Trying to find out which ticket (or coupon) I should be getting for a journey I am taking next month.
I am rail staff based in the UK and I have a FIP card that I have not yet used so I am a bit clueless about the European entitlements I have.
So the journey I am planning will be from Munich, Germany to Vienna, Austria on 12th August.
Having looked into the services that run between the two cities, I think it is the Railjet (which is run by OBB Austrain railway?) train that I will be using.
So I went to see if this is covered by the free coupons and it does say that I can ask for OBB Austrian coupons but since this is a journey originating in Germany, does this affect things? Would I have to obtain a separate ticket for the German part of the journey?
Also, if the free coupons are not for use on this service, am I just to purchase a ticket using my FIP card? Is there any info online showing what the cost of this will be?
I have been onto International Rail to find out a quote for the journey which they said would be £37.50 plus £4 reservation. I'm not entirely sure I've asked for the right quote though, or explained it well enough!
Sorry but I am lost and would appreciate any info from someone in the know.
Thanks in advance.
