Train fares and tariffs / Re: Italy Smart Ticket to Vienna, stop at Salzburg & Linz

« on: January 25, 2011, 02:37:00 pm »

hi,

I do look into the Bavaria-Bohemia ticket. It is the cheapest way from Germany to Czech!

yes, my destination is C.Krumlov. I am trying the route of your suggestion with the Bavaria-Bohemia ticket.

bahn.de is really good....it can also allow stopovers up to 48 hours with the same priced ticket in direct route.   

Thanks again for the reply. It really helps. A great website with so much info....

Hello,

Thanks for the quick reply. I really appreciate it and yes, I did try to book the ticket but it showed the same message as you said....Then I try to book a normal priced ticket, still trenitalia does not let me proceed to final stage. Maybe they are undergoing some maintenance....

Also is the night train from Venice to Prague not running anymore? Can't find any train info or time table on trenitalia.com....2-3 years ago, I took CNL direct train from AMS to Milan, with ticket bought on bahn.de for only 39 euro, it seems this route is not running also....

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.
