When do you plan to take the train @altcor ?@altcor ? And where? Just add the train you want to take in "My Trip" in the rail planner app, just a bit before you leave.

About 3 faster IC every hour, supplemented by lots of slower S-trains. If you go out of Belgium, avoid Thalys. It’s reservations are ridicoulously expensive for pass holders. Use the hourly IC to the Netherlands, or ordinary TGV’s to France (or go to Lille) or ICE to Germany (optional reservations). Thank you for the response! Since it doesn’t need reservations, is having a Global Pass enough as a ticket? Do we just show it at the e
