I know if you travel FROM a country in which your railpass is valid INTO a country where it is not valid you will just pay the difference in price from the last station of your valid country.<BR><BR>1) Is there any problem doing it the other way around? (pay the difference when you get on the train and you don't have to disembark until you get to your final destination) Thx.<BR><BR>P.S. How do you search for messages that you've written in or started in these forums?? Thx. again...

You risk the chance - depending on the mood of the conductor to pay a fine, to just pay the difference you describe, or getting kicked off the train at the next station - I have seen all three. Its a heck of a lot less stressful to buy a country pass or trip pass the way you describe prior to the travel.

Buy the ticket BEFORE you get on the train.<BR><BR>I don't know if this scenerio helps you:<BR>We traveled to Salzburg, Austria with a Selectpass for Germany/France/Benelux. There was no extra charge in either direction.<BR><BR>Re search: the best bet is to pick ONE unusual word, or your name, but this won't help until your post has been indexed, which may take days... Have you narrowed search by country (assuming you chose one when you posted)?

The indexing has been updated two or three times this week. The last time was less than 12 hours ago. Hopefully, they will go back to doing it regularly.<BR><BR>You can find this post again by searching &quot;spawned&quot;, for example.<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>[email protected]<BR>

One other thing - - not sure what country you're trying to &quot;add on&quot; but if you are buying a pass that includes Germany or Austria (not that I receommend ANY pass), then you might want to look into the &quot;Czech out Prague&quot; deal being offered by Raileurope. Allows for any entry into CR to get to Prague, and then, any departure from Prague to the border (can be different from your border city of entry).<BR><BR>

Sorry to tag on, but here is a question I have been wondering. I have seen a lot of information about railpasses between Germany/Austria/Switzerland; I am going to be flying in and out of Amsterdam, but want to travel into Germany. Can I buy a railpass for just those two countires? I will be there for 7 days total.....

If you are traveling in a country that is not covered by your Railpass you simply buy a ticket for the portion of the trip which is not covered.<BR><BR>For example, we had Selectpasses for Germany, Switzerland, and Italy and traveled through Austria. We brought separate tickets covering the route through Austria before boarding the train. They charge you from the last stop in the country that is covered by the Railpass to the first stop in the next country that is covered. In my example it was ticketed from last stop in Germany before Austrian border to first stop in Italy.<BR><BR>You just present your Railpass along with the purchased ticket to the conductor once you're on the train. Just do be sure to buy it ahead of time, as there are penalties otherwise.

To jonesie:<BR><BR>A rail pass is almost surely NOT what you need. You just need tickets. Point-to-point tickets. Buy them IN Europe.<BR><BR>See www.railsaver.com and check your itinerary against the &quot;analyzer&quot; there.<BR>
