    Because that’s most of the travel between European capitals, especially including government and institution work.

    Tourism is a drop in a bucket.

        I don’t, but I image they exist. It’s a pretty big industry.

        Anyway, try taking an easily morning or late afternoon flight/international train on a weekday between any two European capitals and you’ll see.

        Of course, things are completely reversed if you travel during holidays, to/from holiday destinations and/or using holiday travel airlines.

          Stockholm – Helsinki doesn’t seem that way. Tourists, people visiting friends and family in the other country, some business people. I fly regularly, in the morning, during the day, and in the evening, on weekdays and weekends.

      I flew Prague -> Brussels once and perhaps a third of the plane seemed to be commuting government people. It might have been due to the time of week though.
