What is Access Rail?

AccessRail is an innovative service that provides a seamless link between air, rail and bus travel. It allows travel agents to not only show rail and bus segments in a PNR, but also to issue tickets for these segments.

By integrating rail services with airline networks, AccessRail offers passengers the ability to book train tickets in conjunction with their flights, using a single booking platform.

This unique approach not only simplifies the travel booking process but also expands the reach of airlines to destinations not served by air travel, using rail networks as an extension of their routes.
