Asked by Ferdinand from GERMANY | Dec. 17, 2018 00:53

Is second class seat comfortable for 10 hours trip?

Or is it better to book a sleeper train? I do not want to take flight. Is there anyone tried 10 hours trip? Any advise? Thank you.

10 hours high speed ride is still tired unless you book a business class seat. However, the ticket price is much higher. In fact, if the time is suitable for you, there is one high speed ride with sleeper bed, D958. Though the ticket price is higher than second class seats, you can have a good rest. The price is cheaper than first class. Normal overnight ride T238 is cheaper but take 24 hours on the way. It is too time consuming.
