Get ready to travel

Is the Interrail Global Pass valid on Arriva's International train from Esbjerg (DK) via Tønder (border) to Niebüll (DE)?

Hello,I would like to travel by train across Belgium and Netherlands using the Interrail Pass for the first time. Could anyone please tell me if seat reservation in Belgium mandatory on ICE/EC/IC trains?And how can I pay supplements for using  ICE/EC/IC trains online in advance so I could save time on going to the ticket desk while changing trains?Thank you very much in advance!

Hi, I am super stressed to get some Eurostar reservations after I noticed that there are NONE as soon as you log in with your pass, and ALL while you are not logged in (I wouldn’t have bought a pass for this month if I knew that earlier) but now I am trying to reach a friend which reservation to take (one costs me 89 euros more because I need to buy an extra full fare Thalys from Amsterdam-Brussels as there are no pass quota reservations left) but I am stressed that the shopping cart will expire before I could book them! Anyone knows? Thank you! 

I booked through the Eurail app and was assigned a random seat in first class. I wrote to SNFC on Facebook and they told me that I have to return it and buy another one but when I do that I get another random seat again.Is there no chance in first class to choose the seat?

Ik ben nieuw hier en weet niet of vragen hier ook in het Nederlands gesteld kunnen worden, maar vooruit maar, ik waag het er op in de hoop antwoord te krijgen.Ik zit namelijk met een onduidelijkheid.Mijn situatie is als volgt. Ik heb een (digitale) Global pass voor twee maanden. Binnen die periode wil ik verschillende reizen maken. Een eerste reis heb ik al achter de rug. Daarbij heb ik mijn outbound/inbound gebruikt (onbegrijpelijk trouwens dat je bij zo'n meermaandenpas maar één keer outbound/inbound kunt gebruiken) Een volgende reis ligt in het verschiet, van Amsterdam naar Heidelberg. Daarover heb ik nu een paar vragen:Als ik het goed begrijp moet ik nu een apart kaartje kopen voor het traject binnen Nederland. Ik heb een Dal Voordeel abo… Is het mogelijk online een NS ticket te kopen met Dal Voordeel? (Want ik kan wel inchecken met mijn OV-kaart, maar uitchecken zal niet lukken aangezien ik dan in een trein zit die de grens over gaat) In het geval van bovenstaande reis, dien ik da

I have 2 x 2month Eurail passes on my app - One for my wife and one for me.Both have their own trips and we have identical journeys saved to each.  When I click the right hand button it adds each of my journeys to my pass and creates a QR code ticket I can generate from my pass tab.when I click the button on my wife’s journey, it has a “something went wrong” message and I am unable to add any of the journeys.My wife also has her pass duplicated within the app (no idea how this happened) and I can’t remove either of them and neither has the option to show ticket (as I can’t add journeys to her pass).  Not sure if this issue is related to the first problem?Cheers

If you have a 1st Class Eurail Pass (7 days in 1 month), are others literally reserving your seat on travel days (the unreserved seat you are occupying) in which this app says "No reservation required"?  E.g. Prague to Vienna today, it seemed as though this was happening all around us.  We got lucky, I think!  

I have purchased interrail one country pass for Italy.Can I use public transport in Rome with Italy Interrail pass? Also in. Other cities like Naples for example.Thanks  

Hi AllOk, I *think* I might be starting to understand how this works.I have a 7 day pass.I go and search for the trip on Rail Planner in the Planning section.Add the trip to My Trip, which adds it to a travel day.Then if it says “a seat reservation is required” for part of the trip, I go to wherever the country rail is and book a seat reservation (in this case LNER).But I don’t need a ticket for the rest of the interconnecting trains if they dont need a reservation because it’s covered under the Eurail day of travel and the train companies don’t think you need to book a specific ticket?Is that right? & how do we continue 1st class on the other legs of the journey if we don't have a seat reservation please?

As strikes continue in France many trains were cancelled and the only train available to us required seat reservations.  We had to get on this train as accommodation was already booked.  Are we able to get a refund? If so, how do we do it? 

