Expanding Seamless Travel Options in France

PARIS — Air France and the French National Railway Company (SNCF) have broadened their joint "Train + Air" service, introducing eight additional routes that link Paris airports with various French locales. This expansion enhances the existing service, which has been facilitating combined rail and air travel since the 1990s. Passengers can now enjoy a unified itinerary that includes both train and flight segments, with connections at Paris's primary airports: Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Orly (ORY).

The latest expansion brings the total to 41 SNCF train routes, now connecting 22 train stations directly to CDG and ORY airports. These new routes include services from Aix-en-Provence to Orly, as well as connections from Arras, Laval, and Lille to both CDG and ORY. Additionally, new links are established between Perpignan and CDG, complementing the pre-existing Aix-en-Provence-to-CDG service.

A Sustainable and Convenient Travel Solution

Air France emphasizes the convenience of the "Train + Air" service, ensuring passengers have a single booking for their entire journey. In case of delays, travelers are assured of a guaranteed seat on the subsequent flight or SNCF train without additional charges. This seamless integration of travel modes is aimed at providing a hassle-free experience for passengers traversing through France.

Furthermore, this service aligns with Air France's environmental initiatives, contributing to the airline's ambitious goal of reducing its carbon dioxide emissions. By offering a more sustainable travel option that combines rail and air transportation, Air France is committed to lowering its emissions by 30% per passenger-kilometer by 2030, using 2019 as the benchmark year.
