Are you a bargain hunter and want to get your train tickets even cheaper? We have something for you! Promobilet and Super Promo Intercity are unique promotional offers for train tickets, covering both domestic and international connections. This programme provides a wide range of favourable discounts, allowing passengers to save up to several dozen percent on their ticket purchase. Discounts are valid for travel on Express InterCity Premium (EIP), Express InterCity (EIC), InterCity (IC) and TLK trains.

PromoBilet is based on a dynamic pricing system with tickets available at five discount thresholds:

• Super Promo

• Promo Plus

• Promo 45 (45% discount)

• Promo 30 (30% discount)

• Promo 15 (15% discount)

Remember that the number of tickets available in each promotional price pool is limited. Therefore, if you hit on a good price for a journey you are interested in, don't delay in buying - the best priced tickets disappear fastest.

Tickets in the SuperPromo offer are one of the most attractive ways to purchase train travel - providing dynamic discounts that can be up to 70% off the regular price. The promotion covers selected domestic and international connections, allowing you to travel at exceptionally good prices without sacrificing comfort.

Ticket prices are set dynamically, which means that they depend on the current interest in a particular connection. The lower the train occupancy on a particular date, the greater the chance that tickets at the lowest price thresholds will be available. In practice, this means that by planning your journey in advance or choosing less popular times, you can significantly reduce the cost of your journey.

The promotion system works flexibly and reacts to changing conditions - so offers are updated on a regular basis. Regularly checking ticket availability can significantly increase your chances of buying a ticket at the best price. So it's worth checking the PolishTrains website even a few times a week or using the mobile app, which allows you to quickly compare available options and buy your ticket instantly. Remember that it is possible to buy an ultra promo ticket once a day - the next ticket purchased in the promo has a higher price.

For those planning international travel, PKP Intercity has prepared an attractive offer called Super Promo International. This is a special variant of Promobilet, which allows you to buy tickets from Poland to selected European countries - Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia and Hungary - at exceptionally favourable prices.

Super Promo International is an opportunity to visit Europe by train for up to 70% cheaper. The promotion applies to one-way and return tickets, but the number of seats is limited - it is worth booking early. Tickets are non-refundable and non-exchangeable, so be sure of your travel plans before purchasing.

Looking for the best bargains on train tickets in Poland and abroad? Check out PKP's Super Promo offer available on the website and the PolishTrains mobile app. Here are some tried and tested ways to find the biggest discounts:

• Review the offer regularly, preferably via the mobile app. Remember that ticket prices can change dynamically, so it's worth checking the connections you're interested in frequently.

• Book in advance - the biggest discounts are available based on the number of seats sold. The sooner you buy your ticket, the better the chance of a lower price.

• Be flexible about your departure date - sometimes changing the date by one day can significantly reduce the cost of your journey. Discounts are more likely to apply to journeys during the week when there is less interest, so consider postponing a weekend trip to, say, Tuesday or Wednesday.

Although the Promobilet promotion is a great opportunity to travel by rail inexpensively and comfortably, before purchasing a ticket it is worth reviewing a few important rules that may affect the availability and conditions for taking advantage of the offer.

• The number of promotional tickets is limited - Intercity promobilet only covers a portion of the seats on the train - each connection is assigned a specific pool of cheaper tickets. Its size may vary depending on the day of the week, time of day or popularity of the route. This means that not every person travelling on a particular train will be able to buy a ticket at the promotional price.

• Earlier purchase = greater savings - the best fares are mainly available at the beginning of the ticket sales - i.e. the earlier you book your journey, the greater the chance of hunting down an attractive rate. Over time, as seats fill up, the cheaper tickets disappear and only the more expensive options remain available.

• Restrictions on refunds and changes - Tickets purchased through Intercity International's Promobilet promotion are often not exchangeable or refundable. This means that you may lose the right to a refund if you change your travel plans. Please read the terms and conditions of the offer carefully before you purchase and ensure that the date and time of travel are suitable.

• Limited availability during busy periods - During busy periods - such as holidays, long weekends and holidays - promotional tickets sell out very quickly and often do not go on sale at all on the most popular routes. In such cases, it is advisable to plan your journey even further in advance.

PKP promo hunters know exactly how to make the most of promotional offers. If you are entitled to a statutory discount of 37%, 51%, 78%, 95% or 100%, we will additionally reduce the price of your normal ticket by the value of your discount. This is a great opportunity to travel even cheaper!

• Children up to 4 years old travel for free.

• 30% discount - can be used by seniors, over 60 years of age.

• 37 % discount - can be used by children and young people up to 24 years of age, disabled or with a school card.

• 51% discount - students under the age of 26 can benefit.

• 78% reduction - can be used by students with a disability or recognised disability up to the age of 26. They are entitled to a discount provided they travel from their place of residence or stay to an educational institution. Such a discount is also provided for non-professional soldiers.

In addition, remember the Cheap with Relatives tickets and related offers:

• Large Family Card - Travelling with at least one person who has KDR, you can benefit from an additional 30% discount, which applies in addition to the statutory 37% discount.

• Family Ticket - If you plan to travel in a group of 2 to 5 people with at least one child under the age of 16, each normal ticket will be discounted by 30% in value. Please note that the offer also combines with other discounts.

• The 'Taniej z Bliskimi' offer - PKP promo hunters, by hitting the road with 1 to 5 loved ones (2-6 people in total), you gain access to attractive discounts that can be combined with other discounts you are entitled to.

The Intercity promobilet offer is a great opportunity to save on rail travel, but taking advantage of it requires a quick decision and good organisation. Buying in advance, being flexible in your planning and knowing the rules of the offer are the keys to cheap and hassle-free travel. If you know when and where you want to travel - don't delay. The best PKP super promo is just waiting!
