Pass Fares - Pass fares are available to holders of passes sold overseas (Eurail or InterRail passes). These passes enable passengers to travel on Thalys trains providing they purchase a one way ticket within (Comfort 1 or Comfort 2).

You can purchase your one way ticket with us or at the station but we do advise to book these in advance as there are only a certain amount of passholder fares available per train.

Tickets are available for sale 3 months before the date of your journey, 4 months for groups. Please note that even if you have a pass you must have a Thalys ticket for your seat reservation. Please contact us for further details.
