Good morning, I am traveling from Bologna to Aachen on the Rail-jet (Bologna-Monaco via Brennero) with the German rail pass. I had confirmation from Trenord staff that I should not pay the 10€ supplement due to the nature of German rail pass itself, but it seems like this information is unknown to most people, including Austrian staff, since many times, during previous trips, they asked me to pay it. Is there someone who could tell me where to find more informations about the 10€ zuschlag and German rail pass?Thanks 

Good afternoon, I am travelling to Austria then onto Ljubljana. There are two trains involved, one at 9am and the other at 2pm. However when I go into my pass I can only see the ticket for the first train. There is no ticket for the second leg of my journey. Thanks in advance.

Hello guys, why ticket from Wroclaw to Vilnius unavailable?

Would I miss anything much? So for 1 or 2 days in Zurich (depending on if I skip the later 4) should I get the Swiss travel pass?

HI COMMUNITY, I am trying to book Prague to Zurich from 00:40 to 13:20 train with 2 lay overs. The website says I need seat reservations for the first 2 trains but it does not show/allow prices to reserve it for. How do I go about it? 2nd questions, for the 3rd train from SALZBURG HBF to ZUERICH HB it says tickets are recommended but not required with a price. Should I get these optional tickets? 

Hi. What’s the best way to take the Bernia Express southbound? My route is Zurich/Bern to Milan. I guess I have to make stops at Chur and Tirano for this. I can leave Zurich anytime after 00:00 on May 1st and plan to be at Milan by 10-11AM. Any insights and tips on train times would be helpful. 

Hi!I’m getting an error every time I reserve any ticket from Freiburg to Brussels on May 7th, tickets appear available in different options, I reserve my seats for both legs and when doing the payment it says it’s been a problem with the ticket and asks me to find another one. Is there anything I’m doing wrong? I had no problem with my other tickets. Thanks!

Hello everyone, can you travel on night trains with a ticket? I can't buy a ticket anywhere, it says unavailable 

I want to buy Eurail tickets, but when I tried (practice run) to book seats for the Munich to Budapest train on August 26, it read “all booked up.” I tried every train on that date and with the same result - all booked up. I’ve read on travel forums that this is most likely not the case (that it is in fact not all booked up).  I can’t proceed with buying Eurail passes as long as this is leg of the trip is not available to us. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

Is anyone aware of trains running from Ploče to Mostar?On zfbh.ba, I can see services starting in Bosnia, at Čapljina. But nothing extending to Ploče or Metkovic. Just a bus.I’ve seen reference that there might be weekend services running, but I can’t find any proof.

Hello everyone,my partner and I will be doing Interrail in Norway in August. We will be in Bergen from August 5th to 7th and are looking to find someone to share car rental expenses to visit the Jostedalsbreen Glacier. Would anyone like to join us? (We can discuss the dates).

Hi, I want to reserve a ticket from LYON PART DIEU (France) to BRUXELLES-MIDI (Belgium) with SNCF Voyages for May 5th. It’s giving me the error “Prices unavailable”. You recommend usin RAilEurope websiote but my train doesn’t appear there, plus they seem to ask me for the money anyway. I have also checked the official SNCG page but they don’t allow me to reserve for Interrail, just buy tickets. How am I supposed to reserve?

I have purchased a Eurail pass for me and a friend. We’re heading to Amsterdam on April 27 and visiting seven countries going by train. I’ve taken many trains in Europe including this year but I’ve always bought regular tickets. This is my first pass and I’m confused even after reading the entire website. 1.) I have created seven “trips” in Rail Planner. I’ve successfully made a few reservations but some of the trips that say reservations recommended I’ve tried numerous times to make and I get an error message. How do I know if these trains are available? And for trips with several legs I get messages that say some of the parts of the journey can’t be made. 2.) Second question: for trains where reservations aren’t necessary how does one know what car to get on and what seats may already be reserved by others before we sit down? 3.) Finally some of the legs have very short transfers like 7-9 minutes! Is it possible to make these connections? We’re in our sixties and not marathon runners

Hi there, I am travelling with my 15-year-old daughter on June 8th from Milan. I am trying to decide between staying in Salerno or Sorrento, and to save time will get the fast train from Milan to Salerno or Naples (transferring to local Sorrento train).  We will then base ourselves in one place to explore for 3 days. I know this is not near enough time, so would appreciate thoughts on the benefit of location and ease of getting around via public transport to places of interest - particularly Pompeii (we won’t do Vesuvius). We have a Eurail pass that we will use for the fast trains, but believe it won’t work for local trains. As a Mum and daughter travelling alone, I am keen to ensure the safest options, where we can maximise our time, without running around too much and not enjoying just being in this beautiful part of the world. Any recommendations for favourite, reasonably priced accommodation in Salerno (walkable to train) or Sorrento would be appreciated. I have found a wonderful A

we have several train trips booked with your app, but your app will not accept entries to reserve the seats.Please do not refer me to the seat reservations instructions again.It does not work.

Hi, I’m planning my trip to the UK right now and I’m a bit confused about the public transport. I found a list which lists all the different train companies I can use with Interrail but can I use these only on a travel day? (this is the list btw: Railway Companies | Interrail.eu) So for example if I’m in London for two nights, I’ll have one day (in the middle) which isn’t a travel day. Can I still use the public transport on this day or will I have to buy a ticket additional to the Interrail pass? (I have the global pass)It would be lovely if someone could help me with this :) Lots of greetings

Can i use the  Germany Rail pass for the train in Austria ( from Salzburg to Innsburg)?

I'm about to use my pass for the first time in 5 days. I've just read that you pick the train times you want and it instantly gives you qr code tickets to get on the trains. But I've seen that not all journeys on the app are accurate. So if you use a travel day and pay for a seat reservation on the app (I'm not 100% sure how that works yet) and you could turn up and there's no train. I haven't clicked on anything yet so I hope someone could help me figure this out.

Sorry, I have a question, can I do it like this? I came from Wroclaw to Vienna but now I want to go from Vienna to Wroclaw, my country of residence is Poland

Hi Community,It would be very handy if I could share a planned travel day from the Rail Planner with my companion, so she can add it to her Trip without having to search for herself. This does not seem possible, only with total Trips - or am I wrong?Hope so,regards, Pieter

I want to travel from Ravenna to Venice on Saturday June 15th.  We travel to Ravenna from Florence on the previous Saturday to take a cruise, and we are staying for two days following the cruise in Venice.  I was able to finalize all other train travel throughout Italy about a month ago, but this particular train is only showing a 6 a.m. departure from Ravenna on this date (and this is too early as we won’t have disembarked from the ship at that time).  I’ve been checking this route everyday for the last month and thought more times might become available today, 2 months out, but still nothing. Does anyone know why this might be?  Any assistance is appreciated.  thanks.
