Many European airlines are now offering combined air and rail tickets, enabling travelers to book both modes of transportation on a single ticket. This development allows passengers to reach smaller cities not served by airlines or without airports.
One advantage of these combined tickets is that if a flight delay causes you to miss your train or vice versa, the airline typically takes responsibility for rebooking. Additionally, some programs allow travelers to earn airline miles on the train segment of their trip.
Train travel often proves less stressful than flying since it generally requires less time at the station and involves shorter security lines. Moreover, trains produce fewer emissions than planes, reducing the carbon footprint of trips.
