🇩🇪 About the Service
Lufthansa Airport Express was a dedicated rail service operated in partnership between Lufthansa and German railways, connecting Frankfurt Airport with other major cities. The service allowed passengers to check in their luggage at railway stations and travel directly to their flights. Though the dedicated branded service has evolved, it represented an innovative approach to multimodal transportation in the aviation industry.
