In fact, one of the most<br />

common multi-modal travel<br />

options is booking your flight<br />

and your connecting airport to<br />

city rail ticket with it. Through<br />

integrated solutions such as<br />

Amadeus Airport Express,<br />

travel agencies can easily add<br />

an airport express train ticket<br />

to a traveller’s flight or hotel<br />

room at the moment of<br />

booking. If you’re anything like<br />

me, this definitely eases the<br />

stress of arriving to an<br />

unfamiliar city, not speaking<br />

the local language and trying<br />

to navigate the local airport<br />

ticket office to buy a train<br />

ticket. Instead, you can proceed<br />

through departures and hop on<br />

your train to the city centre<br />

stress free!<br />

There are huge opportunities<br />

for rail companies to innovate<br />

and provide more personalised<br />

travel services, bringing a<br />

‘door-to-door’ experience one<br />

step closer to reality. As we<br />

embark on the multi-modal<br />

journey, collaboration between<br />

key industry players is key to<br />

overcome the challenges and<br />

enable the traveller of<br />

tomorrow a seamless travel<br />

experience from their initial<br />

search right through to arrival<br />

at their destination.<br />
