I did a search on RailSaver.com and got this:
Eurail Germany - Benelux 5 Day 2nd Class Youth FlexiPass
With this and the others my train expenses would be awesome. But I can't find this pass. Any ideas?

You mean you can't find the Benelux 5 Day 2nd Class Youth FlexiPass online? I'm not sure what the Germany is all about but Germany isn't included in that pass, it's just Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg. At the top of the page, you will see a suitcase that says "Railpasses". Click on that, then go to Multiple Country Passes. You'll see the link for the Benelux Tourrail Pass. Once there you can click on Benelux Tourrail Junior Pass. I would give you the direct link but by using that link above, if you buy your pass after clicking on it, it helps support these boards as they give me a small percentage which I put towards paying for all this.  |

Yeh that's what confused me. According to RailSaver it seems to also include Germany. Of course I jumped when I saw it But yeh, since it doesn't seem to exit I'll look for the other cheapest combination. Thanks. |

Hey I managed to find that train! www.europrail.net/passes/eurail_germany_benelux.htmlJust wondering. I've never done trains before. The site doesn't give much info on routes. Say the routes on RailEurope.com...would this pass cover those routes as well? Or is it by company...? Sorry if these are dumb questions...BTW is that pass link a good deal? Considering I'll be seeing Amsterdam, Bruges/Brussels and Munich/Berlin? So as you can see, using this is a good deal. RailSaver then says to buy my tickets for Austria half the trip Prague and use a Prague railpass or something. As said total will be around 220 American, roughly 300 Canadian. Am I wrong? |

Oh, it's something new for this year - this is the first I've heard of that pass!
If all you are going to in the Czech. Republic is Prague, I'd just buy a ticket from the station when you get over there.
Not sure what you mean by routes - but the pass would be good for train travel anywhere in Germany or Benelux. (Doesn't include subways etc. - I just mean standard train travel)
The prices are regulated so they are all pretty much the same everywhere. I don't know about that company but RailEurope is pretty much the largest rail company on the net and is definately safe and secure.

K, thanks. I'm glad I was able to find it Save me good money. What I meant was. Are the different websites just for buying yours passing, or are they their own train line? As in if I buy a rail pass from any site on the net, will it work for any train running in the countries I'm visiting? |

Oooh OK, now I'm with you.
No, they are all the same and will all work with the same trains.
Basically, they are all the same passes - just sold by different people.
