Get ready to travel

HelloApologies if I should have found the answer to this question with more looking, but ….I know that with some rail passes that they cannot be used on weekdays before 09:30.Are eurail passes in this category or can they be used anytime?Thanks

I have the 4 day Eurail Global Pass. I was wondering what a travel day is considered. For example, is it unlimited 1 travel day the day of April 25th or is it unlimited travel from the time you use the global pass like if I use it at 12pm on the 2nd of May then I can use it before 12pm on May 3rd and that would be considered 1 travel day?

I bought a first class Eurail Global Pass and booked and paid for a first class reservation/seat. My ticket has turned up and it is a standard seat. Not standard premier. What do I do to correct this? 

Hi, family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children--9 and 11) traveling from France to Sweden from July 26- August 8.  This is a dream trip for us, especially our son who LOVES trains!  We’re first time Interrail users, and trying to understand how to reserve seats.  There are no seats showing up for the trips and dates we’re looking for.  What do we do next?  Help and advice appreciated

 Can I start from one station, travel to another station a couple of hours away, spend a few hours in that place and then return by train to another station that was on the first route - and do this as one day of travel? And if you can do this , how and when do you load up the two journeys? Thank you.

Bonjour,Est-ce quelqu'un peut m'expliquer s'il faut indiquer sa ville de départ ou s'il faut indiquer juste les déplacements dans le pays qu'on souhaite visiter?Parce que cela rajoute d’office 2 trajets. Merci !

Hi! I have a question about booking seats together when we have different passes. My friend has 7 days in 1 month, I want to buy 10 days in 2 months. We will travel separately for a few days, but then together in France and the Netherlands, where we need reservations. How do we get those reservations to be next to each other? Thanks!

We bought 2 senior 15 day flexible Eurail passes and started using them on 19th of April. Now it's saying they've expired after using on 2 days only. How can we fix this?

I would like to book onto the Antibe - Paris 06.17am train in early August. The Interrail booking system says ‘pass not valid’. Is it possible to pay a supplement to board this train? If I don’t board the early train I won’t make it home to the U.K. in my last travel day.Many thanks.

Hello :)I know that I need a reservation for most of the nighttrains. Do I need a seat reservation on day , too? And how do I regonize? For example I want to drive from Stockholm to Kopenhaven. Is it possible to get in every train without reservation and in case of no free seat sit on the floor? Actually I bought the interrail pass to move freely. Didnt know you have to reservate a lot of trains month before 😅 Thanks you guys :)) 

This is my first time booking a train Eurail pass in France. When I tried to make a seat reservation for the trains that I wanted, it did not allow me to book a seat and said that one part of the train was not available. However, when I looked on www.sncf.com, it said that there were 10 seats available. This is my first time in France and I really need to get seats on these two trains as I have a presentation at beasancon at 4:00 pm. Would it be possible for you to help me with this reservation? If I go to the train station in the morning, would it be possible to make the seat reservation using machine ? or alternative options 

I’m trying to book Eurostar tickets for August.  The timetable comes up but when I click on the journey nothing happens - it just doesn’t seem to activate in order to proceed with the reservation. Any tips?  I’ve just bought my pass and not been interrailing before so I’m new to this.

I will hopefully travelling from the UK to Spain over summer, one way (flying home). I am buying a 4 day pass as it will take 3 days to get there. I will need to get a train down to Euston from Manchester and then the Eurostar from St Pancras. To get out of the UK, will the pass cover the Manchester to Euston leg AND the St Pancras to Paris leg or just the St Pancras to Paris leg?many thanks 

Hi Everyone, CAN I USE EURAIL GLOBAL PASS FOR TRAIN FROM PARIS TO Lucerne?

Hello everyone,my question is, if I booked a train that doesn’t have “seat reservation required” written on the eurrail app, is it also recommended to book a seat or I will risk standing in the train? its a train from amsterdam to salzburg with 2 changes in Germany on tuesdayplease advise if you are sureThanks in advance 

I have tried multiple times on several different devices to purchase two seat reservations from Paris to Nice and vice versa and every time i get to the point to proceed to payment it says one of the legs of this trip is no longer available even when attempting to purchase one portion! Ive had others try to purchase the same times that show as AVAILABLE on their device and keep getting the same error. So there is no way of knowing if the seat is available or not! How do I proceed?

Hi, I have a question related to ticket reservations. We want to go from Barcelona to Paris by TGV, and then from Paris to Mannheim in ICE, all in august. When I try to make the reservations the interrail app says "You can book this trip 90 days in advance". And it does'nt show any way to make the reservation. So I understand that I can not book the tickets until first of may, right? I have received an email from Interrail web insisted me on make the reservation that now I'm worried about running out of reserves. But I guess I have to wait until may, is that correct?

Hi I try to do db reservations  from paris est to strasbourg on22/7. But db Don't accept  . Also I Don't understand  the highlight below, (i bought  global pass), someone pls advice. Tq 

I’m really confused about how to move forward.  I’m trying to get 4 people (myself and 3 others) all with Eurail passes on ICE 27 on 23rd July but it keeps giving me this error and I cannot book seats.  Is there a way to book Direct with DB.  I’ve tried it but I cannot get to a screen that allows me to enter the Eurail passes so I don’t have to pay for the whole journey.  The Eurail passes are for first class travel for four times in a month.  So far I have only had success at booking one of my trips.  Any help appreciated.

I am trying to book seat reservations for myself and a group of friends (6 including me) for a journey going from Budapest to Venice (you end up having to go to Wein then back to Venice). This is a part of a larger trip we are taking around Europe.When I book it says this leg of the journey is unavailable please try a different, so I look up this error and find out it may be because there are 6 people in our “trip” I’ve set up.I was wondering if it would be possible to link my pass to two “trips”: one for “trip” of 6 people which is to be used for the majority of journeys taken between countries and another for the one journey where we need to potentially split into two groups in order to be able to book seat reservations. We each have our own passes.

Hi I have a question, I want to get reservation for 10:45 KRAKOW GLOWNY (Poland) to 17:48PRAGUE HLAVNI NADRAZI (Czech Republic). where can I get it?  Thx.

Me and my 3 friends are going interrailing for the month of a July. I went online there to reserve our train tickets but mostly all of the trains say “prices unavailable” as it is possible that all pass holder seats are sold out. If a train requires a seat reservation will we still be able to board without paying for the reservation, will our interrailing ticket cover us? We are aware we would possibly be left with no seat but this does not bother us as we just want to ensure we get onto the train. It says on the websight to try booking a train reservation ticket at the train station but being honest we don’t want to rely on that as we are 4 young girls and we do not want to wait until the day to find out if we will be able to board the train or not as it could be sold out on the day as we are going at peak time and we do not want to be stuck in a foreign country we don’t know our surroundings in. So since it won’t allow me to reserve tickets as it’s saying prices unavailable will we s
