Product details
Surfaces airport rail and train connections directly in the booking flow when travelers are searching for short-haul flights or ground transport. When a viable rail option exists for the traveler's route, they see a comparison of schedules, travel times, and cost against the flight alternative -- making it easy to consider rail without leaving the booking experience. Supports corporate sustainability programs by redirecting short-haul air segments to lower-emission rail options where available, while also reducing cost on routes where trains are competitively priced or faster when total door-to-door travel time is factored in.
How It Works
Airport Rail surfaces train and rail connections as an alternative when travelers are booking short-haul flights or searching for ground transport between city and airport. Instead of requiring travelers to separately research rail options, Tripkicks brings the comparison directly into the booking flow at the point of decision.
When a traveler searches for a flight on a route where a rail connection is viable, they see a tile or modal showing:
Train schedule and departure options for the same route
Travel time comparison against the flight (including check-in and security time)
Cost comparison between rail and air
Carbon savings from choosing rail over flying
This connection supports two distinct use cases: redirecting short-haul domestic or intra-regional flights to rail where trains are faster or comparably priced, and surfacing airport rail or transit options as an alternative to taxis or rideshare for the airport transfer leg of a trip. The result is a nudge toward lower-emission travel at exactly the right moment -- when the traveler is actively deciding how to get there.
