(There are flights which go e.g. Seattle -> Amsterdam -> Strasbourg, so it is not redundant to Paris). If you wonder how I came up with Zürich, my first instinct was to say "Basel" because of the great train connection but then I realized there is no convenient way to fly Seattle -> Basel, so settled for the most convenient airport from which you can take that train route, without considering how much worse it makes the whole thing. | |

If you always wanted to enjoy a train ride at 320 km/h constantly for more than one hour, take the Paris option! Tickets typically start at around 49 Euro. You might want to take an ICE, not a TGV on this route because of comfort. | |

removed the suggestion that Zürich is the certain second best option

| Jan 27, 2018 at 12:01 | comment | added | rumtscho | Indeed, I forgot that the TGV from Paris goes through Karlsruhe. As for Stuttgart, I guess I underestimated how well connected it is. I think I will change my answer instead of deleting, since the train booking info is not covered elsewhere. | |
| Jan 27, 2018 at 11:33 | comment | added | dirkk | Thinking further about this: Even Paris CDG has a faster train connection to Karlsruhe than Zurich. I really don't see any reason to fly to Zurich (also keeping in mind that flying to Zurich is usually more expensive, because they charge higher fees to the operating airlines) | |
| Jan 27, 2018 at 11:18 | comment | added | dirkk | Sorry, but I have to downvote this because you advice doesn't make sense to me. I don't get why Karlsruhe or Stuttgart should be less convenient and you argument that they only have a layover in Frankfurt is plain wrong (Stuttgart is a quite big airport, it could easily be some connection seattle->madrid->stuttgart). Even disregarding this, there are big airports in basel and Köln/Bonn, all of which have a faster (and cheaper) train connection to Karlsruhe than Zurich. | |
