Flights VS. High Speed Trains
Direct flights usually take about 2.5 - 3 hours to transfer between the two cities. The flight tickets costs more than rail tickets in most cases, but it may be cheaper than the second class seat of bullet train in low season, when the flight will be a quiet good choice for those who travel in a hurry. However, tourists should have preparation for frequent flight delays.
