Get ready to travel

I will be traveling on a EuroCity train from Switzerland to Italy soon. I have my Eurail mobile pass and have made seat reservations through Eurail. I have also printed these seat reservations out. Do I need to validate my ticket/seat reservations? If so, how do I do that?

A few weeks ago I think I saw a reply that you can now transfer an activated pass without requesting a reset from Customer Services. Is old age setting in and I am imagining things?

Is there a route from milan to London without TOO many seat reservations necessary? I want to travel on 25th or 26th April, arriving not too late on 26th if possible.  Thanks.

Does a First Class pass allow travel in Avanti First or just Standard Premium in the UK? And are there hot meals served? Thank you

Hello,I’m planning to travel between London St Pancras and Cologne on 1 May this year, using one of the days of my 1st class Adult Interrail Global Pass (7 days in one month). However, the timetable has changed since I bought the pass and made reservations for that day.I bought the Interrail pass and reservations for the Eurostar (through the SNCB website) on 13 March. My original itinerary was as follows, which I settled on using DB’s Reiseauskunft:09:01 London St Pancras - Bruxelles Midi 12:05 (Eurostar 9116) 12:25 Bruxelles Midi - Koln Hbf 14:15 (ICE 315)However, it appears that, since then, DB have changed the timetable for the Bruxelles - Frankfurt ICEs over the period from 29 April to 1 May. I noticed this in Reiseauskunft and it is referred to on another part of DB’s website: https://bauinfos.deutschebahn.com/linie/ICE79-ICE-INTERNATIONAL-Bruxelles-Midi-Frankfurt-M. ICE 315 now starts at Bruxelles Nord at 12:15, meaning I can’t get to it from the incoming Eurostar.My connection

Because I have left it too late – I leave on 3rd April – I cannot make a reservation on Eurostar to go to Paris. After doing my research, I have decided that my best route is to go from Victoria to Newhaven via Brighton, and then get the ferry from Newhaven to Dieppe. From Dieppe I can then get the train to Paris. You would think this was a very simple matter to use this as my outward journey from my home country – but you would be wrong! I have spent literally the whole day on the interrail app, looking at endless related topics, FAQs, and various community websites trying to sort it out, with no success at all.I have tried entering ‘Newhaven’, ‘Dieppe’, and ‘Paris’ as my destination, and all I am getting back is that I am being routed in a circle back round to London to take the Eurostar, which I cannot do because I cannot make a reservation! (Quite apart from the fact that the journey from London back to London takes 8 hours!!) And/or I am being told that this is not a valid route f

I would like to travel from Barcelona to Athens. What are the routes if at all I take a pass?

Hi (:I bought an Interrail ticket last year and 11.04.23 is the last day I can activate it. However, I can only start from 15.04.23 for three weeks.Does it matter when I make my first trip after I activated the pass on 11. April? Or do I need to add a trip on that day?Thanks for your help :)Julia

I have planned my whole trip with interrail but I need to buy the ticket from Paris north to Brussels central. The interrail website does not give me the purchase details, where can I book it? My pass is an electronic one, so every train reservation is validated via qr code (I don't need paper tickets), right?

Hi Folks,I am a first time interrail traveller and I am facing an issue when planning my trip. Appreciate all the help :)I am planning to travel to Copenhagen from Munich (then to Norway and Sweden). I plan to start my trip from Munich on 6th april 2023 and reach Copenhagen on 7th april. I am facing two issues.1) To go to Copenhagen, the fastest route is via Hamburg. When I search in the rail planner app, the app is showing connections through Hamburg but with multiple changes. There is a train (IC3) which takes ~5 hours and is direct from Hamburg to Copenhagen, but it isn't showing up in interrail planner (even when I am searching a single trip from Hamburg to Copenhagen). This train is mentioned in interrail website under the danish trains section also on other websites. How can I add this train journey to my pass?2) As I mentioned, my journey starts on 6th April 2023 at 11pm from Munich. Since it's my residence country this journey will utilize an outbound journey. But since I have

I bought a train ticket in Paris for travel from florence to venice. But I was Downes with diarrhoea. I didn't use the train ticket. Can I get a refund, please. Thanks.

But there was no seats on the replacement train. My husband and I paid 44€ for the seat reservation.I'd like to request a refund on this deposit.

This comes up when I want to do the Reservation. I activated the pass and added the travel to it. I need to buy one reservation directly with SNCB

Paris, France to Lourdes, France next day to Santiago de Compostela, Spain easy way to book?

Hi, I have a journey Amsterdam - Berlin on 29/03. It says seat reservation recommended. 2 questions: 1- Is it really recommended for this journey or will I be fine without one? 2- If I book a seat for the 11:00, but I need to catch the 13:00, can I transfer my seat reservation or will I have to buy a new one for the later train? Thank you!

I’m looking at taking the route from France to Barcelona via Latour de Carol and noticed a wonderful piece of cross border scheduling. The Toulouse train arrives at 10:26 and the Barcelona train departs one minute earlier at 10:25!! Has anyone taken this morning train and can confirm the Barcelona train does in fact leave without waiting for the Toulouse train? Thanks.

Hello, I am trying to book a seat for Sargan to Ljubljana (night train) but it doesn’t work.

Does anyone has already taken this train and succeed to reserve a seat in advance?  I would really appreciate some help. thanks a lot, Lola 

This is saying that I need a bus from Bologna to Prato. Is this included in the interrail price, will I need to book (I’ve selected no reservation) and is it easy to find (is it at the station and goes straight to Prato station) 

I tried to plan my trip from Inverness to Canterbury to make reservations, but the last part (London- Canterbury) does not turn up in the trip-planner. Can I not use the interrail ticket in south of London?

On my interrail route I’ll be going from Milan to Salzburg. It’s saying that ‘a supplement is required’ even though I’m on the ‘no reservations necessary’ filter. What does this mean and what will happen if I don’t have this? 

Hi what is a pass cover number? I want to book a seat via another train website. Do I need pass cover number for mobile pass before I can fo this? 

Hello everyone,i just found out that the prices for reservations in France has increased massively from 12€ to 22€ for many of the trains that i want to take: Does anyone know why or if this is a bug?Also, what does “Pass Interrail (BE)” mean? Because on the 17:28 connection that costs 12€ it says “IRT 2 class”: CheersMarc

Hi everyone. I want to reserve a train from Cluj Napoca to Budapest but I’m unable to even add it to the cart because it says:“Prices unavailableNo price results were found for this connection. It is possible that all pass holder seats are sold out. Please try searching for another connection or check 'More information' and try other ways to book this seat reservation. If no pass holder seats are available anymore you need to buy a separate full fare ticket to board.”Is this really fully booked? I get the feeling that it is due to that Interrail doesnt have access to the reservation system of Hungary. However, when I go to the site of the Hungarian reservation system ( https://jegy.mav.hu/jegy/szolgaltatas-valasztas?step=3 ) it is expensive and I don’t know how to enter that I have an interrail pass. How should I fix this? Or is it not doable? On the interrail site (https://www.interrail.eu/nl/plan-your-trip/reservations/how-do-i-book-my-reservations#instructions ) it states that there

Hi, i’m travelling around Europe with a friend in april and i have a reservation question.There is a train that we would like to take from Berlin to Amsterdam on the 23rd of april, it says that we are ready to board and that we can buy a seat reservation if we like, it's not required but its “recommended” (in green). The problem is that the prices for this reservation are unavailable, which probably means that there are no reservations left. My question is, will we still be able to get on this train ? And if we can will there be any seats left or will we have to stand up for 6 hours ?Thank you !
