Get ready to travel

I am planning to book the Nightjet from Munich to Paris on 6 Jul 2024 departing at 00:12am at OBB website.  However, I found there is no available ticket.  When I try to test some earlier date.  I found there are ticket available from Vienna to Paris in some dates in March but none available from Munich to Paris.  May I know whether there is some privilege for journey starting from Austria or due to other reason (e.g. rail replacement work in German portion? etc) 

Earlier this year I was travelling Brussels to Chamonix. I was planning on leaving Brussels at 0823 on ICE13, via Cologne - Basel - Martigny - Vallorcine, to arrive that evening into Chamonix.On day of departure, the ICE was cancelled. The next departure to Cologne was a Thalys an hour later. I paid €25 for a reservation, and could still get to Chamonix that evening.Then my ICE from Cologne was delayed, missing my connection at Mannheim, and I wouldn’t be able to get to Chamonix that day by train. So I diverted instead to Geneva airport, where I took a shared bus transfer for €50.Eurail gave me a €20 refund for the delay, but that didn't cover my extra costs. (I mentioned the Thalys expense, but not the bus cost)Should I have done things differently? Should I have let myself get stranded in Vallorcine, then somebody would have paid (or reimbursed me) for a hotel or taxi? Or is it just tough luck?It would be useful to know for the future.

Me and my friend are going to Spain and Greek islands, so the question is that can we buy one ticket for each country separately. One country pass to Greek islands and one pass for train to Spain? First we are in Spain and then straight from there we fly to the Greek islands.

Hello guys.I’m planning my first trip to Europe early April next year, and will stay some days on Switzerland as well. I’ve been researching a lot since I’ve made the decision to go, and, by the looks of my Eurail timetable search here, it seems that the connections between Interlaken and Lauterbrunnen/Grindelwald are now covered. Still wondering whether I might be misreading something here.Even the Gruetschalp up to Murren seems covered as well (although getting from Lauterbrunnen to Gruetschalp still seems to require separated ticket though). 

We are going to to italy,france and switzerland and i need a guide what are the coverage of the global pass. Naples, Itay - this where we land.  Naples > sorrento - ferry (i doubt it is included to the global pass. But let me know if it is)  sorrento > positano   - ferry (i doubt it is included to the global pass. But let me know if it is)  positano > Amalfi - ferry (i doubt it is included to the global pass. But let me know if it is)      Then we will go back to naples.    Rome,Italy - from naples going to rome, is this included to the global pass using train/bus/ferry? Paris,France - going to versailles and mount saint michel (is this inculded to the global pass) Switzerland - From Paris > Zurich (is this included to the global pass?).  From Zurich going to lucerne,grindelwald, zermatt etc… is included to the global passAppreciate your feedback

Hello everyone ! Tell me :What are the cheapest train company sites that you can advise me about the price of seats (day train) and that include several European countries ? (like OBB for example), to avoid the Interrail app. And should the company's website have a space where you can add "Interrail pass" ?Other information : I have a flexible global pass and I'm coming from France. Thanks for your answers.

Hello ! I have a question :Why is it sometimes marked "ticket not available" when I want to book on company sites ? Should we wait or is it just not available online ?Other information : I have a flexible global pass and I'm coming from France. Thanks

Hello ! A few quick questions :Do I have to activate the pass in my home country or whatever ?For the reservation of seats on company websites, can I delete the seats if for example the train is deleted or change of plan ? Because the ticket yes if I don’t activate it in my pass but if the seats are already taken ?Other information : I have a flexible global pass and I'm coming from France. Thanks for your answers.

Where do I go to see the latest information in English of news of the German train strikes should they go ahead and how that affects trains. We have several trains to catch through Germany in the next 3 days.

I want to take the Caledonian sleeper from Edinburg, departing Feb 25th, to London, arriving Feb 26th. And the Eurostar from London to Amsterdam at Feb 26th. Does this count for one interrail traveling day or two traveling days?

Hello,if I miss my train (takes too long at airport to make my train connection ).  Can I take the next train w same route without needing to cancel and rebook again.  On the tickets it says; valid for ~24hours. But also says cancellation free before 1st valid day.  Which this train would be my 1st train ride on the eurail.Seems like read where I  would need to cancel and rebookthank you 

It’s allowed next scenario for inbound journey in last day: Munchen-Budapest with day trainBudapest: leaving at 23:10, arriving next day 15:06  at Bucharest, no change train? I assume that arriving dat in Bucharest is in validity period of pass.  

Hi everyone !!!  Help!!   We are booking our trains for our great euro adventure.  Im interested to hear if anyone has any positive stories about reserving first class seats.  The first train we need to reserve is April 30 ( Paris to lucerne ) and seats can't be booked yet.  (so hard when you can't lock plans in, in advance )  Sigh.  We are keen to be organised but we are super stressed we will not get seats.  Does anyone have any actual insight into what date I will be actually be able to book our reservations ? Very grateful to hear any personal experiences :) 

With a country pass is travelling from and back to your homecountry included?

