Is it realistic to travel within Germany by plane?
Would it be right/normal to travel across Germany, for example, by plane?
I've never really heard of anything like that before but I've always wondered about it.
For me, an airplane is just a means of travel to other countries.
Look at the schedule. It will show you about a third of what was usual on domestic flights by 2019.
From Frankfurt to
Bremen, Hamburg, Hanover, Munich, Nuremberg, Dresden, Leipzig, Düsseldorf, Stuttgart, Berlin… and Munich again…
Before Corona there were massive domestic flights with many airlines
Should we at best reject for ecological and even for temporal reasons
Inter-German flights often make sense. Where the train has picked up.
Jo is probably quite individual, so from me from Ruhrpott to Berlin is definitely much faster with the Flixtrain.
But you always have to calculate the check-in and the whole waiting period so that it would probably not even be great for me if I lived directly in Düsseldorf near airport
Yeah, it depends on where you live and how the connection is.
A colleague needs a few minutes by train from home to the airport. He saves time, for example, to Berlin by plane. I need over an hour to get to the airport. With the ICE I already drove a good turn towards Berlin. The train itself needs longer, but overall I need longer with arrival etc. with flying. And on the train, I can work something that is not going to happen when flying.
You don't seem to know that in Germany – at least until 2019 – a whole lot of aircraft traveled daily, for example between Munich, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Cologne, Hamburg and Berlin.
Unfortunately, I cannot tell you how the number of INNland flights has evolved in the context of the Corona sense. But I'm sure you can still fly from Munich to Berlin.
Basically, all German cities have an airport, ie HAM, BER, DRS, HAJ, DUS, FRA, STR, MUC, but there are also airports in FFH (Hahn), FDH, GWT, BRE to name just a few.
Not from any airport to any airport or there were direct flights and not every connection makes sense.
From FRA to STR or DUS you are faster by car or train; you have to go from door to door and if you need 2 hours of car it sounds great, 30 minutes flight long, but you still have to make the way to the airport and from the airport plus the time you need to be there before departure, the security and the possibly long paths at the terminal; you have two more hours on the clock.
But if you want from MUC to HAM or GWT, you're sure to be faster with the plane, except your always arrival to the airport takes 2 hours…
Of course, German flights are normal.
Yes, there are a lot of domestic flights. They are particularly popular for business trips between major cities. In recent years, the railway has been quite uplifted and is often competitive.
So I have a job-related (!) eg an appointment in Düsseldorf in the morning, a training in Berlin at noon and the next day a training in Munich, where I have been flying in the evening … with a car via the traffic jam car I can't do it in time because it takes too long and unfortunately too expensive! Train is also not an alternative… What would your proposal – except flying? O
PS: Date shift, etc. is not possible!
It is completely normal if you take a flight of 2 hours instead of a 10 hour drive. I always did that to my home country. That is why there are also international flights.
Why not? Ursula from the Leyen also takes a plane for 50 km.
