Get ready to travel

Hello all! I want to go to Budapest for my start of the trip from Edirne but it is shown that I cannot book to Dimitrovgrad (which is the first stop). Does not have the "More Information" option as well, what can I do? Currently out of city so I cannot go and ask.

So have just returned home after 5 weeks in Europe with my daughter using Eurail Global passes. I just want to say THANK YOU for all the amazing help I received for my many questions! I really was stressing before we left as train travel is not a big thing in Australia and it all seemed so daunting. But all went super smoothly and it really was because I felt prepared with all the help I received here. Already planning another trip haha!

Hello everyone, I have some issues on planning my journey. I’d like to have this route: Bucharest(Romania), Tallin(Estonia), Helsinki(Finland), Hamburg(Germany), Prague(Czechia), Belgrade(Serbia) and Suceava(Romania). Unfortunatelly, I don’t know how to properly use the mobile app (since I’m trying Interrail for the first time) and I’d want some help with my request; I can’t find any train or ferry routes available in the Interrail Network. I’m planning to buy the “7 days in one month (Flexi)” pass. Thanks in advance!

On the Rail Planner (Eurail app) I have a Global pass and I’m using 1 trip from London To Paris. I have booked it in the app and I have a QR code for my ticket.   When and where do I reserve seats so my family can sit together? Do I need to go to the station to book? How far out do I need to reserve? Thank you for your help!!! 

I have a ferry pass for the Greek Islands, I want to book my first trip for July but no trip exists on the application. I leave from Piraeus port in Athens and I return any port and no result. How to do ?

During our outbound and inbound trip, can we use multiple trains during the day to exit or enter our country ?For example, for someone from Madrid going to Paris : it’s just “Barcelona - Paris” that is included in the pass or he can do “Madrid - Barcelona” and “Barcelona - Paris” in the same day with the pass ?  

I am sure these questions have been asked before but i couldnt quite find the answers I need.My first trip is from Germany (my home country) to London. Is this already a travel day? I read on the “travel in your own country” site that outbound and inbound journeys are not extra travel days. My second question is if i can travel through Germany during my trip. I am planning on traveling from Paris to the Gardasee. I found a trip with a transition in Munich. Can I take this trip?

Hi We’re exploring options for our trip and are slightly confused as trip options which come up under ‘Rail Europe’ don’t appear as options under the interrail - one of the journeys is TGV but the others aren’t. Has anyone else experienced this and if so can you advise on why and how this happens? Another thing is that we’d reserved seats with Deutsche Bahn for a journey which now no longer exists and they never let us know - so now it looks as if we’ll arrive at 11pm rather than 9pm (with a 9 year old in tow so not best pleased).Happy to provide more details but any general advice to start with would be gratefully received. Thanks 

Is anyone else having problems with the German Bahn website. Every time I try to log in it says “503 Service Unavailable.” Is it just me??

The RailPlanner app (v 30.7.0 on Android) shows contradictory information about seat reserverations in InterCity (IC) trains in France:when searching they are shown as requiring seat reseverations and   https://www.interrail.eu/en/plan-your-trip/reservations/reservations-france says InterCity trains require seat reservertions and on the train itself it is written that reservations are mandatory   But:there were apparently passengers in the IC without any reservation the RailPlanner app shows reservations as optional for ICs in the country information screen (The ¹ there just says “Reservations are mandatory for trains in Normandy.”, which does not apply.) The connection is the IC 4659 from Toulouse to Narbonne.

Also, since Rome, Florence and Milan are within Italy, does it means that i will be using up 1 chance of city to city ticket?Also, any possibility that i can use this pass to travel the Glacier express? How can i go about it?Pls kindly assist as i am very confused in this. I had previously purchased Eurail ticket when in London but it seems like i had wasted the ticket as i am only traveling from London to Edinburgh and some other cities in UK like Manchester, Liverpool, etc. Pls assist! Thanks a millon!

Hi all, I have a 3 month global pass and used my outbound travel to start this journey.I’m coming back to France and probably using my inbound day end of this month.I’d like to then travel again in june and take a brussels to london eurostar.I have read here and there that the app detects that you enter your COR (country of residence) so I’m wondering if my plan will work or not. It would be quite a pity i guess if it were the case. Thanks in advance for your helpful advice!

