anything complex would be better than just an individual ticket!
Answer by conley39
It is often cheaper to buy individual tickets rather than a Eurail pass. Especially, if you'll be taking the faster trains that require an extra reservation/supplemental fee and/or are able to take advantage of discounts by buying individual tickets in advance.
There's information on supplements here: http://www.eurail.com/eurail-reservations-supplements-domestic
and: http://www.eurail.com/eurail-reservations-supplements-international-trains
and: http://www.eurail.com/eurail-reservations-night-trains
You can check the prices for individual tickets at: http://www.bahn.de/international/view/en/index.shtml (Germany) , http://www.sbb.ch/en/ (Switzerland)
You just need to put together your tentative itinerary and check the different trains. Add up the prices for the individual tickets and compare to the price of the pass plus all required supplements.
