Need Info on Italy Rail Reservation Fees.
I'm thinking of buying an Italy Rail Pass and am trying to see if it
is a good value. I am able to get fares through the Italy Rail web site, but the site doesn't show the additional "Reservation Charge" for the following trains: IC IC Plus TAV (ES) I am assuming that this Reservation Charge applies to the train and not the distance traveled. Thank you for your help. Bruce |

I hope you understand that a reservation saves you a seat; it is not a ticket to ride. Certain premium trains like high speed trains will include the reservation in the price of the ticket, but otherwise they are not necessary unless you have a need to assure a seat for yourself or for you and the people you are travelling with. Reservation prices are not dependent on distance travelled. By the way, rail passes rarely save money over the cost of buying tickets on the ground. Whether the convenience of a pass is worth the extra money is a different question. -- ************* DAVE HATUNEN ) ************* * Tucson Arizona, out where the cacti grow * * My typos & mispellings are intentional copyright traps * |
