Travel plans, routes and timetables / Budapest-Bratislava
« on: May 09, 2013, 04:02:49 pm »
Hello,

I am sorry if this question has been asked before, but the Hungarian train website is so user-unfriendly that I can't seem to figure it out even having read through some of the previous posts.

I would like a one-way ticket for myself from Budapest to Bratislava on 31 May (preferably for the one leaving from Budapest-Keleti at 17.25), and since I live in Germany, I would like to purchase the ticket online asap. However, when I try to buy the ticket on elvira.mav-start.hu, and I enter the date and the stations, enter my birthday, and click on "Tickets and Prices," it says "No offer available for the journey with these conditions. For the list of available offers click here." At the same time, Budapest-Bratislava IS among the available offers when I click on the link. For whatever reason though, I can't seem to be able to buy the ticket online. Any help would be appreciated, language (Hungarian/English) is not a problem.

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi,
I would like to take the EN 476 Metropol night train from Bratislava to Berlin. The German Deutsche Bahn website has these so-called SparNight deals for this train (69 EUR for 3-bed compartment, 79 EUR for 2-bed compartment). Once those tickets are sold, they start selling the"Europa-Spezial Slowakei" tickets (75 and 88 EUR), and the "Globalpreis" tickets (120 and 139 EUR).
My problem is, I would very much like to book the SparNight ticket (according to db.de there are still such tickets for the train I have chosen), but the German website does not allow me to book an online ticket for this connection - they only send tickets by post, but I'm assuming they only send them within Germany, and I live in Slovakia. (Very annoying Deutsche Bahn doesn't sell online tickets for night trains, since it's not a problem for day train tickets.)
I went to the train station in Bratislava, and they said they can only sell me a ticket for a Globalpreis (120 or 139). They claimed they knew of no such thing as SparNight.
Tried to book it on the Slovak and Czech website, but they do not allow me.
The question is: where can I book the SparNight ticket from Bratislava to Berlin if I am not living in Germany? Would very much appreciate an answer, I can't afford the more expensive ticket...
Thank you,
Judit
