Comparatively, it was cheaper to choose either the domestic flight or the train ride. However, I don’t want to face the aftermath of missing the domestic flight. Thus, I decided to take the train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Part 6: About Deutsche Bahn<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In Germany, Deutsche Bahn is the train service that links cities in Europe together. In detail, there are two choices for seats \u2013 2nd class and 1st class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Part 7: Ticket Selection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I opted for the 1st class ticket as it included free seat reservation (which will otherwise cost an additional Euro 4.50 = SGD 7). At the same time, I get access to their lounges while waiting for the train to arrive. To seal the deal, it offers free \u201cno data limit\u201d WiFi on board. (Though I somehow exceeded their data limit in the end.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pro Tip: Choose Digital ticket when checking out from their website. Thereupon, you may show the ticket operator your digital ticket from the convenience of your smartphone.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
