Get ready to travel

Hi, I'm in Athens and I'm going to buy a Mobile Global-pass. I do not intend to travel in Greece by train but I am getting the ferry to Italy. As far as I understand it there will be no trains running in Greece for maybe the next month. Will I still be able to use my Mobile Interrail pass for the ferry from Patras without first using it for a Train journey? 

Hey all,I want to go From Amsterdam to Zurich with IC 60403. This train departs Amsterdam 20:28 and arrives at 8:05. Does this trip use only one travel day just like NJ403? Because it isn't a Nightjet in the travel planner. Would love to hear your answers.  

My train got cancelled due to interprofessional social movement. I got a mail that I can exchange the ticket without any fee or get a refund for my seat reservation.I want to get 100% refund, how can I get it?

Hallo zusammen,ich möchte gerne mit dem Nachzug von Hamburg aus nach Stockholm fahren. Dazu müsste ich aber erst mit dem Zug nach Hamburg fahren. Würde das an meinem Reisetag im Heimatland funktionieren, mit Umstieg zu reisen?Viele GrüßeMark

I have travel with my kid, but the seat does not assign together. can we request to reallocate the seat?

Bonjour, J’ai trouvé un train Angers copenhague sur l’application railplanner, je dois faire une réservationil me diriger sur le site web interrail mais là je ne trouve pas le train 

I am looking to book the night train from Ljubljana to Zurich. I was able to reserve my 1st class ticket, but I would like to purchase the single sleeper, on May 2nd, 2023. Does anyone have any idea of how I can go about to book this? Does anyone know which railway this is, so that maybe I can book directly with them? I have also read that the train a few months ago was being worked on and that it is now done by bus, is this still true?Thank you in advance for all the help

How can I reserve a train and sleeper berth before I depart for Europe?

Hi! I'm planning to travel from Zurich to Ljubliana at the end of April (and then return to Zurich a week-ish later). I want to get a bed in a shared compartment for this journey. Do these fill up fast? Should I book now, a month in advance, or can I wait until a week or two prior to my departure date?Thanks!

When I search for reservations for 28 December, lots of booking times appear, but for each one, a red exclamation mark appears with the following statement Not available from Eurail.comThis seat reservation can’t be booked on our website. Check 'More information' for other ways to book.I have tried to click - More Information and the solutions it offers, do not work either.Is this related to the current rail strike?Or is there some other issue I am unaware of?I am trying to use my eurail pass from Australia.Getting worried that we will not be able to get there!thank you! 

If I purchase a 1month pass is that good only from beginning of the month to the end, or if I start Dec 8 is it good til January 8?

Hello,  I am travelling from Rome to Dublin in May/June and have my route mapped out and pass booked. I am curious about the supplements.  I know the routes I’ll take but the times I take them might vary. Can I pre-purchase supplements to save the extra fee of purchasing on board and extra time of waiting at the station, and have those supplements be used for any time, or is it route AND time specific?  thank you,KrisDean

In another thread I shared how I ended up paying 362 euros for an Excelsior Class ticket from Sicily to Rome. Having done so, my wife and I were expecting relatively high comfort. We had travelled in a “deluxe” compartment on the way down but this was supposed to be one notch better, and we’d even be served prosecco when boarding!Instead this turned out to be the worst night train experience I have ever had. The compartment was terribly hot, there was no a/c (none that was functioning anyhow) and there was no way to regulate the temperature inside the compartment. We had the same experience on the way down and the attendant that time managed to turn the temp down a little bit (presumably for the whole car). The attendant this time fidgeted a little bit with the volume knob (!) inside the cabin and then retorted to say that there was nothing he could do. The whole night hot air was flowing out of the heater and it felt like sleeping inside a sauna. But that wasn’t all. The heat was acco

Hiya,Sorry (1st time user) I have purchase my Eurail Global passes, I am logged in, I am looking at booking seat reservations (for July), the departure time options on the left side of screen are each titled ‘seat reservations required’ and there is a from price listed.Do I assume correctly this is the additional seat reservation fee and not the price of the train ticket? as I am already logged in (& I thus assume being logged in the system should recognise that I have a Eurail global pass paid for)….The first leg Milan to Sion - references needing to buy a seat reservation to board, but in red writing states “Prices unavailable, no prices found etc etc” Eurail says this leg should be bookable upto 180days in advance. I believe this is a trenitalia train (EC 50) Eurocity,When I goto the TrenItalia website, this train schedule for July is not yet available.Would peoples experience be that Prices unavailable popup is due to the train schedule being not yet released…., or sold out….?

