TUI is going with night trains to these 6 European cities

This is really particularly nice news for a person like me with a fear of flying. Fortunately, that fear is not so bad that I don't get on the plane, but I still find traveling by train so much nicer. Just take your suitcase to the station, get on, and not have to get up again until you reach your destination. I find that much more relaxing than those gigantic (especially the last week has been the case) lines for check-in and the scan for your hand luggage (and of course you are the one who gets picked out and has to take off your shoes).

TUI apparently understands that frustration, and that's why they are starting night trains to no less than six European cities on May 25: Copenhagen, Prague, Vienna, Venice, Milan, and Florence. These trains will depart from Amsterdam and Utrecht and leave at half past four in the afternoon or eight o'clock in the evening. How wonderfully clear this is, I must say. The next morning you will arrive at your destination between eight and eleven o'clock.

TUI has entered into a partnership with GreenCityTrip (part of Flywise) for this, which has been offering night trains to various European destinations since October. That turned out to be a great success (extra trains even had to be deployed) and now with TUI on board, that will probably only increase.

I understand, because I will definitely plan a train trip this year. Mark May 11 in your calendar, because then the tickets for these six cities will go on sale and that could go very quickly.
