Hi
It could be cheaper to buy Supersaver tickets months in advance, but such tickets are not refundable and you must take the selected trains.
Passes offer more flexibility, you can take every train during the travel days and they are refundable before the first day of validity. In these countries, the prices for mandatory or recommend seat reservations are the same as with tickets.
If you book in advance, you will certainly find cheap inflexible tickets to be cheaper than a pass, as
You can quickly find prices for all these journeys on raileurope.com. (Check prices for February and March, as well as June/ July, because some operators haven’t released their cheap tickets for summer yet.)
Rail Europe isn’t necessarily the best place to buy, but it is a good way to quickly and easily get prices.
If you’re happy to fix your plans in advance, I would just buy individual tickets. If you prefer to keep things flexible, that’s when a pass would be useful to you.
