How do I use a flexipass on an overnight train?
Holders of a flexipass (Eurail and Europass) may take advantage of the “Overnight Rule” and save a day of travel. With the flexipass, if an overnight train leaves after 7:00 p.m. and arrives the next day (after 12:00 a.m.), write in the next day’s date in the appropriate box on your pass. Since the majority of train travel is taking place the next day, you will only be charged for one day, provided you didn’t do any traveling before 7:00 p.m.. Otherwise, you will be using two travel days. If the train leaves before 7:00 p.m., purchase a point-to-point ticket from the departure city to the first city that the train arrives after 7:00 p.m.. That way, you’ll be able to take advantage of the Overnight Rule and save a travel day in the process.
