Do I need Eurail Pass before I make a reservation for the trip from Paris to Rome?Or, in other words, can I make reservation for trip without a Eurail Pass?Would an overnight stop in Milan make sense? t\Then train to Rome from Milan?This would be our only train trip. Will be flying home to USA after a week in Rome.

Hi All, I wonder if anyone can help…I bought a seat reservation for the Berlin to Brussels night train, and I have an interrail mobile pass. But, the sleeper journey doesnt show up in the interrail journey finder, so how can I add the journey to the pass??

Can I buy an interrail pass for my child as a present? 

hi, me and my friend are having some problems in booking domestic travels in the greek islands, because, using the hellenic seaways website, they told me my document number is not valid (referring to the cover pass number), but I used the one they give me when buying the greek island pass (6 days). how can I deal with this problem?

Hey,I am trying to book a seat reservations for the train from BRATISLAVA HLAVNA STANICA to KRAKOW GLOWNY (direct) for 2 travellers, however it says I will receive a paper ticket? I start my trip tomorrow so will be unable to wait for the ticket to arrive at my home. I have managed to book all the other trains on my trip to have a mobile ticket but not sure why this journey is unable to receive a mobile ticket. Any help/suggestions would be really appreciated!

Are all the trains and taxes included in the interrail global pass, Or is it still necessary to pay an extra for each of the trains you take even if you have the pass?

I am planning to go from Amsterdam to Paris this thursday the 20th of July. I already knew that I won’t be able to take the TGV that goes straight to Paris Nord, but I saw that there were other options available. Now that I am deciding which train to take, I am confused. I clicked the button ‘no reservation needed’ on the interrail website and it gives me the option to go from Amsterdam-Antwerp-Paris. For both parts of the travel it says ‘ you’re ready to board’  as if there is no reservations required. However, when i went to check real-time timetables of the trains on the dutch train website (NSinternational) it said the trains were fully booked and that it was actually a thalys (and not an intercity, as it says on the interrail website). The  train code numbers and departure times are exactly the same on both websites, but NS says it is a thalys and interrail says it is an intercity. What I am asking is this: is there any way that the interrail website gives wrong information and I

Are the night trains with beds to sleep inside them included in the global rail pass ?

Our family of four was so excited about our upcoming trip to UK next week. It is our first time to visit the country and friends here. However, planning this trip is far more difficult than what we have imagined.  We bought the global pass saved all the journeys to the app. Unfortunately, we learned that the strikes will affect our train schedule.We will arrive Heathrow terminal 3 on 20 July at 6pm and want to take a train to Cambridge directly.  We would like to knowhow long does it normally takes to get through the custom and security at Heathrow? Will there be any train from airport to Cambridge on the night of 20 July?We planned to go to Birmingham to Cambridge on 22 July. There is only a few trains on the National Rail available. Since we cannot book or reserved these trains via global pass. We are afraid that all the seats will be sold out .We have booked hotels in Cambridge and Birmingham and hope to follow our original plan as far as possible.Hope to hear your advice.

I would like to take a train from Aachen to Horrem with DB (bus 913, replacement bus) but in interrail app information about seat booking is not available. I check in DB site but i don't understand if I have to make a reservation or not, I can only pay the entire ticket. Is it cause by the signature of replacement bus? If so, how can I do?

We will arrive London in the evening on coming Thursday, 20 July. We have 4 global passes and will use them in London, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam. It’s our first time to use a mobile pass. We would like to know:Shall we activate the pass now? Or shall we activate the pass on the first day to take the train which is 20 July ? After activated the pass, is there a QR Code generated automatically for each journey added in the apps? What about a manually added trip? Can I share the journeys saved in my apps with other pass holders in the same trip? Once a ticket is issued (with QR code), can we change or cancell the journey? For trains that need reservation, we have already got pdf ticket, do we still need the QR code in the app ?    

Hello, I'm going to buy my interrail global pass with Renfe.After that, how can I do to book the different trains that I want? I have to do that in the renfe app or I have to do that in this rail planner app?If it's the second one, will I need the code of my interrail pass or what things will I need?

My email about a train reservation in Italy says the following: 'Remember: you must be able to show physical copies of your reservations ánd your Interrail Pass to the conductor.  This email is not a valid ticket.  So keep your printed copies in a safe place'.Does this mean I only need a physical copy of the reservation or that I also need a physical copy of my interrail pass. If so, how do I get the physical copy of my interrail pass (where can I find it in the app to print it out)?

Hi everyone,I was interested with my friend to buy a 4 day ticket for the Greek Island to travel in Cyclades in this way:1- Mykonos to Ios2-Ios to Milos3- Milos to Santorinibut consulting both ferry companies included in the pass it seems impossible to reach Ios from Mykonos and Santorini from Milos.Are some islands not included? We would like to understand if we didn’t find the right information or actually these routes are impossible to do. Thank you so much

I’m somewhat confused. The high-speed trains from Paris to Amsterdam are fully booked as usual and the Rail Planer offers me to take the following route for the 30.7.:IC 9339: 12:22 PARIS NORD -  BRUXELLES-MIDIIC 9126: 14:22 BRUXELLES-MIDI - ROTTERDAM CENTRAALIC 1041: 15:51 ROTTERDAM CENTRAAL - AMSTERDAM CENTRAALThe confusing thing is that I can’t find either the IC 9339 or IC 9126 in any other Rail Planer and I’m pretty sure that the IC 9339 is actually the THA 9339 that’s already fully booked.

