NOL is adding transportation booking for major cities across Europe and the Americas, making it easier for Free Independent Travel customers to get around once they arrive. The move extends the platform's existing flight and accommodation services to overland transport, with the company aiming to cover every stage of a trip under a single platform.

NOL, operated by Nol Universe, announced Thursday it has integrated Rail Europe, a European rail booking platform, and FlixBus, which runs bus networks across Europe and the Americas, to offer overseas transport bookings. The service marks the first time a Korean travel platform has directly connected with FlixBus, allowing users to book long-distance buses in Europe and other major destinations through NOL. To mark the launch, Rail Europe products will be available at the lowest prices for a limited period.

Users can enter their departure point, destination and travel dates to search across cities and multiple stations, then compare bus and train prices, departure times and journey durations to find the best option for their schedule. Seat availability and dynamic fares are updated in real time, and the entire process — from browsing and booking to payment, ticketing and reservation management — is handled within NOL. Korean-language customer support is available throughout the booking and travel process. The company plans to add more suppliers, regions and transport products to broaden its overseas mobility offerings.

Oliver Libutski, head of Nol Universe's global business group, said the launch "makes it easy for customers to compare and book transportation without a language barrier, even in unfamiliar places abroad." He added that the company would "continue to expand the range of products and benefits that seamlessly connect every moment of leisure, drawing on NOL's integrated platform capabilities."
