Rail Services within Europe

Customers who purchase tickets from ANA for ANA international flights between Japan and Germany can purchase connecting Deutsche Bahn (DB) rail sectors as part of their flight ticket without paying any additional service charges. One such service includes DB Rail&Fly Service.

This is a service provided by DB and includes all routes to/from Frankfurt, Munich, and Düsseldorf and all routes between DB train stations and Frankfurt, Munich, and Düsseldorf airports.

• All DB routes to/from Frankfurt Central Station, Munich Central Station, and Düsseldorf Central Station.
• All routes between DB train stations and Frankfurt Airport Station, Munich Airport Station, and Düsseldorf Airport Station.
• Note: If DB does not offer direct rail access to an airport, trains may be changed at the central station. In this case, the Rail&Fly ticket can be used between the airport station and the central station.
  • Note: Usage solely between an airport station and central station on city and local public transport is not applicable.
