Get ready to travel

Hi all :) I’m confused with the different route results/suggestions coming from searches on Interrail VS The train line VS Happy rail.As an example I find on intterrail the option to go on APR 17 from Geneva 7.15 to Rotterdam 18.10 (4 changes.On thetrainline.com this option does not exist. Neither on happyrail.com. I’ve used these websites a lot and always put a lot of faith in them. Looking forward to hearing how you deal with this, do most people exclusively use the search on interrail? 

Hi. I'm thinking of buying a 4 day Swiss pass. There are so many places i want to go from Bern, and I'm thinking of doing 2 or 3 trips per day. But i want to have some flexibility in case, for example, I love the first stop and don't want to do a second trip that same day. Or, perhaps i want to change a trip because of bad weatherSo, finally, the question: can i book tickets on the day of travel and then change them if I want to?Thanks very much  Terry

Hi,What is the cost of a cabin for two from Vienna to Berlin? The site seems to say €150 but is that per person or cabin ?If we share a couchette , what are the rules for a husband and wife? Are the couchettes mixed ?

Can change my trip after I have activated my ticket? 

CAN I TRAVEL FROM MILAN TO PARIS ON ITALY EURAIL PASS OR DO I NEED GLOBAL EURAIL PASS??

Can I use SNCF BUSSES with the pass?

In short: Eurail is far more expensive than other forms of travel through both France and Spain due to the additional fees. It is also extremely inconsistent. I know of multiple friends, and myself, who have been completely screwed by last minute cancellations in France. It will be the worst part of your trip and the most expensive by far. Organize your own travel through these countries.In detail:Eurail is fine through Germany, Switzerland, and Belgium.I would recommend using it for those countries.In France and Spain (Spain actually being where I live) it absolutely sucks. The additionally fees to travel through France, on the very few trains that are actually available to eurail customers, can nearly double the price of the trip. In addition, to actually be able to use your eurail pass in France, you need to book months in advance due to them limiting spots for eurail customers (presumably to make more money on full price tickets). This is risky to do because when France goes on str

Hi! I want to travel from paris to barcelona and I am not sure whether I should be buying a one country pass or a global pass. One of the scheduled trains tells me that if I have a one country pass I need to buy the ticket separatelywhile the other scheduled time does not have any instruction whatsoeverI am a bit confused because the train travels across countries. I do not need a globa pass I am just taking this train

Good afternoon, Silly question perhaps but I am looking for confirmation or information on:I bought a global pass for 2 persons (me and my wife). I have activated the pass. (so far so good!) When I check the mobile pass information (My Pass) I cannot find any information on my wife’s name, just my name, pass reference and pass type. nor in the details. Is that ok or do I have to add additional information. How?

Hello!I’m having major issues trying to book seat reservations…We would like to take the 13:02 train from Copenhagen to Berlin June 20th, change of trains in Hamburg. Seat reservations required and I get them to my cart...but then the system says “not enough free reservations for some travellers in your package”. What?? What is this?I also tried finding the same connection via DB and other online booking services to make the booking, but it doesn’t even exist there...only connections with 2+ changes of trains.Any advice on how to be able to book the seats to these 2 particular trains?  

Hello! We purchased Eurail pass for our Spain trip but when I select the cities From and To. It says the following message shown below:Not available from Eurail.comThis seat reservation can’t be booked on our website. Check 'More information' for other ways to book.These are the cities “Madrid, Seville, Valencia, Barcelona”. Tried to reach out to Chatbot, no luck. Robot keeps answering with no connection to my question :-(Any help from the community is appreciated.TIA 

Hi, I have searched many similar questions but I’m afraid still not clear on my situation.I have a 2 month continuous Global pass bought in last year’s sale that must be activated by 9th April.Due to my son being injured, I can not leave him and travel for a while.  I understand activating on the 9th will start the 2month period so valid until 9th June but do I have to take a trip on that day or can I just activate the pass so I do not lose it?If so, please how do I do it? Activate, add a trip but just done go on it?Many thanks for any help.  I have tried contacting customer services with no luck.

I am British. I’ve bought a pass (5 stops in 1 month) and have to state my inbound/outbound journey from the UK. However, I will already be in Europe on a work trip (ticket paid separately). This means when I activate my interrail pass my first trip (outbound) will not be from the UK but France. Does this matter or should I state my first trip I use as an outbound trip? I guess my main concern is ensuring I’m able to get back to the UK on my final (inbound) journey. I hope this makes sense. Any advice appreciated.

If I bought a Eurail Austria Pass, can I use it for the OBB night jet from Vienna to Zurich? thank you!

We are inter-railing in July as a family of four (two teenagers). We are doing some popular long-ish routes eg Brussels to Munich via Frankfurt, and Salzburg to Budapest. My question is whether the trains tend to be heaving at this time of year and how likely we are to end up standing/ sitting on the floor? If the latter, can trains safely be booked a few days in advance or should we be doing it weeks in advance? 

I would like to buy a global pass but need a caregiver pass also.  I will be leaving for Spain in two days and would like to buy it before I go.

I think I read that at some stations you scan your ticket.   We have paper pass and I don't see a barcode on them.  How does it scan?

Hello, I am having trouble booking a bed for me and my daughter in the nighttrain napoli > milano 14th april although seems available if I can believe other websites… the interrail app lets me go through with the reservation until the very last moment when you want to confirm to pay.

Hello. We’ve just set off as a family of five with mobile passes on my phone. On the first journey, my pass became removed from my phone. Not sure how. I have readers it successfully but it links to “My Trip” default not the Interrail adventure trip I created and duplicated. Any way to reconnect it? I’m getting the message that a pass count be connected to a different trip once travel has started. But it was connected to the other trip when we set off!!  

My ticket/pass  will no longer display on my phone. I have been travelling for 2 weeks in Spain, where it worked perfectly when making seat reservations. Today I entered Portugal and went to the station to purchase a seat reservation but in spite of having entered the journey and being connected to the internet all I get is a message saying “No ticket for this date” which completely wrong. Please help asap as I have to travel tomorrow!!!!
