From QF agents web site
..the codeshare would allow customers to connect with Intercity-Express (ICE) rail services from Frankfurt Airport to Cologne, Dusseldorf, Hamburg, Hanover, Munich, Nuremberg and Stuttgart.

.
Reservations for the new codeshare services can be made via Qantas on 131313, or through licensed travel agents.

Does 1000 minimum miles apply to these? Any one know the add-on fare (must be sold in conjunction with QF flight)?
FWIW, one came through automatically and the other required a manually.

Definitely NOT on the XONEX products whereby any land segments are specifically excluded according to the farerules!

Does anybody know if you can book the segments separatly?
Maybe my solution to get my 4 Segments on QF!
LH had some very cheap milage-runs in the past.
I see good old times coming back.

I assume this means if QF are running late they'll look after you if you miss your train. Flew to FRA last year and QF were 2 hrs late, due to mech probs in SIN, and we missed our train and were out of pocket several hundred $$. Although, to QF's credit after intially unsuccessfully pursuing through Travel Insurance (at QF's request), QF came good with the $$$ (but only because I was a WP).

I wouldn't call this marketing. I think this is a good customer service allowing overseas visitors to Germany to get a good connection without the hassle of having to buy a train ticket in a foreign country. And if you even get miles for it: Great. I have a trip coming up to HAJ soon, so I might give it a try.

lokijuh: May I suggest that next time you miss your train at FRA, go to the DB booking office and explain the situation. Most likely they will give you a ticket on the next train - they have done this for me whenever QF5 is significantly late into FRA.
