Product Description
──Lufthansa Airport Express zero altitude flight
- The Lufthansa Airport Express is a train operated by German Federal Railways (DB) chartered by German airline Fulthansa.
- Since it was operated as an alternative to short-distance routes, it was treated as an [air flight] and an airline ticket was required to board it.
- Operated from 1982 to 1993 and connected Düsseldorf Airport - Frankfurt Airport (Dussedorff Line) in about 2.5 hours.
-In-flight services were provided by Lufthansa cabin crew instead of DB crews, providing in-flight meals and other services equivalent to those offered by airlines.
- The occupancy rate was also good, and we were able to enjoy scenery such as old castles along the Rhine River that cannot be seen from an airplane.
