Get ready to travel

Hi Guys , New here , how many days in advance can you book a  eurail pass? do night trains have s sleeper class?  Thanks

Hello all,On 18 October I'll take the NightJet from Vienna to Arnhem (and after then with the intercity Arnhem-Nijmegen), my homestay-country is The Netherlands. I don't want to spoil my inbound-trip for just 18 km (Emmerich(Gr)-Arnhem) and after then buying a full price ticket Arnhem-Nijmegen. DB and NS-International sells tickets with BahnCard 100, very handy for buying-tickets without having to pay for the German part, (not official, but CIV shouldn't have abandoned the possibility to sell tickets from and to the border.ÖBB sells Reservations with Teilgültigkeit, (but not online, so only optional if you live in Austria, or not so far-away from the Austrian border). How could I solve this? Buying a ticket Emmerich(Gr)-Nijmegen, or sending a mail to ÖBB for an option? Are here Dutch travellers who have had the same problem like me and which solution did they have found? And how much will a Reservation with ‘Teilgültigkeit cost more). Does someone have such ticket and could he/she put

Hi, I’m new to this Interrail thing, and I hope my question is not too stupid 😉I plan to do two trips with my two month global pass, so I won’t have any outbound and inbound trips left for the second trip. But here’s the thing: I’d like to finish the second trip with a night train journey to my home country. The destination of the night train is also my final destination, so there is no need to take an extra travel day for the inbound journey as described here.Is there a chance the app will accept this trip home as a “normal travel day”, or do I need to buy a regular ticket for this night train journey?

Hi, I’ll take the nightjet to Wels Hbf and in the morning I have to change trains to Salzburg around 7.30 in the morning. This takes 2 traveldays, while I thought it would be seen as one. If so, how can I change this? Thanks for your help.

I take the nightjet to Wels without an in/outbound. So I will start my travel at Emmerich (Germany).But Emmerich is not a stop so I can not check out (I do have a Dutch OV chipcard with discount).How does this work?thanks.

Hello, We are trying to buy a global pass and not sure if we should use it for  ferry rides in Interlaken or just pay out of pocket and not waste a travel date on the pass.

hi everyone. I am trying to book a direct train ride from TGV Lyria - Dijon to Lausanne but the train is not showing on Eurail app. I have entered it manually, but how do I find out if the train is available and how do I book it?

Buenas noches estoy intentado reservar asientos desde Lisboa a Madrid pero me dicen que no es posible reservar asientos, mi duda es para viajar debo hacer la reserva de asientos, donde la debo ejecutar? y tambien hay una parada en españa con escala de 10 minutos en Badajoz que tambien me solicitan hacer compra de asientos, y en españa como podria hacer la reserva de dichos asientos con tan poca cantidad de minutos para hacer cambio? que me aconsejan 

Hello, I booked a Eurostar reservation with SNCB quite a few months ago.I paid €34 and that shows in my PayPal account.I just happened to check the email today and when I checked my ticket there were two reservations, both in my name and for different seats. They are both for same day too.There is also a total dossier value of €64.Only one ticket brings up a bar code.The reason I am asking about this here is to see if anyone else has experienced this phenomena of mystery tickets appearing.Also, I don't have access to my phone number ATM (well not unless I pay for a days roaming with my provider and I have a data eSIM) but the only way to contact SNCB on the app is by phone.Does anyone know another way to contact SNCB? I am tempted to just leave this and on the day declare I didn't book that second ticket but I'd hate to be told I have to pay for a seat, or something.

Hi everyone!  I have an inter rail pass and want to book a train (outbound) from Bordeaux to Cologne (route goes through Paris). I am not able to book the train through the app or the provided links for TGV etc.However, I can see the route on SNCF. How can I now make the reservation? thank you!isabella 

HelloI have a global Eurail pass. Tomorrow I have a train going to Paris from Barcelona Sants. I paid for a reservation to Nimes then train switch and another reservation to Paris airport.Change of plans,I need to go to Paris, Gare de Lyon station now. This would be via my first train that I have reserved to only Nimes. (It’s a direct train). Could I just stay on the train to gare de Lyon. I can change my Eurail ticket easily enough. Thx for any advice. 

I bought a seat reservation for the night train from Roma to Torino tonight. I saw there are still couchette beds available for reservation, and would love to make an upgrade. I just don’t know how to do it. Can I go to the station and ask for an upgrade to a couchette bed? Would it be possible to upgrade inside the train?There’s a strike affecting public transit in Rome today, so I doubt I’ll make it to the main station.Has anyone had any experience with this?Thanks in advance.

