Although Pendolino ticket prices reflect the high standard of travel, there are many ways to reduce them. Travellers often look for deals and promotions that allow them to save on a railway ticket.

Use statutory discounts 🎫

Check which discounts you are entitled to and their amount (e.g. 51% for students aged up to 26, 37% for children and school-age young people, and 30% for seniors). Make sure you have the required documents with you, such as a student card or identity document, to use these discounts.

Buy your ticket in advance ⏰

Railway ticket sales open 30 days before the departure date. Carriers offer attractive promotions and discounts for passengers who book in advance. As the travel date approaches, ticket prices usually rise. By booking your seat earlier, you can be sure of finding an available seat on your preferred train and in your preferred carriage. This is particularly important during periods of high demand, when seats on popular routes may sell out quickly.

Catch Superpromo deals 💰

The promobilet offer provides attractive discounts that allow passengers to save up to several dozen per cent on a single ticket. These discounts may change depending on demand, the travel date and seat availability, so the sooner you book your ticket, the greater the chance of getting a better price. The best offers depend on the number of seats sold, making early booking the key to cheaper travel.

Combine a statutory discount with Karta Dużej Rodziny 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Holders of Karta Dużej Rodziny (KDR) can benefit from an attractive PKP Intercity discount, which is 30% for at least two people travelling together. In addition, this promotion can be combined with other statutory discounts, allowing an even greater reduction in the ticket price.
