Get ready to travel

Hola! Soy chileno, y vivo hace un par de meses en Madrid con visado de estudiante de larga duración, pero el visado de estudiante califica como “estancia” y no como “residencia” española, entonces no sé que pase puedo usar. 

I guess made a mistake in Purchasing Eurail Global Pass (for a family of 4 including 2 kids of 6 & 9 years age)I was already on a TIGHT BUDGET :’(Anyways, I purchased a 15 Days Pass (not activated yet) that I thought will work for 2 months, but I just came to know that it works for a month (straight with no breaks??) and a 2-month flexible pass is separate.So if I cancel this pass now for a refund and get a new 15 day flexible pass, I will have to pay an extra amount as follows:Loss when canceling & getting a refund on the previous pass - $154 Additional amount to be paid when purchasing a new 15 days flexible pass - $262 Total additional amount to be paid - $422In case I don’t cancel the existing pass and do the additional journeys without a pass, the following two options exist:Option 1 - Journeys without Pass (depends on … if I activate the pass on 23rd June & it deactivates on 8th July)Paris to Annemasse on 18th JuneOption 2 - Journeys without Pass (if I activate the Pa

I need to know if the fee for the seat reservation is the same in the 1st class and the 2nd class, cause I want to reserve de 1st class pack, but i don’t know if the reservation seat fee is the same in both classes for example: in the app, the fee for Paris to Amsterdam is 34 euros, my question is: if I buy the 1st class pack, the fee for seat reservation will be 34 too??  thanks 

I am planning a trip to Italy and then on to Paris. We are from Canada and this is our first trip like this overseas. We are flying into Rome staying 2 days and then from there were going to take the train to Florence, Vienna, Milan and then onto Paris. I was told I would need to get an EUrail pass. Is this the right pass or is there a better one to get ?  I was thinking of the 10 days for a month ,if that is the right rail pass to buy would that be enough? In Italy we will be spending about 2 days in each city( we don’t a much of an agenda for the last 3 cities in Italy we just want to explore and see what we can) and then finishing out our trip in Paris with about 10-11 days there( we have an agenda planned for Paris .( I  know that I need a different pass for the metro in Paris which I will have to get there) I did notice that the train to Paris from Milan show 2 ways and one is though Switzerland, we want to see the country and thought this would be a nice way to go if we can  Do I

Family of 4 - just purchased 10 day / 2 month passes 1st class. After considerable time trying to understand how to use app have just attempted to book a high speed train from Paris - Venice or Verona on Aug. 16 though nothing appears available - even in the surrounding days . I have looked via various rail sites/apps also. Is extremely frustrating . My question is , are these high speed trains yet to be schedule released - or are they actually sold out. And if they are sold out - will I assume the alternate trains  (slower / 9 hours ) which can’t have seats reserved will be extremely busy so can’t guarantee a seat? Appreciate advice. Thanks 

How would I get my family through a ticket barrier with Interrail, if all our tickets are on one phone and we cannot speak the language of the country that we are in?

Hi! I can’t find any way to make a reservation for Hamburg - Stockholm night train. I checked different dates in case it’s sold out, but I can’t reserve in March, April, or August.The date I want to travel : August 16th.Train: it’s a night train, I think it is called EuroNight.Operator: if I’m not wrong, OBB.I also checked OBB’s website, it says Ticket not available to purchase - or similar.I feel you need a PhD to book trains crossing borders haha!Anyone has any idea for me to be able to book this train? All help will be much appreciated! Also really interested in knowing if I can avoid or lower reservation fees by calling somewhere or booking at an operator site.Kindly,Xavier from Barcelona Interrail Reservation doesn’t allow to bookOBB reservation doesn’t allow to book

Hello there, I was just wondering if the global pass covers all trains in Bulgaria as I am attending a film scoring camp there in July. Does it also cover the trains from Bulgaria to Bucharest, as well as over night train from Bucharest to BudapestAdditionally, what high speed trains does the global pass cover, especially in austria and germany? I am planning on taking a high speed one from berlin to vienna June 29 for overnight in Vienna from Berlin, and wanted to make sure i would not have to pay any extra fees

Can I use Eurail Italy (one country pass) pass to travel from Zurich Switzerland to Venice Italy?

I am contacting the Eurail Global Pass Helpdesk while providing details of my Global Pass, but I am receiving the same reply again and again. I have even copy pasted everything from the email (even my order Number) I received at the time of order, but still the same reply. Here is what I received in the email (I purchased 2 adults & 2 children Eurail Global Pass): Traveller name Pass number xxxxxxxxxx XXXXXX Pass title Pass validity Eurail Global Pass Child 15 days Travel category Class Child 2 Sales condition Activate by date Refundable 2 May 2024      Hi xxxxxxxx,Unfortunately, the mobile pass number you provided could not be found in our system.

Hello Miss, Sir,My name is Raphael Mbeleck and I report a problem. Indeed during my purchase procedure for seat reservation. I was told that I had to pay for an Interrail pass first which I did on the website via my account. After booking my seats on the website, I noticed that I had to activate my pass via the app. What I did. The problem is that when I go to the application none of my reservations are displayed while on my Internet account all my reservations are there. Is this a problem for my journey because the places I paid are linked to the hotel I paid for.

