Wrong, even in the USA. See the airports around New York, JFK in Queens-Idlewild and EWR in New Jersey -- they have rail links. All four most important airports in Europe do have rail links to the world - Heathrow (London), Roissy (CDG) de Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam. And besides these, many others. In Germany: Cologne, D�sseldorf, Hannover, Halle-Leipzig, Berlin-Sch�nefeld and soon Hamburg. Then again in Britain, Birmingham-International, London-Gatwick, London-Stanstead. Madrid-Barajas has, as far as I know, a subway line (or two) serving the airport. In New York JFG, 13% of passengers use the rail link, in Frankfurt am Main, 27.9% of passengers departing there use rail to get to the airport. For most of these airports, a good rail link to the world on the ground is essential, and some could not really function without it. You know about the difference between prejudice and factual knowledge? Cheers, L.W.
