Get ready to travel

Hello.We are finalizing our travel itinerary to Amsterdam, then the UK.  We propose to travel from Amsterdam to London via Thalys then Eurostar in the early fall of this year.  We have bought our mobile Global Flex Pass, and have started exploring our train options, although we have not downloaded the app or activated our pass. I have held off on making reservations as,the way I understand the Eurail policy on passes, we need to have our itinerary pretty much set as we will not get any refund on partially used and activated passes. While i understand that once we have our itinerary about set, we should make reservations on high-speed rail travel.  How long can I wait until I make reservations on these “fixed” journeys? We are about 80% set about this leg of the journey,and would prefer not to make too many modifications to the reservations.  How difficult is it to modify a reservation this far in advance on high-speed train journeys?  Are there “travel insurance” that would cover modif

I’m looking to travel from Zurich to Chur on 9/16/23 but all of the trains are showing that no reservations are available. Is that possible this far out? 

Hello everyone, I have a reservation from London St Pancras to Amsterdam (11:04, 7th August). Is there anything stopping me getting off in Brussels instead of Amsterdam?  Thank you in advance.

Hi there, I’m travelling pretty soon, going from London St. Pancras to Paris Nord and then getting a connection from Paris Est to Strasbourg on the same day. I will have about 40 mins to catch the train to Strasbourg, which (in theory) should be sufficient. As a reservation was required however, I am a little concerned about the options I would have, if the Eurostar was running late and I was to miss the connecting train. Will I be able to simply catch the next train or would I need to speak to the staff at the station first and validate my ticket for the next connection? If so, is the validation dependant on anything (e.g. seat availability for interrrail users? Would there be an additional charge for this?

Hi, I am trying to book Bologna to Innsbruck but get the message ‘No price results were found. Pass holder reservations may be sold out for this connection’  for all trains on the day I need. Does this mean I can still board without a reservation, or does it mean there are no more spaces available for interrail card holders? I need to travel on the day specified to make other connections. My other option is to pay for a regular ticket separately, which I see I am able to do direct with the train company, but this seems unfair as I have paid for an interrail card. Thank you, Teresa

Hi,I live in the UK and am intending to catch the Harwich-Hoek van Holland ferry. The night ferries are full on the days I want to travel so I intend to stay overnight in Harwich and catch the day ferry instead. Is that permitted? There would be no UK train travel on the second day, but equally I wouldn’t actually be leaving the UK on my “outward” day - just travelling to the port.  

I can not book a reservation on the train warszawa to vilnius because there is none available anymore. What happens if I get on the train anyway? I have a global pass.

Can I put my pass on my and on my wife’s device if something happens? I am going to activate my pass on my own mobile but if it is broken or stolen I still have my pass on my wife’s mobile. If this should happen can then my wife show and use my pass?

I’m not EU citizen. This time I go to Zermatt and after travel by train to Austria and back to Zurich. Does Eurail global pass covers train to Zermatt from Zurich and back ?

Hi Interrail communityMy girlfriend and I are going on Interrail for the first time this summer. We will travel by the night train from Zagreb to Split (departure: 22:30 10th of august). We would like to book two beds in a couchette car but that does not seem possible at Interrail.eu? Only seat reservation seems to be available but if we check https://www.hzpp.hr/en it seems like the couchette cars are not sold out. Is it possible to book two beds in a couchette car beforehand somewhere else or is it only possible to book this at the train station in Zagreb?Thank you in advance for answers!/Frederik

Why is credit card information requested for a reservation using Eurail pass?  Is it for the reservation fee?

So, the 3rd of july i’m taking a train directly from Berlin to Gdańsk in Poland. I found the tickets on the Eurail app, but whenever i want to buy the tickets, i have to type in the name of my accommodation/hotel name/ hostel name and it also says that it’s a paper ticket. Does that mean that they are shipping the tickets or do i get the tickets by email and then i have to print them myself?? 

Hey guys,I want to use the greek island pass for 4 days. But I’m not sure about the conditions. Are the two ferry comanys included or only 30% off? Aaaand the other question for safety: do I need to start in Pireaus or can I start also in santorino or rhodos? I found some articels but I’m not 100% sure about all of this.Thanks for your help <3

Hi,I was wondering if there is any way to travel from Tallin to Warsaw with the interrail ticket, because I couldn't find any train connection.

Hello,so my problem is that I cant reserve any seats between the 1-11 of August, despite the validity period of my pass starting on the 1st of August. Any reservation on the 12th or later is possible. I tried reactivating my pass multiple times to no avail. I always get the message: “Your Pass isn't valid on this date”.I hope anyone can help me, as not even the support seems willing to help (They just say my pass-number isnt even in their system) 

How do I add the first two Journeys (20th June) to my pass so it's only using up one of my travel days? Will I be able to tick both journeys without using up two travel days? Thanks for your help! Tom ​​​​

Im having issues with completing a reservation, it appears that the website at different times keeps showing availability for an intercity train journey monterosso to milan centrale.this shows on the website reservations page both as a 1017 train, and as a 1255 option.But for both when I try to add to cart and then checkout, it wont go through on the checkout page. When i click accept terms of the fare, i eventually then get a red error message one of the legs cant be completed.Other routes seem to complete  but at checkout ask for additional traveller information this route seems to not ask for (i wonder if this is why it bounces at checkout) of country and place of birth. But im keen to have only 2 transfers rather than 3 if possibleIs there a way to confirm if this route  is available to checkout or why an error appears?Example of route (in this case IC 666 is the one I’m attempting to book)Travel date 11/9/23 10:03RIOMAGGIORE (Italy)0h 14mRE 22910RegionalShow facilitiesYou're ready

Hi! I’m looking forward to my first Interrail (15 day Global Pass), starting June 26th. I was hoping to take the Euronight Metropol train from Budapest to Prague on July 1st in the afternoon, arriving at Prague on July 2nd at morning. I’ve been looking how to make a seat reservation, yet I can’t find any way to avoid a postal seat reservation. (Booking through the Hungarian page doesn’t offer seat reservations, and same thing for the Czech page).I will be in Vienna, Austria from June 28th until June 30th, but I don’t trust the seat reservation arriving in time. But if I book at the Budapest station on July 1st at morning, I feel like the train is going to be full, what can I do? Shall I book it in Budapest or risk it with the postal seat reservation, or is the another way around it? 

Hi :)I’m trying to make a seat reservations for a journey in italy on oebb.at but it says ticket not available… The journey is IC1517 Bologna Centrale to Firenze Campo di Marte, 16:41 on 30/07.
