- If you are traveling first to a foreign country, it will be difficult for you to get the correct train or buy tickets on the machine. So, it is better to request or arrange for someone to pick up you from the airport. There are many students who are willing to help the newcomers.
- While you are coming for the first time, you need many dresses and other extra stuff. So, choose an airline that provides more baggage (British Airways, Air India**).
- Students who are not having an option to reach the nearest airport and need to travel by train to reach the destination, could book a “Rail and Fly” ticket. It should be booked together with the flight ticket.
It means, once you book the flight ticket, you will also pay for the train ticket. You will get a code along with your receipt. Once you reach the airport, you should go to the ticket machine and select the “rail and fly” option and then type the code. It generates a ticket for you, with which you could travel to your destination. If you don’t know how to operate the ticket machine, you can also visit Deutsche Bahn information (DB Information) or ticket counter and get your ticket with that code. It includes travel in ICE/IC/RE/IRE/RB, etc. from Airport to any destination throughout Germany.
Note: Don’t bring 3 trolleys. It will be very difficult for you to carry it alone. So, keep 2 trolleys and a bag as shown in this photo. You can keep this bag over your trolley and move easily.
** For your information, Air India allows more baggage.
