    With the 8hr sleep rule a night train would probably be the best solution. Possibly flying into Milan, get the 2 in Switzerland, the one in Southern Germany (around Freiburg) and then the night train to Amsterdam.

    Should we tell them that there is a train from Helsingborg down along the coast and then across the bridge to Copenhagen Airport? There was no need to take the ferry back and then take a taxi or train to the airport (and certainly no need to stop at Copenhagen Central!)…

    It takes between 1h04 and 1h30.

    Deeply in need of a new TLDR show hosted by Jan and Scarlett (Ben is allowed to make guest appearances). Incredible banter.

    why do you copy someones idea without mentioning the yt chanel that made this idea (im talking abt jetlag) so if you dont wanna get striked but yt then i recomend asking jet lag for permission and mentioning them in the first link

    Loving the series! It's so well edited. It's been really clear to follow who is doing what, where and when. Kudos for the excellent graphics, colour schemes and overall context setting. And I am loving THE DRAMA!

    typical deutsche bahn experience at 14:33, one train is on time, one is 15 mins delayed and the third one is cancelled (=fällt aus)

    As someone living in Germany I was really surprised when the ICE from team red was a few minutes late. I instinctively assumed that it would be 2 hours late like normal!

    Constrictive criticism.5 episodes, probably to many. Still like it though.

    i feel so bad for all parties when these groups of random people show up at the door and give packages. The person who answers who speaks varying English. And the actual fan who ordered and missed a chance to meet some of the people from TLDR

  25. @jrsmeets

    Additional support from Sam Denby, Adam Chase and Ben Doyle. So actually a Jet Lag spin off.