Hey everyone, I am trying to book a reservation for the Eurostar from Paris to London on the 14th of January (it absolutely needs to be this date), but the Interrail reservations tools just tells me that there are no schedules available yet. I have been checking the website for a couple week, but they have not been updated yet. On the actual Eurostar page, however, the train times are already available. I am somewhat concerned about getting a reservation, as the Interrail website advises you to book the Eurostar about six months in advance. Can someone tell me when the schedules will be up? I would be very grateful for help!  Eva 

Hi guys, I have an inter-rail pass (15 days in 2 months)So I want too take the train from Port-Bou (Spain) too Zurich (Switzerland) in one day, and there is a route with no seat reservations required,However the layover times are quite short (12 minutes - 20 minutes) and the site only says “no seat reservation required” “your ready to board”My question is, do I still need to somehow book physical tickets for these trains? I take it I cannot hop off one train, and straight onto the next without actually having a ticket?And in that sense, is 12/20 minutes enough time too book these tickets once I hop off the train, considering I do not speak French, or German so might be a little hard to navigate the train stations and quickly get the ticket I need?Because the ticket thing I’m looking at on my interrail app has all the journeys for that day, so the QR code is the ticket for each journey? and in that case where do I sit? just anywhere? Also, should I take my Passport or is an ID card enou

hello, I brought a 2 month mobile pass in the 50% sale 10/05/2022the last day for the activation is 10 april. what is the last travel day?is it still possible to travel the 2 months after april?😊Thanks,

Hey, i am starting my first interrail soon and have a question bc Im afraid to do something wrong and having problems since i travel alone. I need to activate my Pass before 10th of April, so before I forget i really wanna Do it now..but:My first travel date is 18th of April.I will fly to spain on 13th, stay in one city for some days, and start my travel with train then on 18th. Since i read that I can only book Reservation IN spain and Reservation is mandatory: What if I connect a train now (i need to add a train i will take right?) and when Im in spain the seats are not available anymore for this train? I would rather activate my pass right before my travel as adviced but since my travel date is after the day where I need to activate its not possible. Also second question, what if for any reason I can not  take the train on 18th I have chosen? Is it true I then can not use my whole pass anymore? So is this first train fixed??  Thank you so much for your helpJohanna

Hi, I'm planning to travel on the EC9 from Muenster to Zuerich on april 9, leaving at 9.03 and arriving at 17.00. The Rail Planner app says I need to change in Basel Bad BF to (the same?) EC9. When I look at this train in the Deutsche Bahn app it says it's a direct connection. I'm confused whether I need to make a transfer to the same or another train, can anyone help me? Kind regards, Henk-Jan

Hii’m new to the interrail community. I have a general question regarding the rules of travelling.I’m thinking to use the 10 day in 2 months option. Is it  allowed to travel to a certain city in europe and then continue by car to another city and there continue my trip by train. Or do you need to always leave the city by train if you entered it like that?is it thus allowed that your total trip does not form a complete loop?thanks in advance

We have booked to travel from Naples to Milan and added it to my trip but cannot see the global pass anymore 

We are travelling on the Eurostar today on a later time than expected. We have reservations for the correct train but it won’t allow me to add it to the pass as it says I have used up the outbound stage - but obviously we haven’t- it won’t let me change  help!!

As  above  my  pass has  a  large expiration date and number of uses. But the mobile pass is full. I ask for a quick response and a resolution. We need a pass now because we still traveling.

I am trying to book a train for my son and friend from London to Paris in a few weeks and every train every day says Prices Unavailable.   I find that very hard to believe, a Thursday in late April?  Not sure why they bought passes when availability is limited.   Can someone let me know if I’m getting something wrong.   

Hi, we are in Australia, travelling to Europe in 2 weeks. We have booked all our trains. We have been struggling with booking ‘seat reservations’ on the appropriate trains. A travel agent has now said that we cannot do that from here, and needs to be done when we get to each station. Is this correct? We have the travel train tickets on our Eurail passes, does this guarantee out travel, irrespective of the seat reservation? Thanks again. 

Hi everyone, I have booked seat reservations on eurail.com for my 1st class pass and as stated here (https://www.interrail.eu/en/plan-your-trip/reservations/trains-with-additional-supplements ) I was expecting supplement fee to be included as my reservation costed me 17 EUR per person. Unfortunately I don’t see anything regarding supplement in my PDF confirmation and now support told me, there is no supplement included and that I should buy one. The reservation itself doesn’t cost 17 EUR, so I don’t get it. Anybody has the same experience? Did you have problems with conductor at the train?Thanks,Jacob

Im having a hard time getting a night train from Sicily to Florence with a sleeper for 2???

Hello,I have a few questions about seat reservations in the Czech Republic, Portugal and Spain.Can I buy seat reservation on the ceske drahy website, there are no options for Interrail ticket? Other times I buy seat reservation, there was most time an option for Interrail tickets. Is this possible to buy a “only reservation ticket” or is this false.I know I have to buy seat reservations in Portugal and Spain at the station. I want to arrive 1–2 days in Spain before my ride, is this enough time to buy my seat reservations in Spain? Furthermore, I need to take in the most times the exactly same train to arrive.Aside from that, can I buy seat reservation for Portugal in Spain and for Spain in Portugal? Because I arrive in Portugal with the train there where I need the seat reservation.
