You too are mixing up one service with the other.

CDG/ZYR/CDG is a unique AF service named Air & Rail, with a dedicated counter in both stations and a dedicated 1st class carriage irrespective of class of travel in the air, together with luggage service (including luggage check-in at ZYR with transfers to the connecting flight in CDG).

I am not familiar with AMS/ZWE service, but it looks like TGV-Air (now Acces Rail) product in France: no dedicated carriage, pax seated all over the train, both in 1st and 2nd class depending on class of service in the air. Am I correct?
  • The purpose of my creating this thread is to ask if anyone has recent experience with upgrading the train segment of a TGV-Air (Acces Rail) ticket and share the info with everyone.
