HOTNAT¹ allows travellers to take the next available high-speed service leaving from the same transit station as originally planned, when a delay on or cancellation of the inbound Railteam member’s high-speed service prevents them from making their originally-planned connection.

This service is free of charge and is subject to the following conditions. The missed connection must be between two high-speed trains of the Railteam alliance. HOTNAT is available in Railteam hubs and larger connecting stations. HOTNAT only applies at the transit station where the passenger originally planned to change trains and in case of train delays and train cancellations. The approval of HOTNAT is subject to the available capacity on board each train. Seats are not guaranteed. If eligible, please report to the service staff at the international ticket/service counter for delay confirmation and HOTNAT authorization.

¹ Available in Paris at Paris Nord, Paris Est, Paris Gare de Lyon and Paris Montparnasse stations. They are counted as a single station for this service.

For connecting between Eurostar and DB FV in Germany, HOTNAT is only available at Cologne main station.
