How do you book a sleeper carwith rail europe? |
|
On the Rail Europe website how
do you select a sleeping car,
or make the choice between
sleeper, couchette, regular
seat etc.
Or is there a better way to
book (mainly eastern europe) |
 |
On the raileurope website, you
can only buy the full ticket,
and if you're booking a night
train, click on details and it
tells you whether you're in a
T6 or T4 couchette
compartment, and if you click
on the most expensive it's
probably a better compartment.
The only problem is if you
have a railpass, there's no
way just to reserve and pay
the supplement for a
couchette. My advice is to go
to a train station as soon as
you get to Europe and book the
reservations there. If you
have a railpass, show it to
them and they will only charge
you the supplement. If a train
station can't do it for a
train in another country, try
a travel agency in Europe that
sells train tickets. I was
able to pay for a couchette
supplement in Amsterdam for a
train in Germany. In some
cases you can just book it the
morning of the departure, but
popular routes can sell out,
so it's better to go a day or
two in advance. There's a
great wwebsite about train
travel that might have some
info for you.

How does the rail europeexpress train work? |
|
We will be in Madrid and from
there we want to go to other
countries but are unaware how
to go about this with trains.
Any ideas? |
|
Really depends on how many
countries you intend to visit.
Rail passes can be useful, and
pay for themselves, if used
for long trips. Look at the
RailEurope website to find out
which pass would be relevant
to your needs.
If you're travelling within
Spain, it is usually cheaper
to buy point-to-point tickets
than to use up a Rail Pass
day.
You don't say which country
you'll travel to after Spain,
but the Spanish National
Railway - RENFE - website
should provide some idea of
timetables and prices eg
Madrid to Paris:
http://horarios.renfe.es/hir/i
ngles.html
Passes can be bought through
RailEurope, RailPlus or
Eurail. It's also possible to
book tickets in advance
through these websites. Be
aware that, even with a rail
pass, you may still need to
pay a supplement to reserve a
seat, or sleeper. |

Are you able to exchange RailEurope tickets? |
|
We need a different date for a
train ticket we already
purchased. It's for a one way
trip in November. I couldn't
find this information on their
site. How could I go about
changing the reservation?
Thanks. |
|
You should be able to change
on the site where you bought
the tickets, search for a
button like 'contact' or
'e-mail'.
If it does not work try with
the train company you will
travel with, read on:
Mostly the tickets that are
sold are from a train company,
not Rail Europe, and many
companies have different
rules.
If you have your ticket it may
say something like:
Valid for two months, or valid
from (date) to (date).
In that case you only need to
change reservations if you
have made them for a
particular date.
Or the ticket can be for one
train only, most high-speed
trains work that way, in that
case you need to contact the
high-speed train company you
travel on. You will need to
exchange the ticket, or mostly
to buy new tickets for which
the old tickets are accepted
as part payment. (You will
have to pay the difference in
price and will loose a little
on the value of the first
ticket.)
If your ticket is a
combination of both kinds of
tickets you will only need to
change the parts that are
relevant.
Or the ticket is for one
particular day, mostly just
ticket within one country, or
you need to change outside the
period when the ticket is
valid.
Contact the national train
company for the country where
you travel, to ask what to do.
As you do not give any
information on where you will
be traveling I can not give
you the contact information.
But you will mostly find it
when you google on the name of
the country and train
information.
If you can not find what you
need, contact me with more
info and I will search for
you. |
