Is there anywhere for bags in the 6 seater compartments ?

Regards,
Matt.

[Peter]

yes it is ... under the lower beds/seats and over the door. Peter

[mlbbrown]

Peter, you're a star. Roughly what size bag are we looking at?

Also, how comfortable is it ?

And....when you book your ticket, can the date on it be flexible at all ?

[Peter]

1) size... a medium 80 litres suitcase or bag pack ... if you have a monster one, it also will fit in the compartment, but with less space for the others - this won't be a problem during the night.
2) it is comfortable - I can recommend it. it always depend on how much you want to pay. in a 2 person compartment you are more comfortable. but for a 6 person, it is okay!
3) no ... you are no flexible. if you book a bed in a night train, you are fixed on the date and time. but it is the same for a seat in a day train. the only thing is that you can get refunded the reservation (as much as I know - but no guarantee on this answer) - but with a fee of EUR 15.

Just to confirm, the €3,50 seats are comfortable enough to sleep in ?

And the cost is independent of the distance you intend to travel ?

[Peter]

me personally, I can sleep in such seats. I use my iPod and I will sleep - of course there is more noise than in a closed 2 bed compartment, but that's normal.
and the 3,50 is independent of the distance !!

hi there are 8 of us going!in the sleeper cars it is 40euro for a 4 person berth with washing facilities. is that 40euro total or per person?as if it is total it is very cheap!

[Peter]

hi ... it is always per person - not per berth.

Hi Peter!
Can i buy the supplement in a station or somewhere by person. I mean, I wont be too much days in any city, so im not sure if i could wait for the delivery service.
If i go to the station a few hours before the train leaves, will be able to buy the supplement there?
Thank you!

[Peter]

hi Lucina ...
no problem to buy the ticket some hours before train departure. But sometimes the train can be full ... especially night trains in summer are often full. But often you get at least a seat... if this is no problem for you, then do it your way!!
and as well you are not to much fixed on dates and times and more flexible and free !

[lucina]

ok...thank you.
i will travel in winter, so i hope that the trains wont be full.
i´ll buy the supplements when i arrive to the city, but sometimes, i´ll be there for just a few hours.

[Peter]

in winter you normally get a seat/bed even hours before train departure. often you can even just enter the train and ask the staff for a bed/seat - which is sometimes a bit more expensive - but in an emergency okay.
just avoid Friday and Sunday nights... there the night trains might be fuller

berlin-paris-train-t2545.html

since it leaves after 1900 it will only count as one day

[bluepaw]

the night train between berlin and copenhagen is, berlin-malmö-copenhagen.

and there is a sea travel between germany and sweeden. is there any extra fees to be paid for this?

[flow]

There's no direct night train from Berlin to Kopenhagen, you have to change in Malmö: berlin-sweden-night-express-t1185.html

There's one direct ICE via Hamburg, leaving Berlin at 1526 (leaving from Gesundbrunnen at 1544 from June 20 till July 3).

When I read the Interrail website, I understand one must live in an European country to take advantage of the low IR fares. Is this correct? Through this forum I understood the cost of a T2 -Economy was 50E per person, however several websites indicate the cost for 2 people in a T2 travelling from Munich to Florence on the CNL is well over 100 E per person. Is the 50E quote for people living in Europe? Will we pay a higher price coming from Canada?

Is a quote of 119-135Euro for 2 people in a T2 Economy sleeper the average price? If not what is the best way to access a lower fare.

I apologise for asking this questions again but I'm using my age and inexperience with train travel as my excuse. LOL I am sincerely grateful for your patience and would really appreciate your feedback.

hi ...
the supplements mentioned above are only for persons travelling with an InterRail ticket - prices are per person.
if you want to get these discounted supplements, think about an EURAIL ticket which is nearly the same like InterRail - only for Non-Europeans - have a search on Google for it.
if you want to travel without a railpass, you can buy single train tickets which will be about 150 EUR per person in a T2 (double bed cabin) including everything ...
I hope this will help you and do not hesitate to ask if you have some problems - even this website is only for InterRailers.
