The ride was great. Maybe a bit more announcement regarding the airport station.
Benam K.July 1, 2024
Le voyage en train était bien sympa. Mais je n'ai pas pu amener mes valises qui dépassaient 23 kilos. Quand mes enfants ont voulu payer le poids excédent, la dame qui les servait a refusé, soit disant qu'il n'y avait plus de temps. Et qu'ils devaient ajuster les poids.
