Get ready to travel

Hi, I am coming to Italy on 18-April. Have to travel from Florence to Fiumicino airport. My flight is at 10pm. I have time from 10am in the morning at Florence. I thought of exploring Vatican city on the way. I want to drop my luggage in a station (may be Roma termini)  before I can explore the city and collect it later while going to airport. What is the cheap and best option to travel and explore the city?

Hello travelers! How are you? I am a Brazilian traveler, but, i never use the Eurail Pass. I'm going to travel around some countries in Europe, but in Italy I intend to visit more cities (Venice, Bologna, Modena,...). In that case, can I use the Eurail Pass Global inside Italy? Another question about this. I wanna buy the Eurail Pass Global 22 days. Do these days count even if I don't use it on my trip for a few days? for example I'm going to Italy and spend 3 days there without using my Pass, in this case, do the 3 days count or not?

I spent more than an hour trying to book all the reservations for our trip to Europe in April/May.  I go to check-out and says one reservation is no longer available!!  After an hour?  Okay, but it doesn’t say which.  Frustrating.  I try to click back to see if at any point it tells me which reservation is no longer available,  but no, it does not!   Instead, it empties my cart,I wish I had not purchased the Eurail Pass.  The last time I purchased, back in 2018, it was great.  You could speak to someone, spend time with them booking reservations, etc.  Now you get an email back in two days!!  And the reservation prices are all over the place - much more than they said on website.  Plus, a $5 fee per reservation!  

I am trying to make seat reservations for trains from Paris to Lucerne on 7th May 2023. One leg is Paris Est to Strasbourg (France) on ICE9571 leaving Paris Est at 6:55 am.  Even though it shows up in the search with reservation cost, when I go forward and fill in the passenger details, it fails with “‘One of the legs of your journey is not available anymore” error. I am not able to confirm and pay for the reservation. I have searched for topics in the community (thanks for that, there are a lot of good info available) and when I tried to book directly on the train company website but there also I couldn’t go forward. I am attaching a few screenshots below.1/ What is the best way to move forward? I also have a couple of related question.2/ When I planed the trip on eurail.com (not logged in) it showed USD12.80 as the 2nd class seat reservation fee. But, after logging in, for the same train it shows USD24.00 as the fee. In both the searches I have “Included in Pass” filter selected. Som

Hi, I have read previous responses however we are having difficulty obtaining/paying for our seat reservations.

Thankyou.

Hi All,I’m new to this way of travelling and a bit confused about how I can reserve a night train from Zurich to Prague on May 10th 2023. There’s no availability on the interrail site but there is on other sites. How do I book this and can I use my global pass with these other companies? If I can, how do I go about this.Thanks

Hi Everyone,I have bought Interail global pass, and I can not make any reservations. Every time I click on a train to make a reservation, I get a message that says ‘Not available for some travellers...Some of your travellers passes are not valid on this train’.I’ve also heard that the interail app is not reliable, as the train times aren’t updated frequently enough.I want to get a train from London into Paris, and then from Paris to Barcelona. Can someone give me some advice on what to do?Thanks,Davro

We are boarding the 20.28 nightjet from Amsterdam to Zurich tomorrow and wondered what is the earliest you can board the train? We have a bunch of kids so hope to get them settled in their bunks as early as possible. Any advice welcomed, thanks

Hi everybody, so sorry for the newbie question. I want to get a refund for my pass, but: - I need to change the validity date (which is tomorrow! argh) - So I need to delete my trip but: “This trip can’t be deleted. There are travelers in this trip. Please delete the travelers first, then delete this trip” - But when I try to delete the traveler (myself), any options with the traveler are grayed out and I can’t edit anything.  This has been a really miserable experience - any suggestions or assistance would be super appreciated. I know my pass isn’t eligible for a refund once the start date comes (tonight at midnight) so I am stressing and my emails to customer service haven’t been answered.  

Help!!  I have 2 first class passes.I cannot book reservations for two legs of my journey Copenhagen to Hamburg on April 23, depart at 11:01, a direct train and Hanover to Copenhagen on May 7.  depart 11:20am, with connection in Hamburg. I can put the reservations in my cart but when I get to the step of paying, it tells me “Error - One of the legs of your journey is not available anymore.  Please try searching for another connection.”When I go back to make a reservation, it again says there is availability and this nightmare starts again.  

We are traveling from Rome to Florence and then Florence to Milan.  What is the best way to make reservations on the high speed trains?

Hello ! Unclear explanation for me if you have to add journeys in Northern Ireland & Ireland. Scrolling down in "Options" doesn't give me somewhere the opportunity to add train stations in these countries. Could you please clarify ? Thanks !

Hey. There s no way they are sold out. They just opened for booking 3 hours ago. On OBB you can buy full ticket sleeper but no tickets available when ‘seat only’. I will go personally to station, maybe they are only few. Couchette lets me buy tho. Error :” One of the legs of your journey could not be booked” just before purchasing. 1st of July: Wien-Bukarest 19:42-15:05 Please let me know your opinion. Thanks!
