Get ready to travel

Bonjour comment on sait le prix net pour un trajet lorsque l’on a pas encore acheté le pass, je souhaite prendre l’eurostar mais c’est marqué à partir de 30€.Comment on sait le vrai prix ?

Hi there, My family and I are due to travel on Easter Sunday into Milan. We have an Interrail PassThe seat reservation site has said that seat reservations are not required (open seating) on this journey. However, I assume this day will be a busy travel day. Is it best to trust that there will be pass seats available and just turn up in the day? Or is it best to try and book travel with the train operator directly to guarantee seats? Thanks for your advice!

Hi, me and my girlfriend would like to make the trip from Oslo to Bodo in July 2026.We were lookin at the option of getting the night train from Oslo to Trondheim and then the daily train from Trondheim to Bodo.Only problem is the connection is only 50 minutes and there is only one Trondheim-Bodo train per day.Would you reckon the connection is safe enough? Or do we have a serious risk of being stranded in Trondheim for 24 hours?On one hand these seem to be 2 trains kinda made for each other and I would therefore imagine they may wait one another. On the other hand the refund policy sets a 60 minutes timeframe for the delay, for these 2 lines only (all the rest is 30 minutes), which they say you have to consider when planning your trip.Thank you in advance for any help Have a good travelling year!

Some info for people traveling on Rhatische Bahn between Chur - St Moritz - Tirano.Hi, this is just to let you know that I observed new? restrictions on the rhatische bahn, which i haven’t experienced earlier.This morning I was planning to take the RE train from Tirano to Chur, which i’ve done many time. And i didn’t have a reservations, because it’s not compulsory and I relied on the 1st Class Pass.But this time, a queueing system was in operation where you first have to get boarding cards for the train. Waiting time: about 2 trains, (2 hours). (Actually I think the EU passenger rights would apply here)So, please note that you can’t rely on actually taking the train you had in mind, and making your connections, when traveling on RE 9 or R9 of ratische bahn from one of the terminus stations. The new queuing system could be in operation….In the end I walked to the next station, and took the next train from there… (Here I am talking about the regular trains, not the Bernina Express)  

I want to travel from Brussels MIdi to Amsterdam Centraal in March.  When I enter my Global Pass information it says the trains are free.   This means that I am blocked from making a reservation. I would like to confirm my seats.  How do I do this?Also, how long should i typically need to transfer trains in the same station? 

Hi! i wanna go from Utrecht to Kopenhagen on the 4th of January. But im not sure what to do with my reservation on the ICE from hamburg to KPH, so any help would be nice:)) there are two options:Option 1 is at 14:47, interrail says a reservation is not needed, but DB says the train is fully booked (so i cant make a reservation anyway), can I still board the train? and just sit somewhere and hope for the best? Via the interrail site, i can however still make the reservation, so that would also be an option? (although it feels weird that I can make a seat reservation via interrail but not Db’s?) The second option is the ICE at 16:49. Interrail says I need a seat reservation for that one, and DB says that I can still book the seat via their website. My preference would be option 1 bc my partner is taking that train, but he already has a seat reserved. I guess I can always go for option 2 but was wondering what my prospects are at option1 . ANy help is appreciated, thanks:) also small side

I have an interrail pass and I'm travelling with a friend who has a Eurorail pass, how can we ensure we reserve train seats together on our journeys?

I have the Eurail pass for my family of 4 and I had uploaded all passes to the app with start date later this summer. Then I went to wesbite to book our seats for a train leaving on June 1st. However, all the times I selected won’t highlight “add to cart.’ Does that mean I’m trying to book too far in advance, but the schedule table is too far out? OR is it because there’s an asterisk saying there are limited seats? I have 1st class passes, is it not feasible to book for all four of us at once? TIA!

Hey,would be cool to make a collection of routes/companies where you wouldn’t expect that Interrail is valid.I am starting with:Citybahn Chemnitz: on the trams with C before the digits you can use your Interrail also on the innercity tram. ATTENTION: it is not on the tramlines valid, that use exactly the same route which are operated by CVAG. Trambahia (Cadiz): it is operated by RENFE so you can use your Interrail pass. But you should get a ticket ahead from the ticket office in Cadiz. If you are boarding at a non-manned station I don’t know how it works.Looking forward to more interesting opportunities ;-)

Where i Rail Planner do you delete a journey?

Hi Interrail,This is just to let you know that scanning the interrail mobile doesn’t like seem be working on Trenitalia trains in Sicilia. Has been like this for the last couple of days, for me at least…Unfortunately, every year I use the mobile pass, it’s necessary to explain train staff that the app doesn’t work properly. But this time, it has been working fine outside of Sicilia luckily. 

Ola viajantes! estou recem chegando no mundo das viagens de trem e estou meio perdido😁 preciso saber qual o melhor passe para 39 dias de viagem pela europa, sem limite de número de viagens e sem saber muito por onde passarei. Só sei que chegarei em Amsterdan em 10/03/2026 e retornarei por Roma 39 dias depois. Qual a melhor alternativa custo-benefício? Qq dica será bem vinda!

