Can I take the European train pass several times a day?

I hope the following information can help you ~

1. Why do you need to buy train tickets in advance in China instead of buying them locally?

The European Train Pass sold in China is a discount ticket clock tailored by local train companies according to tourists. Tickets are priced by the number of days, and you can take the train unlimited times and mileage in one day, which is very suitable for self-help tours and business guests. This kind of pass is generally sold only outside Europe, not locally. Passengers can only buy train tickets point-to-point in the local area, which costs a lot, and even queue up to buy tickets in the peak season, wasting time; In addition, it is sometimes difficult to communicate because of language problems when purchasing tickets locally. It is recommended to purchase tickets in China.

2. What is the difference between continuous use and current flow?

Continuous use: continuous use is required from the first day of use. (For example, if you buy a classic pass for continuous use of 15 days and use it on July 5th, then the deadline of this pass is 0: 00 midnight on July 19).

Current Pass: You can take the train on any day within a certain period according to the validity period and number of days from the time when the purchased Pass is stamped at the railway station. Train tickets can be used continuously or intermittently. (For example, if you buy a classic pass for 2 months, you can use 10 days at will, and it will take effect on July 5th, so you can use 10 days from midnight on July 5th to September 4th).

3. Will there be a discount for multiple people to buy a pass together?

Many passes have preferential passes, and 2-5 people traveling together are about 15% lower than the normal fare.

4. Can I get a discount if I have a student ID card or buy a European train ticket with international student identity card?

No, but we offer another discount: youth discount. Those who have not reached the age of 26 when using the train ticket can enjoy this youth discount.

5. What happens if you have a youth ticket, but your age doesn't match?

Will be treated as evasion. In addition to the high fine, you need to pay the difference.

6. Is it free for children to buy train tickets?

Children enjoy free or half-price concessions when buying train tickets, but European countries have different regulations on the age of children. Generally, when buying a point-to-point ticket, children under 4 years old can take the train free of charge accompanied by an adult, children aged 4- 12 are half-price, and adults over 12 need to buy a full ticket. ? Please refer to the children's regulations for the pass.

7. How to calculate the age of young people and children?

Whether you can enjoy the preferential price for young children is not calculated by the age when you buy the ticket, but by the age when you take the train. Therefore, those who are under the age of 26 or 12 when actually using tickets can enjoy preferential prices for youth and children. For example:1978 65438+February 5, can I still buy the 2004 Youth Link? As long as they are all 25 years old before reaching the age of 26,1people born on February 5, 978 will not be 26 years old until February 5, 2004, and they were all 25 years old before. So as long as you take the train before February 4, 2004, you can enjoy the youth discount, but after February 5, 2004, it will be calculated according to the adult price. The same is true for children's tickets

8. How is the validity period of the pass calculated?

The validity of the pass is calculated by the month. For example, if the start date is July 2 1 and the validity period is one month, the end date is August 20 (24: 00 pm).

9. How to calculate the number of days of the current pass?

During the validity period, when you take the train, you should fill in the date of the day on the boarding pass, and you can take the train unlimited times that day.

10. If I take the night train, do I need to fill in the date of 2 days (current pass only)? If you take the through train leaving after 19 o'clock and arrive the next day, you only need to fill in the date of one day.

If your night train needs to change before 0 o'clock, you need to fill in the date of two days.

What's the difference between first class and second class?

The seats in the first-class cabin are generally aviation seats (the backrest angle can be adjusted), and there are fewer seats in the carriage than in the second-class cabin, so the luggage is more spacious. In some high-speed trains, the price of first class includes meals.

The price of second class is cheaper than that of first class, and the seats are more crowded.

In addition, some special trains, such as sightseeing trains in Switzerland, have panoramic windows in the first class and ordinary windows in the second class. In addition, some high-speed trains in Germany adopt new carriages, and each seat in the first-class seat is equipped with headphones, personal screens and other entertainment facilities.

12. If I have a first-class ticket, can I sit in second class?

If you have a first-class ticket, you can take a second-class ticket, but the difference is not refundable. If you have a second-class ticket and travel first class, you need to make up the difference.

13. Is there a box or bed in the car during the day?

During the day, the carriages are full of seats, and only the overnight train has a box.

