Text / Compiled and Reported by Li Xinyi, MOOK Scenic Spots Family Travel Network

Germany is a global hub for international business exhibitions. Right after the summer break, a new wave of trade show season kicks off. At the end of August, there’s the bicycle show in Friedrichshafen, the consumer electronics show in Berlin in September, the massive book fair in Frankfurt in October, the medical equipment exhibition in Düsseldorf in November, and even the triennial Munich Bakery Show also takes place in September. During the peak exhibition season, flight tickets are always hard to come by. Spotting this business opportunity, some operators have launched discounted train tickets — the German Rail Pass Trade Show Promotion offers first-class travel on any 2 days within a month for just €156 (approximately NT$5,844), which is even more economical than a one-way ticket.

Traveling by European trains is highly convenient. Unlike taking domestic flights that involve complicated procedures and waiting for connecting flights, you can simply head to the train station at Frankfurt Airport. With frequent train services and no need to wait for seats, it only takes 3 hours to reach Hanover, 3.5 hours to Munich, and just 1 hour to Cologne. FlyDai Travel’s European Rail Pass offers a Trade Show Promotion Ticket for business travelers — a German Rail Pass that allows first-class travel on any 2 days within a month for €156. This price is more cost-effective compared to one-way point-to-point train tickets. For example, a one-way first-class ICE high-speed train ticket from Frankfurt to Cologne costs about €117 (approximately NT$4,383), and to Munich, it’s around €162 (approximately NT$6,070).

And for those who want to explore Europe again, FlyDai Travel’s “Travel by Train” website is holding an essay submission event titled “Autumn = Time to Fall in Love with European Train Travel” from now until the end of August. Participants who submit their essays will have a chance to win a “French Rail Pass — first-class travel on any 4 days within a month” worth €234 (nearly NT$9,000).
