Supplaments with 1st Class Select Railpass
Wed, 06/06/2007 - 08:40
Wanted to try to get an idea on what to expect with the supplament charges that occur with my rail pass. I have the 4 country select pass(5 days of Travel) And it is 1st class. I’m leaving next Sunday and whated to see if anyone can give me an idea of what to expect so I can budget as best as possible. Thanks.

It depends on where you are traveling — which countries and which specific trains you choose to take.
Supplements are very rare — it’s unlikely you’ll pay any supplements, except on overnight trains or if you travel some of the privately owned railways in Switzerland.
Trains that require reservations are fairly common. Many of the “name” express trains between major cities require reservations, although you can often avoid reservations by taking slightly slower local and regional trains. Reservations usually cost about 5 euros. However, some premium trains (EurostarItalia, Thalys, etc.) require reservations that cost up to 19 euros.
There’s a list, by country, of trains that require reservations and supplements with the approximate cost to buy them in Europe (they’re much more expensive to buy from the railpass websites) at www.railpass.com Click on “info center” then “using your railpass” then “supplements..”
