For 25 years, Air France and the SNCF have been offering their customers a service allowing them to combine train and air travel in a single booking. Called “Train + Air” (formerly TGV Air) and used every year by more than 160,000 customers, it currently links 14 stations to the Air France hubs at Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly (Angers Saint-Laud, Avignon TGV, Champagne-Ardenne TGV, Le Mans, Lille Europe, Lorraine TGV, Lyon Part-Dieu, Nantes, Nîmes, Poitiers, Rennes, Saint-Pierre-des-Corps, Strasbourg and Valence TGV).
As from 3 December, Train + Air will also be offered by Air France between Bordeaux Saint-Jean station and Paris-Orly airport, starting on 15 December, with connections available to the entire international Air France network on departure from Paris-Orly airport, particularly to the French overseas territories (Cayenne, Pointe-à-Pitre, Fort-de-France and Saint-Denis de La Réunion).
Customers will travel by train from Bordeaux to Massy TGV, before transferring to Paris-Orly by a taxi service. There will be 5 daily departures from Bordeaux Saint-Jean and 4 daily departures from Massy TGV, with adapted schedules* for quick connections. Customers travelling from Bordeaux will enjoy all the advantages of the Train + Air product:
- a single ticket for the entire trip, with the guarantee of a transfer to the next flight or train at no extra cost, in the event of a missed connection;
- a First Class seat on board the TGV for customers in the Business or La Première cabins on Air France;
- Miles and Flying Blue XP earned on the entire trip, including the rail leg.
Air France and the SNCF are currently working on extending the Train + Air product to other routes and improving the customer experience throughout their trip.
