Am planning to travel to Venice from W. Switzerland by Cisalpino. As the journey is quite long and a special occasion for my girlfriend and me was thinking about traveling first class. Is a six hour rail journey made bearable sitting in first? Does the first class carriage compare with that of the TGV "Ligne de Coeur" coaches? Thanks for any info.

Good afternoon, Haae not rravelled on<BR>the TGV,s, however have taken the <BR>Cisalpino from Venice to Switzerland.<BR>It was a very confortable train and<BR>we did have dinner on the train as our<BR>arrival in Zurich was about 0900pm.<BR>However in more recent years have taken<BR>air from Zurich to Venice and VS as<BR>well as Venice to Lugano and VS. it<BR>took 35 mins to Lugano and about 55 min<BR>to Zurich. Certainly air beats rail<BR>which would take 5 -6 hours........<BR>Richafd of LaGrange Park, Il...<BR>
