Rail&Fly with Emirates in Germany?
Does anybody know how to arrange this?I've tried to ask Emirates help centre twice,but without success...
So my question is:
If I will get this rail&fly options by just buying e-ticket from Emirates web page for my FRA-DEL flight??Is it included in the price of ticket?I'm from Poland so probably I can't get paper ticket which Emirates send by post in Germany..
Thanks in advance!

Hi Yanas,
the price of the R&F should already be included in your ticket price (i.e. does not cost extra).
However, I have always needed a paper ticket as the train ticket is basically one of the flight coupons in the ticket.
The last time I used this option I had booked my flight by phone via the Call Centre. They should be able to help you out (they actually told me I needed a paper ticket). In doubt try the local EK contact number (or Frankfurt).
Cheers,
Hansie

I have a question about Rail&Fly.
My journey will start in Germany, so it should be free.
Is it also valid for S-Bahn? I think so as they are a DB property...but...who knows.
Is it also possible to book it after I bought the flight ticket?

At the moment I haven't booked the flight ticket yet so no problem.
I live in HAM and plan to fly out of MUC to fly A380.
As far as I remember only return trip is included, right?
Thanks

One way flight - one way railway ticket. When u order your ticket online you'll have the option to choose your free rail ticket. All you need is a credit card, because you have to print the ticket and identify yourself via credit card to the conductor, as a German citizen you can also use your ID card or ban card if you have one, you cannot use a passport. The ticket is valid on the day of departure only!

Recently Ek has added the option to request your Rail&Fly paper tickets later online under "Manage my booking" for reservations with e-tickets (it is one of the options same as Meal Request, Seat Selection, Book Chauffeur Drive if eligible, add Freq.Flier Numbers etc.) and print them as you need them on the train for the conductor.
They are als valid on S-Bahn.

Actually I booked the ticket and I also got the Rail&Fly tickets. Only my name is listed as passenger but it states "two adults" so I think everything is ok now.
I think to have done a small error during the booking with EK. I inserted "MS" for my wife instead of "MRS" but I think it will not be a problem

Hi MarcoGT,
In regards to your initial question Rail&Fly is only valid on trains operated by the German Rail (DB) including S-Bahn (commuter trains) from/to the respective airport. It is not valid on private railway companies as well as other than the aforementioned S-Bahn lines.
Further information can be obtained here: http://www.emirates.com/de/english/p...onditions.aspx

Date change ?
I have a date change, flying a week earlier. But under the manage booking the link to the German rail still tells my original flying dates validity. Should I show the conductor the new E-ticket with earlier dates, or Emirates should change my train tickets ?
