Air-rail alliance

There are four main types of airline-railway alliance or codeshare agreements - dedicated services, entire network access, Night&Fly, and re-protection agreements. The currently active air-rail alliances are listed in the various tables below.

More commonly referred to as Rail & Fly due to the popularity of the Deutsche Bahn service, entire network access is the increasingly common form of air-rail alliance. This allows passengers to book a train ticket at the same time as their air ticket, often for a discounted price and occasionally for free. Checked through luggage and dedicated train compartments for airline passengers are not normally available, though sometimes first class train travel is provided. Travel is usually available to the entire rail network.
