Better to combine air and trains trips is an objective presented by the SNCF, especially to go better to professional customers. Train + Air’s offer makes it possible to combine in the same reserve of trains and airplanes travel (with 14 associated companies, including Air France).

Everything is reserved at the same time as the flight
Specifically, “the reservation takes place with the chosen airline on its online site when entering the name of the starting or arrival station on the main search screen for flights. The price of the ticket depends on the flight and the chosen ouigo train, knowing that all the reserves will include the additional luggage options and OUIFUN with access to the Wi -Fi,” explains the operator.
“With this combined ticket, the train is reserved at the same time as the flight, and the correspondence time is taken into account. In the case of a failed correspondence after a delay in the train or the plane, the airline offers a postponement at an upcoming time,” he continues.
The airline that has issued the combined ticket is the only contact and admits the client in all its steps.
Lyon-Saint-Exupéry should not be the only airport in question. According to Jérome Laffon, Ouigo managing director, this Ouigo+air service will extend to “other air centers.”
