Rail and fly from HLX
HLX the German budget airline, have teamed up with Deutshe Bahn (DB) the German National Railway operator to allow journeys to be completed to anywhere in Germany for €19 /£14 per person and route. The scheme also includes bus, suburban railway (S-Bahn) and underground trains for eleven of the biggest operators in Germany.
Tickets for the rail are issued by e-mail, pdf document or fax when the HLX flight is booked.
If flying to on an international flight from Germany the ticket can also be used to purchase a connection to the departure airport, (as long it is from your destination in Germany).
Children under six travel free on the scheme. Rail / bus tickets purchased under the rail and fly scheme are not refundable.
This sounds like an excellent scheme top me. It even covers relevant ICE Trains but a surcharge is payable for the ICE Sprinter.
The scheme is explained on the hlx.com website.
