Travel plans, routes and timetables / Re: Booking Budapest to Prague Overnight Train for arrival at 6:30 am

There is the answer few message below

Nothing changes since those times
So - MAV website is unable sell ticket to overnight train to group of cars Budapest - Praha (arriving at 6:30) due to technical glitch. You can avoid this glitch by buying no next station after Praha (for example Decin or Usti) but in this case - you get ticket to group of cars Budapest - Berlin, which are passing Praha too early (near 4 am).

if I buy the ticket 2 days before I want to use it, will I have to pay full price?

probably yes. Number of seats at cheaper price is very limited, they are very quickly sold-out. The chance of being non sold-out in 2 days before advance is very small

Thanks for you for your advice.  I appreciate your helpfulness in answering my questions. I found thiswebsite is a great resource, especially since I am not experienced with train travel.  Thanks again!

Travel plans, routes and timetables / Booking Budapest to Prague Overnight Train for arrival at 6:30 am

« on: January 22, 2016, 03:36:32 am »

HI
I want to travel from Budapest to Prague in mid February on the overnight sleeper. I have read the detailed instructions for booking but could not find any information on the Hungarian Railways site for the sleeper that arrives in Prague at 6:30 am (476 Metropol /878) instead of 4 am (476 Metropol). I also looked on the Czech Railways website, searching Budapest to Prague and did find both options there. But I can' t book a Budapest to Prague one way ticket on the Czech site.

Does anyone know if is is possible to book the 476 Metropol /878 that arrives at 6:30 am on http://www.mavcsoport.hu/en ?

Or, do you just buy the ticket for the 476 Metropol and make sure you get on the right section of the train that will be delayed to arrive later?

If I can't book it in advance, if I buy the ticket 2 days before I want to use it, will I have to pay full price?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
