The
"Fliers"
In addition to these special excursions, H-L Schnellverkehr also offers "no frills" travel between Hamburg, Germany and Frankfurt, A.M., Germany via Der Fliegende Hamburger ("Flying Hamburger"), between Frankfurt, A.M., and Basel, Switzerland via Der Fliegende Frankfurter ("Flying Frankfurter"), and between Basel and Vienna, Austria via Der Fliegende Wiener ("Flying Wiener"). Most of the seating on these "Flyers" is third class, however some second class seating is available. In addition, on most of the "Flyers" first class accomodations are available in the Kino am Zug ("Cinema on the Train"). This car features both classic and first run films in a setting reminiscent of Hollywood screening rooms of the 1930's.
