SNCF and Lufthansa have implemented an accord which provides TGV feeder services to Lufthansa flights from Paris Charles-de-Gaulle. This enlarges the extent of air-rail co-operation from joint marketing or frequent flyer packages (RG 2.99 p85) to integrated ticketing. From February 1 passengers have been able to purchase a single ticket covering both legs of the journey, with most direct TGV services from CDG to Lyon, Nantes and Saint-Pierre des Corps allocated Lufthansa service codes. Before boarding the train, passengers must exchange the airline coupon for a rail ticket at dedicated counters. n