I am trying to book a train from Venice - Munich on https://www.oebb.at/en/I can’t book a seat reservation on the train 13.35 - 20.26. I rather have one since I am going in the summer and traveling with a young child.The page is bit confusing, if I put in my interrail card and click on purchase a day ticket a price of 10 Euros comes up. What is this price for, if it is not for a seat? If you click seat option only, it says, not available?I then went through the process of purchasing a ticket without a interrailcard, it doesn’t seem to be an option for a seat reservation here either?Does anyone know which one to purchase? Many ThanksAnna   

My family and I needed to leave Sicily tomorrow and we saw that there was only Excelsior class tickets left. Inter City Notte tickets are known to be difficult to reserve online, we couldn't find any method to do so, and I was advised to go to a ticket office. Did so in Taormina and was informed that the cabin was first class and couldn't be booked with a 2nd class Interrail card. Is this correct? On ÖBB trains for example, all classes are available for passholders. We needed to travel on that date so ended up buying a full price ticket at 362 euros.

Hi everyone, I want to reserve seats for Barcelona - Freiburg for the 12, 13 or 14 of August.I am new to Interrail. In the past I’ve done the route Barcelona - Freiburg, but SCNF keeps making things complicated.I used to do Barcelona - Paris and then Paris - Freiburg but, the TGV Paris - Freiburg doesn’t show up anymore.Also, I don’t understand how should I reserve a seat with SCNF? I have bought the Interrail Global pass. I read on this forum I have to call them? Is there an online way to book this?The Interrail website gives me reservation prices but when I click on each option the price disappears and there’s no booking option. Also the price is quite high, like 48€. Is that usual?Also RENFE says they will have AVEs Barcelona - Lyon before summer, but they are still not rolling. Any help on how to do Barcelona - Freiburg by train and on how to get SNCF seat reservations will be welcomed😊

Hi all.I checked the information about German Rail Pass.It said I can use ANY DB train in the pass.Here is the question. I hope to go to Praha, Czech. And there is a DB train to go Praha.But the information about the other countries that pass can be used, there’s no Czech or Praha in that.There is only Austria, Belgium, Italy and Switzerland.In this case, Can I use the pass in Praha? or are those countries only I can go with the pass?And if it’s possible to use the pass in Praha, can I use it in Praha as departure also?If anyone knows about this problem, please let me know the answer.Thank you.

Hi I recently just booked a 4 bed couchette for the Berlin > Zurich night train. I booked for 3 people, which include myself (male) and my two friends (females). I just have a couple questions:  Will we be sharing the same couchette? It says we are in the same coach but have different accommodation numbers (please see attached photo for screenshot of ticket)   If ÖBB tries to segregate males and females, will we be separated? If not, what will happen with 4th spot in the couchette if there are both a male and females already in the couchette? Any help would be appreciated, thanks :)

Using the rail planner app, I can load up all my choices of train times, But there is a message that says “No Seat Reservations Required”.  Since there is no button on the page for purchasing seats (1st class) it only lets me save it in “My Trips”.    I’m confused about how I make reservations, even when not required, and how do I get whatever tickets I need to board (besides my Eurail pass)?   I am very confused.  And old.   And maybe not bright.  

Hi there, I’ve tried navigating other peoples Q & A’s, but not sure about getting all the right answers, here goes”I have purchased 5 x Eurail global passes for my family members, who are travelling together initially, but later splitting up and travelling our own ways.Can i prebook trips and reserve seats collectively for all passes, before allocating passes to each persons device……   & can i do this on my computer, or does this process only work through the app….Or do I need to allocate passes to each device first & then do we all have to book trips & seat reservations seperately - hoping that we can still book at the same time & ensure we have seats together??I assume this process of booking trips and seat reservations, does not mean we have to ‘activate our passes yet?’ Assuming we only have to activate our pass on the day we actually travel (have booked to travel)cheers

Just started my trip and have been stuck in Nimes for 3 days as French trains seriously on strike and continuing. Any one got any idea how I can get to Port Bou and into Spain - every route I try is cancelled as they don't seem to be letting anyone across border.nightmare,

Hello,I’m trying to book a traintrip this summer and want to go back and forth from Belgium to Bolzano . I see that the one country pass Germany also includes Brussels - Cologne and the trip to Bolzano. But can I use the One Country pass Germany as a a Belgian resident in Belgium? The rule states that you cannot use a One Country pass from your own country, but this is a One Country pass for Germany… Does anyone know this?Thank you,Tanja   

Hi! Just started organising our trip and were looking into night trains from Florence-Vienna. However, there appears to be no availability at all throughout July and August. Are these all booked out or do the trains simply not run at this time?Thanks for any help!
