Anytime Supplement
Finished your meeting early? Want to spend a little more time with your loved one? Or finished your training session ahead of schedule? Plans change, after all. So it's quite possible that you bought an Off-peak Ticket, but ultimately want to travel during peak hours. No problem, SNCB-NMBS offers a flexible solution for this: the Anytime Supplement.
How it works:
- You use it together with a valid Off-peak Ticket. Thanks to the supplement, you can then travel between two Belgian stations or stops at any time of the day, even during peak hours.
- The departure and destination stations or stops of the Anytime Supplement must exactly match those of your Off-peak Ticket.
- Make sure you purchase your Anytime Supplement in advance via the website, app, ticket machine or ticket office, so that you have it with you when you board the train. Unfortunately, it is not possible to purchase this supplement on the train itself.
Useful Information
- Off-peak hours: boarding between Monday and Friday from midnight to 6 a.m., from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and from 6 p.m. to midnight.
- Peak hours: boarding from Monday to Friday from 6:01 a.m. to 8:59 a.m. and from 4:01 p.m. to 5:59 p.m.
- During the weekend (Saturday and Sunday): boarding all day.
- On public holidays: boarding all day.
With the Anytime Supplement, you can travel whenever you want, even if you already have an Off-Peak Ticket. Whether you are young, an adult, a senior citizen, or receive a Preferrential Reimbursement, this supplement gives you the freedom to travel at any time of the day. Please note that it cannot be combined with a Mini Group Ticket.
Are you unable to travel during off-peak hours due to a delay or cancellation of a train by SNCB-NMBS? Don't worry, you don't have to buy an Anytime Supplement on top of your Off-peak Ticket.
How much you pay for your Anytime journey depends on your age, your status (such as Preferrential Reimbursement) and whether you are travelling in first or second class. The Anytime Supplement covers the difference between your Off-peak Ticket and an Anytime Ticket, within the same travel class and for your traveller type.
