A single international ticket for your entire journey.
You can book a single ticket for your entire journey from the departure station in the Netherlands to your destination abroad via NS International. If you are entitled to free travel or a 40% discount on the domestic leg of the route, please communicate that fact when booking the ticket. You will then receive either 40% or 100% discount on your international ticket. Remember to bring along your student travel product in addition to your ticket, as you must be able to show both when asked by the conductor.
Tip: when booking your ticket, select 'issue ticket in the app, so you can receive up-to-date information about your entire journey.
