point to point train reservation

My check at raileurope.com shows a direct train leaving at 21:47, not 22:23. bahn.de shows the 21:47 train and another direct train leaving at 00:30. Both trains have sleeping accommodations.

As I said in my previous post, you can book these by phoning the Bahn number I gave. (No online booking on the Bahn site because the route neither begins nor ends in Germany.)

Since you won't have a pass, I assume you mean that you want to buy a point-to-point TICKET (reservation included) for the night train, not simply a reservation. You can do this by phoning Die Bahn (German rail). From the US dial 011 (US international access code) + 49 (country code for Germany) + (0)1805/141514. Omit the zero in parentheses. It is only used for calls originating in Germany.

The Czech national rail site has some English, but their booking site in is Czech. You could try calling them at 011-420-840-112-113, or e-mailing them at [email protected] and see if you can find someone who speaks English. If no luck, then about the only other option is raileurope. Their delivery charges are lower than Euraide, but their ticket prices may be higher, so you'll have to total up both to get a good comparison.

First, we don't know your date of travel. Second, I can see a night train run on the Czech train site (www.idos.cz) but I don't know if you can successfully buy a ticket online from this site. Third, there is a train change at 1:30am so that will interrupt your sleep a bit. Fourth, I can see a direct train with no changes on www.raileurope.com that departs at 10:23pm. I can't tell if this train has sleepers. Both Euraide and Raileurope are ticket brokers and thus, charge more for the tickets. Raileurope includes their markups in the ticket price. Euraide sells their tickets at European prices but they add a $50 fee for the service.

You really should buy night train tickets as soon as they become available as they do fill up and any limited special fares are quickly snapped up.
