Hello,
I will start my journay on 25th at 22:00. This is the first train that I will get in.
So, which start date should I write to my ticket as a start date of a 22-day ticket. (NOT FLEXI)
25th or 26th ?

Hi!
[b]Where[/b] do you start your journey on the 25th at 2200? If you start somewhere in your country of residence, you'd need a regular ticket up until the border. So you have several options:
- Get a regular ticket to the border (or first station after the border, if the train doesnt stop at the border) and activate your IR ticket on 26th (as long as you have left your country of residence at this time)
- Get a regular ticket to the border (same thing as above) but with the IR discount (50% in most countries). But then you will have to activate your IR ticket on the 25th already.
- If you start your journey at a place not in your country of residence on 25th at 2200 you will have to activate your ticket on 25th.
Hope that helped - if something's still unclear please ask. :)

Thanks for your answer.
I am starting in another country. Where is the place of this written rule that you mention? Is there a rule on that?
Thanks
