For all the Freccia trains, which are the fastest and most expensive, you can buy tickets 120 days in advance, budget accommodation lisbon either online or in the station. For regional trains, you can buy tickets at the station up to 90 days in advance, but you can buy them online only 7 days in advance. I don't advise buying regional tickets online ever, because the online versions of regional tickets are much more restricted than the regional tickets you buy in the station, and there are never any discounts or reserved seats on regional trains anyway. I think InterCity (IC) trains have the same time frames as the Freccia budget accommodation lisbon trains, but they are a minority of trains.
One major exception to these general rules is that in early Decemeber and early June, there is a schedule change, and there is usually a delay in getting the schedules posted. budget accommodation lisbon This means that the tickets for late June and early July may not be available 120 days in advance. The regional schedules are always the last to be posted, and may still be unavailable a few weeks before the travel date. The regional tickets may still be bought in a station even if the schedules aren't posted, because they're not for a specific train, but a specific route. However, when you buy them online, they're for a specific train and are totally unrefundable or changeable. (This is the main reason I wouldn't buy them online.)
For Italo trains, you can purchase through the end of the schedule (schedules change/end 2nd weekend in June and 2nd weekend in Dec.). So for Italo, budget accommodation lisbon it's possible to buy some tickets 6 months in advance depending on when you are trying to purchase. So right now, you can purchase Italo tickets through Saturday June 6.
I haven't tried to use one lately, but it used to be Trenitalia required a secured code card. Some Mastercards and Visas offer this (not all). It is not the three numbers on the back of your card that some merchants ask for. Mastercard's is called Securecode and Visa is called Verified by Visa. I secured my MC years ago when online shopping first became popular and some site I was trying to purchase budget accommodation lisbon from required it. They might not require this anymore. Each time Trenitalia switches to the new schedules, they seem to update things and make a few changes.
Holly, I assume you're talking about the regional train tickets. If they are bought at a train station, they can always be refunded, exchanged, or turned budget accommodation lisbon in when applied budget accommodation lisbon to the cost of a different ticket.
I can't be 100% sure, but I don't think that regional tickets budget accommodation lisbon bought online could be exchanged even for a strike. I recently bought a regional ticket online, which is something I would usually never do, but it was just one segment on a trip that included also Frecce trains, so I made an exception. When I got to the station, I saw that the regional train I was supposed to catch was running an hour late, which would have meant missing my connection to a reserved Frecce train at the next station. There was an IC train leaving however, which would have allowed me to make my connection. I asked at the ticket window if I could apply the cost of the unusable regional ticket to the cost of the IC train, and was told that regional tickets bought online cannot be modified in any way for any reason. So I just bought a new IC ticket at full price and will never again buy a regional ticket online for any reason.
I'm not surprised that the IC schedules were loaded late, but that isn't because you can buy then only 90 days in advance. The Frecce schedules budget accommodation lisbon are also not always budget accommodation lisbon uploaded 120 days in advance, either.
Thanks for the response, bv. No, I'm talking budget accommodation lisbon about the Freccia trains. I was so enticed by the lure of the really really low prices, that I bought my tickets about 10-12 weeks out, and now I'm sweating bullets budget accommodation lisbon hoping there are no strikes on those dates. budget accommodation lisbon I won't do this again; I'll at least wait until the strike schedule is announced. But if there are strikes on my travel dates, I'd like to know if those tickets that are affected (if any) will be refundable.
