3 months - 9 countries

I just see on another thread pretravel.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=20022&action=display&n=1&thread=1031604376 that there's two of you, and that you're over 26 y/o...
therefor you don't qualify for youth passes, and passes for "oldies", even saverpass (2 people that travel together) are more expensive... they allow you to travel 1st class, but who really needs that?

Hi Nitsansh,

I'll still be 26 in April thru June, so I still qualify right?
Don't turn 27 till July, oh my, that sounds old:)

thanks for all the advise,
Sheldon

I'm afraid not. You should be UNDER 26 on the day of validation to be eligible for youth pass or ticket.

I turned 27 in Europe as well. I had a youth pass for the beginning couple months-you just have to be 26 on the first day you use it.

Once that pass expired, I had an adults pass.

Like I said previously though, we had a few different passes as we were travelling for 7 months (ScanRail, BritRail etc.)

As far as I know, you should be under 26 when you validate the pass to use a youth rail pass. I didn't have first hand experience like Kim, though... I used a Eurail Youth Pass while I was just 25...

[Kim]

Yep, exactly. You just have to be 26 on the day you validate it-you can turn 27 the next day and it's not a problem. Once you are done that pass though, you have to go to an adult one.

Thanks everyone. I think i have a tentative itinerary now. I'll probably have more detailed questions in a month or so.

Cheers,
