By train to the plane: now even easier. Bookings with Lufthansa Express Rail now include the Deutsche Bahn (DB) City-Ticket. This allows customers to also use local public transportation during their trip. Lufthansa boarding passes are also valid for travel by bus, tram, underground and suburban railway to and from the Express Rail station.

All Lufthansa Express Rail destinations except Siegburg and Basel will receive the convenient upgrade. In a total of 26 German cities, customers can use local public transportation before and after their trip. The City-Ticket is valid on the day of validity once in each direction for the trip to the Express Rail station or from there to the destination of the trip.

Demand for Lufthansa Express Rail has risen continuously in recent years. In 2024 alone, around 500,000 passengers used the service for their arrival and departure at Frankfurt Airport. With the integration of the City-Ticket, Lufthansa and DB are further enhancing their intermodal offering.

Lufthansa Express Rail is part of a more than 20-year cooperation between Lufthansa and DB. With just one booking step, customers can purchase a combined ticket for train and flight and thus conveniently use the train as a shuttle to Frankfurt Airport from a total of 28 cities in Germany. This means that Lufthansa Express Rail connects more than twice as many cities in Germany as Lufthansa currently serves by air. Every day, DB and Lufthansa offer more than 240 ICE connections with a Lufthansa flight number (codeshare numbers).
