    Great video Markus. You say you don't like cars. From this video I'm assuming that includes Taxi and ride share services. Since I don't mind ride share JSX would have been pretty convenient for me. Something to consider is the limited routes and airports available. I live in San Diego and they don't provide service to Reno or Lake Tahoe from SD.

    • @MarkusTravels
      @MarkusTravels Před 27 dny

      When I originally planned this trip, I wanted to fly out of San Diego. But last year, I think they switched to another airport in the area, which was harder to reach. You are right, ride share would have been a better solution. I just really prefer public transportation when it's available.

    Amazing. You published this exactly at the time when I do gym so I have something to watch while on a threadmill. 😊. I am taking this seat on 777 to Buenos Aires and back this winter. I am only curious how comfortable would sleeping / resting be in this? Is the padding good enough?

    • @MarkusTravels
      @MarkusTravels Před 28 dny

      I did make a note about the padding, but forgot to mention it in the vide. It's hard, but comfortable. The idea was to test it also on the return, overnight flight, but that did not work out. The seat is certainly more comfortable for sleeping than a regular economy seat, because you're in a bit of a cocoon. And there's more space if you don't use the leg rest. But if you can snag an upgrade to business for a few hundred bucks, that's worth it on the overnight.

    Okay, let's see. No FF status. No real airport lounge. Charging for seat selection. No overhead bins. Having to go to a secondary airport. Economy class seats, I don't see any redeeming qualities compared to being a high status flyer on a major airline that gets access to real first class seats, lounges and customer service. Also, unless it's truly private I wouldn't feel comfortable with the lack of TSA.

      You get access to Salon Grand Voyageur if you have a first class Lyria ticket but that’s all. A standard first class TGV Inoui ticket for example does not grant you access. As I travel a lot with SNCF, I have the Grand Voyageur Le Club status, it allows me to use the salons even with a second class TER ticket. But these lounges are really below average, just ok to spend an hour or two if your train is delayed or if you have to wait for a connection. Still better than no nothing I guess but they are often very crowded. At Gare de Lyon, I’d rather go have a drink at Le Train Bleu if I have enough time.

    Emmm the TGV Duplex you traveled had the 2010 Interior. On the LGV Atlatique (It leaves Paris Montparnase to Burdeux and the Spanish border) had the newer Interior caled "Oceane" which are im my opinion much better.If youe loking for something more modern that would be your choise!!!.

      Excellent advice! I have actually been looking at taking the train to Spain, and it seems like taking the TGV is indeed a good option. I just wish they had night trains between Switzerland and Spain!

    Not drinking on a train? It's like not drinking at a party! At least you got some tea down you gullet? Otherwise would not be so cool. Besides, I like drinking most things, for example, I like drinking sausce, it fuels me well. Not drinking on a train? Scary thought!

    I like you go on every detail and show galley snack I like that but let me tell you something in Star alliance from Europe I like Austrian airlines business class the others are not something special maybe after Austrian then SWISS but LH is horrible in my opinion outdated products it been more than 10 years they are talking to change business class and till now nothing SAS its ok but nothing special however if you want something really luxury you should fly ASIAN OR Middle Eastern Carrier or TURKISH WHICH IS REALLY GOOD I am talking about business class also regarding compensation welcome to Europe Stingy culture they don't like to compensate unless if its something really big in Europe that culture doesn't exist try one time AF business class new business class cabin with privacy door but make sure you get right plane since not all of their airplanes fly with new cabin who you are going to review next?

    Totally agree, Norrköping Resecentrum is not a place to hang out. Have been there many times due to my work at SMHI-Göteborg but some meetings are at the head office. But always with train. Thanks for the bus info, I have not been on the Bus4You, but will try it from Göteborg to Oslo.

    • @MarkusTravels

      Bus4You is actually not a bad choice between Norrköping and Gothenburg. It saves you from changing train in Katrineholm. Plus you get the great views of Vättern!
