We’re excited to introduce our newest moderators to the community!Some of them may already be familiar faces, while others are joining us for the first time — but each of them is here to help guide conversations, support members, and keep our community welcoming and engaging.To introduce themselves, we asked each moderator to share a memorable travel story that started with a train delay.Here’s what they shared:​@Warren A train delay in Germany once forced a last-minute change of plans, which unexpectedly turned into a much better alternative.​@Camilo. My Eurostar from Paris to Rotterdam was heavily delayed due to a storm, but the experience turned out surprisingly positive. We received free food, and the staff even arranged and paid for my taxi home. Tip: if you’re stuck, always ask about taxi options. They can often organise one, but you need to request it.​@St Kristoffer During a group trip, my train was delayed in Paris, so I decided to explore the station. That’s when I tasted mac

I used to take train in ik and swss without paying even it SEAT RESERVATION REQUIRE, so can i practice aswell in train from london to paris? Tq

Hello. I plan to travel from Amsterdam to Spain and it's approximately 23h. In this case, if the day I leave Amsterdam is my last day of pass, would you let me do the transfers the next day to my final destination or do I need two days of pass? Keeping in mind that on the day of departure I would activate and reserve mandatory seats and use the planned route.

Hi everyone,as a new here i wanted to know if when i have to book a seet in a TGV i can select my seet in the train ? Some friends of mine coming with me but not with the Interrail Pass so can i seet with them or not ?Thanks for the response and have a good day !

Hi,I created several trips on my PC browser. One of the trips I used for purchasing reservations, let’s call it “trip 3”.But when I go to “plan your trip” in my browser, trip 1 opens. I can’t find a way to open and change any of the other trips. When I go to my profile, I find a list of my planned trips, but trip 1 is missing, and I can’t find a way to open or edit trip 2 or 3, I can only edit certain things like fellow travellers or the name of the trip.can somone help me to get that sorted out? thanks

I am trying to connect a trip to my passWhen doing so I am exclusivley linked to my last trip (under my trips), which is still shown as active (I could not complete the trip as planned because my train through trasbourg was cancelled and I had to go through Paris insteadI presume that the still active trip is the cause of my problem. When I want to delete the active trip under my trips I get the message “can not cancel an active trip (kann nicht storniert werden)”What can I do   

Hi, I'm not really sure if this is how you use this site so forgive me if I'm “ute och cyklar” as we say in Sweden ( “out biking” when someone is extremely unaware/wrong). When I was 8 (now I’m 19 turned 6 days ago happy birthday to me yay :D) my amazing parents took me on a trip through Europe, we went to many different countries but I fell in LOVE with cochem. It is the one place i til this day think about and miss. I have skimmed through recommendations and such but someone know any/ how to find any well priced (low) hostels/ living places there? :D (sorry if this is not what I am suppoesed to ask lol :D)

Hi there, I bought a global plus pass 3 months ago and I am using it now. I’m not very good booking seat reservations, but LNER  have been great and have helped me. I just booked seat selection via the Italy website, but I wanted to use one of my credits, i have two left. I used one for the Eurostar, but I can’t remember how i did it. Can someone please help me, explain how to use my credit, i ended up paying 65 Euro for seat selection and I want to use up my two credits left. I hope this makes sense. I only have my mobile phone now, last time (for the Eurostar) I think I used a computer to book. thanks

Apologies if you are reading this twice.  I wrote this at the end of an earlier posting and then noticed that it was headed up with ‘solved’ and so thought it may not be read.I previously sought advice on this forum about using Eurostar vouchers (for a delayed departure) to part pay for reservations on the London to Paris train.  I received some good advice.Unfortunately i called just now and was told that vouchers could not (no longer?) be used for Interrail passholder reservations.   Peter

Bonjour,J’ai pourtant lu différentes sources sur le sujet et je ne suis toujours pas sûre d’avoir bien bien compris?Est ce bien au moment de l’activation du pass que les billets sont édités et donc disponibles et que c’est seulement à ce moment là que l’on choisit nos jours de voyage?Comme il est conseillé de ne pas activer le pass trop tôt, ne prends t’on pas le risque, pour les trajets sans réservation, de ne pas avoir de disponibilités.Merci de votre retourPatricia

Hi, first time speaking here.I live in Nottingham, United Kingdom (for now) and my multi-entry Schengen visa (issued by Germany, so I need to enter into Schengen area for the first time from Germany) validates from 31 March 2026. I have already booked a trip with Lufthansa flight tickets 31 March Birmingham - Munich, 7 April Vienna - Munich - Birmingham, and hotel bookings in Munich from 31 March to 4 April, and in Vienna 4 to 7 April. During the week between Munich and Vienna, I am also planning using trains to explore the wider area. Likely to Innsbruck, Salzburg, Linz, and Bratislava. If this was the end of the story, I would not hesitate since Interrail would not be worthwhile only for this.However since there are 4 weeks of “Easter Break” for me, I am also (secretly) planning to go elsewhere. It would not be immediately after the first trip since I have some important stuff happening between 8 and 15 April. I am considering Prague or Silesia - their industrial history and railway

My current country of residence is Germany, and I am travelling to Switzerland.I read about 1 outbound and 1 inbound travel day, to leave and return to your country of residence using the Pass.as interrail pass, I wanted to ask whether it is applicable for a single country pass or only a global pass?

