Get ready to travel

There is one thing I find quite confusing in the Passes for kids description https://www.interrail.eu/en/interrail-passes/deals/free-travel-kidsIt’s states that a child can travel with any adult. But it doesn’t state if the adult must be traveling with an Interrail ticket too, or if it must be the same adult that has bought the Interrail ticket? 

Hi,We are from Australia and have no recent experience with European train travel other than managing to catch the Eurostar from London to Paris last Sunday.We are catching the 9.40am train from Paris to Barcelona this Saturday leaving from Paris Gare Lyon. What time should we arrive at Paris Gare Lyon? We prefer to leave ample time so that we are not stressed, have a bit of contingency time. We are travelling with four children (aged 10-15) and have four suitcases.Also do I assume correctly that this train originates in Paris, and that therefore there will be ample boarding time?

Ayuda, quiero comprar el pase de 22 dias para viajar a varios paises en tren ahora en julio, sin embargo, tengo duda respecto a si es necesario reservar asiento en todos los viajes, ya que si me quedo sin puesto no tengo problema en viajar de pie (si es un viaje de 2 hrs), pero si no hay puestos me dejarán subir?? 

Hi!I am trying to book seat reservations from Paris Austerlitz to Nice Ville on the 21st of august, but cannot get through the booking as the "continue to traveller details" button does not work.Where/How can I book my seat reservations otherwise?If somebody could help me i would very much appreciate so!Thanks.

Hello everyone!My name is Alexandra and I plan to travel with my cat through Germany, France and Spain. My question is regarding the extra fee some railway companies (in this case in France and Spain) require you to pay for travelling with your pet. Once I have my Interrail pass and made my seat reservations, how can I pay the fee for my pet? Can I do it at each station directly?Best!Alex

Buen día ,quiero cancelar mi pase,puesto que no lo he activado  y tener la devolución de dinero ya que los trayectos en los horarios que necesito para agosto no están disponibles ,y las reservas están muy costosas ,cuánto tardaría en verse reflejado el dinero en mi cuenta ?

Hi. We have booked trains from Budapest to Istanbul on a Eurail pass on the 4th of July. Its says seat reservations are required but we unable book seats even though the cost of it appears, We cannot physically reserve seats

Hello,Inbound/Outban count in the number of days of Global Passs ? Thanks yo

I am planning a trip throughout france and switzerland. when i search the eurorail website, fast trains are not included, and they show me 5 to 6 hour travel times.  but when i do a basic google search, shorter trips (2 or 3 hours) are available on the  same partner railways.  if the fast trains for the partner rails are excluded, i may consider spending extra for shorter travel times and buy individual ticket. 

I‘ve made a mistake!I‘m going to travel with my son (10). We have got. the 7-days-global-pass.I wanted to start the journey yesterday, but he became ill. Stomach! 🙈So I deactivated the first trip, I thougt so: I just deactivated MY pass, I forgot to deactivate the trip on my son‘s pass. So for him the first travel day (1/7), the one out of the country, is already used.How can I change that? Can somebody from the staff change it for me? Because my son obviosly HASN‘T TRAVELLED YET! I saw it by chance, filling in the new trip, because the child finally feels well again and I want to start travelling in three hours…I will get in trouble on the train! Don‘t I?Thanks a lot.

Hello!  l have a little over 2 weeks to do some solo traveling in Europe from roughly July 15th - Aug 1st 2023. This is a spontaneous trip (like all of mine usually are). I've used the trains in northern Italy and Japan when tourism was very low. My concern on this trip is having issues with seat reservations. Id like to start in London take the PO ferry to France (from dover to calais) and then take a train to Paris, Lyons, Marseille, and end in Barcelona. I don't want to set my schedule in stone, and I may spend more days in certain cities depending on the circumstances. Is this route possible to do spontaneously or will the trains on these routes be completely booked in advance?Thanks for the suggestions,  Dan

I am currently planning a trip to Europe with my two daughters. My itinerary is as followsDusseldorf to Paris 29th Dec after 12 pmParis to Manchester UKManchester to London AMRome to Florence - Venice over 6days  mb use local trains Krakow to Munich onto Garmisch-PartenkirchenGarmisch-Partenkirchen back to DusseldorfOur time lines are pretty tight ,we need to connect to the Paris London train to get to Manchester and unsure if we should do the Manc - London on a trainKrakow to Garmisch-Partenkirchen is a big issue as we have literally days 12/13/14 to go from Krakow all the way to Dusseldorf which is proving problematicI would also like to know that to be able to book these in advance how can i do this without activating the EU rail passany suggestions 

I am planning to travel Stockholm to Trondheim on June 8th. but at present the Vy & Sj timetable show it is bus replacemet service from Duved-Stolien-Trondheim.Sockholm-Duved  Train 80Duved-Storlien Bus 571Storlien-Trondheim Bus 71The Interrail planner will only show the train part of the trip Stockholm-Duved. I can book a reservation for that OK.My question is how I can book reservation on the Bus replecement sections Duved-Storlien and Storlien-Trondheim?

