Get ready to travel

I want to book 2 reserved seats on the 11:50 am trainOR 1661 on 9 October from Bucharest to Iasi in Romania. I have been unable to book these seats on either the app or the DB website. I must travel on this day to meet up with a tour group. I am currently in Poland and cannot visit a Romanian train station.can anyone out there offer me advice please? 

Hi, I booked a reservation for a train and I was wondering whether or not I need to add this reservation to my trip in the App? Is there a way to do that? Or is it enough if I just add that journey to the App ? Thanks a lot! Milli

Hi,I searched all the inbound/outbound Qs but didn’t see my specific Q. If I have a 2 or 3 month Global Pass but would like to have multiple 5 day trips, section 4.2.2 is not clear on how I would pay for my residency outbound. If I depart from my country of residence and either at my final destination in the new country in a single train/couchette or my trip includes a stop in the new country but I will be taking another train for my final destination, how would I pay for my outbound train cost? will the Interrail app show me the cost and I can pay it there because I have no more outbound/inbounds available?  Or, do I need to buy a separate ticket myself and only book my Interrail after I arrive in the new country? Thanks

We're looking into visiting Tunisia on 02 August 2027 for the solar eclipse. What would be good routes and connections from the Interrail notwork, please? 

Are you eligible to buy a senior ticket and would you rather sleep in a bed than in a tent? Do you have time outside the school holidays and are you interested in sharing parts of your travel adventure? Then you’ve come to the right place, and I look forward to hearing your stories. Perhaps a special group of senior citizens will form here.My Story: 1st Trip in 1979, then 1980, 1981, 1983, long time for business, kids and family, still beloved and married but interrail single, last trips 2024 and 2025. Now I’m planning a one-month trip (313€ yeah) for 2027, but I’m not yet sure exactly when or where I’ll be heading.

As an interrail addict I bought a 3 month interrail at last year's (2026) promo, planning to use it Februari - May this year. A broken ankle prevented me from travel. Latest start date is November 8. Obligations make it difficult to travel until mid-January. I will still use it form some small journeys. But is it still possible to get a refund of 90% or was that zero?(And yes, of course I'm buying a pass in the current sale)Thanks

Hello,I’m trying to book a trip with a 3-day pass for France. I got this message. Anybody knows why, what I could do? I tried to get an answer via the Chatrobot, but got stuck in a loop.Thank you! Ester 

I would like to know if the pass, in addition to including train tickets, also covers accommodation in the cities you plan to visit during your Interrail trip.

Traveling first time from Kuwait to France and zurich, can I purchase Interrail pass and use

We are planning a trip around France and Spain. Is it worth paying for the upgrade to a 1st class ticket? Will we be able to use Eurostar Premier? and other first class options? Does anyone have any positive or negative experiences of this? Thanks

Hello! New here! I’m planning my interrail trip with my husband and we’re trying to figure out how to go from Rome to Paris but we can’t, can anyone help? Our idea is Rome-Paris-London! Thank you in advance for your help 

Bonjour, En vue de la situation sanitaire en Europe, je pense sérieusement annulé mon voyage interail prévu pour aout avec mon conjoint. Nous devons aller en Belgique Allemagne, Slovaquie, Hongrie, République Tchèque, Autriche et Suisse. D’autre sont dans mon cas ? Je n’ai pas encore réservé de train donc mon pass sera toujours utilisable l’année prochaine en sachant que je l’ai acheté en janvier dernier ? Nous avons juste prévu le voyage sur l’application. J’avais reçu un mail disant que nos pass étaient prolongés d’une année.  Merci beaucoup pour votre aide et vos avis ! 

We are looking at a months interailing next summer departing United Kingdom and travelling around Central Europe ( France, Switzerland, Austria, Northern Italy ) and were wondering if it would be more beneficial to purchase a 1st class ticket as opposed to a second class ticket. Not sure how reservation costs differ between 1st and 2nd class and whether that added bit of luxury coming with 1st Class will outweigh the difference in cost between the two passes. Having already completed 2 2nd Class month Interail passes in the past we were thinking it might be a bit of fun to try a 1st Class one this time. Would be good to know what the benefits of travelling 1st Class on European trains are. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, I need a cover number so I can make train reservations. Can it start by IN and be followed by 8 digit numbers ? That’s what I received in a mail from interrail just after I paid for my interrail. But ot doesnt satisfy Deutsche Bahn...

I need 10 minutes transfer time between trains and the filter doesn’t seem to show on my phone although it works on the website.  The trains I’m booking for don’t need reservations so if I get. a later train at connection will my ticket still be valid?

