Get ready to travel

I need to make seat reservation from Barcelona to Madrid and from Madrid to Barcelona in advance Not at the ticket office (Subject to availability) as per the eurial app If this is not an option can I make the seat reservation at the ticket office one day before the travel ? Thanks 

I have a question about the trenitalia railpass.I need some clarification about the word “journey” since the pass counts the numbers of journeys and not days.I am planning a Veniz- Palermo trip. which will have a Veniz to Rome via the high speed train and then night train for the Rome-Palermo leg.Is the total journey gonna be 1 (Veniz-Palermo) or 2 (Veniz- Rome and Rome-Palermo)? Thanks.

For the train from London do you have to book a train through the Eurostar site and then separately pay for a seat through the eurail app?  I am going to Brussels and am confused.  It seems for the other countries in my trip that maybe I can just buy a 3 day pass to cover my trips from Brussels to cologne,  cologne to frankfurt, and frankfurt to Paris.  But can I just add a 4th day for my London to Brussels train and then just pay for seat reservation and I am set or do I need to pay separately on Eurostars site for train pass (which is ver expensive compared to just adding a 4th day to my eurail pass) and then pay on the eurial app for the seat reservation.

I noticed that some Eurocity between Italy and Switzerland are not visible in the Interrail planner app (for instance, EC 50 and EC 54 MIlano-Basel). The other three connections of the day are visible. One can still reserve the seats (e.g. from the Interrail reservation system, but the interrail ticket cannot be activated) . Interestingly, if one looks at the national legs of those trains (Milano-Domodossola and Brig-Basel) they become visible, but the international ones are not.Have others had similar experiences? Can one just add the trip manually, or will the controller object, because those trains are not supposed to be used by Interrailers (even if the seats are reserved) ?It seems that Zurich trains are all visible, but Geneva and Basel ones are limited.

First time traveller and a little confused! My initial understanding was that the Eurail global pass would cover my travel throughout Europe EXCEPT for Switzerland (where I thought I’d have to buy the Swiss travel pass separately). But upon research, it seems that I am able to travel within Switzerland with the global pass, but want to confirm. I’m going to post my itinerary below (June 11-24). My overall question is - will the EUrail global pass work for travel between these destinations? Rome → Zurich → Lucerne → Interlaken → Bern → Cologne → Amsterdam → Brussels → Paris Thank you so much! 

Hi  I got to know how regional trains save our money . Do we have such options to book from Milano to Venice( reservation free )  and other places ? it showed me 15Euros to book seats . If seat reservation mandatory I need to book on oebb.com to avoid booking fees or any other websites ?

Does anyone know if the Global Eurail pass gets you a discount on ferries from Ibiza to Barcalona and where I would book the ferry? 

I am traveling from Utrecht to Basel this summer and it says that I'm ready to board since seat reservation is not required. However, I cannot book any seat since they are sold out. Can I still enter the train? 

Hi,Can you guide me if I have to cover Mt.titlis trip(Luzern-Engelberg)  and take train to Milano same day (Preferably post 5pm  ? (June 7th) I tried to look at train connections on both Euro rail planner & Sbb. Train timings are completely different (Some train has 3 changed on Euro rail app and showing 24mins transfer ) where as Sbb shows 1 train change and 4 mins transfer time. we are 9 people . can you suggest train timings considering elders and children ? Thanks in advance!   

Can we use the Eurail Global Pass to get only tickets reservations in the Goldenpass Express? I’ll be taking this route june 13, and the site gives two options for reductions: own ticket or only reservation, and i don’t know which one includes the eurail global pass. 

You must purchase passes before you are able to reserve seats.  When we purchased passes, we were shown many options for train times from London to Paris on 5/30.  Now that we have activated our passes to make seat reservations, there are ZERO available trains or seats from London to Paris on 5/30 or the surrounding days.  Very frustrated we couldn’t see that those trains were not available prior to purchasing.  Does anyone know how to locate available trains from London to Paris?  Thanks so much~

Hi there,After searching these forums for quite some time, I did find questions related to mine, but I still do not know what to do.I will be travelling in and out of my country (The Netherlands) twice in the two months that I will use my Interraill pass. The Interrail out- and inbound journeys are clear, but this is about the second out- and inbound journey.My wife, two kids and me will take the ICE from Utrecht towards Mönchengladbach (and change there). My kids travel for free in the Netherlands with their OV Chipkaart and my wife and I have no discount whatsoever. What ticket do we buy in the Netherlands and how to we make the registration in the app? Do I buy tickets from Utrecht to Venlo? To Kaldenkirchen (where it will not stop)? To Mönchengladbach?It seems logical that the answer to that question will dictate what part I register in the app for interrail travel, but is that really true?And how do we do the same for our return journey? We will be on a Dusseldorf - Venlo train th

Hi, today I started traveling with Interrail. In the morning everything was okay, but suddenly everything disappeared from the app and there is a description that the Pass is no longer connected. I logged out via my passcode again and in the app I see two trips (my old one and a new one named Trip), in the old one there are three days out of four used and in the new one 1 out of 4 I would like to get back my new one but there is no option to change it and it says that this trip is not connected to my pass. How come that my pass and trip disconnected form each other, is my pass still valid? Please, I would be very grateful if you helped me because I am abroad and I have no idea what to do. 