When I checked Eurostar Interrail availability this morning on the Interrail site it seemed that seats for my day of travel were running short. So I booked a second class seat London to Brussels even though I have a first class pass because that was all it was showing. Now I look again just a few hours later and it is showing full availability for both first (Standard Premier) and second class.Is there anything I can do here to change the seat rservation to Standard Premier without having to pay again? Does this sort of thing happen often?

Hi everyone !  I want to make a seat reservation with my France-Germany pass. When I am not connected with my e-mail adress, the site shows that seats are available. However, the moment I connect, it is impossible to load anything. And the site says that the seats are not available. Can someone help me please ? 

Hello all!i could not find seats on the Eurostar to Paris from London, so i booked to Brussels instead. we still need to get to Paris and i’d like to avoid reservation fees. The timetable on Interrail shows me INtercity trains every 30 minutes or so, but these are non-existant on the french or belgian train sites. not sure who to believe any more! as i am traveling with kids, i would not like to be too disorganized. what do you advise? thanks for your help 

Hello people, I have the Interrail France Germany friend Pass and I’m having some troubles using it.I live in Bordeaux (France) and I’d like to visit Berlin (Germany) on July 28, 2023 for a week. From my understanding, I should use a Outbound trip to go Bordeaux-Berlin and an Inbound trip for my return Berlin-Bordeaux. Then I have 7 usable days for train travel within Germany.Here’s the catch, the app won’t let me use my pass to go to Berlin. I must take these trains:Bordeaux - Paris MontparnasseParis Nord - KoelnKoeln - Berlin I can activate my outbound journey for Bordeaux - Paris. They want that I use one of my 7 days for my Koeln - Berlin train. But I cannot use my pass for my Paris - Koeln train (this is the train that crosses the frontier). The app says “Our network doesn’t cover some of theses trains”. Am I missing something? Everytime my train needs to cross the frontier it seems like I can’t use my pass.Also, is that normal that I need to pay 92€ of sit reservation fees for my

Hi I wish to add a traveller, but when I choose the option: add a traveller by paperpass I am sent back to the front page. Is there a mistake on your website or how can I add a traveller by paperpass?  Isabella    

Hola, quiero realizar un viaje a Francia desde Madrid, que es mi lugar de residencia. Mi idea es coger un AVE de Madrid a Barcelona y luego el INOUI desde Barcelona a Paris. Me parece entender que con el one country pass de Francia no podría reservar el AVE, pero el INOUI si aunque salga de Barcelona? Y con el global pass podría reservar los dos? Y si puedo reservar los dos, debo realizar los dos  trayectos el mismo día, o puedo pasar una noche en Barcelona? Esto último teniendo en cuenta que cuenten dos días de viaje claro.También podría hacer el viaje desde Madrid a Irún y de Hendaya a Paris, pero básicamente mis preguntas son las mismas, excepto que entiendo que el tren que sale de Hendaya si puedo reservarlo porque pertenece a Francia.Muchas gracias.

I have manually booked a journey on Intercity train #727 from Lamezia Centrale to Messina Maritima on 21 September but cannot make seat reservations. Eurail and interail both do not show that train but i have booked the train and have a ticket. I dont know how to access the Trenitalia site to just book seat reservations, 

Hi there,I am travelling from Germany to Austria and then from Austria to Italy. I already know about the Brenner and Tarvisio supplements but I have this problem: I tried to book on the ÖBB site and it looks like the supplement to cross to Italy is only 10 euros. For a first class seat reservation on the EC85, for example, you need to pay extra 5 euros. My question is this: Do I have to make reservations for a first class seat on each train (or high speed trains) in Italy even though I already have a 1st class Global Pass? 

Currently on Android version 31.7.0 and which I updated to the other day (came out on the 7th July). Using the 1 month continuous mobile pass, (just incase helpful with answering)  So I am in the middle of planning and booking the neccesary trains I need for my trip I.e. eurostar and other long distance trains which need reservations. I have also added to my trip and some of the connections I need/ will take that do not need a reservation. (as its a continuous pass I do not need to worry about the travel days).I have been using the app to find the trains I need for booking elsewhere but with these connecting trains they do not show under the pass. For example I am going from my local station to London st pancreas which takes like 20mins and with the pass is free, and then from there eurostar. I added the local train to my pass and the eurostar (even though booked online) and they count as the outbound journey which does show under the pass. I then bought and printed out a ticket from p

I have a continuous 1 month pass and I was having issues with booking tickets on the website. (I dont know if this is to do with buying on myinterrail.co.uk, so while I can get the pass on my phone when redirected to eurail to buy tickets its not the same account so it says there is no pass under orders). Anyway I have booked a few trains already on my laptop instead and clicked the option on an interrail pass on both Eurostar, OBB and TGV. I have printed out these tickets but they are not on my app pass. Is this going to be a problem if I show the print out and then my pass but the ticket not being on the pass? I do not have a problem with trips that do not require a reservation as these can simply be added to the trip in the app. Have I made a mistake and it is possible to link a ticket from myinterrail.co.uk to eurail website when reserving tickets. (i dont mind paying the 2 euro extra if I had peace of mind that it is on my pass).
