Inbound/outbound days vs journeys

Ops, actually now I found that this issue has been discussed already 3 years ago.

So the phrase isn’t new, I just didn’t get around to see it before. 
Anyway it would be nice if it was clearer, as someone who doesn’t want to do anything wrong could get anxious 

​@rvdborgt ​@Dagi I have made a proposal to call the I/O days "home country" travel days instead, as this is what it in fact is. Travel days that you can use in your home country. 

Yes, this is a thing and it always has been. It is a particular problem for residents of Germany as it’s a country many are likely to pass through en route to other places!

Very good idea! This would really clarify such situations like in this topic or that topic, where we have seen that some countries/train companies interpret the validity of I/O-days differently.

That’s how I saw them until now, but recently I’ve seen some posts about train personnel not being happy about people not going straight from home to border, which pointed me to read the indications, which l think in points contradict themselves. Like when you click on the info icon for I/O on your pass and see that some countries have 3 days since it’s hard to get to the border in one day in some places (we’re talking among others about Switzerland, Netherlands and Luxembourg)
