Train fares and tariffs / Re: fares for train travel in Austria

« on: May 12, 2012, 02:53:18 pm »

Thank you very much for you prompt reply.  The Swiss Pass will still be valid for my son & as he will be travelling alone, he will be using the single Lander Bavaria ticket.  I will look at these options & work out the best for us to use.  I am so glad I used this site as you have given me ideas, that I would not have thought of otherwise.  It really does take the worry out of planning such a trip.
Very best wishes & thank you for the time & effort you put into helping people like me.

Wow! Thank you so much for that very detailed reply.  I will have a look into those options & see what works out best for lus.
We are not travelling untill September, so have time to purchase tickets in advance if we need to.
Just a couple of further questions please:
We are heading for Lucerne, so does that fit in quite well with your wonderful suggestions & my other question is,
can you give me an idea of the ferry cost from Lindau or Wasserburg to Swiss Rorschach.
We fly back to Australia from Zurich, but my son will be heading back to Munich for Octoberfest, so your input will be most
helpfull planning his trip back to Munich.
I really appreciated your advice, it has helped me so much.

Warmest regards

Train fares and tariffs / fares for train travel in Austria

« on: May 11, 2012, 05:19:47 pm »

Hi
We will be travelling from Mittenwald in Germany to Switzerland.  We will have a Swiss Rail Pass for the Swiss section of the rail journey.  I am trying to find out whether it is cheaper to order the tickets 90 days in advance or just pay for them on the day.
When I go onto the OBB website, I am unable to bring up any fares from Mittenwald to Buchs (the border station).
However, as a rough guide to the cost of the tickets, I have entered Innsbruck to Buchs.  If I enter the travel date, for instance, for tomorrow, the cost of the ticket comes up as the same price as when I enter a date for 90 days tiime. (28.90 euro, I think, in both cases)  Would this be correct?  If this is the case, I would be better off to purchase the tickets on the day of travel, rather than in advance, especially if the cost is the same.  There will be 4 adults travelling, & I understand from the website that the cost decreases for 4 tickets.  Is this correct?
Could you also please confirm, if I am able to purchase these tickets in Mittenwald for the journey to Buchs, or do I purchase Mittenwald to Innsbruck & then purchase Innsbruck to Buchs.  I think the cost from Mittenwald to Innsbruck is about 10 euro.

Any advice on theis would be very much appreciated.

Train fares and tariffs / Berlin to Dresden

Hi
is there a Lander ticket that covers the train trip from Berlin to Dresden?
I have tried looking, but am a bit confused as I think 2 regions are covered in this journey.
If not, what would be the cheapest option - we are 4 adults.
I would very much appreciate any suggestions
