1. Relax with extra leg room and added convenience
Wave goodbye to the stress of getting through an airport and the discomfort of sitting in a tiny seat with no elbow space. Rail travel has always been seen as a more laidback mode of transport with spacious cabins, luxurious seats, and on-board bistros and restaurants.
Stretch your legs by walking freely through the cabins and skip the headache of baggage restrictions. Booking a train for your next business trip can eliminate common travel headaches with boarding only taking a few minutes.

2. Doing your bit for the planet with eco-friendly travel
“Sustainability” is one of the biggest buzzwords across every industry. If your company wants to become eco-friendly, switching to rail transport can add to your green credentials.
Trains produce significantly less CO2 emissions per passenger than planes and cars with the environmental benefits quickly racking up for frequent business travelers. Enhance your company’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) image by making rail travel your go-to for business trips within Europe.
Our partnership with Rail Europe allows you to book high-speed, intercity, and regional trains from a vast network of carriers. Travel cross-border to Paris, London, Brussels, or Amsterdam, or take an InterCity Express train between Germany’s main business hubs in Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, and Hanover.

3. Remote working on-the-go
How many times have you got on a plane and there’s no Wi-Fi? If there is Wi-Fi, there’s often no space to work or privacy to check your emails. One of the most practical benefits of traveling by Europe’s railways is the ability to stay connected on the go.
Most modern trains are fitted with high-speed Wi-Fi and have power outlets at every seat. Business class and quiet carriages offer extra amenities for corporate travelers who want to catch up on emails or be productive throughout their journey.

4. Affordable city center connections
Train stations are more conveniently located than airports, usually in the city center, making it more affordable to travel to and from with public transport options.
Booking a train ticket is easier than navigating an airline’s website. Our user-friendly interface allows you to compare prices to find the best deal and filter results based on your preferences. Our competitive prices and adjustable payment options guarantee you the best value for your train journey. Pay for rail tickets using a credit limit for added financial flexibility or using a credit card, debit card, or bank transfer.

5. Added flexibility for business travelers
Booking a flight to even some of Europe’s most popular destinations can leave you with limited options with most airlines charging a premium for flexible tickets. By comparison, Europe’s extensive network of railways means you can start your journey at almost any time of day with direct and indirect routes.
Most train operators offer affordable flexible tickets at an advanced booking rate with multiple trains per day. The importance of this benefit is that it can allow working professionals to adapt their travel plans to suit their schedules.
Europe’s railway schedule gives business travelers the ability to board popular routes throughout the day, enabling them to start the working day in one city and end it in another. No more booking inconvenient red-eye flights to get the best price.

6. Fewer delays, added reliability, and extra peace of mind
Every business traveler knows what it’s like to sit at an airport for hours because of a delayed flight. 21% of flights in 2023 were delayed or canceled, often leaving business travelers stranded and having to make alternative plans last minute. Comparatively, rail timelines face significantly fewer delays as they are less prone to engineering issues and weather delays.
If you need to guarantee your arrival time, choosing rail transport is the best way to reduce the potential for travel delays.
Most major airports across Europe are a significant distance from the city center. Only 1 of London’s six major airports are in the city itself, while it has 18 major train stations within the city center. It’s more efficient to choose a train ticket as the transfer time to these destinations is shorter with stations located close to business districts. The predictability of train schedules gives business travelers the confidence to build their schedules around their travel plans.
If you’re a nervous traveler, choosing to travel by train removes the fear of turbulence with the added security at each station giving you peace of mind.
