Lufthansa | Wikipedia

Lufthansa has announced the expansion of its intermodal partnership with Deutsche Bahn (DB), Germany’s national railway company, enabling passengers to conveniently utilize public transportation.

On March 4, Lufthansa stated that bookings with Lufthansa Express Rail, namely its partnership with DB, will now include DB’s City Ticket. As a result, customers can now use local public transportation during their journeys, making Lufthansa’s boarding passes valid on buses, trams, underground trains, and suburban railways to and from a Lufthansa 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. ”

ITA Airways has partnered with GO7 to enable its passengers to book a flight and train ticket on flights to Frankfurt Airport (FRA).

Rising demand

Lufthansa expressed that in recent years, demand for its Lufthansa Express Rail has risen continuously. In 2024, around 500,000 travelers used the service to arrive or leave Frankfurt Airport (FRA), with the integration of the City Ticket only pushing the Lufthansa–DB partnership even further.

“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. ”
