Get ready to travel

I have the interrail pass and travelling to Paris on the weekend. The last train needs seat reservation but I cannot reserve through the app. It says “Pass holder reservation may be sold out”I have everything planned and really cannot cancel my travel! Is there any other way I can get the seat reservation?Thanks!

Hi.  I can only find passes within one country or all 33 countries.  I was looking to buy a pass for two bordering countries.  I thought these used to exist.  Have they been eliminated? Thanks for the help.

hi, i have some questions.first, if i buy the 7 tay global pass, the outbound and the inbound days are already in the 7 (aka i have to use 2 of them) or are them other two?second, can i take more than one train in my outbound travel if i can’t go out with only one train?thank you ;)

Hi, i would like to know what is the best itinerary to take to go from France to the mainland Greece?I general, how long does it take and what pass should i buy? There are no itineraries indicated on the website that's why i would like to know if someone who has done this trip before could help me. Thank you a lot! 

Hi guys I am trying to book train tickets from London Paddington to London st Pancras with the Eurail app but it doesn't come up with any trains but I know there are lots of them, can someone explain please.Thanks Dave

Hi,I want to buy the 4 days in one month ticket.I would travel overnight, does it count as one day because the journey is in the frame of 24 hrs or does ist count as two days because it covers two days in the calender?Thanks!Best wishesEllen 

Hey there,might be a stupid question, but it really matters to me.I have a 2 month global pass and in the Railplanner-App it says “Activate this pass by 19th April”. Just to make sure: I can activate it ON the 19th april, right? I dont have to do it UNTIL 19th April?I am a bit nervous about my trip, so I just wanted to make sure not to be 1 Day too late :DThank you very much.P.

Does it matter that I can’t book on the Eurail pass site and therefore can’t see the trips on my pass app? Both times I have booked a night train.The first from Berlin to Budapest we had to have a seat reservation and booked it through OBB using our pass details. Then the second, from Amsterdam to Zurich, showed it was available and included but wouldn’t let me choose it to make the seat reservation that was recommended - ie my cart was empty. So I have also booked on OBB. Just wondering if it matters that I can’t book them on my pass. Or if I am doing something wrong/not seeing something obvious in the process.Thanks, any help appreciated!

I’m a student from outside Europe studying abroad (on exchange) in Switzerland for 4 months. I just bought a Global Pass for a trip to Germany but noticed belatedly that I had bought the Interrail pass instead of the Eurail one, probably because I indicated Switzerland as my country of residence. I have not yet received my residence card, but I do have proof of registration at the Resident’s Office here. Seeing as I will likely have to activate my pass on 6/7 Apr (in a few days), I am a bit anxious and would like to seek reassurance that I don’t have to exchange my Interrail pass for an Eurail one. In short, can I use the Interrail pass I bought despite not having a European passport? I really don’t want to get fined.

My daughter is traveling and I’m at home trying to help her. She is in London and needs to get to Barcelona. She has the 15 days in 2 months global pass. We do not understand the app or where she needs to go to get her seat reservations. Can someone make this simple for us and explain it step by step? thank you! 

I saw that some travels need “seat reservation”, how can I make this reservation ?

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 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, we want to travel in Denmark, Norway and Sweden in August in September. We are from Germany.Now my question: Are in the Global Pass trips in Germany included, and are the trips from Germany to Denmark and from Sweden back to Germany included?  Thanks for your help! Philipp

We left it too late to book seat reservations from Frankfurt to Zurich for family of 4! Any tips to finding seats or seats we can use that don’t need a reservation? 

Hello Team, can you please tell me through which websites can i know regading the ongoing train strike, i will be visiting, Switzerland, Italy, France, Uk, Belgium, Netherland in starting of may

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.
