as the wifi on the train was down. On the other hand, the train was on time and not very busy. The toilet facilities were very clean. There was a word bistro where I could buy something to eat. The prices are disappointingly very expensive. The value for money is completely reasonable in my opinion.

It was partly fullThe wifi was partially interruptedThe journey was pleasant for the most part, even if it did get quite crowded at times and it was difficult to find a quiet seat. Nevertheless, the comfortable seats and the generous distance to the neighbour made sitting relaxed. I particularly liked how clean the train was and how friendly the staff were when I had questions. The large windows provided plenty of light during the day and beautiful views during the journey. One small loss was the repeated interruptions to the wifi.

There was no bistro, which fortunately wasn't too bad on the short journey. The staff seemed more stressed than helpful. View was okay, but nothing special. The price was just within reason. It wasn't a total washout like I've experienced before, but relaxed is a different story.

gives nothingI travelled to Munich because I was visiting the Oktoberfest. I travelled from my sister's with the FlixTrain to Munich ZOB. From there I travelled by public transport, which you can use with the Deutschlandticket. The train and the toilets were very clean. I was particularly pleased with the free power sockets. I also thought it was particularly great that there was free wifi to use. The train was only a few minutes late. There was no on-board restaurant. I paid around €50 for my return ticket. I was super happy, great value for money. It's great that there are still such cheap options like FlixTrain!

Rubbish bins were not emptiedNo internet connection availableI was able to travel from Ulm to Munich on the regional express train without having to change trains. The number of passengers was also low, so there was a pleasant atmosphere on the train. The seats were comfortable and there were power sockets but unfortunately no internet connection. The corridors were clean and the toilets looked hygienic. It bothered me that the rubbish bins had not been emptied, so it was a bit smelly. Otherwise, the train arrived in Munich on time. I can definitely recommend the journey.

Train had a high occupancy, no more seats availableI took the regional express from Ulm to Munich because my ICE train was cancelled. So the journey took a little longer. The train itself was very clean, as were the toilets. However, there was the problem that it was very crowded and I had to stand.
