As somebody who flights today a 2h flight....

checks map again

13h hours car drive (without stops so probably more)

checks public transport

11h 30 in train with at least 4 or more trains changes....

Nope.... Still faster by plane, well unless they cancel it or similar ..

Flight is airport to airport. You neither live or reside at either airport. Measure door to door for a more accurate comparison, I don't fly from my driveway to my destinations back garden when I get a plane. I have to gget to the airport on a train, check in, go through security, wait for delays, wait at baggage collection and get a cab on the other side.

It's not going to change the outcome but if you're going to use numbers to measure a difference, try to consider all the facts.

Oh yeah sure.

In my case even adding the time on airport reaching it etc and even with my shitty connections as I live in a small town still much less. Of course that changes if there is a cancellation or similar.

And those numbers I provided was the car/train from big city to big city near airport of departure and arrival. Not the towns I end up going to, because they are much less.communciqted and adds more time.
