It is becoming increasingly common for airlines to combine a train journey with a flight. This allows for even more connections and faster travel options across the world.
Depending on the airline you have selected, different rail providers may be involved, each with its own check-in procedures. We recommend following the instructions provided on the airline's website by retrieving your booking using your reservation number. There you will find information about the steps required to obtain your train tickets. Always follow these instructions carefully, as online check-in for the train or collecting your train tickets at the railway station may be mandatory.
Failure to do so may result in a fine or even denial of boarding on your connecting flight or train.
Below you will find information about several rail providers. Please note that this information is provided for guidance only. Always follow the instructions provided by the airline.
