Get ready to travel

Good day! I am torn between purchasing between the Eurail and Swiss Pass. Our itinerary is as follows for end of May 2023: Day 1-2 - ParisDay 3 - Train from Paris to InterlakenDay 4 - Interlaken (possibly do a boat tour in Lake Brienz)Day 5 - Train from Interlaken/Lauterbrunnen to Lucerne (We have plans to go paragliding this specific morning, so have to go to Stechelberg station for this from Interlaken and then go to Lucerne after. I know there is a cable car ride involved from Stechelberg to Murren which is the take off site.)Day 6 - Lucerne (We were looking into doing a Mt Pilatus trip)Day 7 - Train from Lucerne to Geneva (Possibly looking at doing a stop in Gruyeres)Day 8 - Train from Geneva to RomeDay 9-11 - Rome I was hoping I could do a combo of Eurail and Swiss Pass (3 days each), but the smallest Eurail package seems to be for 4 days. Thank you in advance, Regards,Pat   

Hi, I am trying to get my head around reservations on night trains. Want to travel from Berlin to Vienna. If I book the below ticket via the OBB nightjet website, the wording says it's for a flex ticket + reservation, so do I still need to make a separate reservation using my eurail app and pay the reservation fee of 62euros? 

Hi, wondering if anyone can help, I am trying to book a seat reservation from Budapest to Ljubljana on the 18th of April at 9am.  After following the seat reservation guide posted on here I am still unable to book a seat reservation alone without a ticket being added on. The international pass global price is an option but it appears to only be for domestic trains? Do I have to €17 for the train and the seat reservation?Thanks

I’m traveling from UK to Germany have seat reservation for Eurostar and It will reach Bruxelles at 18.05 and the connecting train is at 18.25 others are fully booked. And I have only 1 day left in my Eurail pass. Is it possible to catch the connecting train, if I miss it can I hop into Thalys without reservation?Suggestions please

What benefits I get in the train and at the source station by booking 1st class tickets in TGV7035 (Paris to Lille), Eurostar 9141 (Lille to Paris) and TGV9210 ( Zurich to Paris)?

Hello! I have a Eurail second class global pass. I originally got a standard class seat reservation from Paris to London in April, but we had to change the date we will be leaving Paris. I went onto the Eurostar app and was able to change the date but since there was no more standard class tickets for the time I wanted, I was able to upgrade my seat to standard premier. My question is, will that be okay since I have a second class Eurail pass? I was able to successfully select the seat and I have the Euro star tickets but I want to make sure everything will be okay. Thank you! 

Jus trying to figure out if it’s possible to use a global pass directly from Heathrow to nord station in Paris. Any help is appreciated.

Hello, I am a student right now and I have no time to use my Interrail Global pass. Is it possible to delay my Global Pass eventhough it is has to be activated until the 13 rd of April?

Im visiting family in the UK from America, but I am a UK citizen (duo passport) and I plan to travel to and from London to Amsterdam each weekend for a month. That's 6-8 trips. Do I need a one country or Global pass? Im guessing I'm allowed to take the LNER for free to get to King's Cross, then get on the Eurostar to Amsterdam. Then I can use the trams and metro for free in Amsterdam right?  Or am I misunderstanding how it works. When I need to take the Eurostar back to UK, is that allowed on a one country pass? Because when I get back to London, I will need to take a LNER train out of London to my city, will that be an additional cost? This all confuses me a bit, on what pass to purchase and if this plan is feasible.  Thanks for your help.Edit: Forgot to add, because of brexit, does UK passport still apply to interrail? And would getting Eurorail pass be even better for this plan? I'm guessing global is best because what if I want to go to another country one time. But that's for anot

Hello! could someone tell me if the pass works to travel from hamburg to vejle/ Danmark ?

I thought I’d cracked reservations, but suddenly can’t get anywhere, so hoping someone can help…trying to reserve Wien to Venice mid-June.  The train we want seems not to be reservable for 3 people, though other departures are. Is this possible?  from Venice to Milan a few days later, Tren Italia booking system doesn’t seem to recognise our (mobile) pass numbers.  The ‘I’ help shows where to find the number on a paper pass, so wondering if that’s the issue?any guidance appreciated!

