Tren Maya ticket booking via Flix opens new sales channels

Tren Maya ticket booking via Flix is now live after Mexico’s Secretary of Tourism (Sectur) and Flix confirmed a new sales partnership in a Flix corporate press release.

This is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.

The announcement coincided with Mexico’s appearance as the Guest Country at the 46th FITUR trade fair.

From 21 January, travellers will be able to book Tren Maya on Flix app, as well as through the Flix website and physical sales points, as noted by Railway-News. With Tren Maya ticket sales on Flix platform, the partners say the move widens public access to one of Mexico’s most significant tourism and infrastructure projects — an initiative also discussed in background by Railway Supply.

Carlos Magaña, Managing Director of Flix Mexico, said: “As of today, any traveler – Mexican or international – can book their Tren Maya journey through Flix. As a Mexican, I’m deeply proud to help connect more people to our extraordinary cultural heritage and natural landscapes.”
