So frustrating..... I am willing to fly less 🌱 🌍 to the extent that I have been looking to travel by train 🚅 and ferry ⛴️ from Amsterdam to Palma de Mallorca for a hiking holiday in May.

Total cost:
70 euros for the train to Bruxelles
592 euros for the train to Barcelona
90 euros for a ferry return.

Makes 752 euros, compared to 178 for a return flight on the same dates.... which means I will be looking into another destination instead 😥

I considered an interrail pass with seat reservations but all viable trains are sold out for interrail passengers
@pkuipersmunneke Plus the time you spend travelling instead of enjoying your vacation (unless you add that as the vacation). I feel your pain.
