Hi,

I was able to win the Freundschaftspass and I'm a bit confused. The pass allows me to travel 7 days within a month and I'm planning to travel next month.

When do I activate the pass? on the day of travel?

How can I use the trains with the pass?

I need to take a TGV and made a seat reservation in advance but haven't activated the pass, is that correct?

 

Thank you!

Yes, don’t activate the pass until you’re sure you will travel, and don’t activate a travel day until you’re at the station, certain to depart. Otherwise you risk plans changing and using up a day unnecessarily.

I don’t know if there are any special conditions attached to the Freundschaftspass. I would guess not. 

You can make TGV reservations before activating the pass. There is a good summary of costs and how to to it on the Seat61 website. Expect to pay €10 or €20 within France, and €18 for cross-border TGV or ICE. You can’t use Thalys through BE, I guess.
