Hi,My husband is a dual citizen (SWE and PH), and we’ve both been living in the Philippines.We’ve read the rules about getting Eurail vs Interrail passes but we’re still a bit confused and want to be sure.I’m certain that I need the Eurail pass as I’m not an EU-citizen nor resident. But which pass should my husband purchase? If he buys a Eurail pass, can he still use his Swedish passport to travel between countries? Reason I’m asking is a Philippine passport requires visas while his Swedish passport does not.And if he does purchase the Eurail pass, what type of “proof of residency outside of EU” is acceptable?Thanks!

Anyone here who have travelled from Sofia to Istanbul lately? Im trying to reserve a seat on this route, but the page says that's temporalry not possible. Does anyone know why? And is it possible to reserve the ticket in Sofia? Or do I even need a reservation? Help:)

Good evening. I have a question for my first trip in the night. If a take a night trains from Roma to wien and arrive next day. Will i use my for two days travel?

1- I have to book some trains in august from Paris to Lisbon, when will be possible to book that trains? 2- Are there any available trains from Madrid to Lisbon?

Hello everyone!Can someone help me find a journey from Rotterdam to Rome? I want to leave on the 7th on July and arrive in Rome the next day (8th of July). What is the best route I can take that I can book right now.I have a 21-day interrail global pass. Thanks in advance :)Regards,Julian

Hi!I’m in the following position: I have a 4-days-in-a-month global pass, my home country is Germany. I have used one outbound/inbound journey on one travel day to Italy. Traveling back I will go from Bologna to Munich and from Munich to Frankfurt. But the Munich-Frankfurt bit is after midnight so I need to buy a separate ticket because I’ll already use the second outbound/inbound trip for Kufstein-Munich. Now, my question is: Could I do the reverse too? Use my pass for Bologna-Kufstein and buy a separate ticket on oebb for Kustein-Munich (which would cost less than Munich-Frankfurt) and use the outbound/inbound for Munich-Frankfurt on the additional travel day? Or is this not possible because I wouldn’t cross the border on the additional travel day? I ask this because there’s the real possibility I won’t use that extra travel day that I would use for Munich-Frankfurt anyway. Thanks in advance!!

Hello everyone,I’ m having some trouble booking tickets from Zuerich HB to Rome Termini on July 8th. I am able to see these tickets on the Trenitalia website, but not in the eurrail app. The train times in July also differ from the schedule in June, is this because of a schedule change or is this not up to date yet. If anyone could help me out that would be awesome!Regards,Julian

I made a reservation with OBB for tickets from Munich to Genova, and I am not sure if it is what I think it is. The printed tickets are all German, and I have translated some, and see it does say I paid with a credit card, but I don’t see where the times or train numbers are. I emailed OBB customer service, and there are ticket numbers and a QR code in what I printed, but I can’t figure out where on the ticket where it gives  the info I need. I printed out a time table, but I don’t remember where that came from. I can’t find anything on the OBB sute to check a reservation, or to change a reservation. And if I remember, it gave a place to enter our Eurail pass numbers.  

Hi Guys,for context, im talking about an interrail ticket with time limitation here, so like the any train for 1 month ticket.So lets say i took a train from Amsterdam to Paris, do i have to board my next train in Paris, or if not Paris, france? Or could i, for example, meet some friends in Paris, travel with them to Madrid in one of their cars, and then board a train from Madrid like a week later?

Hi,My starting point is ZurichI have several questions about connections. Is there a direct train connection from Zurich to Belgrade? What is the fastest connection from Belgrade to Thessaloniki? Like in my picture (Belgrade, Sofia, Thessaloniki) or are there faster connections? How do I get from Thessaloniki to Istanbul by train or do I have to take the bus? 

Do passholders get any discount on the Lauterbrunnen-Grutschalp cable car?  How about the Lake Thun ferries?

Hi...Thanks for reading….So here is the core of my question.Myself (M) and a friend (F) may travel together this summer.   Each of us if I am correct will buy their own Global Pass.   And if i understand this correctly...we can add their ticket to our pass pretty easily.However, there are times where we will want to share a double on the night train.   Which means we need to book the double at the same time for 2 different people. (two different Global Pass numbers).How is this arranged in the mobile app?  Is it even possible?What does one do if we both want to be in the same night cabin, but are starting out with 2 different Global Passes?Thanks -paul 

I am having a terrible time trying to contact customer service.  No telephone numbers or email address, no response on twitter or chat… :( I just booked interrail tickets for my family yesterday and chose mobile passes as I thought it would be easier and we don’t have much time for them to be posted, but didn’t realise that the passes can’t be moved from devices.  During the two months my husband and I will be travelling separately with our children at different points so we have a problem.  I need to see if I can switch to paper passes but we leave next week so it is now quite urgent, hence why I am getting frustrated at the inability to reach any sort of customer service.  Does anyone know an email address or telephone number that works?  Thank you!  And happy travels!

