However, airports like Frankfort, Schiphol, and Paris-CDG; have train transport from the airport.

I could have used my own truck which has a canopy, but I did not want to leave it at the airport or long-term parking for 2 months. On most return flights at the end of our tours we ride from the airport to the train station, take the train to a nearby town, and then ride the 35 miles home. It is a nice way to wind down from a long tour. We have also ridden home from the airport.
. 👌 Great idea. four mattresses how could that fail. Better than my sleeping bag that did not. I might have to ride about 8 Km to my b and b from where the tram line ends. Most would take a taxi, I guess. Why wait when I can be there.
