Common mistakes
- Not checking the station: With 29 trains a day, leave when it suits you: the price gap comes mostly from the purchase date, not from a shortage of seats.
- Forgetting fees: an extra bag or a ticket change can cancel the saving on a low-price ticket.
- Buying late: the lowest prices go first; SNCF Connect advises booking as soon as sales open.
