How to book

You can book your ÖBB train tickets on emirates.com, an online travel agency or any travel agent.

When you book your journey, simply select the respective city as departure or destination as you would if you were booking a normal flight. You’ll find a combination of trains and flights that match your search criteria. ÖBB trains will either have an EK flight number between 3060 and 3089 or 9B flight number between 8100 and 8799.

If the passenger has purchased an intermodal ticket, in addition to the destination listed above, the ÖBB travel document is valid to additional destinations. During check‑in, the passenger will receive, in addition to the travel document, a second page describing in detail which destinations are covered for each destination. For passengers traveling to Vienna HBF, a second page describing the station is produced.

You will receive details on which destinations are covered along with your ÖBB ticket.
