Train fares and tariffs / Italy Rail Pass seems to pay?
« on: February 02, 2011, 06:14:02 pm »
Two 4 day Italy Rail pass costs 290E.  We are planning 4 train journeys in April and I priced them out on Trenitalia: MXP-Rome(98E+), Rome-Sorrento(70E), Sorrento to Florence(100E+), and Florence to Milan-Bergamo (84E+).  I'm not sure if these prices - most of them are MINI include a reservation fee.  All are ES high speed trains which we prefer.  Will the extra reservation fees still make it cheaper to buy point to point?

Train fares and tariffs / Understanding "international TCV tariff tickets"
« on: September 29, 2010, 02:23:50 am »
I need help understanding how "international TCV tariff tickets" work. When I read the tips it says that you have to start your journey in an Eastern European Country, yet this example is given ( on http://europetrainsguide.com/Countries/Switzerland/Switzerland-SBB/CFF/FFS/VFS.html): St.Gallen-Zurich-Lucerne-Interlken-Berne-Lausanne-Geneva ticket valid for two month with unlimited stopovers on the route costs only 63.2 euro (with standard TCV tariff price)

I checked and St. Gallen is in Switzerland, so how does this work?  Will this trick help me with my itinerary?

I've spent weeks trying to find a reasonable price for Lauterbrunnen to Milan (actually Vernazza) leaving early on Oct. 23.  I'm wondering if I should I wait until Oct. 10 to book a possible SuperSaver ticket?  Should I use Switzerland or Italy's train websites to book, or won't it make any difference?

I booked Eindhoven to Lauterbrunnen for two and paid over $250Cdn on Bahn.  I'm starting to think two -five day Flex pass for $800, or skipping the trains altogether and flying to Italy would have been a smarter move.

Thanks for letting me ask all these questions.
