hi my name is chris and i'm looking forward to my first interrailing trip this september. the thing is my cousin has told me that i'll only be able to get on certain trains at certain times with an interrail ticket! can anyone tell me if this is true or if i'll be able to jump on any train i want any time a want? also i'm 29 so i don't get the under 25/26 discount so would it be cheaper to just get city to city tickets? hope you can help, thanks. :)

hi ...
like I mentioned in the mail to you (you do not have to double send/post it) - some trains need a supplement, some not. but you always find free trains (most part of the European trains are free of supplements!).
for the city-to-city tickets ... often it is cheaper to travel by InterRail - as well as you did not mentioned where you want to go... ;)
and yes, you might get special offers for single tickets for EUR 29 from Paris to Berlin or so: but you need luck, you have to book 3 months in advance and you are fixed on a date and time. if you miss the train: bad luck.
so you definitely have more freedom and flexibility to use an InterRail ticket.
Cheers, Peter :)
