Get ready to travel

Hi everyone, I recently had a strange experience while using my Eurail pass for the first time. My friend visited a rail station to reserve tickets for our upcoming travels from Rome to Florence and Monterosso to Milano, and the lady at the counter asked for our pass numbers, stating that we would still be eligible for a discount on these travels. The lady then reserved the tickets for us at a total cost of €35 for two trips and two people. It's worth noting that these two travels are not happening during the four days that we have already reserved. However, I am still unsure whether this is accurate information or whether we can indeed avail of a discount on these travels, even though our passes are already fully reserved for four days. I want to make sure that we are following the correct procedures and not violating any rules or regulations. I contacted Italia Rail regarding this issue, but they advised me to contact Eurail directly for clarification. Has anyone else had a similar e

Hello, on the 31st of July I’m planning to travel from Bordeaux St Jean to Girona (Viajeros). I already made seat reservations, but when looking at dates in May, I see we (2 persons) could travel for cheaper by not taking the TGV from Narbonne to Girona. (The tickets that I already bought indicate that I can cancel without a fee.) We would then travel via Port-Bou. But unfortunately there is no train planning yet for July… Does anyone know a good app to see which trains there are on this day (when the planning is available)? And has anyone experience with the schedules in Spain and if they change often? We would like to save some money, but for us it wouldn’t be worth a 3 hour transfer in Narbonne for example.I know there are quite some questions, but if you can help me (a little bit), I would be greatful :)

Please reply   

Hello, me and my friend thinking of buying a 7 days pass but we are stuck at something. I would be more than glad if somene would help us. We are planning to travel with night trains, the starting destination is poland because thats where we live and we are planning to travel to berlin from poland, then amsterdam, paris, madrid, rome, switzerland and going back to poland once again. When I add these on my plan on the website it says 8 days but we will be only travelling 7 days because of night trains. I am aware that I can seperate these travels but why does it say 8 instead of 7 days because from poland to berlin only one day is counted am i wrong? We are going to be travelling soon please help us. Does that mean that I have to take one of the destinations out?

What does it mean when you see n/a next to 1st class on reservations

Buonasera;sono attualmente impiegato come Macchinista presso le Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane.Tramite accordi internazionali, i dipendenti del Gruppo FS possono richiedere la cosìddetta TIR (Tessera Internazionale di Riduzione), che permette di ottenere sconti in un gran numero di paesi Europei e non.MI chiedevo se in virtù di tale agevolazione, esistesse qualche scontistica o tariffa ridotta per chi è in possesso di tale credenziale. Grazie per l’aiutoUn salutoGianluca Puglielli

Hello! One question: In the web of cd.cz the train from Budapest to Stuttgart shows one transfer in Augsburg (screenshot one) but the Interrail web says it’s direct (second screenshot).   

I am on the trip planner map trying to organize a route from my travel from Dec. 26 to Jan 2. Any dates after December 31, it says invalid date and I can’t figure out why. Can I not book for 2024 yet?

Hello, we are a family of 5 travelling this summer.We need to travel from Rome to Strasbourg on the Saturday12th August.I realise it’s a very long journey but when I had searched previously the route seemed more straightforward than it is showing now.I am assuming it is due to engineering works but don’t know the easiest way to find out. We have an AirBnB booked in Strasbourg so ideally need to arrive at a reasonable hour. I also don’t know what time the Metro starts in Rome in terms of getting to the main station or maybe we can just get a taxi.Any advice very welcome please!

I'm travelling from Istanbul to Florence (via Budapest) and finding booking / reservations on the interrail site quite complicated - especially for the Istanbul - Budapest leg.I've looked at the Bosphorus night train which seems you can only reserve at the train station in Istanbul.  Does anyone have any tips or route reccomendations particularly from Istanbul - Budpest? The route to Sofia or Bucuresti Nord I'm struggling to be able to reserve on the interrail site?Thank you!!

