| Jun 19 at 2:07 | comment | added | Hilmar | @PeterGreen: Lufthansa has 2 different train mechanisms: "Rail and fly" is just a co-marketed ticket. No one cares if you take the train or not, but the connection is your responsibility and it's not protected. "Lufthansa express rail" on the other hand is a single ticket with a protected connection: you need to check in for it and the boarding pass is your train tickets as well. On these trains they DO check attendance and sometimes its done by dedicated LH staff, and not by the Bahn conductor. | |

| Jun 18 at 19:18 | comment | added | Peter Green | I don't know what it's like in other places, but on trains here in in the UK, there is no reliable record of whether you actually travelled. For paper tickets there is no record other than possibly scribbles on the physical ticket. For e-tickets and other smart tickets there is a scan database, but when and where your ticket gets scanned is a lottery of staff availability and attitudes. | |
