At the end of June this year, we got ourselves a Rail Pass. There was a promotion campaign around it, and the prices were reduced to 50% for some days. So we decicided to take advantage of this offer and got ourselves these passes. Only 304 € to travel 5 days within a month, without restrictions, in first class on whatever train. We'd use the pass to do some travelling in the Christmas period.
Last weekend we wanted to make a start with planning the trip. According to what the promotion promised, we'd be able to search for trains with the app, and also make seat reservations. Well, when we tried it gave - nada! The app just said they couldn't find train times and making reservation didn't work either. But when you went online to a site like Deutsche Bahn or B-Europe, you could find train times, buy tickets and make reservations.
So we dumped the pass - thanks to an extra we paid, we were fully refunded. What use it is when you can't use it?
Result: we have to make new plans for the Christmas period. Still thinking about it. Anyone else who had a bad experience with a rail pass?
