I'm sorry, I was referring to Germans that head down to Mallorca for a weekend to get shitfaced. It doesn't make sense that a train ride from Hamburg to Munich costs 5 times as much as a flight from Hamburg to Mallorca.

Inner European flights are also important, until we have a dedicated highspeed train network that connects all of Europe's larger cities with each other.

To be clear, I am all pro trains. In Spain trains are also 3 to 5 times more expensive than the same trip on a plane which I find bizarre
