For some short routes, rail can be competitive once airport transfers, security time, baggage and city-centre arrival are included.
Large airports become less stressful when you understand check-in deadlines, security, terminal transfers, gate changes and the route to ground transport.

A good connection balances price with realistic transfer time, airport layout, baggage rules and the consequences of a missed onward flight.
