Rail passes (Frankfurt and Eindhoven)?
Hello! I’d like to understand a bit better how rail passes work.
I need to buy 4 train tickets:
- 1 from Frankfurt (Germany) to Eindhoven (The Netherlands)
- 1 from Eindhoven to Cologne (Germany)
- 1 from Cologne to Dusseldorf (Germany)
- 1 from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt
Dates: Nov 16, Nov 19 and 2 tickets on Nov 20.
What do you suggest? A rail pass or single tickets?
I found one called Eurail Benelux – Germany Pass (8 days in 2 months, 1st class)
Would this be the best and most inexpensive option for first class tickets? Thank you!
The prices for single tickets vary depending on the time of travel, the type of trains used, and the route chosen. From Frankfurt Airport you may reach Cologne by an Intercity Express train on the high-speed track in less than one hour and pay €93.00 for the regular ticket in first class or you chose the 2:07 hours trip along the Rhine river valley and pay €67.00 to include some sight-seeing. Also prices are higher on times when everybody wants to travel and subsequently cheaper on less frequent used trains.
The list shows the prices in Euro (€) for 1st class tickets, 2nd class tickets are listed in parenthesis. When you compare the prices to your pass offer take into consideration that you still have to pay supplements or reservation-fees as a pass-holder whereas these are included in the single-ticket price.
Frankfurt Airport (Fernbahnhof) – Eindhoven: 105.40 – 162.40 (65.60 – 102.60)
Eindhoven – Cologne: 37.80 (24.20)
Cologne – Düsseldorf: 14.00 – 25.50 (9.30 – 16.00)
Düsseldorf – Frankfurt Airport: 77.00 – 109.00 (48.00 – 68.00)