Hallo ZusammenBin gerade an der Planung für meine Interrail-Tour durch einige osteuropäische Länder. Habe allerdings ein Problem, Sitzplätze für folgende Züge zu reservieren:EC104 Wien Hbf. ab 14.10 - Katovice an 18.46 Uhr am 18.06.23IC 116 Katovice ab 08.13 - Praha Hl. n. an 13.45 Uhr am 21.06.23 Beide Züge konnte ich weder über das Interrail-Tool, noch die Websites der ÖBB und CD buchen. Auch ein Besuch in einem Reisezentrum der SBB vor etwa 2 Wochen brachte mich nicht wirklich weiter. Mir wurde mitgeteilt, dass der Verkauf von Sitzplatzreservationen nach Polen für diesen Zeitraum gesperrt sei.Durch Herumprobieren habe ich bemerkt, dass ich die Züge innerhalb von Österreich und Tschechien ohne Probleme reservieren könnte, nur nach Polen sind die Reservationen für jedes Reisedatum ab dem 11. Juni nicht verfügbar.Weiss jemand, wo genau da das Problem liegt (finden zu jener Zeit irgendwelche Streckensperrungen auf dem polnischen Abschnitt statt)? Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, irgendwie mit

Hello, I bought the 5-day pass to travel with my family from Geneva to Stockholm in mid July. The outward journeys are booked but it's impossible to find return trains, everything is full, I spent hours looking! We can't afford to take trains that will take us more than 30 hours to get home!  I don’t know what to do...I've taken out interrail cancellation insurance and I'd like to know if I use 3 days of travel out of the 5 I bought, can I ask for a refund for the 2 days not used?

Hallo zusammen,ich nutze den Interrail One Country Pass. Kann ich mit einem durchgehenden ICE vom Zielland in mein Heimatland zurückreisen, wenn ich den Interrail Pass nur bis zum Grenzbahnhof nutze und von dort ein eigenes Ticket habe?

We have our passes and we are trying to book seats from Paris to Lucerne.  We can book seats from Paris to Basel but there is not an option to purchase seats from Basel to Lucerne.  I know we change trains in Basel but how do we purchase seats on the Basel to Lucerne segment?  Appreciate your help.

I have the 3 month global Eurail pass, I have read that it includes some ferries, does anyone know how I find out with ferries it includes/excludes and how I apply it to get discounts on the ferries or if I need to be the ferry eurail pass as well? 

How can I change my seat on a train reservation? Because me and my girlfriend have booked some tickets but now we are scattered around the train in all the trips.

Here is my question:Family of 5 with 2 seniors and three young adults 16, 23, 25. June 4, 2023: desire to travel via train from Geneva, Switzerland to Stresa, Italy From what I can tell, the cost for a second class ticket is 442.00 USD for all on the direct train, 2nd class fully flexible. We can leave around 12:00 at the earliest but prefer to get into Stresa Italy the mid-late afternoon to get to the hotel, so avoiding the reservation cost is possible if not excessive time is added. June 6: Stresa, Italy to Verona, Italy somewhere between 107.00 to 158 USD total for Ordinare June 8: Verona, Italy to Trieste, Italy 131.45 USD Ordinare June 10: Possible travel to Slovenia but can take the flix bus for reasonable and shorter. Do you have a recommendation on what type of pass I should use (Eurail Single country Italy, Eurail Global, or individual tickets). If the website such as ‘the train line’ say that there are two seats left, does that mean we will not be able to take that train with

Hi there, do I need paper copy tickets for my reservations for each train I take using my Eurail Pass. Also, if we need hard copies, how long would they take to ship to Australia? Alternatively I can have them shipped to a friend in Holland, how long would this take?

Hi,I really would like to travel from Amsterdam to Nice to see my family but don’t want to take the plane, so the Interrail-card would be perfect for me. I only have some questions regarding the conditions of what the best thing is that I can do. My trip will be on the 11th of June and would consider:Thalys from Amsterdam to Paris, then from Paris Nord to Paris Gare de Lyon RER D and then TGV from Paris Gare de Lyon to Nice Ville.  When I’m buying the Interrail France Pass for 3 days, I can travel through France for 3 days. I know I have to reserve the TGV (and the Thalys) and pay extra for this but my question is the following:Can I use the card already in Amsterdam since I’m travelling with the Thalys or does the card only hold in France and not if I’m travelling from another country to France with a France train?And another question you might help me with is: Is this the smartest option to take? I just want to visit family in Nice and am living in Amsterdam. What should I do? Thank
