Delta Air Lines has expanded travel options from the US to Europe with its Air+Rail programme, providing train connections to 20 more destinations, including 12 new cities in the Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
It was first launched in August 2021 for travel between Amsterdam and Brussels and Antwerp, and now the expansion enables connectivity directly from Brussels, Manchester, Rome Fiumicino and Zurich airports with one Delta ticket booking for the whole journey.
Delta will also add the service from Geneva when its nonstop flights from New York-JFK begin in April 2023.
The airline is working with leading rail operators in each country to provide onward train journeys via stations located at the airports.
“Building more Air+Rail connections into our schedule provides a greater choice of destinations for our customers, including a number of these cities not currently served by Delta or our European partners, such as Bern, Rotterdam and York,” says Alain Bellemare, Delta’s President – International.
Customers need to collect their bags from the airport before arriving at the train station. Tickets can either be printed in advance or collected from the station ticket office.