Hi! I have a few questions about reservations, more specifically night trains. I’m planning to take a night train from Warsaw Central to Budapest (IC407), and I’ve found Polrail and Czech Transport websites to book the reservations for a sleeper. The only thing is, that the shipping is so pricey and I’m anxious I won’t get them in time. Is it possible to book a bed or couchette in station in Warsaw Central? I’ll be traveling mid-June. Another question I have, is how is the station reservation booking process? Even for normal seats. Do you just show your Interrail pass and the train you want to take?  This is my first Interrail trip, so I am a bit confused and anxious about reservations!

Hi there,I didn´t have any problems so far. But as from today I am unable to open MY PASS although I am connected to WIFI (I´ve also tried to do it with connecting to my internet-provider).I can open any page I want and I can open the planner, the train-stations and “My trip”  ----  but not MY PASS - please help! Thank you Reinhard

Hello!We are a family of 4 (2 Adults, 2 Youths) and we have booked Eurail “15 day in 2 months” (2nd class) in the Global Mobile pass.I have watched the help video but I still have many unclear things.We 4 will be traveling together all the time. So, I have added all 4 passes to my phone. 1) We will make our first journey from London to Amsterdam on June 22, 2023 on Euro star. This needs a seat reservation that cannot be done on the Mobile App.What is the correct process? Do I make the reservation on the Eurail website and it automatically flows through to the mobile App?2) Secondly, I understand that I have to create 4 trips and link each pass to a trip on its own. In that case, how do I make the 4 reservations at once? Do I have to make reservations one by one for each person?

I’m looking to book seat reservations for a 2am train in July but it’s saying prices unavailable. On the train company’s website it’s also saying ticket unavailable. Does this mean it’s sold out already? Any advice to get around this? Accommodation is already booked for both locations so would like to avoid moving dates or locations if possible. Thanks!

Hi, I’m trying to reserve couple of seats for August 26th but the trenitalia.com site shows “No travel solution found” for that date and route. I thought this is because I was being too early but I see open reservations for September (starting 16th). Also, the direct train (E51) is already sold out for August 19th (week prior to my booking date). So, this is making me anxious now.QuestionsAre there any other websites I can book direct trains for this route? Why am I not able to book August 26th? Is it because August reservations open late?Any tips or help on this is very much appreciated.Thank you!

Is this still an issue up to now? I cannot proceed with the seat reservations. I am trying to book Italy-Paris but I cannot even book it on oebb.

I want to start my trip from Istanbul which is not in my country of residence, and after 7 days of travel I get to France, can I use inbound day to get to my country (Italy) if it means: depart in the afternoon from France, get in an italian city in the same evening and there take a night train to my final destination?Does it matter I don’t activate my pass in Italy?

Just activated my mobile pass and made reservation; what do I show ticket validator? Just my reservation details?

I have the global pass so I have 7 days of travel but I would like to travel 8 days, is it possible that I don't activate one of the 8 trips in my pass? If so, are some paid trips the same price with the pass as without? The pass would then be useless on these journeys, so it would be unnecessary to use travel days for these journeys.For instance, if on your 7 trains 3 are on the same price with and without the pass, why take a 7 travel days pass and not a 4 travel days pass completed with 3 online tickets ?

Good day,  With Eurail passes in hand I’m attempting to obtain reservations for the 10:18 PanoramaExpress (PE 902) from BRIG HAHNOFPLATZ to ST. MORITZ on July 14, 2023.  The Eurail Travel Planner online reads “Seat reservations unavailable”.  On the cell phone app it appears that the schedules are not available this far out.  “Sorry, we can’t find any trains that match your search.” Three possibilities:I’m too early to make this request. I’m too late and the reservations are already fully booked. I need to seek these reservations through another agency.Your advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks….Danke!

I want to travel from barcelona to madrid on the 4th of august with ave 3092. Now you need a seat reservation, but it does say this reservation is not possible via the interrail website, how does this work?