Hi everyone. My name is Deb and I’m very new to train travel. My husband Steve and I both in our late 50s are travelling from our home in Australia to a wedding in UK  in the June and are planning to tour Europe after that . We have  purchased Global 2 month passes. I am starting to get the hang of everything and got us as far as Berlin with reservations etc !  I am trying to book from Berlin to Krakow and  have read previous posts regarding not being able to reserve seats with DB. My question regards the EC57 train on 23/6/2023 at 1052. Is it likely to get fully booked  if I can’t reserve seats until we are in Europe and  if it is what the best alternative way of doing  the trip on that date.  Would really appreciate advice… ( took a lot of persuasion to get my husband to travel this way  so I want it to go as smoothly as possible haha)

It looks like Trenitalia have increased the price of Frecce reservations from €10 to €13. ÖBB now mention €13 for most Frecce, although some (still?) appear for €10.Italiarail still show €10, but if you then you continue to book, it will change to €13. Seat61 has also changed the price to €13 on most of the pages, so I guess it has really changed.Intercity reservations in Italy seem to remain at €3.EC reservations from/to Switzerland seem to remain at €11/€13.

With the global pass, is it mandatory to use one travel day to leave the country and one to return?Can I return from my trip by plane if I have used up the 7 available travel days?

Hello,my residency is in Leipzig, Germany. Here is my itinerary:24.05.2023 Leipzig to Zürich26.05.2023 Zürich to Innsbruck to Leipzig (I want to spend some hours in Innsbruck and then travel back to Leipzig, but I have to transit in München, Germany during my trip from Innsbruck to Leipzig). Would it be possible to use the ticket as an inbound journey? can I use my ticket from München to Leipzig?thank you  

 do I have to activate the pass already even if I want to leave in 2024 but I'm not sure the date?  What if you activate it but can't start?

I’m organising the trip that I’ll do in the mid in July with the interrail pass. I didn’t understand well how the booking works. Can I book all the tickets (also the one with reservation seats)  in the interrail app? Or is it not a reliable? Because I’ve read some comments that said that it is better to make the reservation with other apps.  

I want to travel from Amsterdam Schiphol to Marseille via the TGV. I want to buy the global pass. Are all fees included or do I still need to pay extra?! I cant seem to find it.

fyi, I’ve contacted both eurail/interrail, and SNCB (b-europe.com) already. Eurail said it’s not their issue to deal with, as it was booked through b-europe, and I’m waiting for a response from b-europe.The issue:I booked a seat reservation on the eurostar, throug b-europe.com. The transaction went through, it appears on my card statement, yet I haven’t received the reservation. I’ve contacted customer service to try and track it down. It's been 7 days since the purchase.My main concern is that the other reservations are sold out for that day already. It’s the last day of my pass, and this was my train back home, so I’m not able to travel a different day instead. Hopefully b-europe can track down the issue. My question is, what are my options if they don’t?I already have travel insurance, and the purchase was on a credit card, so I can pursue this through my bank as well. However, currently I’m going to be kind of stranded with no way to get back. If I had to book a full-price eurostar

Ik heb een Trip gemaakt in de app en heb de link gedeeld met mijn reisgenoten, aangezien zij al pas geactiveerd hadden kunnen zij niet de MyPass koppelen aan deze reis, dus dat betekend dan dat ze dus zelf allemaal dezelfde reis gegevens moeten toevoegen.Er wordt aangegeven dat dit niet kan, maar is het niet mogelijk om de (tijdelijk)  MyPass te deactiveren via de App en dan de hier aan “lege” Trip te verwijderen en juiste (gevulde) Trip weer aan MyPass te koppelen en dan weer te activeren?

Hi, so my friend and I are traveling to the greek islands next week and have just received our 4-day paper-passes. We are trying to fill it out correctly, but we are confused by the line about inbound and outbound travels. As far as I have understood, those are the trips you take to and from your country of residence. But we will only be using our pass in Greece, and therefore wont be traveling in our home country, so are we just supposed to leave the space blank?  

Hello. I am traveling in 24 hours, and I have not activated my pass yet. I just checked my pass, and it says that my birthday is one day off. What should I do. I filled out a form regarding my issue. Should I activate my pass and go on the trip?
