Does the 7 days travel within 1 month have a outbound and inbound ticket for my own country? 

Hi everyone, I have an interail global pass and am wanting to book a couple of seat reservations on longer journeys.  One journey is the 8.28am Wien HBF to Munich on 28 July and the other is Buchloe 9.36am to Zurich Hb on 1st August.It looks like it’s 9euros to use DB for reservations or 12euros to use OBB - am I doing it correct? (it’s for 2 adults and 2 kids) I’ve booked the DB one already (seat reservation only) from Buchloe to Zurich. I didn’t need to enter anywhere that I have an interrail pass - is this right? Juat thought I’d check before I make the reservation for the Wien to Munich train using DB. Thanks in advance!

Hi! My friend and I are flying from the Netherlands to Rome. From Rome we want to travel by train with an interrailpass. The route is: Rome-La Spezia- Milan- Paris- Amsterdam. We already are in Rome then, does that mean we need a pass for 4 days in 1 month? 

Hi There,All advice  appreciated- I’m a first timer!  I bought 2 x global mobile passes for my daughter and I & we loaded them on our respective phones. I haven’t activated either yet. I’m doing all the bookings, but how do i do them for both of us if her pass is on her phone? Can I add her pass back to my phone if the purchase of both passes was made by me?  Thank you in advance  

I'm trying to figure out how the eurorail system works. We are getting a month unlimited pass and I'm seeing that some people are talking about making reservations. Does that still apply to me? Can l night travel with my first class without a reservation?  Thank you

We are two seniors from Canada who will arrive in Southampton on September 8 (after completing a cruise) and wish go from Southampton (presumably via London) to Paris on the same day.  We can depart Southampton by 9 AM.  After getting to Paris and spending a couple of days, we wish to train from Paris on September 11 and go to Luxemburg.  Then, after a river cruise, we wish to go from Basel to Lucerne on September 19 and then, the next day on September 20 from Lucerne to Zurich.  We do recognize that, after purchasing the pass, we need to separately purchase reservations.  Are there agents who can do all this for us?  Any assistance would be appreciated. Ross and Maureen

Als je een stoelreservering boekt via de interrail website, krijg je het ticket aangetekend opgestuurd naar je huisadres. Volgens mij is het niet mogelijk om een eticket te krijgen.Ik heb verschillende reserveringen geboekt en de tickets ontvangen.Echter hoe doe ik het als ik tijdens mijn reis een stoelreserveringwil boeken?Hartelijk dank, Dick

Hello,I just booked a Paper Ticket (I need the ticket for a trip which will start at 1 April 2023). During the Payment Process the estimated delivery dated showed “28 March 2023” which would have been close, but probably fine. However, at checkout the estimated date of delivery had postponed to 7 April 2023 (which would render the ticket useless for me). Of course, at checkout it is too late to change anything.Most important Question: How can I proceed from here? In order to use the mobile pass I would have to buy a new Smartphone (mine doesn’t support iOS 13). The Paper Ticket will probably be late. Moreover, I probably cannot return the Paper Ticket in Time, because I will not be at home then. Is there any other way to obtain and use a ticket in time for the journey? Is it still possible to get a full 100% refund for the ticket (for the different estimated of delivery are quite deceptive), not the usual 85% refund?Any help would be highly appreciated!All the best, thomas 

If I purchase 2nd class ticket (mobile pass), can I pay addition for upgrading to 1st class?

Hi, just checking my understanding re a 7 days in a month ticket - if my outbound trip starts with an overnighter and then I complete it with a second leg starting in the morning, does that use up 2 days travel? I expect it does!  Thanks

I have two Interrail passes and made a booking for a Eurostar using the wrong pass.Is there anyway to change the pass number for this reservation? Or is it not necessary?Thanks for your suggestions and help!Sibylle

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?

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.

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
