hey guys I need a little help. ok here go, i will be traveling from paris to switzerland by train then after a couple of days i will be leaving for Italy to venice and eventually going to rome from there. Ok so i will buy a ticket from paris to basel at which point i will buy swiss pass for 4 days since I'm staying 4 days in swiss (buying the ticket in basel). After i leave switzerland i will go to Italy from interlaken to milan which i buy a ticket separately then another from milan to venice since theres no direct train from interlaken to venice…. Then finally venice to rome which is a direct train buy a ticket there. Question is can i somehow buy all these tickets at once instead buying separately ?

Will your Swiss pass be expired on the day you want to go to Venice?

Why in the name of all that is holy, are you dealing with RailEurope. You could have booked a through ticket from www.sbb.ch, and it would have been free to Domodossola, Italy.

rudy,
As the others have so eloquently stated, using Rail Europe is not the best way to buy tickets. A few other websites you could try.....

you can buy tickets for any trip within Italy, and many international trips, from Trenitalia.com from any train station in Italy, either at the ticket window or rrom a kiosk that takes euro (look for cash sign on the kiosk).
Tip: if you can commit to a spcific departure date/time up to 120 days in advance, you can save a lot, but if you miss that train or change your plans, your super-economy ticket will be useless. I got a €9 ticket from Milano to Venezia, eticket was emailed to me within seconds of purchase.
