Now the state railway sock puppet on LinkedIn, to me:
“I think that you systematically overestimate the difficulties by travelling by train and underestimate the complexity and total price for an airtrip.”
I’m so totally done with people in this damned industry.
My social media, my inbox full of people struggling with rail booking. But ah no. No problem. I’m actually underestimating the complexity of air trips.
@jon As far as I can see you’re not overestimating but describing from practice. You can concede the point about airtrips as being not relevant to a sustainable lifestyle.
@patrick I just described the complexity of booking a Berlin to Nuits sous Ravieres trip. How I leave more time for changes one way than another. How I can’t be sure AJC will work. How I can’t get one ticket to guarantee rights. Sure, not every passenger does this, but I do - because OUT OF EXPERIENCE I know if I don’t I can be stuck and out of pocket!
@jon I’ll share todays counterpoint with you on Saturday. It’ll reinforce your point.
@jon @patrick yeah sure, I meant it as an illustration of what you were saying, not "you're doing it wrong". I love train travel and try to avoid flying wherever possible, but they don't make it easy.
That said, to your original point I think a lot of people do think of flying as just airport to airport and not door to door. Still needs to be easier and cheaper. The 49€ ticket here helps a bit.
