Flying in Europe is now basically similar to taking a bus, even for all the full service airlines as well. It's only on a handful of international routes to Asia where you can get a nice level of service if you opt for the higher classes. In ever aspect there is very little comfort in plane travel these days, whereas train travel is generally more comfortable and with better services.
- HPsquared 3y agoIt makes sense that if you spend longer onboard, it's got to be more comfortable.
- bobthepanda 3y agoNo, European short-haul is uniquely not comfortable. European business class for example, is often just a triple economy-row seat and maybe the middle seat is blocked off. This is different from, say, American business, which is not great when comparing globally, but is at least a bigger seat with more seat pitch.
- witchesindublin 3y agoThis is not really true for most long haul flights though, even the ones to Asia if you take economy class. At this point you are just paying for the speed of intercontinental travel over oceans and unstable regions, which obviously buses and trains can't compete with currently. The only situation where a flight is notably more comfortable than a bus or train is business class and first class on a handful of long haul routes of certain Asian airlines.
