Is it possible to exchange and board Thalys in Antwerp on a KLM flight-train ticket that starts in Brussel Midi?
I hope someone can help me.
Situation: I have a KLM flight-train ticket from Brussel Midi to Amsterdam Schiphol (Thalys) to final destination (flight). I have found the information online that I do have to take the train leg and exchange my eticket with a Thalys ticket at the earliest 4 hours before departure.
Question: As I live in Antwerp, it would be much more convenient to complete the exchange of the ticket and board in Antwerp Central station rather than Brussel Midi (as the Thalys is very early in the morning). Can anyone share their experience or knows if this is possible?
Best Answer
Typically, if you don't board the initial flight (or rail trip in this case), an airline ticket's reservation for all subsequent travel is cancelled.
If the train is an early-morning train from Brussels, your best bet is probably to take a train to Brussels the night before, and to wake up in Brussels. Either that, or call your airline to change the booking (or to do so online) and see if the cost to amend the ticket is reasonable.
