How much discount can I get with my NS season ticket on an international journey?

  • NS discount passes are valid with the Flex fare only for travel on Eurocity Direct/EuroCity and on the Flexpreis fare for Intercity Berlin and ICE International. The discount applies to the part of the journey in the Netherlands as far as/starting from the border.
  • NS discount passes are not valid on TGV, Eurostar, ÖBB Nightjet or in combination with international discount fares such as (Super)Saver for Eurocity Direct/EuroCity and Super(Sparpreis) for Intercity Berlin and ICE International.
  • Peak and off-peak periods for international journeys are different from those for journeys within the Netherlands.
