This will become possible as Air India and AccesRail, an International Air Transport Association travel partner, have recently forged an intermodal agreement. With this development, Air India travelers will be able to explore numerous countries and over 100 European destinations with a single ticket.
As per the reports, this partnership will allow Air India passengers to utilise bus and rail services while maintaining the same baggage allowance they enjoy during their flight. Your European adventure doesn't have to stop when you disembark; in short, it can commence as you step into the gateways of Europe.

Referring to this development, Nipun Aggarwal, Air India's Chief Commercial & Transformation Officer, stated, "The expansion of our global network is one of our key priorities in the ongoing, comprehensive transformation of Air India. This partnership with AccesRail not only helps us provide our guests easy access to an extended network of destinations across Europe but also bridges the gaps in connectivity between India and Europe."
Initially, these intermodal tickets can only be booked through global travel agents. However, Air India has plans to extend the booking facility to its own sales channels in the near future.
So, book your tickets now, and explore Europe like never before.
