1) You can get the TGV tickets from the desk at the railway station. There is the possibility to buy them directly from ticket machines as well.
2) You can buy your TGV tickets when you will know your flight times or have your flight tickets. You have the possibility to buy them through the internet and print directly e-ticket using your printer and simply present them once on board.
3) You can buy a so-called combined plane-train ticket. We do that every time and it is very convenient, for example if the flight is delayed, you will get another train ticket for the next one without any additional charge. If you want to test this, be informed that Poitiers railway station possesses its own IATA code. For example, IATA code for Charles de Gaulle Airport is “CDG”, the one of Poitiers railway station is “XOP”.
If you choose this possibility, you will have to have your TGV tickets printed once landed in Charles de Gaulle Airport. When arrived at the Charles de Gaulle Railway station (2 floors downstairs in the middle of terminal 2, go to the desk, show your passport so that you can get your TGV ticket, there is a special desk for people having a flight, it is completely on the right, and the desk is called “TGV air”.
