Train fares and tariffs / Re: Geneva - Venice - Vienna - Prague - Geneva
« on: June 09, 2011, 12:50:30 am »
I am looking travel from Prague to Geneva (via Basel) on the CLN in about 2 weeks. I am in the US trying to purchase tickets. I have been to bahn.de, sbb.ch, and cd.cz/eshop and none allow me to purchase tickets on the overnight train (though I could easily get e-tickets on the daytime trains). I don't even see a fare listed.
Ideally, I would like a 2nd class, 2 person private sleeper but am traveling with a child and can manage with either the single or double compartment. If I go through raileurope.com, I am forced into a 1st class single sleeper. I keep reading that raileurope.com has inflated prices but I cannot even price compare since I cannot seem to find a fare anywhere else.
I have to travel on a specific date, and once in the Czech Republic I won't be near a train until the day of my travel so I'm afraid I will be closed out if I wait to buy at the station.
Any ideas?
