UTRECHT--1 Feb--PRNewswire-AsiaNet/InfoQuest Buy Now, Travel Later with Eurail 6-, 8- and 10- Day Select Passes Due to the success of previous campaigns, the Eurail Group announced today that it is offering an extra day of rail travel on all six-, eight- and ten-day Eurail Select Passes purchased in the months of February and March 2007. This means customers will automatically be issued a seven-, nine- or 11-day rail pass during this period. Even if you don't plan to take your holiday until later in the year, you can still buy now. Travellers have up to six months from date of purchase to begin travelling, and a two-month period in which to use up their travel days. This means that your pass can be used as late as in November 2007 (depending on the purchase date). The beautiful part is being able to book your Eurail SelectPass now, and then plan your trip at leisure. All you need to decide is how many countries to visit and for how long. The Eurail Select Pass continues to see strong year on year growth. More than 185,000 travellers bought a Select Pass in 2006; an increase of around 6%. The Eurail Select Pass offers great flexibility as customers can practically tailor-make their own pass by choosing three, four or five bordering countries in which to travel. As well as excellent rail connections between all borderingEuropean countries, adjoining countries can also be linked by Eurail's bonus partner shipping lines, increasing the options even further and creating some interesting combinations. Italy, for example, is linked to Spain by Grimaldi Ferries, from Civitavecchia to Barcelona and to Greece with various crossings, operated by three separate ferry operators. There are 23 different countries to choose from ranging from the traditional central European destinations such as France, Germany and Switzerland to the increasingly popular and diverse countries of Eastern European, such as Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary and Romania. With over 750 possible combinations, the Eurail Select Pass gives customers true freedom and flexibility! Rail connections in and between all participating Eurail countries are fast, frequent and reliable, allowing you to relax and experience the changing landscapes and different cultures. Being able to travel from city centre to city centre quickly and efficiently, avoiding long check-in queues and waits at airports or driving and parking hassles, makes the journey as memorable and enjoyable as the destinations.