I have an unactivated pass whose last possible activation date was in November. I bought it in December 2024 under refund policy version 7, which provides for a 6 month period after last possible activation date to request a refund. I had purchased the Refund protection option which allows for a total refund except the cost of the option. Yet when I go to the respective order’s details page, the “Return your pass” button is not there, unlike for more recent passes that I bought on 17 December this year. How to request the refund?

Hi,We are a family of 2adults & 2 kids traveling in Europe this coming January.  I booked a train on 6Jan to travel London to St Avre La Chambre for skiing.  Traveling Eurostar. I have had to book 2 tickets, London to Lille Europe, then Lille to St Avre La Chambre.  Can someone let me know do you need to pass through immigrations/customs in Lille or is this all done in London?  We have a very small connection window in Lille, like 28mins. ChatGPT told me you just walk off the train in Lille no immigration to go through.  Anyone know if this is correct?  I certainly hope so.  Thank you. 

I opened an account in my name. Then ordered two global plus passes for partner and I. we both downloaded the app and she loaded her pass using the code. We then planned a trip and made several reservations on trains while logged in as me on the website. These appeared on my app but not on hers. How do we get the reservation details to her phone? She does not have her own interrail account as yet. Should she just log in using my details? 

Hi guys!Would be nice to have a collection of wrong (or missing) information on the Railplanner App.I will start:IC/IR/EC Switzerland<->Domodossola: The app says a reservation is required. Actually there is none required. Just if you continue to/from Domodossola from other Italian destinations, a reservation is needed…  EN (München/Zürich)-Salzburg-Budapest: The EuroCity part of this train is not shown in the app. With the EC carriages you can travel without a reservation between Salzburg and Budapest. For many EC/RJ trains between Budapest and Vienna it says that a reservation is required. That’s not true. Only for domestic trips INSIDE Hungary (e.g. Budapest-Györ) a reservation is required (which can be easily done on a ticket machine at the station or also online). For many trains on the Bludenz-Bregenz line it says “not in pass network” if they are coming from Schruns. This is due to Montafonerbahn being not part of the railpass (Bludenz<->Schruns), but on the stretch B

How do I know which end of a train is first- vs second class?

I purchased a rail pass yesterday but never got the email so I can’t book any seat reservations. I’ve emailled support but they say 2 days before I can expect a response.I’m freaking out because some of the trains I need to book are already showing sold out in some time slots. Is there any way I can contact someone from the company?

We plan to travel round-trip from Amsterdam to Düsseldorf using a Eurail Global Pass.When we check the Rail Planner app, the travel time is shown as about 4 hours with transfers. However, on the official DB website, a direct train is shown with a travel time of about 2 hours. The results are very different.Since we are required to show the QR code in the Rail Planner app when boarding, we would like to ask:Are we allowed to take the direct train that does not appear in the Rail Planner app, or can we only use the trains shown in the app?Thank you very much for your assistance.Kind regards,

We organized our trip but when we started to book the seat reservations it was indicated fully booked. Pls find other way to book.What can we do. Is it only full for pass holders?

How can I get an Interrail Global Pass Adult for a certain month (July 2026)? Or isn’t that possible?

I had the most unforgettable europe trip at the start of this year. I utilised the eurail pass which made travelling just that bit more special. The trains are something else and the efficacy makes it great! There is something special about being able to hop on a train in another country and being able to turn up to another one in 3 hours or more. I also got engaged in prague, and a little sotry about this is my partner organised everything without my knowledge and without this train pass the engagement would never of occurred! Thank you eurial for making my trip extraordinary, I will continue to use this in the future when travelling europe ❤️ 

When travelling by train we often get bored because it is a long time in the same position. However, you can make your journey way too pleasant. Here are some tips you can find useful for your next trip!!!🎧 Entertainment TipsMake a “Train Tracks” PlaylistCreate a playlist specifically for your journey—include train-themed songs, chill tracks for scenery gazing, and upbeat ones for arrival excitement. (e.g., “Midnight Train to Georgia,” “City of New Orleans,” or even train ASMR.) Bring a Book With a Train in it ​​​​​​​Reading “Murder on the Orient Express,” “The Girl on the Train,” or even “The Polar Express” while on a train adds meta layers of enjoyment.Download a Railway Scanner App or Route GuideSome train lines have enthusiast apps or unofficial guides showing landmarks, tunnels, and hidden trivia along your route.Start a “Train Log” JournalRecord quirky things: people watching notes, meals you eat, conversations overheard (respectfully!), and scenery descriptions. Add a sketch or

I will be using my mobile for everything trip related but also like a book for browsing, before , during and after a trip.I see many of them, but is there one that balances practical train advice, city/destination info etc? When I look , many of them seem to be on the lines of ‘25 must do train journeys’ , which is not really what I want.Any pointers appreciated, thanks
