Thank U v much.Got the pass last night, now I am trying to reserve the seats from Paris to Zurich via fast train. I am unable to find the connection rail planner app and upon looking on snfc connect, I can find the trains but then unable to enter the Global pass so that I just reseve the seat. Can someone pls help and guide what's the best way to book
Thank you. Noted.Also, in terms of buying the pass do you suggest buying the pass directly from Eurail website or partner website like https://www.klook.com/en-AU/ as they have discounts going on (5%).Not sure, are there any ways to get discounts directly via Eurail for global pass?
Thanks for the plan. More advice : Eurostar to Paris : Thursday during school holidays → book well in advance. Works : you’ll avoid the 3 months closure towards Milan so that’s good. Now the question is either leaving early at 6am or taking it slowly and leaving Zermatt at midday (I’d do that!). Glacier Express : you’d need to pay 4 x 44 CHF reservations for the 1h20 journey from Brig to Zermatt. More expensive than a ticket! You’d also be tied to the 16:50 train, carriages will be full and loud. Honestly I would advise against that. Instead take a regular regional train running every 30 min along the same route. For more scenery beforehand : avoid the 37km long Lötschberg base tunnel used by the Intercity trains and instead use the hourly RE along the old route (via Kandersteg). Really beautiful with a great view over the valley! The highlight of the Glacier Express route (not train) is further east in the Alps. Italian high-speed trains (Frecciarossas) are frequent and availability
What are your travel dates ? Just asking because : timetables after June have not been published yet in Italy, nor earlier ones in France (but those will be soon) part of the Simplon route (Domodossola - Milan) will be closed for 3 months from 9th June to 8th September. Replacement buses will run, taking 1-1h30 longer. Outside these works the line is still closed for a few hours every day all year round so you either need to wake up early or arrive at 7:30pm. There is a direct train from Brig to Venice in the morning so you’d only need to pay 13€ once but it’d mean a 05:37 or 06:13 departure from Zermatt! Otherwise via Milan as said, for example leaving at around midday and arrival at 7:30pm → more relaxed choice. Some advice in chronological order (I totally agree with what’s already been said) : Eurostar trains (London - Paris) have a passholder quota so you should book as soon as your dates are set, especially for morning trains on weekends. There are ways to lower the 29€ cross-b
Noted. Thank youYes, I am aware about the stations. I am staying in Hilton Ven hence was looking from that side.This is helpful.
Thank you.So the Global Pass is valid on Trenitalia’s line, that's good to know. For eg: I am looking for a train from Ven to Rome for 20 Apr, the below express train would be covered by this pass and I only need to pay for seat reservation. Is that correct?
Thank you v much for your response. The total no of days from London to Naples is 24, hence looking for flexible pass as continuous pass will be bit more expensive.What I am bit unsure about and not able to find, what's trains I would need to take from Zermatt to Venezia Mestre and how long it would take and will the entire journey be covered with Global pass. Can you help here?Also, when I am looking for train between Venezia and Rome how do I make sure that I am only looking at trains that are covered by Global pass? I am looking at https://www.trenitalia.com/en.html ? Also, I need to make sure that my travel is covered via express train, so can I check?Any help and guidance will be appreciated.
