I am trying to figure out how to get the best use os my pass on the last inbound part of my travel.
I haven’t decided exactly which train I will take, but it might look something like this:
Hamburg (DE) 20:43 to Flensburg (DE) 22:40 (Last station before the border)
Flensburg (DE) 22:50 to Fredericia (DK) 00:14
Fredericia (DK) 00:20 to Horsens (DK) 00:59
The last part is short, but in case I have a travel day to spare, I can just as well use it for that.
I have read this guide: https://www.interrail.eu/en/interrail-passes/interrail-mobile-pass/mobile-pass-faq/how-can-i-travel-back-home-by-night-train
I tells how to split an inbound journey, so that the inbound is applied to the second day. But that assumes that the border is crossed after midnight. In my case I will cross the border before midnight and change to another train after midnight.
I know this will require 2 travel days, but is there any way to apply the inbound journey to the last day?
There is no trains from Flensburg after midnight. Or from Padborg on the other side for that matter.
A 5 day pass might be too little for my full journey and since there is no 6 day pass, I will probably buy a 7 day pass. It is not that much more expensive and will give me less stress. But if I can get reservations for som fast trains om my way home, I may have a travel day to spare. And then I can just as well use it on the last short leg. If that is even possible.