14. What kind of boxes are there on the night train? 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 people. What's the difference?

The box of the night bus is generally divided into 1 box, 2 boxes, 3 boxes, 4 boxes and 6 boxes according to the setting of each country and each line. 1 person box belongs to the first class, and 2-person box is divided into first class or second class in different countries. 1 person box and 2-person box have basically the same facilities, including door locks, sockets, washbasins and luggage racks. 1 person box has one berth and two berths for two people (basically, one berth is above and one berth is below).

The 3-person box, 4-person box and 6-person box are all second-class cabins (in some countries, 4-person boxes belong to first-class cabins), and the 3-person box and 4-person box sit separately for men and women, and the 6-person box does not distinguish between men and women.

15. Is there a dining car on the European train?

Most long-distance trains have dining cars. Usually, you can sit directly in the dining car, but it is recommended that you make a reservation with the flight attendant in advance during the rush hour. If there is no dining car on the train, there will usually be a hand-propelled dining car.

16. Is there a non-smoking car on the train?

Yes, you can reserve a non-smoking seat in advance.

17. Can I reserve an stalls seat?

18. Do you have a seat after buying a through ticket or a point-to-point ticket?

No, a through ticket or a point-to-point ticket only proves that you can take the train, but it doesn't prove what you did on the train. If you want to confirm your seat, you need to make a reservation in advance. Note: Tickets for some European trains include seats, such as Eurostar. Passengers need to determine the boarding date and flight time when purchasing.

19. When do I need to make a reservation? ? When taking a train with a long distance and few flights, an overnight train or a train in the tourist season, it is best to reserve seats in advance, so as not to have to wait for the next flight or change the itinerary. If you book in advance, passengers should be seated according to the date, time, station, flight, city and seat number displayed on the reservation ticket. ? In addition, some high-speed trains in Europe need to reserve seats before boarding, such as TGV in France, Eurostar in Italy, AVE in Spain and so on.

20. How to make a reservation and how to collect the positioning fee?

If the date and frequency have been decided before departure, you can book tickets at the designated agency of domestic European railway companies. If the itinerary is not fixed, you can make a reservation at the local railway station and pay at the time of reservation.

2 1. If you enjoy the discount with the pass, will it take you a day?

If you enjoy the free discount, it will take one day, if not, it will take a few days.

22. Can I return the train ticket? How much is the refund fee?

Each passenger can carry two pieces of luggage and carry-on luggage, which can be put under the seat or on the overhead rack. ? On the train, there are spaces for large luggage in the front and back of each carriage, and large luggage can be placed. Valuables or small luggage carried with you can be placed under the seat or on the overhead rack.

26. If the train arrives, will there be a broadcast? ? Will broadcast, but generally in the local language, so pay attention to the signs of the station.

When do I check in for the European train? Will there be no ticket checking? ? There are no special ticket inspectors at European railway stations. After the train starts, the flight attendants will start checking tickets. Generally speaking, they will only check the tickets once before getting off the bus, but sometimes they will check them more than twice. Occasionally, when driving a short distance, the flight attendants will get off first and then look for tickets, but there are few opportunities. If the evasion is found, a high fine will be imposed. Passengers should always have their tickets and passports ready for inspection by flight attendants or customs officers.

29. Do I need a visa to pass through the country without getting off? Yes, as long as the train passes through the country, even if the passengers don't get off midway, or even if the train only passes through the country without stopping at any station, the passengers must still hold a valid visa of the country, and the scope of use of the train ticket must cover the country. Before and after the train passes through the border, customs officers will check each passenger's passport, visa and other travel documents. If they don't have a valid visa for future reference, they will be sent back to the country where the train leaves.

30. If I have a pass, can I take all the trains?

The vast majority of trains in Europe are state-owned railways, and you can take them with a pass. However, there are also some privately-run trains, mountaineering railways and cable cars all over Europe, such as Mount Tillis and Jungfrau in Switzerland. You can't ride for free with a pass, but you can enjoy certain discounts.

3 1. Can I use a train ticket for local transportation?

You can take the state-owned train between cities with a European train ticket, which is not suitable for urban transportation such as subway, tram and bus. However, in addition to state-owned trains, the Swiss Pass can take most of Switzerland's cruise ships and mail cars.
