Rail Europe and Headout have extended their partnership to improve the train booking experience across Europe for their combined customers. Through a new API connection, Headout can now display live train availability, dynamic ticket pricing, and instant booking confirmation for routes available through Rail Europe. This modification permits users to plan the rail journeys directly on Headout platform itself and not depending on multi websites or third party services to book their trip.

This development follows their earlier collaboration, launched in 2023, which introduced popular rail passes to Headout’s offerings. These were the Swiss Travel Pass and Eurail/Interrail Pass for travelling in over 30 countries. The current expansion adds the Bernina Express and Glacier Express—two of Switzerland’s most famous scenic trains. By incorporating these routes, the integration enables travellers to experience breathtaking rail journeys with greater convenience and reduced booking complexity.

By combining Rail Europe's expertise in rail distribution with Headout’s dynamic platform, we are making it easier than ever for travellers to discover and book European trains.
Björn Bender, CEO & Executive Chairman of Rail Europe

With this change, international visitors and local travellers alike gain a streamlined option for planning rail-based itineraries across Europe. Rather than juggling between national rail sites or dealing with language barriers, users can now browse and book trusted rail options through a single, travel-focused interface. API keeps the info up-to-date so travellers can cross missed connections, avoid overbooked trains or wrong pricing etc as part of their journey. This simplification is especially helpful for multi-country trips.

The addition of premium scenic trains brings further value, encouraging travellers to embrace slow, scenic travel. Routes like the Glacier Express offer panoramic alpine views, elevating train journeys into memorable experiences. With this integration, such routes are no longer difficult to access or reserve, allowing travellers to incorporate unique landscape-focused travel into their plans. It also supports the shift toward low-impact tourism by promoting rail as a more sustainable transport choice.

For European travellers interested in a trip, this partnership provides convenience and new entertainment. The refreshed alliance brings all the logistics, ticketing to iconic rail experiences in one seamless interface so you can discover the continent more easily. It not only simplifies planning, but also invites a deeper, more immersive travel experience through Europe’s railways—marking a meaningful advancement in digital travel services.
