Plane + train. What a beautiful combination!

Are you planning a vacation or business trip to Europe? Imagine getting to your desired destination directly from your city, conveniently, quickly, without the stress of traffic, and all with a single combined ticket.

Thanks to AccesRail technology, you can now purchase your air and rail routes in a combined ticket and travel to more cities, moving seamlessly between train and plane and back again.

After arriving in Italy comfortably aboard an ITA Airways flight, you can opt to reach your final destination in Italy by train with Trenitalia's High Speed Trains. Find out about all the connection possibilities here!

For example, this means setting off from Padua on Trenitalia's Frecciarossa trains, arriving at Rome Fiumicino airport train station, checking in at the dedicated desk to fly to London and then heading on to Edinburgh - all with one ticket!

The dedicated check-in desk at Fiumicino station, open daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. – including a "Drop-Off" service for those who have checked in online – can be used by all passengers who have a Trenitalia ticket in conjunction with a flight operated by ITA Airways to travel to any destination served by our network. Passengers bound for the U.S. and Israel are excluded. At the explicit request of Authorities in these Destination Countries, travelers must check in at the desks in the departure terminal.
