All of them are operated between Tianjin Railway Station and Changchun Railway Station. Usually, passengers are advised to choose the overnight sleeper trains including K127, K2287/K2288, K547/K548, and K1548. Traveling by any of them can save the day time and one-night accommodation fee. A sleeper is highly recommended for this journey and sleeper tickets should be purchased as early as possible.

 Direct flights between the two cities take about 2 hours for a single journey. When a discount is offered by the airlines, ticket fare for an economy class seat can be low to CNY250 or so. In this case, flights can be a quite competitive choice. If count in the travel time to/from the airport and time for boarding, total consumed time of flight has no much difference from bullet trains. Normal trains, especially overnight sleeper trains are preferable options for budget travelers.
