Other bonuses Free and reduced transportation Eurail Pass holders are entitled to a variety of bonuses besides the shipping lines we've mentioned above. Only the following companies will honor your Pass. Arrange your free or discount travel locally, and always confirm that the company you are dealing with actually honors the bonus discount. Holders of a Eurailpass Flexi, or a Eurail Selectpass note that a free transportation bonus requires use of a travel day; reduction bonuses do not require use of a travel day. a.. 15 % reduction on certain hotels in Athens.
