Real life train or plane 3
Recently I had a meeting at Geneva Airport, and another the next day at Zurich Airport. I travelled between the two by train.
My meeting in Geneva finished at 15:45: I caught the 16:05 train to Zurich Airport. This arrived at 19:20. My hotel was a short tram ride away, so I actually got there at 20:00, 4.25 hours after leaving my meeting in Geneva. The distance - by air - is 228 km: trains run every half hour.
Suppose I'd flown instead? Well, there's a flight at 15:05: I would have had to have re-scheduled my whole trip to make that. The next flight is 18:15. Yes, I'd have managed that easily: I would have had a couple of hours spare!
The flight is scheduled to arrive at Zurich at 19:05: since it is domestic, I could probably have reached my hotel at much the same time as I actually did.
So on that kind of journey, between airport office and airport hotel, timings were very similar because of the relative infrequency of flights.
