Get ready to travel

Hello, I`m traveling with my son and got to passes in my app. Our first travel day was canceled because of train delays caused by strike and we hade to fly to our destination. Now I got one used travelday on my trip but on on my sons trip in the app. Thats because I activated my trip and travelday before I discovered that the we couldn't travel with it, but not my sons pass, he's pass is still not used. Can this give me problem when we are going home by train? Summed up: I've got one used travel day and he's got non? (I've got 3 days left and he's got his four.) Grateful for help/Malin 

I am wanting to go from Split, Croatia to Vienna, Austria in August. But when booking, only a paper pass is available but it will not get here on time. What can I do? I am needing a mobile pass / pass sent to email.

Hey folks! It’s my first time purchasing a Eurail pass so I want to be sure I’m doing this correctly. I’ll be driving around with a friend in England and Brussels where my solo travel begins. From Brussels I want to use the pass to take the train to Amsterdam, and then several other places next (Brussels> Amsterdam> Berlin> Cologne> Luxembourg City> Paris). So my question is, when booking the Eurail pass do a select my first city as Amsterdam since it’s my first destination, or do I select Brussels as my starting location? I appreciate the help! I also read something about the inbound/outbound trips; can anyone elaborate? Lastly, since this is my first trip, if anyone has some broad pointers or insider tips to share, I totally welcome them! 

Hi everyone, I tried booking seat reservations for the tgv from Paris to Strasbourg on the day the  tickets were released but the train I wanted was sold out straight away!. I called scnf and the lady said I can buy first class reservations, which I did as I was worried we'd get stuck otherwise. But now I'm worried we will have problems on the train as our passes are second class. She said this is no problem as the reservation is an upgrade but it would put my mind at ease if anyone could confirm this is okay?

Hey! I am messaging you because I have a question regarding he FlexPass.I want to go to Italy this summer and I found 2 very good suggested traveling plans on the app with just one transfering. But the first one departures at 5pm from Hungary and 7 days after the other train departures at 10pm from Italy. Is it still possible to use the Pass at that time?Looking forward to hear from you :)Andi

I have been wanting to book the high speed Florence - Milan train in August but they do not seem to be running after the 6th. Does anyone know if there planned engineering works affecting this line? I have tried to find out but thought I would ask on here as I’ve not had much luck.

I purchased a senior 1st class global pass. When I planned my trip from Zurich Airport to Grindelwald, the trip from Zurich Airport to Interlaken Ost is covered, but the train from Interlaken Ost to Grindelwald is not included in the pass, which I can still add it to my trip. Can I pay and buy the ticket from Interlaken Ost to Grindelwald at the Frankfurt Flughafen station or should I buy it only after arriving at Interlaken Ost? 

Family 4. Planning to go to Amsterdam, Paris, Barcelona, Rome starting from Kaiserslautern, Germany. How many days of Global Pass or Interrail pass should I get? We want to travel by train or bus. Thank you. 

I am traveling to Germany from Jun 1 to Jun 8. Arriving in Berlin for 2 nights, then on to Dresden for 1 night, Munich for 2 nights and finally Frankfurt for 2 nights. During my stay I want to be able to get around the cities to visit various places. I was thinking I needed a 7-day consecutive pass but the eurail site said I only needed 4. Can someone help me understand what I need? In Switzerland I can just buy a Swiss Travel pass and its good for all modes of transportation (train, bus, boat).

Hi My partner and I have bought rail passes through Eurail ; and are using it for our trip through Spain All of our trips are on fast trains and need to apparently book seat reservations ASAP ; however we live in Australia and cannot get to a Spanish train station to make the seat reservations How do we going about reserving seats for the trips ? We have the eurail planner app and we have both marked our trips out and and attached to our eurail passes on the app , but I assume that doesn’t mean that we have a guaranteed spot on the train Any help would be greatly appreciated Thankyou very much

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.

Hi. I need some helps here.I am travelling to Europe in Nov. My destination as below:21/11 - 23/11 → Rome23/11 - 25/11 → Florence25/11 - 28/11 → Milan28/11 - 29/11 → Zermatt29/11 - 1/12 → Zurich1/12 - 4/12 → Frankfurt4/12 - 7/12 → Paris (where 1 will be spending 1 day in disney)7/12 - 9/12 → Brussel9/12 - 11/12 → Amsterdam I wonder how many days ticket i should purchase. 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?
