I need help buying a train pass but I am not sure if it will be worth buying the Global Pass or buying the individual tickets for each destination.
I am landing in London Heathrow Airport on April 28th from USA. I am planning to buy the Europe Global Pass to get from the airport to London’s City Center. Would the pass work for this and do we have to book in advance or is 1 day before fine? Would this pass work for travel within London as we are not planning to get a rental car or use taxis as I heard they are expensive and traffic.
On April 30th, we are planning to go from London to Paris then on May 2nd we are planning to go from Paris to Zurich. On May 4th, we plan to go from Zurich to Amsterdam and on May 5th return to London from Amsterdam as our flight back to USA is from London on May 6th. Would this be the best order of travel considering total time to travel between destinations, we are trying to minimize our travel time on the train.
Which train pass would be budget friendly for 3 travellers (2 are under 23 years old) for these destinations? Is booking in advance necessary for all of these destinations or a couple days in advance is fine? We will have 3 luggages with us, is that allowed on the train?
I was planning on getting the Europe Global Pass 5 days within 1 month. Does this mean I have 5 days to travel within my start date or I can skip some days like travel on the 28th from London Heathrow airport to city center then use it again in 2 days for Paris then Zurich in 1 day etc. and the total days travelled has to be 5 days?
Thank you in advance.
