Get ready to travel

Hello i m planning to purchase 10 days pass SPRING SALE: Get 10% off Passes until March 21. but my traveling dates are from 2nd May..  is it fine if i can purchase the Eurail pass now and can use it from 2nd pay onwards? 

I am worried my flight will late, should I reave the seat ? Or waiting until arrive the destination then go to reservation?

My route from Naples to Florence doesn’t show on the Trainitlaia site, but still show in the interrail app. I usually look in the official sites to check trains are on time but am I using the correct site to be checking this if it’s not showing?   

HiI’m leaving for a trip on Friday. It is the first time I will use an Eurorail Pass. I could use a little help to understand how I will be able to activate my pass/trip. Because I never did this before and also because unfortunately, my phone got damaged, so I had to get a new one. On the new phone, I got the app. I also got my passes (from me and my son) - I could move them to the app on the new phone. But I can not see the seat reservations that I made and paid. I have the seat reservations on paper. But I have no idea how to activate a pass without seat reservations in my app.Looking forward to some advice, thanks in advance!Marion  

Hello dear community,the question came up a few times, but I still need help.In Summer, I am on tour with our scout group to Sweden and want to book reservation for Swedish trains. But for most of the stuff I get the above-mentioned message.This happens for example for Koeln to Uppsala on the 18.07 or the 25.07. etc.I also can only use the interrail site, because I ordered paper passes (we try to use our smartphone not, if possible in our scout group), but since they haven’t arrived yet, I do not know the number of the passes.Is there any possibility to fix this issue or get the pass numbers early?Thank you :) 

How can I book a seat ticket for wheelchair users in France? I can't find a site on the web where I can do this. Is there a phone number I can use where they speak English?

Hi,I am planning for travel in May/June with the following itinerary:29/05 : Paris - Ams (Pass Day 1)  (80 without)31/05 : Ams-Freiburg Nightjet (Pass Day 2  + 35 Eur)  (100 without)2/06 : Freiburg to Interlaken  (without pass 35)3/06 : Jungfrau trip (Pass Day 3 + 178 Eur)  (238 without)4/06 : Interlaken to Chur (Pass Day 4)  (52 without)5/06: Bernina Express to Tirano then Milan (Pass Day 5)  (75 without)As it stands, I save around 60 euros with the 5 day pass (due to the sale). However, I have not taken into consideration the reservation costs for day 1 and day 4. Do you guys think that the 5 day EURail global pass is worth it for me ?

I am looking to book Interrail reservations on Polish domestic trains, within the 30 day window and via the PKP Intercity website, but the Interrail option in the discount drop-down list is missing. What am I doing wrong? Thank you in anticipation.

Hi guys :)My dad and I are travelling through Europe from the 2nd June. I heard it’s recommended to book train rides up to 12 weeks beforehand. How can I do this without activating the passes yet? When I look up train rides theres only an option to save to journey but not actually book them. Or do we not have to book train rides that don’t require seat reservations? Can you not book without activating pass online? I’m a bit confused.Also we are travelling from Naples to Pisa at one point and when I look up that trip on that date there is no trains at all? Is that normal or is it too early?

Hello Eurail Experts,I am planning to travel from Rome to Venice. I already reserved the seats for Rome to Venice. As a plan B, I would like to visit Pisa and board the same train from Florence. Is this allowed in Trenitalia FRECCIAROSSA. Will my seat reservations still valid if I board at Florence instead of Rome?Thanks in advance! 

Hi travellers, To my interrail trip i was going to go from venezia S. Lucia to Vienna Centrale, but when i go to buy the seat reservations it tells me it inst available, i also have seen for some other days but it happens all the  time, if someone could help figure it out I would very much appreciate it. The day I was planing to go from venezia S.Lucia to vienna Centrale was on the 14 of august and the time of departure was at 21:05 and arrival time at 06:05. Thanks :)

We are planning to travel on the overnight train from Amsterdam to Zurich on the 9th August.  I would like to reserve seats but it says ‘no seat reservation required, you can buy a seat reservation if you like but it’s not required’.  How do we reserve a seat?  When you click on the message, nothing happens.

Hello everybody!Newbie question regarding Eurostar from Paris to London…Planning on taking the last train from Paris Nord to London St Pancras (ES9063) departing at 21:13 hrs. My flight into Paris arrives approximately 18:00 hrs whch gives me only about 3 hours including customs, baggage collection & transport from CDG to Paris Nord. Can someone tell if that will be cutting it too close to catch the last train (ES9063)?Also, what is the check-in closing time for Eurostar? If it makes any difference, I am in France on an Indian passport; travelling on UK Tourist/Schengen Visa and a Global Eurail Pass. Thanks in advance for your time… 

Hello. I am trying to reserve a seat going from Lyon Part Dieu to Bruxelles-Midi using Eurail Pass. However, somehow, I cannot find a way to use a pass to reserve in the website. When looked into the reservation site on Eurail, the site only appeared as “seat reservation required” not as ‘Prices Unavailable” error. Is there any way I can use the pass for the reservation? Thank you

Hello all! Very new to all this, but I’ve had absolutely no luck paying for seat reservations at all. The only leg of my journey I can’t afford to use the “no seat reservation” filter is from Amsterdam to London (travelling on 13th or 14th April). I thought a couple of weeks in advance would have been enough, but am I being completely naïve?! I would have thought there’d at least be some potential to get a ticket… Any words of wisdom around this would be greatly appreciated, before I go ahead and book a flight (boo).

Hello everyone!!How can I present my mobile pass during the visa application? Is there a paper for it? Some kinda proof?

Hello everyone….Good day.I have already purchased the Eurail Pass for me and my family. However, I will be grateful if anyone kindly clarify the following aspects related to seat reservation:Can I do reservation online? If so, what is that link and how to do that and get the reservation confirmation? Can I do the reservation from any station? I mean for example, I need the reservations for MILAN to INTERLAKEN for 10th APRIL. Now can I do the reservation from Roma Termini station on 8th/9th April by going there physically? I need another reservation for ZURICH to PARIS for 12th April. Now can I do that reservation from ZURICH HB station on 11th April by going there physically? Suppose, I have done the reservation for a particular train on a particular time table. However, if I miss that time and want to catch up another train on the same destination on the same day on a different time table, will my previously purchased reservations will do? Or I need to purchase again? If I need to pur

Hello, I am planning on traveling from Interlaken to Grindelwald and then Grindelwald to Lauterbrunnen and then Lauterbrunnen back to Interlaken. I am aware that the Eurail Global Pass offers a 25% discount when traveling from Interlaken to Grindelwald, but will it offer the discount for my trips from Grindelwald to Lauterbrunnen and then Lauterbrunnen back to Interlaken?I think I know the answer, but I just wanted to be careful extra as a first-time visitor to Europe.  Thank you very much!
