The wife wants a week in Berlin for end of April. So....ok....I did the price comparison to get there.
1st-class ICE train....there and back....880 Euro for two. My trust in ICE getting me there and back with NO issues? Near 10-percent.
2nd-class Lufthansa mid-afternoon tickets...380 Euro for two (round-trip)...flying out of Frankfurt. But they wanted 70 Euro per bag...per person (that was my only grumble).
Each has a assigned risk factor.
You have to get to the Frankfurt airport...on a Sunday. My wife is anti-taxi, and normally anti-bus/tram. Once there....you have to do the bag-drag....then pass security.
The railway there? You have to assume the local train will 'work' but some screw-up on ICE will occur. The snack-wagon on ICE? Crap.
Lufthansa or Bahn strike? Well...you factor in this problem as well.
If you rode the train into Berlin....then you have the broke escalator issue going on, and the crime scene at the station to contend with (same or more so....for Frankfurt).
I told the wife....would be a lot simpler to fly into Egypt.
