XHJ is a code associated with Aachen, a historic city in far-western Germany, and specifically with Aachen Hauptbahnhof, its main railway station. Although it appears as an airport code, it refers to the railway station rather than an airport, used in air-rail travel where trains connect with flights. Aachen sits where Germany meets Belgium and the Netherlands, and has no major airport of its own: the nearest is Maastricht Aachen Airport across the Dutch border, which mainly handles charter flights, while Cologne Bonn Airport is usually the most convenient, with Dusseldorf and Brussels also in reach. Aachen is a city of great history, once the capital of Charlemagne's empire, and its cathedral, where German kings were crowned for centuries, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is also a university city and a spa town. The climate is temperate, with mild summers and cool winters.

A provider is shown on a place page only where its coverage of that place, its airport or its country is on record.

How to compare airport transfers

  • Give the flight number where the provider asks, because that is how it learns about a changed arrival time.
  • Find the included waiting time in the terms, and what happens when immigration or baggage takes longer.
  • Match the vehicle to your luggage, not only your group size, and declare boards, golf bags or wheelchairs.

How to compare airport lounges

  • Check the inclusions for the specific lounge, not the programme in general.
  • Check the rules for children and guests, which each lounge sets itself.
  • Find out whether your pass is a reservation or a right to enter when there is room.

How to compare car rental

  • Take dated photos of the car when you collect and return it.
  • Child seats and extra drivers are charged separately, so include them in your comparison.
  • Standard cover often leaves out tyres, windscreen and underbody; the terms list the exclusions.

How to compare flights

  • Fare rules on changes and cancellation differ widely; open them before you buy.
  • Look at connection times and whether one booking covers the whole journey.
  • Check entry and transit requirements for your passport with official government sources before you buy.

Before you book

  • A screenshot of the terms you accepted is useful if a question comes up later.
  • Because prices move with demand, make your comparison in one sitting for identical dates.
  • Read the cancellation and change terms shown at checkout, which are the ones that bind the booking.
  • The amount on your statement depends on the charge currency and your card's fees.
  • Save your confirmation offline, since you may need it without data.

Are travel services prices listed on Aurum?

No. Aurum shows no prices for travel services. Each provider shows its own price for your dates on its own site, and that price is the one that applies.

Can I change or cancel a booking booked through a link here?

Contact the provider you booked with; its terms for your offer decide whether and until when a change is free. Aurum has no access to bookings.

How early should I look at travel services?

Providers release and price their own availability. Look once your travel dates are firm, and read how late each offer can be cancelled.

How should I read Where on a provider card?

It is the provider's verified coverage as recorded in Aurum's partner database: a country, named places or airports, or worldwide. It is not a promise that every address inside that area is served, so confirm yours with the provider.

Why is a provider I have used missing from this page?

Aurum lists only its partners, and only where their coverage is recorded. A missing name says nothing about that provider's quality; the same checks apply to it.

Does this page tell me what to book?

No. It is general information to help you compare providers. Confirm the details with the provider, and take insurance, legal or medical questions to a qualified professional.

How does a provider get listed for travel services on Aurum?

The list comes from Aurum's partner database. A provider appears where its link is active and its coverage of the place, airport or country is recorded as verified.

Does booking through a link here cost more?

The links here are paid, which means the provider may pay Aurum a commission, and your price stays the same. What you pay and the conditions that apply are decided by the provider.

Who do I contact about a booking?

Use the provider's own support channel for changes, because it holds the booking. Aurum holds no bookings.
