Hi all, how do i add a journey to my trip if the journey does not show on the planner?Example: I’m travelling from Brussels to Berlin via Cologne. Int.bahn.de shows this service at 06.25, 08.25, 10.25, 11.25, 12.25, 13.25 and so on. Trip planner shows the service only starting from 11.25 and then less frequently than is actually timetabled.I have the same thing with other journeys where i can see a single direct service exists, it accepts interrail reservations but it is not shown as an option on the planner - which advises tortuous 5+ change routes adding hours and 100s of unnecessary miles to the trip. What am i missing?

On my first day of travel I need to go from Innsbruck to St Moritiz. The planner is saying I need to take three trains. My question is do I book the three trains individually and get 3 tickets or do I book it as one trip Innsbruck to St Moritz and get one ticket? Thank you

Looking for a travel buddy – Interrail May 2025 🚆🌍Hey! I’m [your name] from Germany, and I’m planning a scenic Interrail trip through Norway, Sweden and Finland from May 17 to May 26, 2025.My route includes amazing train rides like the Raumabanen and the Nordland Line, with stops in cities like Stavanger, Ålesund, Bodø, Stockholm, Turku, and Tampere. I’m all about nature, unique rail routes, and beautiful views – less about big cities and nightlife.I’m looking for a relaxed and open-minded travel buddy (or buddies) who enjoys exploring new places by train, shares a love for Nordic landscapes, and is up for spontaneous detours or photo stops. Whether we travel the whole route together or just part of it – totally open!Let’s make this an unforgettable trip! Feel free to message me if you’re interested 🚉❄️🇳🇴🇸🇪🇫🇮

My family and I agave the Eurail Pass and have been using it for 3 weeks.  Our next stop is Paris. We are staying in Montrouge for 4 nights and then flying out of Charles de Gaulle Airport.  How do I find the closest train station in the Eurail network to where I’m staying in Montrouge.  Is there a function on the Eurail App that allows you to see all the stations that are in network? I’ve messed around with the app a fair bit but still haven’t found a way to do this.  I’d be grateful for any help you can provide.

I am looking a my train options for my Europe trip, many of the trains say that the ticket reservation is optional. When I put them in my cart they have an extra charge. Is this just because I am choosing to book in advance or is this the standard price of the train that I would pay whether I book in advance or not? Also is this worth it to book in advance when it is optional?

Just trying to buy a couple of Global passes. Everything fails at the payment screen, I get -Anyone else had this issue? I’ve tried using Chrome, Chrome Incognito, Edge, Edge InPrivate, Windows, Android. Nothing. Same error. Any idea are very welcome, many thanks!Looking at the Inspect I see eurail.com trying to access checkoutshopper-live.adyen.com which is banned due to the website setup. Additionally it warns “Lit is in dev mode. Not recommended for production! ”.

Although on my selected train appears “free komfort (premium) class seats reservations for 1st class holders on Regiontog trains”, ENTUR will charge additional 500 NOK on REG 471 / REG 472 (Trondheim-Bodoe) for premium class. Only standard is free of charge.

hello, we are bloody beginners and have bought senior interrail passes. We are going to travel in Scandinavia on may 1st.  I activated our passes in the Rail planner app.After that I booked seats via SR, the Swedish Railway, from Hamburg to Stockholm, and from Stockholm to Göteborg. When ordering I had to fill in the interrail pass numbers.I got tickets for that with QR codes. Are these tickets enough, or are they just reservations?Do I have to add the journeys also in the rail planner app and get other tickets?I know these are propably stupid questions but would be grateful for help!

Bonjour,Pourquoi il m'est impossible de réserver le trajet Lyon (France) - Vienne (Autriche) via Paris (Paris - Vienne en train de nuit).Sur le site interail, le trajet TGV Lyon - Paris n'est pas compatible.Pourtant lorsque je fais des recherches séparées:1/ Lyon - Paris2/ Paris - Vienne (train de nuit)ça fonctionne, et je peux faire la réservation. MerciVincent

Hi, I cannot make a seat reservation for Spain neither in Rail app neither in rail Europe.com 

Hello I have planned to travel on 15th may from tornio itainen to helsinki by finnish railways. I purchased global eurail pass.Rail planner show ' seat reservation required' for tornio itainen to helsinki. There is no available option in rail planner securing my seat.  I have heard VR call centre and at thetrain station are the only way tto reserve the seat. My question is there any way to conform my seat reservation online before my traveling other than VR calling centre and train station.  Regards

Hallo, ich wollte einmal nachfragen, ob ich die Sitzplatzreservierungen auch über die einzelnen Bahnseiten machen kann? Zb.: über die Deutsche Bahn Internetseite. Oder muss/kann ich die Reservierungen nur über die Rail App oder Online unter Interrail machen? 

