There would have to be some other huge reason besides one overnight train trip to spend the mega-bucks necessary to buy a railpass.<BR>

Yuko are you going to have a pass before traveling on this train or are you traveling by train to other cities as well? The reason I ask is if you have a Europass or EurailPass from raileurope.com you will see a huge savings in getting a sleeer to yourself. We traveled from Paris to Milan earlier this year via the overnight sleeper. It cost an extra $120 Euro for our own sleeper. We had already gotten a Europass before heading to Europe. Cheaper to buy pass in the US and then extra trips or upgrades in Europe. First class with a pass is not much more than 2nd class with a pass. I agree with Tom on the earlier post, don't spend a lot unless you will be traveling to other cities where a pass would be more econonimcal than point to point. Try raileurope.com, great site with schedules and maps.

Hi Yuko,<BR>You purchase your sleeper separate from your ticket or your railpass.
