I'll be on a Eurail Global Pass in April, which will work to get me to Budapest from countries other than Poland. I know that if I go to Krakow, I'd need a separate ticket to get there from Germany, Czech Rep, or Slovakia, for example, for the Polish segment of the trip. No pblm there. I know I'd also need a separate ticket from Krakow back to anywhere my Global Pass is valid. But I'm also thinking of doing the Krakow-Budapest trip in a sleeper. I'd pass into Slovakia or the Czech Rep in the middle of the night. When I checked prices, it appeared to me that I'd have to buy a separate ticket for the entire journey from Krakow to Budapest, to be able to reserve a sleeper. I.e., strictly speaking, I'd be overpaying for the segments in countries where my Global pass would be valid. Is there a simple way to buy only the ticket I'd need for the Polish segment, plus the sleeper reservation for the entire trip? Or would that end up being more trouble than it's worth? What I'd like would be a ticket just from Krakow to the border where my pass would become valid, NOT a separate ticket for the entire Krakow-Budapest trip, plus a sleeper resv for the entire trip. That way, I'd show the ticket, the sleeper resv, and my Global Pass to the conductor one time and that'd be all I'd need to do except not oversleep in Budapest the next morning! Is that possible at all?