Hi, if I have booked an interail pass why do I have to pay more to book my seat in most of trains? Can I book only the journeys and don’t buy a pass?

Hi community!We plan to go to Switzerland and Italy next week. We have a 2month pass. I’ve read a lot of the comments in the forum and I would like to ask someone to look over my shoulder to see if I making any thinking errors.I get on the train in Germany and leave Germany on the same day. When the conductor comes I show him the Interrail app with QR code. My wife shows her own app. Correct?On every day I travel I add a trip. If I hop off the train, I can continue the same day and just add a new trip. Correct?If I make a trip in Italy, I add a trip in the Rail planner and I make a seat reservation in the ÖBB app. I pay the reservation with paypall. If the conductor comes, I show the Interrail app and then I open  the ÖBB app for the reservation. Correct?On our way back to Germany, I plan the night train from Innsbruck. It’s important to travel this last piece in Germany on one day. Correct?If I go to the Netherlands, I plan to go accross the border on my own costs ( I live only 10 mil

Hello,The interrail rules are saying that I only have to use one in- or outbound journey when I travel by night train. The date of departure is the evening when the night train departs. Does the in- or outbound journey still counts when I take, after the night train, other trains during the day of arrival by night train? For example: I leave on Saturday evening and arrive on Sunday morning by night train. On Sunday I travel further with other trains. Does those other trains still count as the inbound journey? Thank you for answering!Kristoff 

I am looking at the map of eurail routes and need to know if there is a short route from Faro, Portugal to Sevilla, Spain. I don't see one on the map but these cities are so close! We want to visit both and in order to get to faro to Sevilla it would be a very long journey back to Lisbon, Madrid, and then Sevilla.Or we have to rent a car which would be fine but to rent a car in one country and leave it in another is very expensive. Does anyone have experience with traveling between these smaller cities? And what might be the best practice?  

Hi! Ik heb een Interrail pas. 3 maanden lang Europa.Op 29 maart zal ik deze voor het eerst gebruiken voor een retour naar Basel (terug 2 april). Vanaf Amsterdam via de nachttrein. Nu wil ik ook naar London met Eurail. Ik wil vanaf Amsterdam of Rotterdam met deze internationale trein. In mei wss.Maar ik zie op de website dat je maar één keer het land uit en in mag rijden. Hoe werkt dat in de praktijk?

We are planning a two-month trip through Europe for this summer. We’ve activated our Global passes because we know our first date of train travel. However, we can’t add actual trips yet (for some mysterious  reason), so we’re adding them manually. But how do those manually entered trips turn into trips that will be honored once we start using the passes?This system is extremely confusing, and we’re hoping for some really helpful guidance.Kate Sibley

Hi There,I am a Chinese and I work for a German company in China. However I have gotten the permenanent residence in Germany (Niederlassungerlaubnis). I will travel to Germany soon and am not sure which type of ticket should I choose? If I buy Eurail, do I need to show a visum as well? Thank you very much. Best RegardsGodfrey

Hello, I am trying to book the Night Jet sleeper cabin for my family of 4 on July 24th 2023 form Salzburg to Paris. Are they already sold out? I've tried a few different combinations but nothing allows me to purchase tickets.  

Hi,I’m Singapore and we will be spending days in Italy and Swiss. do I need a Global Pass? Or just book a 4 days pass for one month?  

we have purchased a 2 month global Eurail pass for Spain & Portugal, Our trip begins in Spain on June 1st 2023. All accommodation bookings have been made so we know exactly on what dates we’ll be traveling from city to city in Spain and Portugal .Our question is regarding seat reservations. We’re aware that seat reservations cannot be booked online for these countries & need to be made either at a ticket office or at the station.We arrive Madrid 1st June & wish to take train straight to Cordoba. Do we run any risk of not being able to make a seat reservation when we arrive in Spain? Because of time of year we’re concerned we won’t get on the train. Is there some way we can secure a booking before arriving in Madrid?We are currently in New Zealand and will be the UK from the 10th May.Any help much appreciated
