Get ready to travel

THIS COMPANY IS HORRIBLE.Passes were bought erroneously on my credit card. I contacted this HORRIBLE company within minutes to get it refunded. AND THEY REFUSE  to give me a full refund.Not only will they STEAL from you. They will explain to you that their website is made so poorly that you cant even tell if you can get a seat on a train before you buy a pass. So you buy the pass only to find out it wont work for ANY train you need. DO NO, I REPEAT, DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.  WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I’VE EVER DEALT WITH.

Hello, I’ve been reading Travel Books, Travel Websites and oh so many questions and answers about Train Travel in France, especially Paris St Lazare these past few weeks and I’m not getting a warm fuzzy feeling about this ;-)     I have never traveled by train before, so it is all new to me.Briefly, Land in Amsterdam, train to Cologne, train to Mannheim, train to Paris est, Taxi to St Lazare, train to Caen.          Mannheim to Caen is on a Friday in May 2024.Following Friday in May, Train from Caen to Munich via St Lazare, Paris est, Stuttgart, then Munich.CONCERNS: Books/Websites say to Book Trains and Seat Reservations early. 60-90 days early if possible, especially if traveling on Fridays, Busy Months Like May, Using Eurail passes because seats sell out faster and there is a limit on how many Eurail Passes that will be allowed on trains. Oh, I almost forgot, this 2024 is the 80th Anniversary for D-Day and I will be in Normandy a few weeks before June 6th.GREATEST CONCERN; Not getti

Hi everyone, extremely knew to the concept of interrailing, heard of it but never considered it a viable option. My intention would be to travel with my bike in tow, it’s only a small BMX bike.  i’ve seen in the FAQ’s that it is at the discretion of the rail companies as to whether they alllow travel with bikes, but was curious to ask in here if anyone had any first hand experience? i assume travelling with a bicycle ain’t hugely unusual and i am hopeful i will be able to make it work on my travels this summer. Thanks in advance,Chaz

Travel as a group by eurail global pass, when I choose the trip and save in "my pass" as 6 persons , once I book it , how will the others of my team get their qr code of tickets please?

Hi!I’m going to take a ferry to Igoumenista next week. Then I want to explore Greece, does anybody have done that? I know there is no train station in the area, but there is a lot of buses, so maybe I can travel by bus for the beginning.

Hi people. I want to know if in the passes include the night sleeper trains.  

Hi,On the interrail planner map, it shows train lines running from Venice to Rome. But, when looking for train times on this website it tells me that there are no trains available. Does anyone know why this might be?

I want to travel from Rotterdam to Paris with the Eurostar and from Paris to Barcelona with the TGV. Both have limited seats available for Interrail. I need to buy the Interrail Pass before I can safe a seat in those trains. How can I be sure of a seat? 

I’m planning a trip to Venice in March and I’d like to travel by train rather than fly, I’m thinking of taking three days on the trip with two overnight stays.  I’d like to incorporate the Bernina Express in the trip too. I’m not a seasoned rail traveller so I’d be grateful for any tips on the practicalities of using interrail for such a trip. 

My husband and I are from the US. In the US….train usage isn’t something we do. As a result, I an clueless on how to make a booking. I am entering our travel cities and nothing generates. We are needing the train for two trips.From Dublin Airport area to York UK. Our flight lands at 5am. In a perfect world, it is no fun hanging out in an airport for hours after an international flight lands. We would like to be on a train heading to York by 8am. I am simply attempting to find information on this path to see what I will have to book closer to our actual arrival. Nothing is generating. From York UK to Edinburgh, Scotland. Departure time 12 noon or earlier. We need to be in Edinburgh by 3pm. Can anyone please help me figure out the trains we will have to take? Also, is it more cost effective to purchase one of the offered Euro Passes?Thanks

Hi all, I'd like some inspiration for my trip from Switzerland to Lisbon. Preferably not via Paris and as few as possible with seat reservations. This trip is planned for around 20th May 2024. I have 10 days/2 Months global pass. Any suggestions?

