Hello!  We (3 of us) are traveling from Amsterdam to London on April 24th and have passes bought.  This is our last leg across Europe, but are finding seats are Sold Out.  What are our options?  

I want to buy the 4-day flexi pass, the trip from my city (madrid) to the first destination (paris), and the trip from the last destination (rome) to my city again counts in the 4 days of the pass? that means i can travel only two days between destinations?

I recently purchased a Eurail pass and was trying to get a train from London to Glasgow. It sent me to the ACP rail site to get a seat reservation. Is the ACP rail linked with Eurail or do I need a separate pass?

Over the weekend, I purchased two (5 day in 1 month) InterRrail passes for August and reserved seats on trains to and from Barcelona via Paris. In total, this has cost €900 and, alarmingly, AI has suggested that buying individual advance tickets (with mandatory seat reservations) might actually have been cheaper! What do you think; does this sound expensive to you? N.B. The InterRail passes were c. €600 and 8 seat reservations (in and out of Paris both ways) were c. €300.

Hi! I'm Lara (18) from the Netherlands and I'm planning to go travelling through Switzerland, Italy and France this July!

Hi,I searched, but couldn’t find a suitable answer. Are there restrictions to times you can travel with an Interrail pass? I need to get from Cestas (near Bordeaux) to Mansfield in the UK for a short trip. Basically, a day’s travel, a day’s visit and a day’s travel back. I’ve done it for the last couple of years by booking two sets of tickets on the Trainline, but this would make it simpler (and cheaper). B

I've made train reservations on the Rail Europe platform using my interrail pass number. I received the tickets as pdf's. Can I add them to the Interrail app? If not what to do when travelling ? Print the tickets and activate the travelling day as a 'use day' in the app ? Thanks for your support,  Rob

Something went wrong while booking the reservation i need help asap

Dear all, We found a suggestion on the official Interrail website to travel to Istanbul. When planning in the trip planner, there is an error and a suggestion to split the journey (from Sofia or Bucharest) in two. Without further advice on how to do that. Could you please suggest how we could solve this.Is it possible to travel to Istanbul with Interrail?Best, Tiina and Hannu, travelling in June.

Hello !Our country is France.We’re trying to use our pass from France to Spain.Yet the only trains covered are the one within France. No internal passes within Spain.So the goal is to reach the border of Spain with our pass. And more precisely the railway station of Hendaye. Which is a border train station.Has someone already done it and is it ok with the pass knowing that the city we’re reaching and from we will get back is technically a French city ?Thank youEmmanuelle

Dear Interrail community,We are organising our first Interrail trip, using Interrail to visit Stockholm and Copenhagen.However, one of our group cannot install the Rail Planner app on her mobile phone because the operating system is too old.

Hello all. need to take the train. from Ljubljana to split, Croatia. We can take the day train but does not get there until 10;30 pm. Which is ok for us if the scenery will be nice.

Hi,quick question : How does the discount on StenaLine ferrys work? I want to take the Göteborg to Kiel ferry in mid-July, mid-Trip. The Interrail-website states “Save a travel day on your Pass when travelling with Stena Line. This benefit can be used with a valid Pass even if your travel days are over.”. Does that mean it can only be used when having an active pass day or if all days are used, but the pass is still valid? Cuz I wanna be using it mid-trip (Not all days are used up) without using a day of the pass! Thanks for the help! With the best regards!

My wife and I are inexperienced rail travelers and will be taking the train from Nice to Zurich on April 24.  Two portions of the trip (Nice Ville to Ventimiglia & Milano Centrale to Lugano) show Open Seating.  Do we just show up that day with our Global Pass to access these portions of the trip?  We have tickets for the other parts of the trip.  

Hi, we are trying to plan to travel to Paris from Scotland as it is a long way we would like to stop in Milton Keynes for a day to break up the journey.That would mess up our outbound journey, is there a way round it as travel by train is very expensive in the UK.

Hello experienced travellers,starting in Brittany, I am planning a travel day to Munich. The easiest way seems through Paris est - Stuttgart.As I am aware of the DB train delays, I checked the punctuality of the train I’d like to takehttps://www.zugfinder.net/en/train-ICE_9573Regardless of the delays, 2 of the last 3 days are tagged “destination not reached”. Is there a way to have more information (“one-time” problem or repeating risk, where the train stopped, what was the advice to end the journey) ?Better, is there a more reliable route Rennes - Munich ?Thanks for any information and advice.

Can I download/active a single pass to two separate phones?

Hello! We are looking to purchase the interrail plus pass (beta) which include most seat reservation costs. That is 29/3 and we want to travel in August however it says the pass will need to be activated within 3 months of purchase. Does this mean we need to book the seats and travel in August within 3 months or does it mean we need to travel within 3 months.  AlsoHas anyone used the plus pass with seat reservation costs covered and is it worth it? Thanks! ☺️
