Hi,
I came across this website from the Tripadvisor forum and going through the tips and tricks, I find it really useful. :-)
I am sure this topic has been posted somewhere but somehow I cannot get to book the tickets via MAV. We are 4 people (family) travelling from Budapest (Keleti?) to Prague on the night of 23rd August (so I guess I am well within the 60 day threshold for booking). We would like to have a couchette/sleeping compartment (2x2) for us. However MAV shows no availability (already!) for the dates. I cross-checked with German Railways yesterday (easy since I am sitting in Germany :-)) and they said both are available and the couchettes cost ~€480 while 2x2 sleeping compartments would set us back by ~€550. This appears to me to be too expensive compared to the prices I have read here and also on other forums.
I would be grateful for any tips on how best to book the tickets on MAV (only one-way, no return) and also on a heads-up regarding whether the German rail prices are in the right range (in that case I can book from here). Thanks a lot for your help. :-)
Cheers!
