The Eurail Pass range now features five new updates.
- The booking period is now extended to 11 months (previously six months), allowing travellers the flexibility of securing their rail travel plans further in advance, taking advantage of any promotions or discounts at the time of booking.
- The three-country Select Pass is back, giving travellers unlimited travel across three adjoining countries, based on their ticket validities.
- The Eurail Global Pass now includes three new validities, including ‘5 and 7 days in 1 month’ and a ‘22 days continuous’ pass. This gives travellers on very short or long stays the flexibility of using a pass that would better suit the duration of their travels around Europe.
- The passes themselves have also been more clearly named to avoid potential confusion. The three distinct passes include the Global Pass, the Select Pass (for two, three or four countries) and One Country Passes (a rail pass for any given country).
- Finally, the Scandinavian countries of Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland will have a dedicated one country pass, aptly named the Scandinavia Pass.
According to Rail Europe manager Australasia Ingrid c, Eurail Passes remain some of the most popular products used by Australian and New Zealand travellers to Europe, and the popular three country Select pass is a welcome re-addition to the range.
Kocijan said the new 11-month booking validity will also be particularly beneficial during the Earlybird airfare season when traditionally, travel agents were unable to purchase Eurail products more than six months in advance.
Rail Europe tickets are distributed by Rail Plus, Rail Tickets, CIT Holidays and Infinity Rail in Australia, and Rail Plus and Go Holidays in New Zealand.
