For Pete's Sake

@albertcardona I know this all too well. My wife and I just went from London to Florence on the trains.

it cost an absolute fortune (compounded by the necessity to stay overnight in Zurich.. not a cheap city !) but overall it was a much more pleasant experience.

@petelittle1970 @albertcardona I don’t know about your time constraints but avoiding interrail on TGV into Switzerland will save you a lot. That’s _the_ most expensive seat reservation there is.
E.g TGV to Mulhouse, stay overnight and take reservation free trains to Milano. But you’ll get a few hours later to Florence in that case.

@Torskmint @albertcardona Yeah we struggled to find timings that suited us.

This is not something we do regularly and probably won't do again for quite some time.

The process of buying the interrail pass, booking the trains, reserving seats and linking everything together wasn't exactly straight forward.

thanks to Seat61.com we figured it out..

However now we know how it works we more likely to train than plane from now on.
