Ah, next time I’ll know. I also asked myself if it would have been better to buy the tickets directly, instead of Interrail, since we have reductions as “BahnCard 50” which give discounts in other European Countries as well, and we went back by plane due to all these insecurities. Also, I suppose that we would have been able to have TGV reservations buying normal tickets (I heard that the Interrail quota is really small - in some TGV only 10 places!). With the TGV, we would have been able to travel from Berlin to Barcelona in one day!
ok, I didn’t try this because the waiting time in Germany seemed to long 😜 (even if possibly shorter than in Spain). Also, if I remember well, in the Callcenter of the DB they knew nothing. But also, because we hadn't fixed 100 % our plans at the departure, and in fact went one day later from Barcelona to Andalucía .
??? Where did they fine you? Normally, the 9-Euro-Ticket as well as the 24-Hour-ticket „Berlin ABC“ from BVG or VBB are both valid also in the subway, the Tram 🚋 , buses and even some local ferrys in Berlin 😀
We just came back from Spain and found that you had to buy your tickets personally in the Station, with long waiting hours and showing both interrail ticket & our Identity cards. The reservation were also personalized. So I wonder if you can really buy them at a DB Center.The advantage of this old-style appearing system is, that generally you get your reservation!
And keep in mind that your luggage is controlled before boarding to the AVE fast trains and you are Not allowed to take knifes over a certain length etc.
But hopefully, waiting times are less after the Main season. We travelled in August, but my nephew that travelled in july had to queue much less. The Bad Thing is, that you never know!
Unfortunately, I don‘t know this. When I drew my waiting number in Seville (Don‘t forget to get one at the machine), I noticed that there were different categories like „departure today“ or „departure later“ but I didn‘t pay attention if there were extra files for pre-reserved tickets. Good luck, anyway!
Hi, to travel from the Airport BER to Berlin City, you can buy a single ticket „Berlin ABC“ for 3,80 Euro. A good choice is also the 9-Euro-Ticket, a temporary offer by the government, which enables you take all regional trains and local public transport in all Germany till the end of august. Have fun!
Hi, Maybe my answer is belated. We just came Back from Spain and found the reservation Systems in spain and France very inconsistent. While in France, you can reserve online or by phone, but never get places on the fast trains because they are sold out months before, in Spain it‘s the opposite. You can get your reservation only at the Ticket office but generally, they have places. But you have to wait long hours- in Barcelona, we spent 3 ½ hours at the railway station, in Sevilla, 1 ½ Hours. In france, you can take regional Trains, but in spain, they generally require reservation as well.On our way to Spain, we passed France by regional trains and also got à regional Train from Port Bou to Barcelona. Then , we could take the AVE. On our way Back to Germany, we Took the airplane because of all These insecurities and delays (in France, for example, we got into one of These frequent railworker strikes). So we couldn‘t do this since we had to assure to get Back to work and school.All the b
