Get ready to travel

I have a consecutive Eurail Pass (15days) and my first travel day is set to be 30 Apr (My flight will land on 30 Apr in the morning at Zurich 8am).Can I check if I set my pass for activation (step 3) and put 30 Apr as the activation date before I fly off, is the activation date going to be in Europe time or my current timezone?E.g. Activate 30 Apr 0000hr at my timezone (GMT +8) would mean 1800 for (GMT +2) the previous day?

I’m a bit late to buying and booking everything, and im leaving for europe in 4 days. Right now im booking the end of my trip and one day i will go from wien to krakow. when i now check to buy the reservations it says it will be sent by post...which wont work for me as i leave home in 4 days :/ is there anything i can do about this or do i just have to wing it and hope there are any seat reservations left when i come to wien and ill buy it at the station?  thank you! :)

So my brother and I will be in Krakow on the 16th of June and will be looking to take either the night train (10:44 PM) to Prague or the 10:43 in the morning of the 17th. According to Eurial and the polish trin site I need to book a reservation for both but on the czech site it only says “free reservation”. What is the best way for me to book a reservation (my brother and I) for one of these trains? We will both have valid Eurail passes at the time we take the train.Thanks for the help.

Hey and I apologize in advance if these questions about reservations are getting annoying but I find it highly confusing and also rather inconvenient. Quick background, I’m using my Interrail ticket for work purposes so I’m unfortunately not as flexible and have to be at certain places at certain times. I’m struggling with the following connections: Ljubljana (Slovenia) to Poland using the EC212 to Vienna and EC100 from Vienna are indicated as ‘prices unavailable’ in the reservation tool (my travel is less than 2 months away and I checked both the Polish and Austrian train operators’ websites, not bookable either) Similar from Poland to Berlin with an IC direct connection ‘Seat reservations unavailable, It seems no price offer is available right now’ - also when I look now at reservations within the next 30 days it's the same issue. How can I make a reservation for these trains? Perhaps at a train station in Austria beforehand? Barcelona to Sevilla, Madrid to Sevilla: am I correct that

Hello, I have a question. On the app it seems not mandatory to reserve ICE trains to travel in Germany (national connections). But I do not trust the app anymore, too many flaws.Do you know if it is ok just to jump on a ICE without reservation?  ThanksMarco

To receive the 25% discount on the Funicular from Interlaken to Harder Kulm do you need to book using the Eurail app or just show them your Global pass? Also, in taking the 25% discount, does this count as a travel day?

Hello everybody! I'm planning my first interrail trip and I AM SO EXCITED!! The only thing I'm worried about is that for the train I wanted to catch in Genova to Salerno (Amalfi Coast) it says its only available until August 4. So my question is: Does anyone know if there will be a different train (number) available for that route? So far I found the ICN 799, ICN 797 and the ICN 1963. But neither of them is shown August 22.. Any ideas?  Thank you :)

I have just seen this on the facebook group for Interrail for the older crowd. I have no other info but …. I got this email over the weekend....think it may be of interest to you guys!Dear Traveller,We get it.You saw the 50 years of Interrail Promo last May and couldn’t resist the whopping 50% discount (who could blame you?).However, we can see in our system that your Pass has expired. And to reward you for taking swift action and to ensure you can still experience the freedom and flexibility of Interrailing, we have extended your Pass for a bit longer (free of charge).Free extension: You have until 10 July to activate your Pass. And you can use it until the last travel day based on the type of Pass you bought.Let us explain: If you activate your Pass on 10 July, the last day you can travel with it is as follows:1-month Pass: 10 August2-month Pass: 10 September3-month Pass: 10 OctoberNeed inspiration? Why not check out our suggested itineraries like Epic Summer in Europe or Last-minute

Planning a train journey from Malaga to Paris for 26th May and am trying to include a night journey so I can arrive in Paris in before noon if possible… But no matter how I slice/dice it, cannot  find a suitable night journey component to include. I have a Global Eurail Pass and would not mind using extra travel days or even a detour (Nice-Ville??) if necessary… Can someone experienced on this route share any suggestions? I have downloaded the Renfe app too, by the way... but can't put a night jet route in it. Regards, 

Hi all,I’m newbie here trying to buy the Interrail Global Pass for 7 days in a month but having some issues with ages.I’m 24yo so I’m allowed to buy the Youth Global Pass but when I arrive at the step before purchasing it appears that the traveler has to be at least 27yo before leaving for Interrail.Can someone help me please? :)

I have read on several websites (and the Interrail website) that there is a discount with Interrail/ Eurail on various ferry routes in Switzerland.I am interested in CGN ferries from Lausanne to France. There is no mention on the CGN website of an Interrail discount. Does anyone know if there is?

We will be travelling in Switzerland in August 23 we have 15 day global passes.We plan to take the rail to Jungfraujoch from Interlaken.When booking tickets on www.jungfraujoch.com  discounts are offered to Eurail pass holder. However when we try to add the journey to our pass the rail planner says “ pass not valid for this journey”.Does anyone have more informationThanks

I am new to the Community and am very much in need of advice with regard to travel by train to certain cities in Germany and Poland as part of a tour I plan for July 2023.  American Express no longer helps with train reservations and schedules so frankly I am rather lost.  This is to be a World War Two related tour to Berlin, Munich, Nurnberg, Berchtesgaden, Prague, Krakow, and Warsaw.  I already have a Polish guide for travel to certain locations by automobile, and have guides set up for Munich, Nurnberg, and Berchtesgaden, and am working on Berlin.  But I truly do not know how to even think about arranging for train travel between these destinations never having really traveled by train much in Europe before.  I am hoping that someone can help or knows a travel agent with whom I can work that can put together the itinerary for me.  Thank you.

HI!I am trying to book a Nightjet from Basel to Bremen and would like a cabin or two as traveling with 5 people. I am going through Eurail’s easy system, but it only shows me “2nd class — Pass - Berth 6 persons” or 2nd class seats as options. I believe there are different cabin types and wondered if anyone had any advice for me on how to find those and book the right one? Thanks much! 

Last year they had the 50 year sale. I am thinking that will not be repeated but will there be any sale.
