Thank you so much! :D
@BrendanDB @rvdborgt The problem is, when I try to buy the diabolo tax in the website, it asks me my departure station and Amsterdam Centraal is not available in the options. Which station should I indicate there so I can buy it? I don't know if I'm searching in the right place, or if I should indicate the last station before the airport one (I think the available stations are only in Belgium).Should I wait to buy the diabolo tax physically in the ticket machines in the airport?
I'm afraid 2 supplements are being mixed up here: The IC Direct supplement in the Netherlands. This one is not needed for international tickets, including Interrail/Eurail. The Brussels Airport supplement ("diabolo tax”). This one is needed to exit or enter the station at Brussels Airport. You can buy it at online but there's also a ticket machine next to the gates. And sometimes the gates are open... How much is this diabolo tax? And can I buy it when I arrive at the airport, or do I need to buy it in Amsterdam? When I tried to buy it online I think it showed the full prices of the connection (as if I wanted to buy a ticket from Amsterdam to Brussels Airport, and it's not my case since I have the Interrail ticket offered by DiscoverEU). Do I need to select a station in Belgium to buy this fee? Since "From Amsterdam" would be an international connection, I'm having problems finding the option to buy this fee.
No supplement needed on this route. DiscoverEU/Rail Planner is incorrect. The pass (QR-code on the app) should work at gates. If it doesn’t, let the staff know. There is always someone at the gate. Reservations are not possible on trains in Belgium and the Netherlands. Trains have usually lots of capacity. If you’re worried, simply show early. As it’s the departure station, you won’t have a problem finding a seat. Like usual, people are lazy and mostly board trains in the middle. :) This connection run hourly. Thank you! :D If it doesn’t work, will I have any problems, like needing to pay a fine?
