Hello!
I was wondering what the cheapest way of traveling between Brussels and Amsterdam was. I know there is the thalys train but when I go on the website to make reservations, the price is like 55€ a person and I don't seem to be getting a discount for having the Interrail pass. Is there a different way to travel or am I using thalys wrong?
Thank youu!

WHY not give full info-like if you have that pass, for BOTH countries valid, if you want to spend a 'passday'' on it, etc.
For non-pass holders by far the cheapest is the BUS; eurolines or megabus, from 10 or 5 eur/single, if booked advance and stick to it. If you want just to do that trip on 1 day, its also cheaper as any ''passday''. Same for BRU-Paris.
IF you have IR, valid in both BE and NL, its FREE if you simply follow the instructions given here on this site, but thats slower as Thalys and will need at least 1 change-mostly in Rotterdam or den Haag HS. You canNOT book on any site supplmt for Thalys,and its very high for IR-holders, in fact more as the 25 or 29 eur they advertise as min. advance bookingprice. (the whole way PAR-AMS is from 35 eur-and not that difficult to find, again advacne only)