HiFirst Lesson learntInterrail planner says “Reservation Optional” PLS IGNORE THIS.  I have been planning my journey for past 2/3 months - It was just by chance I looked at the country own web site. It was then I found out NO SEATS Available on a train I planned to take, just as well I checked, yet inter rail planner says I am all good to go , and I dont need to make any seat reservation. HELP FROM THE COMMUNITYWith above issues in mind, I re visited all  my plans and rather then believing what the app is telling me , I went onto the country web site.This is where my disbelief just stated.Trying to reserve 2 seats from Basel to Lille The swiss train web site will not give me the options for inter rail pass.The inter rail planner - if I go via them , then it is saying in order to reserve seats - It will cost me sub 100 Euros Surely this cant be correct ?Especially I have purchased 1st Class interrail pass - Surely I cant then be expected to pay additional 100 Euros - Am i being naive  o

Where on the website can I find the My Trip sheets - use to be easy to find

Hello! I have a couple of  questions about how the Pass works. First I wanted to know if the trip has to start and end in the same train station or at least the same country. Related to that I was wondering, if I’m planning on visiting 5 cities (Vienna, Prague, Berlin, Amsterdam and Paris) can Paris be the last “destination”? (I would start my trip from Milan). I hope I made myself clear.Please help me if you can because I'm going crazy planning this trip ahah. Thanks!

Hi all,I’m new to interrailing and trying to learn as much as I can quickly. I am worried about booking tickets for this summer and missing the tickets for Eurostar and night trains.I have purchased a 10 day pass with the aim of going on two trips this summer with my partner and two sons. First trip is from London to Amsterdam, then to Germany, and back to London. The second trip is then to Croatia - I’m still trying to work out a route for this. Today, I noted that I cannot use the pass for my second trip in and out of the UK. So I guess I need to purchase Eurostar separately for this return trip. My concern is that if I do the first trip and return back to London my pass will no longer be valid. Is it ok to do this?Also I am looking at booking the night train from Zagreb to Stuttgart and the website says the train might be subject to change. Is this a concern? I am not sure if this just means a timetable change or a cancellation. We do need to return from Croatia as quickly as possib

I allready bought a pass on the interrail website.euI have a iPhone and a laptop with windows 11, I used the browser Firefox.I activated my pass at the mobile Rail Planer App and conect it with a spesific trip. The same pass is connected to another trip on the interrail website in my account. The Trip from the App isn’t shown on the interrail website and the Trip on the website isn’t shown in the App. I can change the trips in the app as I want but in my accout there changes nothing. So the sincronization between the online website and the app obviosly doesn´t work, even it´s the same pass and the same account. How can I fix this?

Hi - any advice please on how to approach reservations for July for journey 3 passholders and 1 non passholder Lake Bled to Budapest.  And then Budapest to Prague a few days later.  We would all like to sit/travel together.  First time interrailing - I think I can deal with the 3 passholder bookings but not sure how to navigate with this additional non pass.  Any steer/advice much appreciated.

Hi Thanks to this community wife/I have now managed to put our plan together. We are travelling for the 1st time on this type of holiday.Help/suggestion.We have have Lebara network provider SIM phone ( UK based). This provides us with the ability to roam within EU - at no extra cost.Though just returned from Prague and it did not work there - The google map was just not picking up the data. We plan to travel to following countries - noting 1 of them is not part nof EU.Norway Sweden Denmark Germany Austria Switzerland FranceAny suggestion as to how best to make sure our google maps works, so we are able to find our way in that given country/location and we are able to acess our passes/tickets etc on our phone.is Esim the way to go - or is there a SIM only provider that gurantees good signal across all the countires.Or would we need to see how we get on each country and then buy either Esim/local sim in that given country.I am from a generation where we had everythig printed and had pape

Hola, tengo dos pases globales de 7 días en un mes para empezar a usar en septiembre, el día 1 ya tengo los billetes, y cuando quiero agregar viajes para el dia 2, guardo viaje en la carpeta creada y me pone que no está asociado a ningún viaje, claro me deja hacerlo pero desvinculando el viaje del día 1, y no entiendo como puedo "comprar" todos los viajes de los 7 días para que queden vinculados cada uno en el pase de las dos personas que somos.Tengo que vincular cada viaje después de haber terminado cada trayecto? 

Q: Can I use my Interrail 2nd class Global Pass to book a deluxe single sleeper cabin on CD? I’d like to use my 2nd class pass to reserve a single deluxe cabin on two routes (Budapest-Krakow & Warsaw-Prague). CD has an easy process, and for both it does assign a single deluxe, *but* going through the ‘Document terms and conditions’, it says:“Compartments in sleeper carriages are divided into so-called “Economy”, where a 2nd class ticket is required for all types of compartments (Triple, Double, Single and possibly connected Family compartments), and so-called “Deluxe”, where a 1st class ticket is required for all types of compartments. For use of a berth of the category Single (a compartment with one bed), it is necessary to present a travel document issued for 1st class travel.”CD giving me the option to book a deluxe single with specified 2nd class IR seems to contradict the Ts&Cs. Man in Seat 61 does not specify (as he does for all other night train options) for the Czech si

Is it possible / common to be able to get a standby ticket on Eurostar train (Brussels to London) the night before my current train ticket? 

hi, i’m travelling from the UK to Europe using a global pass. can i make multiple journeys in my home country using the pass? the website is ambiguous - it says i can only make two journeys - one in, one out - but i can have ‘multiple train transfers’. Does this mean i can travel from any location to London then get the eurostar as long as it is on the same travel day?And the same on return i assume?