Travelling as a family in August. Final leg of our trip is Milan to Rome but no trains appearing when I search via the journey planner. Not sure if I’m in the wrong place or if tickets just haven’t been released yet?Any help gratefully received! Many thanks

is there any other way to reserve Paris-Gare de Lyon - Basel by eurail pass except for this site? According to error in this site(being not able to press ‘continue to traveler details’ button), I need to find other site for reservation

Hi,During Easter this year (2023) it is difficult to make reservations as there are railroad constructions. Last date for activation for my pass is the tenth of April, but it seems there are no trains that day to leave for Copenhagen. Can I activate the pass on the 10th, and then leave Sweden for Copenhagen on the 11th? On the 11th there are trains and it is possible to make reservations.Kind regards, Jonas

I am traveling from Istanbul to Bucharest on April 3rd on an overnight train. Does the sleeper only operate to Kalikule ? If I take the train to Sofia, does the sleeper goes to Plovdiv ? 

Hello, we are from Australia  and hoping to book our transit from Rennes to Colmar, France. There is a 50min transfer time in Paris and need to get from Gare Montparnasse to Gare de Lyon, to reconnect out travel onwards. Does anyone know know if this is easily possible in that timeframe? Or should be book a different train? Thankyou 

Just a simple thanks to the community for their advice in their posts. They have helped no end through a difficult challenge today.Regrettably we had to change next weeks plans from a 5 travel day cross-europe jaunt to a quick dash to Monaco and home (flight and hotel already paid for). Our return home will now be Nice - Lille - London - Leeds, needing those dreaded reservations for TGVs and Eurostar. Because of the advice I managed to book 2 TGVs (1 at 10 euro and 1 at 20 euro) and an early afternoon Eurostar through B-Europe (link from posts) with Pass Cover Numbers (from a link  in a post). At several points it looked hopeless with error messages and starting again but we stayed with it thanks to the advice in many posts on regular work rounds.The weirdest was on the b-europe site where it would not accept mouse clicks for selecting entries on drop down lists but would let me select with my touchscreen. That took some time (and a few choice words) to sort.We even managed to get all

Hello,I’m wanting to reserve a seat on the overnight train on 10th April 2023 from Zurich to either Prague or Budapest.  on the Eurail website it says there are no reservations available to Prague on either of the direct overnight trains. I can reserve the overnight train to Budapest however it won’t allow me to purchase as it’s a paper/post ticket and the website says it won’t arrive in time.  I can see on the OBB website that there are tickets available to Budapest, however no reservations available. It also seems the Czech train website is down at the moment. Is there another way I can make a reservation? Stressed about missing out on a seat!!  thank you!

Hi, I purchased the eurail 5 days in 1 month mobile pass. When I check Paris to London 3-Jun tickets. All tickets from 11am onward do not allow me to book through the pass as there is none available. However in rail planner app, I can assign that day as a day of travel and select a train. It creates a ticket. Does that mean its booked through rail planner and pay the reservation fees in the train?

I tried for the first time to make a seat reservation on a Norway train from Fauske to Trondheim through Eurail website and it says the reservation will be sent by post. Is it always the case for all reservations through Eurail? I understand I can make a direct reservation by calling Entur’s customer service, not online on their website, which can be expensive. The other option is to go to a staffed train station in Norway. I am concerned because I will start my trip to Europe next week. Any advise?

How much time do I need to get from Malpensa Aeroporto to Milano Centrale Station? What's the best way to go? We are flying in at 1:50pm--we want to get to Como by the evening. Thanks!

I understand that some ferry companies (e.g. Greek) allow a discount for Interrail / Eurail pass holders. Do  any companies operating ferries to Corsica also offer a discount to Interrail / Eurail pass holders?

Family of five arriving in Brussels (by air) on Apr 8th and eventually heading up to Amsterdam on Apr 12th.  While in Brussels we’d like to do a day-trip to Paris (only if we can use high speed Thalys) on the 10th and possibly Bruges on the 11th. Would it make sense to purchase Eurail for these three days of train travel?Is there a way to price out the Eurail passes with seat reservations for Paris on Thalys before purchasing the Eurail pass?Thanks in advance for the assistance!