Bonjour, Je voulais poser quelques questions vis-à-vis du pass, et je n’arrive pas à trouver de réponses spécifiques à mes questions. J’ai reçu le pass pour aller en allemagne pendant 7j offert par le gouvernement. Sachant que je veux aller en allemagne du 25 au 31 juillet (7j), je voudrais savoir si je pouvais par exemple emprunter un train à Europapark le 31 juillet soir et revenir dans ma ville d’origine française le lendemain matin. Ce qui fait que je prend le train le 31 juillet mais que je dépasse ce jour-là durant mon trajet. Comment cela est-il compris dans le trajet ? Si c’est bon faut-il toujours rester dans le même train, ou puis-je changer lors d’une correspondance durant la nuit du 31 juillet au 1er aout ?Je vous remercie pour vos réponses. Bonne journée, Alexis

HelloI travel on Saturday morning (26SEP).First time user of a mobile pass.Weird issue.This morning I purchased a 7D/1M Senior Global Pass, to start from 26SEP.I successfully added it to the IR Planner app on my ipad. I could also view it on my phone. All good.This a/noon I purchased a 4D/1M Senior Global pass for my wife and successfully added it to my own my IR app, but on the phone. There was a technical glitch on my ipad, so I  couldn't do it. Also with 26SEP start date.PROBLEM My pass is still accessible, usable and ready to go  (no trains booked yet) on my ipad. My wife’s does not appear.However, on my phone, my wife’s app is visible and ready to go. But mine has disappeared. But also showing (which was not displayed before) is my EXPIRED 2024 IR Pass!I have logged  out and back in again on the phone, but do not want to refresh it on my ipad in case mine disappears from there.Does anyone have any thoughts please?Thank you.Mikerid  

Last year, I found that Eurostar reservations were no longer available for my desired dates.Now I’m in a dilemma:I don’t want that to happen again, so I’d like to book the reservations as soon as possible.At the same time, though, I’d prefer to wait for any Interrail promo — but I’d like to secure my Eurostar reservations now for late April 2027 (yes, I know it’s far away...)These reservations are already available on b-europe (but I don’t have an Interrail pass yet, so I can’t proceed).My question is:Is it certain that these reservations on b-europe are valid?The train connection itself for end of April is already bookable on Eurostar.   

Hello. I am trying to buy a single-country rail pass, but the website is not adding the birth dates of the passengers correctly. It also hangs a lot asking me to ensure that I put in the correct birth date for my five-year-old child, which I am. What is going wrong? 

Howdy! My best friend and I are planning a trip to backpack around Europe in about 11 months. I have never been to Europe, she has. We want to see as much as we can in as many countries as possible. We will be there for about a month. We are curious on which pass we should get, (the month, 22 day, 15 day, etc) as we do not want to be super tied down to an itinerary. We do want the freedom of waking up one morning and deciding we want to go see the sunset in another country (if that is possible). Any guidance is appreciated! 

I am traveling through  multiple countries and 2 day trips within Germany.   Should  I buy a 7 day global  pass, or a 5 day global pass and 2 local tickets for my Munich  day trips.  Is the global pass good for the 2 day trips or do I need to buy local tickets for those 2 days. Second question: If I buy Global Plus pass, Do they assign me seats, or do I still have to reserve my own seats? 

I am traveling with a friend. in the month of October.Here is my itinerary listed for each travel day Total of 7 Rail Days in the Month of October. I am listing the amount of time we will be on trains. Im trying to decide which  Global or global plus pass I should buy. Tuscany -Lucerne Switzerland  8.5 HrsLucerne -Lake Geneva    3 hrsLake Geneva -Munich      7.5 hrsMunich - Regensburg back to Munich ( Day trip)Munich to Rothenburg - Back to Munich (Day trip)Munich - Strasbourg FR 5 hrsStrasburg- Tuscany     10.5 hrs.QUESTIONS1. Since 3 of the days the trip is long I am considering buying Global Plus where seat reservations are included. I know the price of the mandatory reserved seats. If I buy the Global Pass I have to pay for all the FAST train reservations but do I have to pay for all the others that say Seat reservations Optional. Does that mean I should reserve a seat? What happens on those if I don't reserve a seat?2.What is your feeling about Global First class V Second class es

I’m not able to add my journey to my pass.I guess it's because I don't want to buy a Reservation. I already have one. 

Hello everyone,  I have a Greek islands interrail pass of 4 days and today is the last day of its validity period. I have booked an overnight ferry ticket for tonight with departure time before the expiration of the pass, which based on the rules I read online should be possible to connect to the pass, as the departure day counts instead of the arrival one when it comes to overnights. However, when I try to connect it to my pass, I receive an error saying that I cannot add it.  I sent a support request about but I am afraid I might not be able to receive an answer on time and I wanted to also ask here and see if someone has had a similar problem and what you did about.  Thank you a lot in advance! 

Merhaba. İlk defa trenle ve yalnız seyahat edeceğim. Gece treninde kuşetli seyahat etmek istesem, uyuyacağım kabinde ne derece güvende olurum? Tek kişilik kabinler mevcut mu? Yoksa bir otelde kalmak daha mı güvenli?Ayrıca tavsiyelerinizi bekliyorum. Teşekkür ederim.
