This summer we are going from Berlin to Prague by train.
Would like to print the tickets online so I won't have to pay to have them delivered.
I looked at bahn.de and didn't see a online print option for delivery.
It looks like 122E for two tickets from bahn.de.
Rail Europe is more expensive at $216, and I am not sure I can print the tickets.
Is there an cheaper option anywhere?
I live in California.
Thank you for any suggestions
If you book well in advance (up to 92 days allowed) at bahn.de, you can get a Europa-Spezial Tschechien savings fare as low as 29 EUR/person. Tickets are for a specific departure date and time. You can print the tickets yourself.
Thank you Tim. I am not within the 92 days, but I gave it a trial run and thru the special you mentioned, I save over half and I have the print option!!
Thank you again!!!
My suggestion would be to buy your upon your arrival in Belin.
You're welcome, Jerry.
Have a great trip!
They will email you a pdf file that you can print as your ticket. I set my printer for 'A' sized paper and put in 11"x17" paper cut down to 'A' size. And, I printed it on 8½"x11", paper. It looked a little different in proportions. I took the file with me to Europe, along with both versions of the printed tickets in a cardboard tube, so as not to fold the barcode. I had my first host print another copy on his printer with 'A' paper. It was a little different in size and proportions to what I had printed.
I showed the conductor one of my printings, I think the one on 8½"x11" paper. He held the barcode reader approximately a foot away and approximately perpendicular to the paper, but not exactly, and it read. I don't think it makes a big difference to the reader.
You can see what a pdf ticket looks like here.
With this option, you can print as many copies as you want to, but you have to have your CC with you as ID. Make sure the names match.
