I’m about to buy my first interrail pass: 15 days and I will travel during one month in Eastern Europe. Would you say it’s worth to spend about 100 euros extra for a first class pass? I might be traveling alone so could it also feel a bit safer?

For travels fully in Eastern Europe I'd actually compare whether a pass makes sense over standard tickets. They tend to be very cheap (couple €).

Between 1st and 2nd class I might select 1st class for the quietness but be aware that not all trains have a 1st class section.

Thanks for your input! Anyone else who have experience going by train in Eastern Europe?
