> In France some high speed trains go now directly to airports (CDG,LYO).

... The trains departing from there are mostly low-cost trains rather than trains meant to be connecting with flights, and people taking them have to move to CDG instead of a better location.

It seems to be a service aimed at salvaging the infrastructure rather than an actual useful service.

One of the best examples of air/train integration is Frankfurt, which has the high-speed trainstop underneath the airport. You are much faster on the train than getting into your car and you pretty much have an ICE going to Cologne, Hamburg or Munich (not sure about direct ones to Berlin), going every 45min or so.
