You should consider whether it is essential for you to get to your destination by the shortest and fastest route or if you are willing to travel a little longer if you pay less for it. Plan a time buffer to get to your connecting trains or destination, even if the train is late. If you don't feel like lugging around pesky suitcases, a luggage courier service is sure to come in handy. For an additional fee of €13.80, your luggage can be safely delivered to your destination before your train journey and handed over to you there. More valuable information about train travel, savings offers, and services can also be found on the official website of db fahrplanauskunft.
