Honestly, it isn’t as bad at all. With no discounts, a night train (especially Mon - Wed) from Vienna to Hamburg is like 80€ in comparison to a flight that only goes as low as 120€, and that only if you book half a year in advance.
In all fairness, Hamburg probanly isn’t the cheapest destination by plane but I chose it because it’s somewhere I sometimes go.
I love the concept of a night train, but they’re so insanely expensive compared to flying. Wish we would stop subsidizing air travel so much.
