Get ready to travel

Hi! I’ve been travelling in Austria and Slovenia - and been a bit confused as to which rail company is running the trains I’ve travelled on - does any one know if there an app or website to help?e.g IC793 - is this Slovenian or Austrian?RE79036? Would appreciate having this kind of info at hand as it would help when planning…. 

Hello,I am trying to book seat reservations via oebb.at (as recommended in this community) for traveling in and out of Italy. The trip is on 20-04-2024 from Florence to Lugano. I am trying to book FR9504 from Florence SMN to Milano Centrale, departing at 6:55. And EC316 from Milano to Lugano, departing at 9:10 from Milano Centrale. However, via the OEBB site the seat reservations cannot be booked. What is going wrong? Should I just book them via Interrail reservation tool?Kind regards,Daniël 

Hi, I am trying to make a reservation on a domestic greek ferry. The last years, I have made it through email, but this year they want me to do it online. They want me to enter my activated pass cover number. I have tried to explain, that I have a paper pass. They don't seem to understand me, and asking for the same activated number. Anyone know if it not possible to use the paper pass anymore, to get the discount? Eurail/Interrail: it is mandatory to insert the activated Pass Cover Number during the booking process.  This is from the web site. Nothing about paper passes.  Regards Karina 

Hello,I want to make reservations for TGV in France and Eurostar from Paris to Amsterdam.I’ve seen that the Eurostar can be booked through the website of the SNCB but unfortunaly TGV can’t be and it is not possible on the website of the SNCF neither.But I’ve seen that both can be booked through RailEurope but I wanted to be sure I could trust the website since it is not from any national carrier and that I will not have tickets that are not valid when I board the train or something like that. Does anyone have ever used this website ? And additionnaly do they charge a booking fee and how much ?Thank you very much

Hi!Me & my friend are thinking of getting the 4 day pass and was wondering if anyone had any ideas/trip itineraries?  London will be our 'home base' so we will be starting and ending there. (Although I'm from Newcastle so if anybody knows how i can use it to get from Newcastle to London that would be great as it would save me driving down) We are open to go anywhere is europe and are very comfortable traveling abroad. Also how does the Eurostar work when you have a interrail pass??  Thanks in advance!!!

Hello,I have a question about the ferry journey from Patras to Bari.I'd like to know if this journey is included in the Interrail Global Pass.Thank you in advance.

hello!We would do a interrail family from Rome (Italy) to Sweden, with stops in Munich, Copenaghen, Malmo, Stockholm, and back. We would use a night train from Rome to Munich, and from Munich to Copenhaghen. But I can’t unterstand if night trains costs are included in Interrail family ticket or not, (in this case the amount of the difference to pay), and how we can book reservations, having children..Thank you very much!

 I want to interrail with my friends and apply for the free pass. However, it seems that, in order to apply, we need to have 18 years old in the first semester of the year. Only I will have 18. What does this mean?? Will it be impossible? This rule just seems weird .

Hey, me and a group of 18 others are planning a trip to Slovenia from Brussels. We were thinking of using interrail but still aren't sure if it is the cheapest option. We would like to use the national train and bus system as well and maybe even venture out to Croatia. Anyone has experience with this?Thank-you

I would like to use the IC carriage with seats (IC 60409: 19:59 - 04:48).My question about this: Does the Interrail ticket cover the travel day May 6th? the journey from Milan to Zurich and also the entire night train journey from Zurich to Leizpig in the IC carriage of the night train?And can I really use the DB seat reservation for €4.90 for this train?Thank you

Hello, my girlfriend and I want to go from Stockholm to Goteborg in August this year (August 15th). We have already booked the Interrail ticket, but it is not possible to book a reservation for any train. The latest train where I could book a reservation would be on June 3rd. Starting with June 4th, I cannot find any single train on any date where I could book a reservation.Is every single reservation after June 3rd outbooked, or can I only try to book the reservation like 3 months before the trip (like in Germany) or so? Thank you in advance for all answers (and sorry if my english is not the best ;) )!

My Interrail route is going to be Vienna-Venice-Milano-Nice-Montpellier-Barcelona-Valencia-Madrid. is this route going to be 6 or 7 travel days?  thanks for the help 

I was gifted a Interrail Global Pass - Flexi Pass: 7 days within 1 month with start date 5. June 2024.Am i able to exchange this pass, although i didn’t pay for it or postpone it?

My friend and I both have 1st class Eurail passes. I am very confused as what these cabin reservations mean?Is it one single cabin for the both of us?Is it a 1st class single cabin each?What is the difference between the two?Is it actually direct an I also looked on another site and the exact same train journey has a 40 minute connection? (I don’t know if this is the ferry?) Advice would be greatly appreciated I just don’t want to make a mistake! Thanks :)

How do you book flam rail tickets using eurail discount?

I’ve booked some seats on some trains in Italy for two people. Our seats our 18A and 19A, 6A and 7A etc. does this mean we’re sat next to each other, or are we in seperate rows? 

Folks, many years ago, I used Interrail a lot. in the 80s, the passes were dirt cheap, covered all countries and more or less all trains, and the rules were as easy as ordering a coffee in a café before Starbucks was invented.but I’m not here to complain, at least not only.I’m planning to travel to Italy in a few weeks. There is no direct border between Germany and Italy, of course. as far as I know, there is a rule that you can travel in your home country to reach the destination country. But what if there is Switzerland or Austria in between? Is that included? Do I need a global pass?

So I will be doing a rail trip with my partner starting on March 21 and going until march 30th being final rail travel day. I have the 5 day Eurail pass but have some questions regarding seat reservations and not being able to find trains to reserve seats on RailEurope when they are on Eurail rail planner appTrains are:Train 1: Origin: London St Pancras Intl , Destination: Amsterdam Centraal , Date: 03/21/2024 ,Departure time: 11:04-16:15 ---- Seat reservation bought through EurostarMy comments: Bought already, locked in, the only ones I could findTrain 2: Origin : Amsterdam Centraal, Destination: Berlin Hbf, Date: 03/23/2024 ,Departure time: 11:33 - 17:51 ---- Seat recommended?My comments: If I understand Eurail “seat recommended” I can sit in any unoccuppied seat, but dont have to pay to reserveTrain 3: Origin : Berlin Hbf, Destination: Krakow Glowny, Date: 03/26/2024 ,Departure time: 11:52 - 21:27 ---- Seat recommended?My comments: Open to adjustments, not on RailEurope, but others

We’ll be travelling thoughout France July 18  through August 18, including Olympics in Paris. We have an Eurail pass in hand. Normally we wouldn’t be able to book trains this early, but Paris 2024 says we can book as of tomorrow March 13. At least for travel within France. Does anyone know or expect that on March 13 we can book for this period though Eurail’s main site, or will we have to book through SNCF or some other site?
