Hi. Trying to get my head around this pass.I have booked separate seat reservations on both the Eurostar & Interlaken > Lucerne Express for particular dates in August.I have added these journeys on the Eurail Planner app. Will I need to activate my pass now to save the train bookings for these dates? If I wait to activate, is there a possibility the trains will book out, making my seat reservations useless?

If on my trip with ICE from Amsterdam to Luzern , we miss the connection in Olten to Luzern,  can we use the next train without any ussues?

Salut, je pars en vacances du 31 juillet au jusqu’au 7 aout environ en Italie, je fais le début du voyage avec des amies mais je pars à Florence le 4 aout toute seule, je recherche donc par hasard si une fille passait aussi par Florence à ces dates pour faire cette partie du voyage :))

My husband and I are going to travel together, but keep our own pass on our own mobile (so that we still have a mobile as backup should we lose a mobile, and can get the lost pass reactivated on the remaining mobile with some customer services help).My question is how I connect a trip to passes that sit on separate mobiles. All the instructions seem to be about connecting trips to passes that sit on the same mobile.  I have already booked any necessary rain reservations for us jointly, so that is not a problem. I hope someone can help. 

Hola buenas tardes entiendo que para realizar las reservas de Madrid a Toledo no se pueden realizar por la aplicación ni por la WEb de Eurorail y que en algúnos casos indican que debo dirigirme a las ventanillas de Renfe para realizar la compra del boleto. Alguien sabe cómo realizar la reserva en línea en la página de Renfe, pero obteníendo los precios de descuento que muestra Eurorail en la App.Gracias

Hey! Couple of asks here if anyone could help me please?How easy is it to get to platform 2? I've been looking at the map for Midi train station and I think it's on the ground floor so there's no need to worry about coming down escalators?I'm not great with coming down on an escalator.Is it straight forward to get from Ghent to Bruges and is it better to get single tickets for each way?

I can easily find trains on Eurail website to give me trains to get me from A to B.  But that train, if not direct, will make stops.  How can I find out what those stops are and at what times?  I can’t see to do that on the Eurail site.   Thanks.

Sorry for asking again.I want to book an overnight train, in this case a bunk bed, for two adults, one child who has a pass, but another who doesn't because he's 3 years old. How do I reserve a bunk bed for the 3-year-old? Or is he supposed to sleep in an adult's bunk and not have to reserve anything?I can't find a customer service contact, and the automated chat doesn't resolve this. Thanks!

Hello,my Friends and I are planning a trip trough the Balkan states.In the Balkan states, only very few connections are shown on the official railway map, for example in Serbia. Is it possible to take trains that are not registered at the Railwaymap, like regional trains, with the Interrail pass? Thanks for help

My husband and I want to travel to Italy with our baby. We saw the Global Pass for 4 travel days within 6 months. But we actually just need 2 travel days (from Germany to Italy, and a week later from Italy back to Germany). Can we use the remaining 2 days for a second trip to Italy if we stay within the 6 months? Like do the same trip again a few months later? Thank you!

We are trying to reserve tickets but keep get an error message error one leg is not available or when when we try to check it will not allow us to make a payment when we have entered all our payment details 

We are a family of four from Germany, and this summer we will embark on our first-ever Interrail trip. Together with our seven- and eight-year-old children, we will travel from near Bremen via the usual route through Copenhagen and Malmö to Stockholm, then continue to Östersund, and from there to a small station located along the Inlandsbanan. To all those who have traveled with children: is it better to travel during the day with an overnight stop, or should we dare to take on the adventure of a night train journey? I’m looking forward to your feedback.

