Ever more connected, business travel by Thalys is getting a new edge: the rail company is experimenting with new services to personalise the service offered to business travellers, particularly when it comes to on-board catering. Holders of the Thalys TheCard Platinium and Platinium+ for travel in Comfort 1 can now pre-book their menu on the Paris-Brussels line. In practical terms, travellers will be able to request a vegetarian menu in advance of their journey, or opt for a savoury or sweet breakfast, for example. This service, which is being tested until June, can be accessed up to two days before the journey. As part of this pre-booking service, passengers travelling in Comfort 1 can also select three press titles, which will be distributed to them on board. This improved access to the international press is enhanced by the "e-Press&More" application, which allows passengers to download a newspaper, magazine or comic strip free of charge. In total, more than fifty international press titles are available in digital format.