We are arriving at de Gaulle airport, and want to go directly to Bayeux. Trying to figure out the quickest/most effective way to do so. It seems we need to go through the St Lazare station, and the best way between there and the airport is the RER train. However, not sure what passes we need, or if we need to purchase passes in advance at all. Thank you!

Hi, Does anyone have experience with traveling from San Sebastian to Paris via Hendaye station in 1 day? What is the best connection between san sebastian and hendaye? by train or by bus? thanks, Remco

Hallo zusammen :) Ich plane im Juni meine erste Interrail Reise. Ich hab nun schon länger die Strecke geplant und dachte ich frag mal hier im Forum nach. Es wäre echt super hilfreich, eure Meinungen zu hören. Vielleicht kann ich ja manche Strecken besser planen, als bisher.Undzwar startet die Reise in Portugal. Der Plan ist wie folgt:Porto -> Lissabon (3h) Lissabon -> Faro   (3h)        Faro -> Sevilla (mit Bus)  und dann weiter mit dem Zug Sevilla -> Cadiz  (1,5h)    Cadiz -> Valencia  (9h) Valencia -> Barcelona  (3,5h) Barcelona -> Montpellier (3h) Montpellier -> Deutschland (9h)Ich würde falls möglich lieber mit der Regio fahren um die Reservierungskosten zu meiden. Aber soweit ich gesehen hab, ist das bei den Kurzstrecken (vor allem die in Portugal) nicht möglich. Bei den längeren Strecken, sind Schnellzüge wohl sinnvoller. Am teuersten ist der TGV nach Deutschland, was sich leider kaum vermeiden lässt.Sollte jemand bessere Alternativen haben, gerne her dami

Hey everyone!I‘m currently planning my first interrail trip and thought it would be fun to take the ferry from venice to Igoumenitsa. If i understand it correctly, Global Pass holders should be able to travel free with Attica Group Greece-Italy (Superfast Ferries in cooperation with ANEK LINES) as it is stated under pass benefits:»Global Pass holders are entitled to:International Lines:Free air seats or dormitories (where available) for 1st class Pass holders and free deck passage for 2nd class Pass holders«But if i want to book the passage on their website, only the interrail/eurail greek island pass is listed on the discount-dropdown. Another problem is, that the ferries won‘t show up in the interrail app, if i search for connections between Venice and Igoumenitsa.Maybe someone has an idea what i‘m doing wrong or are the pass benefits just not up to date?Any help would be much appreciated,thanks! 

Hi, I want to travel home by night train. I have 10 days within 2 months pass and i have still one travel day and one inbound journey left. The pass is valid until 27 January 2024. I want to travel home with night train from Prague to Warsaw. I wont change any trains and train leaves at 21:00 and arrives at 09:20 next day. I want use ony other trains after this night train. Is it possible to use it with onluy one travel days remaning? Another question is about the RailPlanner app. This train EN441 is a direct train. However during journey sleeping cars are connected to different train in Bohumin. This happens while everyone is sleeping and noone notices it. However RailPlanner does not see it and marks destination for EN441 as Bohumin which is not true. Therfore i will need to add it manually (of course if i can use it - this is what the first question is about). Wont adding it manually be a problem?Done Interrailing three times and this is the first one when i get really confused. Gre

We are seniors and will travel from Utrecht (Netherlands) to Rome and back.We have booked our tickets with the Global Pass.But it turns out impossible to book beds and seats.OBB sent us back to Interrail to book the beds we need.What to do???

Hello,I have understood that with the one country pass it is not possible to take trains that cross the border, meaning that you have not right to an inbound or outbound journey from your country of residence. Do you know if this also applies to the train companies of the country I am travelling to (e.g. does this rule also apply if I have a France Country Pass and I want to take a SNCF train from my country of residence)?Alternatively, do you know if it is acceptable to buy a normal train ticket to cover the ride between my city and the first stop in the country I am travelling to (e.g. I buy a normal ticket from Brussels to Lille and I use the France Country Pass from Lille to my final destination in France)?Thank you!Eleonora

I know I buy the interail pass through their website, but where do you actually book the train. I’ve got their planner app, but somebody said that isn’t very good. Can you use the interail pass on other train booking apps, or do u need to use the pass on the interail app and just use the other train apps for live information 

Attempted to purchase a paper Global Pass on the Eurail website. Delivery for the paper pass is not until October 2. Our Travel isnt until early December, however, I have two trains that will require a reservation, and would like to do that before the paper ticket arrives, as I dont want to find out later there are no seats available for passholders.   My question is if I go ahead and purchase the paper ticket now, with delivery much later, can I get the required pass number to go ahead with my reservations?   I really do not want to get a mobile pass. I do understand some folks have had good luck with it, and some not so much. Just prefer the paper.   Thanks in advance

Hey. Ich habe die Railplanner App und es sagt mir, dass die Strecke von Deutschland nach Barcelona nicht durch das Pass Netzwerk gedeckt wird. Wie kann das sein? auf deren website steht sogar, dass man dort hin fahren kann?