How can I view and modify my seat once reservation was made and paid.  I need forward facing seats and prefer to sit two seats rather than three or four seats side by side.

Hello, the inbound and outbound journeys are indeed taken into account when purchasing the Interrail pass. Based on your itinerary of Paris to Milan (Italy); Milan to Bari (Italy); Bari to Patras (Greece); Patras to Milan; Milan to Paris, it appears that you would need a 5 days within 1 month pass or a 3 days within 1 month pass.

Op de reservering staat mijn roepnaam en niet de eerste naam die in mijn paspoort staat, is dat een probleem als de conducteur het opmerkt? 

Hi all!Just a quick question, has anyone else noticed it’s not possible to reserve a seat on the Oslo-Bergen train? I tried reserving one on almost every day in August and September on the interrail website but I get a “ Prices unavailable” error on all the trains.But when I check the vy.no website there’s still plenty of seats available. Is calling the only option here? I prefer anything else because of the international calling charges.Thanks for any answers to this!!

I want to go from hamburg altona to copenhagen on 21st july (seat reservation required on interrail website).On interrail website seat reservations are not possible to make because of errors so i tried on DB website but i saw this type of error on db site:booking via www.bahn.de is not available for this connection. This is most often the case when it comes to regional trains, short distance trains or trains with a reservation obligation

Travelling to Paris to Berlin in September with wife. We have Eurail Global Pass ‘15 days in 2 months’.Reserved seats at Eurail. At time of reservation, I could only reserve the journey leg from Paris to Frankfurt but not Frankfurt to Berlin leg of journey. Change over at Frankfurt HBF is 20 minutes and that at Erfurt HBF is 27 minutes. Eurail charges €8 seat reservation fee per passenger for Frankfurt to Erfurt, and another €8 per passenger for Erfurt to Berlin. I understand European trains are not always on time. I read that if you have a single booking from point A to B, you missed a connection due to train delay you are able to catch the next train by just getting on the train. However, say if you bought the a ticket from Paris to Frankfurt with Eurail (my case Eurail got the reservations via Belgium National Rail) and Frankfurt to Berlin with another company (not Eurail or Belgium Rail) you have to pay for the Frankfurt to Berlin ticket agin.Questions:Is there enough time for chan

How can i make seat reservations in sweden without paying full price for normal ticket?I tried a promo code from generator and its nor working

I would like to travel from Frankfurt to Marseille on 04 July at 06:56. In the DB app I can find the following connection: 06:56 Frankfurt - 08:48 Strasbourg - 09:03 Strasbourg - 15:06 Marseille. However, the Interrail app only shows me a connection via Paris, where the train from Paris to Marseille is fully booked. The first train of the connection via Paris is the same as via Strasbourg (06:56 Frankfurt). The next connection to Marseille would not be until 19:00 in Marseille....Even if I take the train to Paris, there would be a couple of high-speed trains (TGV) that run later but are not displayed in the Interrail app. So my question is, can I use the connection via Strasbourg even if it is not shown in the app or reserve a seat for this connection? And if so, how do I add it to my trip in the app if the connection is not shown to me in the Interrail app?

hi i had a question i ordered an interail pass this morning but never received an email about it how is this possible because my money has been written off from my bank greetings joeri 

Hi there, we are planning to take a trip around Europe in September and we were thinking of booking 6-berth sleepers. We are 6 adults and 1 child that is 4 years old. He can share a bed with his mom but I wanted to know if it is possible to book for all of us or if the child doesn’t have to book taking into account he is sharing the bed. We plan to take these trains:EN40465 - EuroNight from Zurich to Ljubljana EN476 - EuroNight from Budapest to KrakowOnline I’m not allowed to book for more than 6 pax and I wanted to know if I have to add the child to the reservation even though he will share the bed. Thank you in advance!
