One difference is that a plane is quite easy to use. You have
someone that will (at least this has happened to me) stop you
if you try to enter the wrong flight. Then the plane moves,
and when it arrived everyone have to exit. With a train, you
have to pick the correct train, and then leave the train at
the correct stop. A bit more complicated to be honest. By
interacting with people, you often can handle the most
complicated train ride, but yes, it might be more complicated
with train.

Complication that, in many cases, is severely complicated by being tired, exhausted, and out of focus from a long flight.

95% of the people going to/from the airport are tourists, who do not
travel frequently, often don't understand Dutch, are nerveous and
exhausted.   They make it from/to the airport just fine.

And all this is before the local host even got a chance to provide
instructions on how to get to the conference location from the airport.

Belgium: an unsolvable problem, discussed in endless meetings, with no
         hope for a solution, where everybody still lives happily.
