Traveller notes

Airport pickup
Regional plans activate at the gate in every major EU hub. Switzerland is included on most but not all regional plans; check the plan row.
Hotspot and calls
Allowed on nearly all regional plans. Rail journeys between countries stay connected without doing anything.
Where the network is weak
The score shown is the lowest across the countries in your trip. Alpine passes, rural Portugal and Greek islands beyond Crete are the usual weak spots.
Local SIM alternative
An EU local SIM roams free across the bloc, so on trips over three weeks a SIM from your first country can beat a regional eSIM. For shorter trips the eSIM wins.
