Train fares and tariffs / Italy Smart Ticket to Vienna, stop at Salzburg & Linz
« on: January 21, 2011, 07:17:12 pm »
Hi,
I am wondering if SMART ticket bought on trenitalia.com can have stopovers and only valid for 1 day. It says on trenitalia.com: The Smart ticket is valid only for the day, category and train booked on; cannot be altered. I am not sure about this....
If I buy Smart 2 overnight couchett ticket from Bolgona to Linz, and stop Salzburg in the morning for a few hours and catch afternoon train onward to Linz? As I am going to Ceske Krumlov from Linz.
I am also preparing to buy the same Smart 2 ticket from Bologna to Vienna but for a later day. As I am going further from Ceske Krumlov to Vienna. My plan is to go back to Linz to catch the same overnight train (from Italy) to Vienna. This way can save me a lot of money on fare. But I wonder is it OK to do so?
The Smart 2 ticket I check now single way from say Bologna to Linz for a 6 Couchett only cost 8 euro in March. It is also strange the Smart 1 ticket is higher than Smart 2, and this sales price is much lower than claimed 29 euro from Italy to Austria.
If this Smart Ticket can also allow me to make multiple stopovers, then I am also able to stop in Venice for a day trip from Bologna.
Please let me know if this is OK.
Thanks a lot for the help.
