Air France and SNCF Voyageurs have expanded their Train + Air intermodal service to include all OUIGO high-speed trains serving Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport. Effective 21 September 2026 this extension allows travellers to seamlessly combine a budget-friendly rail journey and an international flight under a single digital booking. The integration marks an evolution in their 30-year partnership moving beyond premium TGV INOUI services to leverage the low-cost OUIGO network connecting 27 railway stations across France directly to the airline’s primary hub.

Passengers utilising the expanded service receive several integrated protections including guaranteed connections with automatic rebooking onto the next available service at no additional cost in the event of a delayed or cancelled train or flight. Customers can manage their entire itinerary digitally with online check-in opening 30 hours prior to departure via the Air France website or app. The addition of OUIGO provides a wider array of departure times and competitive pricing tiers opening up low-carbon transit alternatives to a broader demographic of passengers.

This full integration follows a successful trial phase initiated in late 2025 on select routes including Aix-en-Provence, Avignon and Marseille. Air France reported a 43pc surge in Train + Air traffic during the first half of 2026 compared to the same timeframe in 2025 underlining strong consumer interest in streamlined eco-friendly travel options. While OUIGO trains lack a bar car and a dedicated first-class section compared to standard TGV INOUI lines they do offer free Wi-Fi for combined-ticket travellers.
