AlfieMoon Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Bit late notice, but some of you may have seen this on Twitter. 25% off sale for interrail.eu. Global Promo Pass: 10 days travel = £275 15 days travel = £335 Would cover journey in/out from UK as well. Some additional charges for seat reservation fees depending on the country/train. Normally 5-10euros, but the most expensive one is Eurostar €38. Still very good value compared to flights. Yours, Carbon Neutral TA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours, Carbon Neutral TA Yes it is tempting but the 10 or 15 day span may not suffice for return trip should Scotland actually reach the knock-out stages.

It’s 15 travel days though, not 15 consecutive days. When you combine that with the free local travel on matchdays, or add on the €49 deutschland ticket (doesn’t cover ICE), then there’s a number of days you can prob use local train services to avoid consuming one of the 15days. I’m sure it’ll do me fine right up to Berlin in mid-July. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelloJock Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Thanks for sharing, this could be an option for me after the draw is made, even without the extra 25% it would still be good value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time has passed now for the sale price, but you only need to activate the pass by 1st June. That kicks off a 2 month window for you to start consuming the 10 or 15 days.

Looks like there's going to be a discounted Euro24 pass so I'll wait for that. https://www.uefa.com/returntoplay/news/0282-183ccb32ffb8-3dc57a869207-1000--deutsche-bahn-unveiled-as-national-partner-for-uefa-euro/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. You need to activate it by 1st June but there is then a longer window before you have to use it. You can activate it without using it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelloJock Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Do these let you travel from Glasgow down to London? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfieMoon Posted November 30, 2023 Author Share Posted November 30, 2023 9 hours ago, HelloJock said: Do these let you travel from Glasgow down to London? Yes. Travel from anywhere in the UK. I believe the terms are that your journey is supposed to go from starting place (Glasgow) to the outbound port (say London-Eurostar terminal, or Dover, Hull, etc.). and that journey to the continent should commence the same day. It doesn’t have to be a single leg journey, (I.e. you could go Inverness-Glasgow-London). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is fantastic value though, I plan to return home between games so this will allow that and not cost a fortune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There can only be one outbound,and one inbound journey, for your home country. So it wouldn’t allow you to from/to UK on multiple occasions.

I was thinking of doing a charter flight for game one, and returning my son home (if I can get him a ticket) then getting the train to Germany the following day, and staying until e are eliminated, that would work would it not?

HelloJock Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 The website is pretty confusing, it asks what your destination is but not where you're starting from and tells you to click on a map too add more destinations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the first 'destination' you need to put in is maybe your starting point? Then you add each destination from there. I think it's only really a pricing tool to be honest if you're looking at the same thing as me. It's taking your itinerary that you input and working out what the optimal pass is for you.