Hi all. I'm going from Interlaken West to Roma Termini on August 2nd this summer. Whenever I look at possible trips for this route, there's an issue from Milano Centrale to Roma Termini. On this date, there seem to be no high-speed Frecciarossa trains at all. Whenever I look at dates from July and before, they run multiple times per hour. Does someone know if there's a reason for this? I'd prefer for it to not take 10 hours to get from Milan to Rome :)

I am new to this, and want to be absolutely certain that I don`t get this wrong; when I buy a travle pass, I can use this pass to book tickets directly on the traincompanies websites, and with my Interrailpass code I will get redused prices for the reserved seats? 

Hi there!I discover interrail concept recently and I love it! I plan to go to Göteborg (Gothemburg) from Paris, and from there take a flight for Paris at the end of my trip. I’ll probably be solo traveling the entire journey as a girl, between the last week of July and the first of August and I plan to stay at hostels to cut prices.I used the Trip Planner of Interrail and I was thinking about this travel itinerary (but let me know what you think) :Paris → Odense (connections in Köln/Koeln and Hambourg) (I don’t wish to stop too long by those cities nor Brussels because I’ve already been there for few days); Odense → Copenhagen  Copenhagen → Malmö Malmö → GöteborgI don’t absolutely want to visit Götenborg but the flights are cheaper with this departure. If you have other itineraries let me know your suggestions :)So here are my questionsSince I’m a beginner in this adventure, do you think it’s doable? How many days should I plan to stay in each places? Where or how can I book my train t

We are 2 persons doing the same planned trip. I could add My trip to my Rail planner, but not the other person’s Rail planner. The trip did not come as a alternative in the other person’s Rail planner. The other person is connected to My trip  and travellers. How should we do?

Hi,I am trying to connect a trip to My Pass for Day 2.When doing so, I am exclusively linked to my trip for Day1, which is still shown as active (circle left of the trip name is blue). The planned trip for Day2 does not show up. The trip for Day1 could not be completed as planned, because my train to Strasbourg  was cancelled and I had to go through Paris instead.I presume, that the still active trip for Day1 is the cause of my problem. When I want to delete the trip for Day1 under My Trips, I get the message “cannot be canceled (kann nicht storniert werden)”What can I do? Since my data are “in the system” I may have the same problem, when buying a new Pass.Thank you      

Is there a protection fee available on a global promo pass?

I used to have a ymail account but tried to delete it all after the data breach. I bought a new pass with a new email address and despite deleting app when I reinstall it has all the data that should have been deleted. I log out and log back in with the email address I bought the pass with but it never sends the code I need to add the pass. It’s a dog’s dinner of a mess.

Je dois me rendre au Portugal avec mon chien. Je ne peux pas réserver des billets sur la compagnie utilisée, parce qu’ils me renvoient directement à interrail. Je ne sais pas où réserver mon billet. Je trouve ça légèrement compliqué, parce qu’on nous dit d’appeler, mais une fois qu’on appelle on nous renvoie ailleurs. Et je ne comprends pas non plus pourquoi je ne peux juste pas isoler un billet pour mon animal, surtout qu’elle va être dans une caisse. 

Hi! I sent a request to join the “Find a Travel Buddy” group, but I haven’t received any response yet. I just wanted to check if everything is okay or if I might have missed something Thanks !

Bonjour, j'ai gagné un pass interrail mais ne connaissant personne disposer à en prendre un savez vous où est ce que je peux trouver des gens qui voudrait voyager avec moi afin de faire des rencontres.Je partirai au moins d'août vers le 10 et je souhaiterais faire vienne de sûr puis peut-être les pays bas ou l'Italie ou l'Allemagne. Si cela intéresse qqun Elisa :)

I activated 1' class global pass. Can i acess to lounge Without reservation of ticket or confirmed ticket in pass? Now i just reached uk. Tq

I am trying to make seat reservation from Munich to Bologna on the 18th july. Due to construction work between Brenner and Innsbruck,  that is not easy. 1) There is a connection at 08:06 and  08:28 where I can only reserve seats for part of the journey. Is that because you don't need seat reservations for RJ113 and R 3843? And I guess the S3 is a lokal train or replacement bus, where seat reservation is not needed? 2) For the connection at 08:52 through Zürich, it is quite expensive. I am used to the 13 euro reservations with the italian trains, but why does the EC 21 cost 13 euro per seat as well? Any suggestions for my travel to Bologna, where I need to be before 22.00 same night. Best regards Karina 

Wie heeft ervaring met stiptheid van treinen in Centraal- en Noord-Europa; ik zie soms heel korte overstaptijden van ca 5 minuten; is dat te vertrouwen?
