Thanks AnnaB. I have compared the cost for normal tickets (7 main journeys) vs the cost of a pass/reservations a couple of times. We are travelling a loop starting/ending in Paris, with 2 places in France, 3 places in southern Germany and 1 place in Switzerland. Seems like it’s about the same cost, with normal tickets possibly slightly less. Thanks again.
From what I have read on various websites and blogs, I’m more minded to buy normal tickets because I have a fixed, fairly low number of train journeys (7); any side trips not confirmed), and am only visiting a fixed number of cities/towns (7).
Thank you, AnnaB ! But just to check my understanding : I should still book tickets in advance from Munich “through” to Lucerne ? I just don’t need to reserve seats, and if I miss the first connecting train at Zurich, then I can catch the next one to Lucerne without waiting too long ?
Thank you, everyone for your responses. This gives me a better idea of the situation on the ground. I will continue to research the best times and book soon. Will ask again if I need more guidance. vielen dank / merci beaucoup !
Thank you for all your replies !Our schedule currently has 7 connecting trips starting and ending at Paris, through 3 countries only. For Switzerland, it’ll only be 1 city : Munich (DE) - Lucerne (CH); Lucerne - Dijon (FR). We may make a couple of side trips (to closeby attractions though nothing firmed up) but our main route is fixed. Re the mobile Pass, the terms indicate that e-tickets will be sent to one’s email address, so I guess there is some backup after all. So just to confirm :Still worth it to get a Global Pass ? Our trip will cross over into early December. EuRail counts the “month” from starting trip, not calendar month, right ? (e.g. 15 November is 1 month after 16 October, and you can make the 5, 10 travel days, etc in that period) ? I don’t to see a definition of “month” on the terms and conditions.Alvin
