I have been looking daily for a super economy fare to appear for Varenna to Monterosso in September-up until this morning, only base fare was available, and the super economy/ economy showed as "sold out". I just purchased super economy seats and saved €35.00! Remember to call your credit card company first! 😊

Good for you! But I am bummed...I purchased my tickets YESTERDAY and now this morning the economy/super economy is showing up for a trip on July 7th! So I lost some money on that. Oh well...

Sorry you missed out, Judy! I wanted to prepurchase these tickets just to simplify things in Varenna. I figured there was no point purchasing until close to travel time since they were only offering base fare. I also booked Monterosso to Lucca-1st class super economy was the same price as 2nd class super economy so I purchased the 1st class. Not sure if there is any difference on the IC trains. Have a wonderful trip!

jill,
For the trip from Varenna to Monterosso, Super Economy tickets would have only been available for the segment from Milano Centrale to Monterosso. The train from Varenna to Milano Centrale is a Regionale, so there's only one class of ticket and no discounts.
In any case, you saved a bundle with the Intercity train. That should pay for a nice meal in Monterosso!
