Hi,
Thank you very much, this is incredibly helpful!
Just one followup question - if I buy a round ticket for  28,50 euro (or 36,5 euro), can I catch the 6:30am train for Budapest - Kosice, and catch ANY later train to Poprad? That sounds great!
Also, any idea about the Kosice-Poprad (2,6-5,30 euro) ticket if I buy one online on the Slovak Rail website? Would I be tied to the train I buy it for, or can I use it on any train too?
Thanks again!

Travel plans, routes and timetables / Budapest to Poprad

Hello,
I'm visiting Central Europe with my family (5 of us, incl two small children) planning to travel (one-way) from Budapest to Poprad. However, when I search one-way on www.mavcsoport.hu/en I don't find a train. Interestingly, if I try to book a return ticket, it shows a train for Eu20! I therefore had a couple of questions related to this:
(a) Does Eu20 sound reasonable for a one-way journey?
(b) Are these discounted fares, or can I buy a one-way ticket (for approximately this price) in person after I reach Budapest?
(c) If it is better to book ahead, is it safe to book a round ticket though I plan to travel only one way? Or will there be a problem?
(d) The train shown is Budapest - Kosice - Poprad with an 8min connection time. Since I am traveling with children and luggage, I am not sure if this will suffice. Is there any way I can search with a longer connection time? OR should I book two tickets, one Budapest -  Kosice on www.mavcsoport.hu/en and a later train for Kosice - Poprad on the Slovak Train site?

Appreciate any help you can provide with this booking!
Thanks & Regards,
- JK
