Get ready to travel

I bought the Global Pass, read that I have to have seat reservations on my trains.  Which I did.  To download this on my app it wants a DNR , which 7 digits on your confirmation email.  With seat reservations I did not receive a DNR.  I haven't activated my pass yet for my trip in the summer.  I am booking seat reservations for the travel from London to Milan, and each city I plan to visit. I'm getting nervous, I would hate to be in London and found out I did this wrong!  I booked on Eurostar and had no problem, it's on my app. But when using Bahn app for seat reservations to Würzburg, I received an email but no 7 digits to download on the app. Help me understand this, please!

On our last leg of our trip, we will be staying in Colmar, France and then heading to Paris. We will have to take a train from Colmar to Strasbourg, and then catch a high speed from Strasbourg over to Paris. My initial thoughts when researching these separately was:Catch the 6:44AM to 7:25 AM from Colmar to Strasbourg, then the 7:49am to 9:35am from Strasbourg to Paris allowing us 24 minutes for the connection.But when I plug Colmar to Strasbourg into the SNCF Connect app to try to book it all together, it offers:7:06AM to 7:39AM from Colmar to Strasbourg, then the 7:49am to 9:35am from Strasbourg to Paris allowing us 10 minutes for the connection.This seems like a bad option since it really isn’t allowing for any room for error or delay. Should I just book separately? Or is the app normally spot-on for what it suggests for a multi-stop journey?

Hello :) I would like to ask you if someone had made any experiences with skiing in Lapland (Levi or in other places).Actually, you can book a daily tour to go to the ski area, but I would like to know if it is possible to go and do it by yourself because the tours are a little bit too expensive. Any advice would be helpful (costs, transport, etc.).

I am planning to visit Europe on 28th December to 12 Jan. I am planning to buy eurail global pass for 15 days. Will it cover all my travel needs. Like when I am doing sightseeing in Paris or Switzerland the internal trains are included in it or not. Like when I will go from Paris airport to hotel I can use that pass? 

why the reservation booking from Myrdal to Oslo get as paper reservation pass which is sent by post  only ? could it be sent by email ?

Hi everybody, I'll go on my first trip in Norway on 11th of April and I'd like visiting Bergen too but I was trying to book my tickets oslo - bergen and I found out that every trip is sold out on that day (except one that is about 13 hours). Is it possible? Anything sold out? Should I wait more time?  

I was trying to find Trains I can take to go from CDG to Bayeux. I am getting “Pass not useable”. What do I have to do?

I am traveling early July from Bern, Germany to Milan, Italy. Map shows there is a main train but every time I click on a search it says none are available. How do I find one. The search makes me put in an exact date and time to search. Is there a way to search all routes between the cities and times available? 

Hey everyone! I am studying two options to go to Sofia:1- with Interrail - they propose to go firstly to Craiova in Romania, and wait 2h (from 5 to 7am): is the train station for a single woman? Then take a train to Sofia. 2- taking a direct bus - it lasts one day but it costs 77€ with flix bus. But it doesn’t seem to be covered by Interrail what is the best solution? is the train by night from Budapest to Craiova comfortable and safe? As the train station?  thanks !!  

It looks like we will be taking an NS train from Amsterdam to Brussels in April due to Eurostar not being available. If I book my tickets for the specific train we want via NS International, even though there is not assigned seating, does this still at least guarantee my place on the train? I am worried about trains being full and us not being able to get on one despite booking tickets in advance. It is the tulip festival weekend, and I am guessing trains will be a bit more crowded during this time so I just want to make sure I am planning accordingly.

I've never used Eurostar before, so forgive me if I'm missing something obvious, but I'm trying to book a ticket from Amsterdam to Brussels over a weekend in April and the dates are greyed out and it says "Not available" under all trains. I can't find anything about work being done or anything that might be the cause to this... any ideas? Are all the tickets sold out?If I can't get a direct train from Amsterdam to Brussels via Eurostar, are there other alternatives that won't take a ton of time?

Hi,May I know is cheaper to reserve a seat online or at the physical station ? 

