The UAE Combines Rail and Air to Explore 100 European Cities

The booking period runs from now until March 29, with departure dates from March 15, 2017 to November 30, 2017. Ticket prices vary depending on the season. Through the “Spring Travel Europe: Discover a New World” campaign exclusively for economy class passengers offered by Emirates, economy travelers can visit France for as low as NT$16,111 (excluding tax), then take the French national railway (SNCF) to Provence, the homeland of lavender, as well as the Champagne region to sample unforgettable wines; or travel to Germany for as low as NT$17,525 (excluding tax) by flying with Emirates and then transferring to the German railway (Deutsche Bahn) to reach various cities within Germany; or even explore Austria’s musical capital, Salzburg, for as little as NT$20,111 (excluding tax). Travelers heading to Central, Western, and Southern Europe can also use the rail networks of Austrian Federal Railways (OBB), Spanish Railways (Renfe), and Italy’s Trenitalia to delve deeper into the art, historic sites, scenic beauty, and cuisine across Europe.

In addition to the rail networks operated by European train companies, travelers can also take full advantage of Emirates’ global route network and codeshare flights with partner airlines such as UK-based flybe, TAP Air Portugal, S7 Airlines, and others. This allows easy connections to over 100 vibrant and fascinating cities across the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Spain, Portugal, and within Russia.

Emirates passengers can directly book these rail and airline partner transfer services when purchasing their tickets. However, for those traveling with Emirates and transferring via Deutsche Bahn or Trenitalia (Italian State Railways), the airline ticket and rail transfer ticket must be purchased separately. Customers can access the Deutsche Bahn or Trenitalia websites directly through the “Manage your booking” feature on the Emirates official website to book their rail tickets.