The tool is great, however I often end up calling SNCF for a long journey to change my seats! I wonder if it would be possible to bring in a seat selection tool, or perhaps bring in the ability to communicate preferences such as single, aisle, or window, like many European railways have on their client-facing systems. Are there any plans to introduce this in the future?

Hello,I have a question about the validity for Eurail pass between  VALLORCINE (France) and MARTIGNY, GARE (Switzerland). The validity seemed OK. for yesterday, but not OK. for today.  Is this kind of situation occurred because of the weather condition? Now I am planning a long traveling in Europe for about 2 months. I am worry about that my planning can’t be completed smoothly because of the uncertainty and it will affect the  reservation for air ticket and aural pass. 

I was gifted a Eurail Global Pass, 1st class, for the duration of my trip to Europe. On my itinerary I have a lot of countries, including Italy but not Greece. I’ll be traveling in late fall.I have some room in my itinerary. I wasn’t planning on traveling to Greece, but I like the idea of a free “cruise”-like experience. But, since I have this pass, I’m wondering if I should do this with the ferries?My question is, what are the ferries like? If I have the opportunity to use them for free, is it worth making room in my itinerary for it?

My pass is until Oct 29, and I just booked my last train on Oct 29 and it’s Night Jet so it will arrive onOct 30. Should I book again?

I have tried entering my rail pass number numerous times without success and can’t get past that step to book / reserve a seat on a train from Florence to Torino. Any advice? I’ve tried multiples of combinations or other numbers that they might accept…super frustrating! 

I’m planning to go from France to Switzerland, is it possible to sit faster route but not paying for the reservation fee.

HiI'm planning a trip to Spain and Portugal next week. I tried to make the reservation for a train Montpellier (France) - Madrid (Spain) with the company Renfe but I saw that it's not possible on the interrail website and that I should go to a train station. And that's what I did. But there, they explained me that I can't book that train from France, since It's a spanish company and that I can only do it in a spanish train station. But how am I suppose to book the train in a spanish station if it's leaving from France ? Can anyone explain me how I should proceed ? Is it possible to make this reservation ?Thank you very much 

I'm planning to go from London to paris with Eurostar provider, may I know what is the cheapest way to buy a ticket? Or is there any way to do free of charge.

I just bought 15 days continuous pass. But I just to start travelling at 16th November, it means that my interail pass will only start counting the 15 days from the day that I register in Rail Planner?

I read on interrail.eu, ‘More often than not, you need to make advance reservations for trains in Spain’. Is this true? Is it usually not possible to travel in Spain without seat reservations? Is the Interrail app information reliable where this is concerned? How can I find Spanish trains where it is not necessary to have a seat reservation?

Hello, I have bought an interrail pass for 4 (2 adults + 2 children) and I would like to plan my trip to Spain for the Christmas holidays. But at the moment rail planner is not offering tickets for sale for these dates (between 27 December and 7 January), it seems that it's too early. The problem is that the trains are on sale on the websites of the national companies (SNCF and Renfe).I read on the forum that you can book via the national companies but I can't see how to book an interrail pass, they only offer to buy tickets at the normal price, as if you didn't have a pass... I can wait for the rail planner to offer them but by then the trains will be full. I'm afraid that time will go by and I won't be able to book any more journeys because everything will be full. Can you please tell me what to do? I'm getting very stressed about having a pass that I can't use. I thought it would be simple and that once I'd bought the pass it wouldn't be complicated to book seats, but I feel complet

Hola,Soy Eugene y es mi primer contacto con el mundo Interrail.Mi pareja y yo queremos hacer un Interrail de un mes por mi 60 cumpleaños. Es un proyecto que siempre lo hemos querido hacer y por diferentes motivos siempre lo hemos pospuesto.El 2024 es nuestro año😄*Primera duda: Yo hago los años en Septiembre 2024 y querría iniciar mi Interrail ese mes.Puedo comprar el pase antes de cumplir los 60 para utilizarlo cuando los tenga?*Que tipo de pase sería el óptimo?Queremos estar 1 mes de viaje y visitar 6 o 7 países. El pase de 7dias en 1 mes ( flexible ) sería suficiente?*Porque el pase continuo de por ej: 1 mes es que tienes que usarlo todos los días durante ese mes no?Como veis estoy muy perdida con el mundo Interrail.Planteo mis primeras dudas.Advierto que son infinitas.Espero conseguir planificar el viaje con vuestra ayuda.Gracias.Un saludo,Eugene
