Europe Travel - If I purchased a Eurail pass in Dec 2006, will it still be valid in Apr 2007?

Question

I purchased a Eurail train pass (France'n Italy, youth, 4 days in 2 months) on 12/23/2006, and I am planning to use it in France on 4/15/2007. Will it still be valid? (i.e. Will a Eurail pass be valid in 2007, even though I purchased it in 2006?)

Answer 1

Euraill tickets generally have a 4 month expiration, but as long as it's less than a year old, can be traded in for a current pass with a handling fee.

Best to do this over there so you don't get gouged by the travel people

Answer 2

I don't know for sure, but an annual pass is usually good for 1 year from purchase, regardless of the actual year of usage.
