We bought a couple of Global Passes yesterday (7 days in a month - 1st Class) which we secured just before the 20% discount ran out. Only condition is I can’t book anything commencing before Sep 1st, and we don’t leave Australia until Sep 8th, and won’t start the ticket use until late Sep.
Made our first booking today (London to Zurich) - no problem.
Up to the second booking now (Florence to Rome) and have noticed an anomaly.
- reservation fees start from EUR30 (1st & 2nd - 2 reservations)
- as soon as I select a specific service, the price jumps to EUR56 - no matter which service
- if I try my next booking (London to Milan) same thing occurs
If I log out, all bookings on these routes revert to EUR30.
Is there something strange occurring in Italy with reservations atm, or is this just the railway company gouging extra for the component of the ticket price they didn’t get?
If it’s the latter, I’m feeling very ripped off!!!
