EL AL offers combined flight and train tickets for Euro 2024

Heading to Euro 2024 in Germany? For the first time, EL AL Airlines will offer the option to purchase a combined flight ticket that includes onward travel by train to major cities in Europe. This initiative comes through a collaboration with the prominent German railway company, Deutsche Bahn.

Travelers flying to EL AL destinations in Germany (Berlin, Munich, or Frankfurt) can seamlessly continue their journey directly by train to central cities in Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands. The combined ticket allows passengers various fast arrival options to different destinations in Europe, starting from $493, including comfort and seating. Another advantage of the combined ticket is enabling convenient access to city centers where there are no direct flights. With this ticket, travelers can reach Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Stuttgart, Düsseldorf, Cologne, Dresden, Leipzig, Hannover, and Nuremberg in Germany, as well as Brussels and Antwerp in Belgium, and Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

Due to high train frequencies, there is flexibility in travel hours according to the need or landing time.

The booking process is simple; after entering the desired dates, EL AL's website will display available flights that include onward train travel. The displayed prices will include both flight and train travel tickets. The combined ticket is offered to purchasers of flight tickets in all service classes, except Lite ticket holders. The train service class will be determined according to the service class booked for the flight (tourist or business).

Shlomi Zafrni, EL AL's Vice President of Commercial and Aviation Relations, stated: "Due to the increased demand to expand destination coverage in Europe, including destinations without direct flights, we are launching a new service that combines flight and train travel. The European railway system is efficient and comfortable, providing a pleasant travel experience, alongside flexibility in travel times thanks to a wide range of offerings throughout the day. This new service is part of EL AL's strategic plan, through which the company enhances its value proposition to customers and enables purchases that include complementary products to the flight ticket, providing a complete vacation experience."