I am travelling from Avignon to Annecy with an Interrail global pass. Do I need to book seat reservations and if so how? Thank you for any adviceJan

Hi Team,We are a group of 5 people and planning to travel to switzerland from Netherlands on 2 April 2025 Evening.Further, we have to come back to Netherlands on 6 April 2025.Below are the journeys that I found suitable for us: I have the following questions:I have residence card of netherlands (I am not the citizen) so I can purchase Interrail pass of Switzerland instead of Global pass? If I am eligible for purchasing Interrails pass then how much days should I purchase or If global then how many days should I purchase?Furthermore, please tell me how to best plan my journey such:When to purchase ticket via rail planner application When generating tickets, should I break my journey? or book the ticket for ultimate destination?  Considering the fact that I read this on the link:https://www.interrail.eu/en/interrail-passes/what-is-interrail/travel-your-own-country 

I will be travelling from June 8 (arriving in Amsterdam) and then leaving Zurich on July 11. I am thinking of getting a 7 days within a month pass. As a senior the price is $310US (15% discount promotion till April 1).  Given that, I should start to use my pass on June 11. I will train from Amsterdam to Germany. Then to Austria (Vienna, Salzberg, Schladming - all one day),  Zurich, Zermatt and back to Zurich to fly home.In Zermatt, all the funicular, gondolas and railway rides are not covered by the Eurail pass. I will have to get a Peak to Peak Pass ( 2 days for $260CHF)to see the sights. If I have the Swiss half fare card ($137 US), I can get 50% discount on the Peak to Peak Pass. The transportation cost is starting to add up (Eurail, Peak to Peak).  Should I purchase individual train tickets instead? Will it normally be cheaper? For example, Amsterdam to Dusseldorf (Germany) will be $75 US per person with the cancellation option.  Thanks,Joyce

Hello,Five days ago I purchased a 5-day within 1-month 1st class pass for EUR404.  I have not activated the pass, but I did use the pass number to make several seat reservations at RailEurope.Today, Eurail has a 15% off sale, so the same pass is only EUR344 today.  Because it has been less than 7 days since I purchased it, I can request a full refund, and then re-purchase at the sale price.But, the new pass will have  a new pass number.  Can I still use the seat reservations that I made with the current pass, or will I lose those seat reservations and need to re-purchase them?Thanks,Bennett

Hey,I‘d like to travel through my homecountry, specifically through Germany, because I travel from Amsterdam to Copenhagen. I don’t need the outbound journey in the beginning of my pass (I start in the Uk). Is it possible for me to have the so-called outbound on travelday 3,4,5,… and is it possible to travel through my homecountry with the Interrail pass anyway? thanks for your help!!

Hi,Ada from Australia here and totally new!I'm planning this itinerary starting May 10th:Day 1 - Turin Italy) to MunichDay 2 - Munich to ViennaDay 3 - Vienna to PragueDay 4 - Prague to DresdenDay 5- Dresden to BerlinDay 6 - Berlin to ParisDay 7 - Paris to Turinstaying in every town 2-4 nights.Thinking to buy a 7 days Pass. I did some homework and  I will save some money, even with the Seat reservation fees, plus the freedom to change plans.Question 1: to use/show the e-pass on your phone do I need an internet connection? This is because I do not have the phone that I’ll use in Italy at the moment, and I’m doingn everything on may australian phone. When in Europe I willuse it only with wi-fi and not the data. Question 2: on Seat61 I found this advice for the ICE Berlin Paris: “Do not make a normal seat-reservation-only booking for €5.20 on Germany-Paris TGVs/ICEs using int.bahn.de, as you would for other German trains.  On TGV/ICE trains to/from Paris this is not sufficient as (a) the r

My wife and i are travelling together - How will it work if i download the mobile pass (for the two of us) on my cell phone. 

Hello! Having decided to go interrailing in early 2024, I’ve taken no action so far, which is really ridiculous! This is probably not unconventional at all, but is it unwise at all to just book a pass with no sense of dates? I’m in a position where I could take a month or so off to go travelling and just think that booking the pass will actually spur me to take action. Does anyone have any advice on this approach? Does booking a pass with absolutely no planning work? For a bit more context, I have about €2300 saved for this trip. Now thinking €3000 might be more realistic… Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone !This summer, I would like to go to Stockholm with my partner and our two daughters. Our departure will be Paris.I have many questions for the community to better plan our trip:At the time of the trip, our daughters will have 10 months and 3 years → so they won’t need a pass to travel, right? On the web, I saw different possibilities to join Stockholm from Paris.  Paris → Cologne → Hambourg → Copenhague → Stockholm or Paris → Düsseldorf → Hambourg → Stockholm. Has anyone ever done one of these two journeys? What type of pass do you recommend to us?
