Hello !
your help would be greatly appreciated !
I will be traveling between the 15th and the 24th of may, and can’t figure out what would be cheapest:
- interrail global flexible 5 days within 10 days €169
- interrail two countries ( someone told me that one can find flexible 5/10 passes for 27 euros? Is that correct?, I can’t find that information on the internet)
-no interrail

I live in Paris.
Would be leaving on the 15th to Aachen with the Thalys ( 35 euros supplement)
On the 19th in the evening, I would be leaving from Aachen to Vienna, arriving in Vienna in the morning of the 20Th ( 25 euros supplement for couchette)
On the 23rd in the evening, I would be taking a train Vienna – Münich –Paris arriving on the 24th in the morning. ( 25 euros supplement for couchette)
I was thinking of getting one Germany and one Austria pass, but it may turn out to be cheaper to just take a global pass?
Does the global pass include my home country?

Thank you !

Hi.

If you want to use InterRail, buy the 5 days in 10 InterRail Global Pass. Using the rule for night trains, you won't even need all 5 travel days.
It is definitely cheaper than the one country passes.
The cheapest one country passes in YOUTH version are:

Germany: 3 travel days within 1 month - EUR 134
Austria: 3 travel days within 1 month - EUR 119

Maybe try to get special price tickets at the national railway companies, as you only have 3 trips in total. Check the websites of Thalys, [ux]https://rail.shop/bahn[/ux] and the one of [ux]https://rail.shop/sncf[/ux]. As your country of residence is not included in InterRail:
