Hello everyone,

I am planning a trip to Switzerland and Germany this summer and trying to decide whether the flexipass is worth purchasing. 

I have calculated 4 days that I will be travelling long distance and believe I will save with the pass, the travel plan for those days are:

  • zurich to interlaken
  • interlaken to and from lucerne (in one day)
  • interlaken to munich
  • nuremberg to berlin

So I am thinking of purchasing the 4 days in 1 month pass. 

Just wondering if there is something that I might be missing, additional costs I am not aware of, or whether I am not able to use the pass for some of these routes?

Also what is meant by one month? I will be travelling between August 15-September 5. Is that included as “one month” or does it actually have to be the same month ex. only able to travel in August.

 

Thank you,

 

Ilana

Yes it is possible. 

Additional costs: on most trains in switzerland and germany seat reservation is optional, and you have to pay if you want a reservation. Some Scenic turist trains in Swiss needs a reservation.

And how do you cover the missing link M-N? (these are the DE=german abbreviations for those cities-also on all carplates).

THere is NOW-untill 31/8 a dirt cheap special 1 month ticket in all of DE for just 9€ but it is NOT valid on the ICE=fast long-dist trains. And you kind of need those for your trips-you can use slower locals, but that will add a lot of time and many changes-and overcrowded trips as well.

In my quick guess-a pass might not save a lot, compared to advance fixed bookings, but it gives you freedom and can do changes last minute. NO extraś are needed as such, but are optional-and the 4,50 for a seat RES might be worth it. Easy to do online via bahn.com-seat only. NOT possible for trips in CH=swiss
