Hello,

We are planning a trip from Perpignan in the south of France to Amsterdam  - Odense - Stockholm and have bought a 4day/1month pass for that. Now, because of the frequent train strikes here in France these days, we think we should fly to Amsterdam instead of going by train. We live near the Spanish border, so getting to Barcelona and flying from there would not be a problem.

The question is then: Can we still use the pass for the rest of our journey, i.e. for the Amsterdam - Odense - Stockholm part?

Sure you can. There's no obligation to use the inbound/outbound journeys. You could still use it to get to Barcelona of course - if there's no strike...
