Air France and SNCF Add OUIGO, Expanding One-Booking Rail Links to Paris
Air France and SNCF Voyageurs have broadened their “Train + Air” partnership to include OUIGO services, giving travelers more options to combine rail and air travel in a single reservation.
What’s changing
Since October 16, 2025, customers booking Train + Air can now use OUIGO trains in addition to TGV INOUI when connecting to or from Paris–Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG). The goal is to expand the reach of the air-rail product with more price points and more city pairs.
Initial routes and rollout plan
The first OUIGO-enabled rail links in the expanded program connect Paris-CDG with:
-
Aix-en-Provence TGV
-
Avignon TGV
-
Marseille–Saint-Charles
Air France and SNCF plan to extend eligibility gradually across OUIGO’s wider network. By September 2026, the scheme is expected to link 27 French stations to Paris-CDG, and the broader roadmap targets inclusion across OUIGO’s 70 destinations over time.
Why it matters for passengers
Train + Air is designed to feel like a single, protected itinerary rather than two separate tickets:
-
One booking, end-to-end, purchased digitally
-
Online check-in via airfrance.com, aligning the rail segment with the flight experience
-
Misconnection protection: if disruption occurs, passengers are rebooked on the next available train or flight at no extra cost
Bigger strategic context
This expansion supports both companies’ push toward intermodality:
-
Air France can shift some short-haul feeder demand to rail, supporting its decarbonization efforts while preserving connectivity into CDG’s long-haul network.
-
SNCF Voyageurs expands access by adding lower-cost OUIGO services into the combined product, potentially making protected rail-air itineraries more affordable.
Loyalty tie-in remains
Flying Blue members can still convert Miles into SNCF Voyageurs vouchers (€25–€100)—a redemption option introduced in February 2025 that has quickly become the program’s most popular non-flight use of miles.
