Consecutive versus Non-consecutive Travel

There are two types of rail travel: consecutive and, well, not consecutive (called flexi or select). Consecutive passes start the first day you use them and end a set number of days afterwards, such as two weeks, or a month. Passes are valid every day inbetween. Flexi or select passes limit the number of days a person can travel, for example, 10 days in a two month period. Unfortunately, you can't 'save' any days on your Eurail pass for your next trip overseas - the pass validity is limited, starting from your first use.

The Eurailpass is the most convenient and popular way to see Europe. It allows unlimited Consecutive-day train travel throughout the 17 country Eurail Network and offers a variety of time options to fit any itinerary

The Eurailpass Flexi offers unlimited travel in the 17 country Eurail Network, but travel days do not need to be used consecutively. Good for any 10 or 15 days of travel in a 2 month period.

The standard Eurailpass offers 1st class travel for everyone. The Eurailpass Saver option allows travel in 1st class for 2-5 people traveling together. The Eurailpass Youth offers 2nd class travel for youths under the age of 26.
