To be brutally honest, I’m surprised to see so many folks going to #ripe89 taking flights when from their departure point there are perfectly good train connections they could have taken. Been to Prague by train multiple times, always a pleasant journey and if you connect through Berlin you get the beautiful Elbe/Labem valley as a backdrop to your journey.

@benjojo I fully understand and am not arguing this option is viable for everyone travelling to a RIPE meeting, but for quite a few folks it is. And airline prices are way too low, not reflecting actual cost (to society and to the environment). So my argument would be: if you reasonably can, prefer the train, and if you’re willing, go the extra mile (even if it takes longer).
