    8h city center to city center is pretty comparable to 4h flight 2h wait beforehand, 30m bag collection, and 2x45m to and from the airport

      Also 8h is sleeper train territory. Don’t consider it a vehicle, consider it a hotel teleporting you from city to city.

        Sleeper trains are peak luxury travel right after private jets and yachts.

          Since this is a direct route and you don’t have to change trains it isn’t that much of a luxury. Just bring some headphones a pillow and an alarm on your phone and you can comfortably sleep through the journey.

          Sleeper trains are 40 eur for a dorm, and you skip on having to pay a hotel. That’s not luxury travel.

            Not if luxury means expensive only. But being transported in bed from city to city sounds like luxury to me ever if it’s a cheap.