I've read on the Facebook forum that passes bought during the anniversary sale now have a two-month ‘grace period’  For example, a pass that needed to be activated on the 11th of May, is now valid until 11th July.  Is this true? If true, will this effect my ability to exchange my ticket?  I've been advised that I can exchange my ticket (because it wasn't activated by the cut off date) if I purchase another ticket of the same value # before the cut off date#  Does the new date count? Hope this makes sense, Thanks

So we had a ferry scheduled from igoumenitsa to Ancona on the 5th of June, and have seat reservations back home all brought from Ancona to London. However Supperfast ferries threw a spanner in the works this evening by messaging us to let us know the Ferry is no longer stopping at Igmoumentsa, after spaking with them they advised us that we have to leave the day before or the day after, Our interrail pass will run out before we got home to London if we leave the day after, and we are unable to leave the day before because of work. Instead we are looking at getting the Ferry to Bari, which is fine, although we will require a different set of seat reservations from Bari to London.We want to know if seat reservations are refundable? and if so how it works? I can just see on my Interrail account you have to click a button and interrail will ask the train company if we get a refund. But that;s a bit problematic, as we might find out that we don’t get a refund and in that case we would try a

helloI bought a non-consecutive 5-day Eurail pass.I am trying to pay for a train ticket that requires a separate reservation in the cart, but the ‘Continue with traveler information’ button is not pressed and it does not move to the next page.I can‘t even try it on your phone and computer.All necessary information was entered, and no tickets were sold out. Why is that? please solve it soon

I have purchased a 15 day Eurail Global Pass (4 persons, 2 adults, 2 kids), that I intend to use during my upcoming trip to Europe starting next week (arriving on 14th June in France). I have added the pass in the Rail Planner app and have also added most of my planned journeys in a “Trip” (but have not linked the Trip to the Global Pass, with a fear of activating/wasting the days too early, as I don’t know how it works).This is my first trip to Europe (visiting France, Switzerland, Italy, Netherlands (via night stay at Munich) and Denmark) so have a couple of basic queries regarding the use of my Pass:Can I link my Trip to Global Pass on the app even now (without activating the pass), when my first journey by train is on 18th June to Switzerland? How (& when) the app will deduct my first (& subsequent) day off the Pass? I mean when I link the Pass to the trip OR when I scan the QR Code when boarding the train OR is there another way? If I buy any tickets from individual railwa

Hi, I’m trying to book seat reservations for two travelers from Marseille to Barcelona on July 10th, using the Eurail pass. I am given options when I search however when clicking on the options the price will disappear and I am unable to add the reservation to my cart. Other options remain available, but when attempting to pay will say “one of the less of your journey cannot be booked.” Wondering if there are any other options I can take to book these tickets.  

Hello everyone,So, I’m having great trouble reserving a sleeper cabin on the GWR Night Riviera Sleeper. From the GWR website the reservation with an interrail ticket can’t be made. I called them up and they said that by phone they won’t book them anymore either (apparently this has been like this since a few months - they had trouble with mismatching passes).The main SBB station in Berne can’t book reservations anymore for most train companies in the UK either and the interrail website, when working, tells me that it can’t be booked through them either.On the phone GWR advised me to book directly from a station in the UK, however I fear that by the time I’m there there likely won’t be a cabin anymore.I believe it might be possible to have a friend in the UK book the reservation for me, but surely there must be some way that it can be done from abroad? Would it be possible to buy a regular ticket and have the ticket fee reimbursed?I’m sure someone has done similar and I hope there is a

I have (already) bought a Eurail Global Pass for my upcoming trip to Italy (coming first time to Europe with my family including 2 kids). Budget is my BIG concern & I want to take full benefit of this pass (for cheap travel wherever possible).I am generally managing well (budget), however, concerned about traveling to (& within Italy) on this Pass. I have read that this pass is not much friendly in Italy (Tourist Trap etc, but I don’t want to buy another pass for Italy) and supports only Trenitalia and a few small other companies. The major routes that I want to travel (on different days) using this pass include:Switzerland to Rome (first use) - I am planning to reach Tirano, Italy (via Bernina Express) & then travel to Rome from here. However, this plan (using Bernina Express) is not FIXED & can be altered Rome to Florence (second use) Florence to Munich, Germany (third use) Munich to Milan (fourth use)So my questions are:I need help/guidance to find a cheap/free train

Me and six friends are traveling in late June to early July- When trying to book seat reservations it says prices unavailable on the site, mainly the over night trains e.g-Prague to Budapest-Ljubljana > Sevnica to SplitWe are quite stressed as this may be because the seats are booked up and we wont be able to board these trains , however is it possible to go to the station in person a day or a few hours before and book a seat reservation or is this not possible. Please let me know as we are quite stressed about it. Thankyou x

I would like to book a family pass but haven’t done so yet. We will be travelling from the UK on a particular day: and on that day staying in France with friends who will only be able to meet us at the nearest train station at a reasonably early time in the day. Ie.  don’t want to waste time or money buying the Interrail pass before we know exactly which reservations are on offer and whether it suits. I have gone to the generic Eurrail / Interrail help & support page about how you do this but still can’t see how I can look up which seat reservations are available. Nothing comes up when I enter our dates. Help!I would prefer to use a helpful website than download a space and data consuming app. So no app recommendations, please. Queries: I want to know before booking the Eurail pass whether it’s worth buying the first / second class pass. Where can I do that? And see all the available seat reservations for the different travel legs and days, before buying a pass?  I’d like to know i

I want to go by bus from Murjek (Sweden, Norrland) to Kvikkjokk. The provider is Länstraffiken  Norrbotten , which is listed as participating by Interrail (www.interrail.eu/de/plan-your-trip/tips-and-tricks/trains-europe/railway-companies). But I can’t get a ticket: Kvikkjokk is not listed at all, for there is no railway station.

We have the Global Pass, our trips are all added to the pass. Tried to book seat reservation on PE train from Interlaken to Montreux on Eurail reservation page. The video showed very easy booking but not at all like that on their reservation site. Are we missing something?
