Delta, TransPennine Express partner on Air+Rail journeys via Manchester Airport
Delta Air Lines is partnering with TransPennine Express to bring its Air+Rail programme to the UK, connecting northern and Scottish cities to the U.S. via Manchester Airport.
The agreement provides one booking covering both the train and flights for customers travelling from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Lancaster, Oxenholme (for the Lake District), Preston, Newcastle, Sheffield and York to Atlanta, New York and Orlando.
“Building more Air+Rail connections into our schedule provides makes travel easier for customers on both sides of the Atlantic as we expand our U.K. footprint to many cities not currently served by flights operated by Delta,” said Alain Bellemare, Delta’s President – International.
Train segments are clearly identified when selecting each city as the destination or origin, in the same way flight is booked.
Delta’s Manchester flights to Atlanta, New York and Orlando are operated by Virgin Atlantic with those flying in Upper Class receiving first class rail travel.
Darren Higgins, Commercial Director for TransPennine Express said: “We are thrilled to have launched this new partnership with Delta which will provide a valuable link between cities across the North of England and into Scotland. The combined air and rail ticket will make it easier and more convenient for customers.”
Customers can check in on Accesrail.com to get their boarding pass, using their Delta ticket confirmation.
