Hi Tut,
The 83.20.fare is flexible.Does this mean that if i purchase this then i don't need to book a specific time yet and this can be booked close to the time?

Hi,
Just been checking out the Austrian train site and noticed that we can book for our trip (7thSept) which is more than 90 days in advanced.
When i select the fare and time and go to the next step it asks me for compartment type or salon etc.
What is the differance with all these and does the price change with each separte selection.
I have gone as far as filling out the credit card details but i didn't want to go to far as yet as i was a bit worried about being charged(i just want get prices before being charged)can you please send me the steps i need to take?

Do we need to change trains once we get to Gare Du Nord or does it continue onto 'Châtelet-Les-Halles' without us getting off?
Also,once we get to Charles de Galle airport (terminal 1) will this also be the only train we will need to catch?My understanding of the airport is that it passes through each terminal.

What about once we arrive into Charles de Gaulle airport.Does the train from the airport that travels to Gare Du Nord continue to a station close to the Louve or do we need to catch another train from Gare Du Nord?

Hi again,
as i am getting closer to booking our train trip from Paris to Munich (from the German train site)i was hoping you could tell me from which station exactly in Paris is best to leave from.
We will be staying near the Louve so we are hoping to leave from the nearest station from there.

Hi Tut,
Once we leave Nice,can we take the train to the Cinque Terre?
My understanding is we leave Nice and travel to Genoa all the way along the coast to and through the Cinque Terre to La Specia then to Pisa and finally to Florence.
We are thinking of staying in Cinque Terre for one or two nights before travelling to Pisa for a quick stop to see the leaning tower and then stopping in Florence for a few nights.
Is all this possible?

PICTURES AS WELL! SIMPLY AWESOME!
THANKS HEAPS.
Hope you don't mind but while i have been on trip advisor lately i have read about peoples questions on how to get around Europe by train.
I have answered a few and simply told them about your website and told them to look you up.
You know i'll be back with more questions!!!!

Hi Again,
i was wondering if you could please update you last example you left for me?At the moment when you go to the links-that you underlined "morning one" and "this"the web site says that there is an error.I just wanted to check the example you left and i think it has timed out.I also was trying to find the "Europa-spezial Frankreich"are.

Thanks for looking over my spreadsheet.
I will now wait until closer to the time to start looking at booking.
Still not sure how to go about booking once it is time.For example the trip from PARIS to MUNICH can be booked 90 days in advance.
Should i book using credit card or is there another way?I know you say they may give me a code for the ticket pickup (at some places)but is this the way to book -by card? Sorry but can you go over this part of the booking again for me?

Hi Tut,
I have been looking over all the info you have given me and have been trying to take it all in.(a lot of info!)
First of all your suggestion was to go PARIS,MUNICH,SALZBURG,LUCERNE,NICE-via MILAN & VENTIMIGLIA,then back to VENICE via VENTIMIGLIA & MILAN,FLORENCE and ROME.
What we are thinking is PARIS,MUNICH,SALZBURG,VENICE,LUCERNE,NICE-via MILAN & VENTIMIGLIA,FLORENCE via VENTIMIGLIA & MILAN and ROME.
Is it possible to travel from SALZBURG to VENICE then LUCERNE etc,etc.
As we travel from LUCERNE to NICE via MILAN & VENTIMIGLIA,will it be much of a wait at MILAN or do we just transfer straight away?
At the moment i am thinking that for all of the Italian part of the trip we just book on the spot (no need to pre book in advance) do you think this is ok?
As you can see i am trying to keep it all as simple as possible especially with the booking for each trip.
For the parts of each trip that will require pre booking, what do you recommend--do i purchase tickets with credit card and print the tickets myself or get them sent out via post?
SORRY to be a pest with all the questions but you are the best person for this -even better than travel agents who really have no idea!!!

Hi again
More questions!
1.could you please provide me with the names of the main stations (or the codes used when searching for these on all the websites) for the above mentioned cities.
2.when searching through all the European train sites should i be selecting first class rather than second class?
3.with these cheaper options that you have found,does this mean that the trains are also of a cheap quality?
4.could you please map out for me exactly which site to book from and from which city and how far in advance to book.
5.could you also guide me through each website as to how to get through the site to get to exactly where you have indicated ie;super saver passes etc.
We like your suggestion of Paris-Munich-Salzburg-Lucerne-(via Milan)onto Nice-back to Milan-Veice-Florence-Rome.
as this is our first family trip overseas we want to make sure that we understand fully the ins and outs of train travel in Europe so please bare with me and all my questions.

Hi again,
We have slightly changed our plans.
We want to travel to Paris,Lucerne,Munich,Salzburg,Venice,Nice, Florence and Rome.
Not really sure which is the best order and most cost effective route to take but the places we would like to go to are mentioned above.
Originally we were thinking of going to Lyon purely to break up the train trip a little but we now think that there is really no point in stopping in Lyon.
We are thinking of staying (at this stage) in Paris 5 nights,Lucerne 3 nights,Munich 2-3 nights,Salzburg 2-3 nights,Verona 5 nights,Nice 4-5 nights,Florence 5 nights and Rome 5 nights.
The questions are-which route would you go?
would you add a destination to make the travel any easier?
or should we leave a destination off to make it easier?
Bare in mind that we need to finish in rome no matter what way we go around as we have family in the south of Italy that we will visit after our tour.
After your response i will ask you more about trains and fares--thanks.

Thanks for your fast response to my post. I will check out your advice and get back to you once i have checked it all out. This advice has been great. We have been to travel agents and checked out several websites and none of them have been as helpful and informative as you. My family thanks you.