Hi,As I can’t view seat avaliablity before buying a 2 month pass, how likely is it that I will miss out on seats in July If I purchase a pass now? I am travelling through Spain, France, Switzerland and Norway. Many thanks for any help  

Can I cancell the reserve pass which printed on  paper of some route  and get refund please?

Hi , We plan to take Euro pass to travel to Europe. Is Swiss Alps Jungfraujoch Day Tour from Interlaken coverd in the Euro pass. If not, from which website we can buy cheap tickets for this journey?

Hi. I'd like to travel from London to Athens by train. I will have two weeks at the end of March/beginning of April this year. I could fly back to the UK if necessary, but would prefer to do the whole journey overland. Any advice gratefully received...many thanks

I deactivated my pass yesterday as I want to change the starting date of the pass. After the deactivation, I reactivated it again and renewed the starting day as 7/2/2024. However, when I want to make a seat reservation for the train on 7/2/2024, the sentence “Your Pass isn’t valid on this date” appears. May I know how to deal with this problem? Thank you so much!

I have mobile global pass with not activated yet , also have reserved the seat while the route from Myrdal to Oslo issued the paper pass and on the way of delivery, later on I want to change the date and ask for mobile pass , is it possible due to next week I willstart my travel and could not got the new delivery in time.  

Hello. I get to Switzerland from Brazil next Wednesday 10 A.M. I intend to take a train to Interlaken, but I don’t know how much time it will take for me to pass immigration and retrieve luggage. Should I reserve seats beforehand? Should I wait?

Hi there,This is the 1st time I am posting query in this community and so please bear with me.  I will be travelling with my family to a few destinations in late Apr/early May, with global pass.  We are planning to travel between Paris > London > Brussel and I understand I have to make seat reservation in advance for taking the Eurostar.  My question is do I have to activate my pass (I have added passenger details into the app but have not activate) in order for me to make the reservation online?  As I have never try online seat reservation, plus I understand that there will be a fee incurred if there is a need to rescheulde my train timing after making seat reservation, hence I need to understand in depth instead of doing something silly.Appreicate your guideline in this matter.Thank you.   

Hi:I recently purchased a second class, senior global Eurail pass. My trip begins at the beginning of March. It seems like there are a LOT of supplements that I was unaware of when I bought that pass. I am starting my journey in London, so I figured there would be a supplement for the Eurostar from the UK to Brussels, but I guess there is also one to go from Bruges (where I’ll be staying for 2 nights) to Paris, as well? And from Paris to Lisbon? And from Lisbon to Madrid? It seems like every train I want to ride requires a supplementary fee. Is there any way around this? Those fees will add up fast!!

Hello! This is my first time using Eurorail and travelling on Europe’s trains (I usually take planes) and just wanted to make sure that I have got everything right for my trip. Tomorrow I am taking the train from Amsterdam to Berlin. We have activated our card and bought our seats even though it said it was only recommended.Do I just show the QR code that it shows in my pass for the day?How long should we get there before the train leaves?Is there any customs? I have the photos of our eurorail stuff here, is this all correct? I found the site and seat reservations a bit confusing.  

Hi Everyone, We plan to travel to some countries in During Easter holidays . Do we need to take the Eurorail pass in well in Advance or can it be bought closer to our travel dates? has anyone faced availability issue with Eurorail pass?  

A first timer here on using Interrail passes. I will be using a first class pass. I am going to travel from Hamburg to Venice with my family and we will use the Brenner route, traveling from Munich. I read that there was a supplement fee that you had to pay if you entered Italy from Austria. I bought my tickets through the ÖBB website, but I mistakenly booked them using the “Seat reservation only” option. I can’t get my tickets refunded, and I am worried that the ticket could be refused.I was wondering if it was possible to pay the supplement fee by local means instead. Can you speak to a staff member in Munich or on the train if you want to pay it there? If so how do we do this?

Hy, im trying to book the nightjet 402 from Zürich to Düsseldorf with my interrail 1st Class Ticket and it states i need a reservation. Now im not sure if i get a sleeperbed if i book the seat reservation over Interrail (1. Class) or if this will just be the seat?  Thanks already a lot for all your help😁. Greetings Simon
