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 our partnership with AccesRail and FlexFlight, 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.

You can travel from the main train stations in Italy to the airport, sit comfortably on the plane and get off directly at your final destination whether it’s in Europe or around the world. Find out about all the connection possibilities here!

This means, for example, setting off from an Italian train station, 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!

A dedicated check-in desk at Fiumicino station, open daily from 6 a.m. to 12 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.
