Looked at thetrainhacker.com which took you to Klook but after checking again for x2 seniors I find it is coming up more than Eurail itself.Site 2 was news.com with a 45% off making seniors cheaper so that may be my best option as it is for 10 days over 2 mths Pass. Hope that this offer can be honoured!
Hullo thibcabeThanks of the info regarding the use of Rail Planner or DB Navigator (the latter I have already, but yet to use).Just a quick question please?When I purchase the 10 days (2mths) pass how easy wis it to upgrade to the 15 day pass if we see that we are using it further along on the trip, especially in the UK?
Hullo thibcabeNearly there but I still can’t get my head around how this is going to work.I buy my Eurail Pass and when I go to check train times and secure a ticket what happens then as to the fact that I will not be paying, unless I have to reserve a seat.Is there something on the Trainline site eg Trainline, Ohio etc that I have to tick as I go through the process? I can’t do a dummy run to check it out as tickets are not up online yet.Affter the recent purchase of Amsterdam-Berlin Omio ticket that is not refundable or able to be used on S & U bhans, I am panicking. I know once I get the system worked out it will flow so any prescriptive steps would be so so helpful.Thanks in anticipation and grateful appreciation for your patienceGlennis
Hullo thibcabeTalking of Skye this came from the friend in Cannock who we will be visiting in England. It might be of interest to you.https://www.facebook.com/SkyrShepherdHuts/?locale=en_GB1 Heaste, By Broadford, Broadford, UK 07580 559745janet@skyeshepherdhuts.co.ukFrom 90 pounds a night, remote, no wifiThanks for all these forthcoming tips. It is really appreciated.
Hullo thibcabe, I had originally thought of a 10 day pass with minor trips in France in back of mind.Dates for these journeys are 14/4 through to 27/4 so it falls into a month range as we are only doing x4 major hops:Berlin-KrakowKrakow-PraguePrague-MunichMunich-BeauneI can see the possibility of some French travel ns then potentially UK so I can see the sense of a 10 day option if it will be utilised for the money.Thought of flying (RyanAir) from Nancy/Metz to Belfast or Edinburgh depending on deal for a hire van (sleep in). Then the question was whether to hire for rest of UK/Scotland vs the train and a Pass. Thank you for info re Scotland railway. Can you be more specific as to name and location please?Perhaps that could be done first if we flew to Scotland and then made our way over to Ireland later.Again many thanks in appreciation.Glennis
You are a veritable wealth of information and thank you for putting my mind at rest. Those connections and transfers were a worry as some are a very short space of time.Now the main decision to make is what number of day pass to purchase, obviously cheaper the more days of use.Unfortunately I have already purchased tickets from Amsterdam to Berlin before learning so much about Eurail passes. Could have been included of course in the major trips.We will be in France (primarily Beaune) for 3 weeks but could train somewhere. We then plan to fly to Ireland and self drive around.May then hand the car back in and use the pass (or hire car) to see more of UK, Scotland and Wales before heading home to Australia from London mid June.Thank you again for your help and ideas.
Thanks for such a helpful response. I am slowly getting my head around all of this with your invaluable tips.As I understand it if we choose to buy a 2nd class Global Pass then each time we use a train we need to use 2nd class reservations? Is it really a lot of difference between 1st and 2nd for the trips we are taking. I was unable to find cost of accommodation option for overnight on Czech Railways for 19 April as too far out. That would obviously need to be reserved?The Munich to Beaune is causing us angst. Is it worthwhile trying to do half train and half bus even or is there another suggestion you may have please?Thanks in anticipation.
Hullo thibcabe,We are getting a train from Berlin to Krakow 14/4/2024. Then from Krakow to Prague, Prague to Munich and lastly Munich to Beaune France on 27/4/2024 - a period of two weeks. We will stay a few days in each destination.Considering the 7 or 10 day global pass for seniors. Thought it could also be extended if needed to cover France and UK trains which are later...One concern is I have not been able to secure any real info re train from Berlin to Poland as it appears that they don’t open reservations up until mid February and I was trying to get organised beforehand as wet to book in tours an accommodation. I saw one post that said it might be better to purchase that ticket when in Netherlands of Germany??Appreciate your response re this query, thank you.
My dilemma is that we have four major (long) train trips for 2. I am trying to determine if it is cheaper to use a Eurail pass versus buying a ticket in each country independently. Appreciate all suggestions and response to date. Thank you.
