I guess made a mistake in Purchasing Eurail Global Pass (for a family of 4 including 2 kids of 6 & 9 years age)
I was already on a TIGHT BUDGET :’(
Anyways, I purchased a 15 Days Pass (not activated yet) that I thought will work for 2 months, but I just came to know that it works for a month (straight with no breaks??) and a 2-month flexible pass is separate.
So if I cancel this pass now for a refund and get a new 15 day flexible pass, I will have to pay an extra amount as follows:
- Loss when canceling & getting a refund on the previous pass - $154
- Additional amount to be paid when purchasing a new 15 days flexible pass - $262
- Total additional amount to be paid - $422
In case I don’t cancel the existing pass and do the additional journeys without a pass, the following two options exist:
Option 1 - Journeys without Pass (depends on … if I activate the pass on 23rd June & it deactivates on 8th July)
- Paris to Annemasse on 18th June
Option 2 - Journeys without Pass (if I activate the Pass on 18th June)
- Copenhagen to Munich on 5th July
- Munich to Milan on 8th July
I have no experience of making reservations on any train yet in Europe. So I have the following queries:
- If I activate the Pass on 18th June, will it expire on 2nd July or 30th June?
- Should I cancel the existing pass and buy a new flexible one? Or one of the options given above is more suitable for me?
- Can anyone kindly give me an approximate cost effect for Options 1 & 2 above (2nd class trains)?
- Any other solution (or even alternate suggested means of transport)?
Thanks