The Monterosso to Milan scheduler at trentitaiia for the day I want to travel (April 19) says “Sold out seats on train 670. Solution cannot be purchased”. I understand that’s a poor translation that really means the schedule hasn’t been made available yet and bookings are only available till Feb 18 or so . The first puzzle is, how do I know when the seats are truly sold out and when they’re just not available? Theoretically I could be waiting months, checking every week only to eventually find I actually did miss the booking window and the seats are really sold out. Therefore, to try to see what might become available I have tried to use a Friday in Feb to see what might eventually become available. Following is the result. I am 66, my wife is 64 and we have a Eurail 1st class pass. Would I be correct in following the process to book the Economy 1st class, which theoretically gives me the option to change my booking date/time if necessary?   

I want to go from St. Moritz to Zurich by the most beautiful way.Can someone give me suggestions?

Hello, I have a question- I have an Interrail global pass flexi pass and by this information in my Rail Planner is written 7 days within 1 month and I don't know what does it mean-that I can travel only for 7 days or something different?  

 Hello, i would like to take a ferry from Bari to Corfu or any of the other greek Islands. Is that possible? And if so, How do i figure that out?

Hi, another question on night trains :)We’re looking to go from Lak Bled to Split & the connection has a night train from Dobova to Split & when I look to reserve - I get this message Can’t find more information below on the Interrail site, but if I go on to the Nightjet website it seems I am able to book 2 couchettes in a 4 or 6 berth carriage. Does that sound reasonable? Does to me but then I’ve read elsewhere about not being to book couchettes mid journey / late in the night, so just wanted to check. TIA

Hello! My husband and I will be travelling to Italy next year and we only have about 13 days and I would like to visit the following places: Milan for 2 days (The city we will fly in and out of), Venice- for 3 nights, Florence - 1 night, Rome - 2 nights, Naples - 4 nights and then back to Milan.I’m very overwhelmed with the Euro train system as we don't have anything like this where I’m from. Is there anyone who can advise what type of pass I will need (I would like to take advantage of the high-speed trains to have more time in each location), how to reserve and any other helpful tips.  Do you have any other suggestions that might make this trip more relaxing or better via travel? I’m open to ideas, I just heard that Europe has a fantastic public transit system. First time in Europe and I really want to make the most of it! Thank you !!

Dear Community, We have planned a trip from Germany, Berlin to Sweden, Stockholm by night train and I am wondering if I have understood everything correctly. I have bought a four-day Global Pass and plan to start in Essen and take the ICE to Berlin. Can I use public transport in Essen to get to the main station?As I understand it, I need a full day's travel to get from Essen to Berlin to catch the night train, as we leave before midnight.But I need two days for the return journey, because a new day starts when we arrive in Berlin. Is it allowed to use another day to travel home the rest of the day (as we will not be crossing another border)? Finally, if we stay in Sweden, can we use a Global Pass day to visit another city in Sweden by train? Or do we have to cross a border?And do you have any tips to keep in mind?Thanks in advance.Regards Silvia

Buenos días, todavía familiarizándome con como funciona, y tratando de organizar un recorrido saliendo de barcelona, no encuentro ni un solo tren con disponibilidad, todos aparece Pass Not valid.

Hello, I will be travelling to Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg in March for about 9 days. I am planning to buy Benelux rail pass. To travel from Amsterdam Airport to Brussels City center, what are the options? Do I need to make advance seat reservations?

Good morning, l am having a little problem with the confirmation email. I have received it but the rest of my group has not, so I can not activate the pass. Could you please give me any information on what I have to do?

I would like to take an early train in the morning, but I will arrive late the day before. I cannot make a reservation online and have to go to the counter, so I would like to know what hours they are open.

I’m trying to book tickets for travel to the euros but each time I try to check out this happens… any ideas please? I’ve tried on a different browser too but it still does the same thing! I’ve successfully managed to book other dates without this happening. 

Hallo zusammen, Ich möchte Reservierungen durchführen auf der Interrail Website (Planner App verweist darauf), aber ich habe keine Möglichkeit einen Fensterplatz oder ähnliches auszuwählen?Ist das normal? Danke Gruß Peter
