Book your ticket at least 15-20 days before getting the best price.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Split_Your_Route\"><\/span>Split Your Route<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Another way to travel cheaper by train is to split your booking. Instead of booking one single ticket for your long journey, you can split your journey into 2 or more phases. For example, if you are traveling from Delhi to Kolkata, instead of booking one single, direct train ticket from Delhi to Kolkata, you can book two tickets &#8211; from Delhi junction to Mughalsarai junction, and then from Mughalsarai to Kolkata junction. This tip is especially great to follow during high-demand seasons like festivals or holidays.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Best_Way_to_Reduce_the_Price_is_By_Ordering_Food_Online\"><\/span>The Best Way to Reduce the Price is By Ordering Food Online<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes!
