Might be like that way in Germany, but in mainland France and Spain domestic flights are almost unheard of as the train is nearly always a better option and price is the same if you book in advance as you would for a plane ticket.
- bluGill 4y agoFor short, in-county trips the train station is normally more convenient than an airport, and there is less spent in security. Trains tend to run a lot more often, while planes are often only a few times per day. Thus a train is the same price, about as fast, and a lot more convenient. France and Spain have both invested in High Speed rail. Germany is behind there, the lack of speed on their train network. For humans time is a very important consideration.
