Pass holders are granted reduced fares and sometimes even
free offers with many companies. The traveler can obtain these
discounts locally with the company offering the discount.
Rules for using extra Pass Benefits
- For a reduced passage, the Pass must be valid for the country
of departure OR the country of arrival.
- If traveling at a reduced rate, the travel may take place at
any time, provided it is within the overall validity of the Pass,
even if all the travel days in the calendar have been used up.
When traveling on a Flexi Pass (with a certain number of
flexible travel days) please note:
- Free transportation requires use of a travel
day; in case of a free overnight ferry, the holder may either enter
the day of departure or the day of arrival in the calendar.
- Reduction benefits do not require use of a
travel day.
