Get ready to travel

Hi there,I need a seat reservation for a SNCF train within france. I have read that it should be possible at b-europe with the pass cover number.But on their website there is only a form for Thalys and Eurostar trains. Therefore I can’t choose my connection. How can i do this?Thank you 

Hi,I'm planning a trip with interrail pass but I'm having some trouble in counting days. We'd like to take two trains in one day: from milan to Zurich and from Zurich to Hamburg (by night). The second train should leave Zurich at the 2nd of july but I'll come to hamburg at the 3rd. Are this two trains counting as one day of trip or two?Kind regards, Gianluca Marelli

I have a party with 2 Interail passes and 2 Eurail passes. How can I make reservations for the 4 people to be together, please? 

Hello, We want to leave with a big group (35 people) from Belgium (July 10th) to go to Slovenia. To travel in the interior of Slovenia to visit (the Vintgar gorges - lake of bled - lake of Bohinj). Then, leave from Ljubjana to go to Piran on July 21. From Piran, go to Pula on the 22nd (Croatia) and finally leave Pula on the 24th to return to Belgium. First question: does the interrail pass apply to the number of days or trips (if we travel at night for example from the 22nd at 10 PM to the 23rd at 7 AM) is it counted as 2 days or 1 trip? Second question: which pass should we take if we travel only by Interrail from Belgium to Slovenia and from Slovenia to Croatia? Last question: is it cheaper to travel within Slovenia by interrail or by other means of transportation (Flixbus, train, bus..)? Thank you for your answersÉcrire à 

If I understood the conditions correctly the Benelux Pass is valid in all three countries only if you’re not living in one of them. On other sites (e. g. https://www.acprail.com/rail-passes/interrail/interrail-benelux) it even says that you cannot buy it at all if you’re a resident of either of the tree countries. Has this been changed recently? Anyway, if you’re a resident of NL, BE or L you are still paying the same as anyone else but are only getting travel in the two other countries. Is that correct? Considering that public transit is free in Luxemburg anyway, that does not seem to be very much of a bargain, anymore. If you are a BE or NL resident you are essentially only getting travel in the respective other country since in L it is free, anyway (unless you’re using a 1st class pass, of course). Am I getting something wrong here?

Hello, there will be a mobile pass for the Greek Islands 4 days pass shortly? If not, should I wait until I get the paper pass by post to make the first ferry reservation?Also, I would like to know when I make the ferry online reservation, if I can get the boarding pass online as in a standard reservation…. or if by the contrary using the pass, the boarding pass mut be obtained phisically.Many thanks for all in advance, María 

Hello,I have a problem with my interrail app. I booked a seat reservation with the browser (and printed the confirmation on paper) but I can’t see it within the interrail app. I was signed in, so the booking should be connected to my account.Is it enough to show the printed version?How can I manage the reservations in the app? Thank you

Hi everyone.  I can´t find a trip from Slovenia through Croatia (Zagreb) -- Serbia (Begorad) - Bulgaria (Sofia) to end destination Istanbul.It doesn´t have to be this exact route. Departure in Ljubliana and arrival Istanbul only are fixed.  Is there still this covid problem, that trains can´t pass the border?Or is it a problem of interrail website? Does anyone know more here? Planing this is already quite complicated, which makes me considering doing this trip in the Balkans at all. It seems to be stressful. What do you think? Is it still worth it? Thanks, Laura   

WE have booked a number of reservations across Europe on the interail.eu site.However, when I go to the APP where I have added the PASS numbers I cannot see any of these reservations.  We are using the same login details.Its as if there is no synchronisation between APP and website. Its very frustrating and worrying as we are supposed ti be travelling in 2 weeks.What are we doing wrong as I cannot take the computer on holiday and will be relying on the APP on my phone.

Hello all. I have purchased a 5-day Eurail pass for use in May, and it is now time for me to reserve seats on certain trains that require such seat reservations.I have encountered a problem or puzzle involving booking such reservations through the Rail Planner app.The first day of travel, I must transfer between multiple trains with multiple seat reservations.The Rail Planner app consumed one of my five days for my first train trip, but now it says it will consume a second day for the second train trip, even though the second trip is still on the first day.Should I reserve the second trip or subsequent trips that day directly with the train operator, outside of the Rail Planner app? Or am I doing something else wrong?I was unable to get any help through other means, which brought me to this community forum.Thank you in advance for your help.Regards, Scott

I am wanting to take eurostar from London to Amsterdam 6/25/23 but it is blacked out. Are they sold out? Jimb

To commemorate my 50th anniversary of going inter railing my wife and I booked a months inter railing. We have found the whole thing very complicated and the cost of reservations an unpleasant surprise especially the Eurostar. But what concerns me most is that Im not sure that I can see my PASS.  I have an email that gives me our two PASS numbers but nothing that looks like a PASS or a ticket. What do I have to show a conductor??

I have a 1st Class Pass, does that mean I get to sit in first class without paying extra? 

Hello everyone,Me and my 2 friends will begin our interrail on the 29th of April, and we would like to go from Milan to Budapest on a night train on the 1st of May (18:10 until 09:02). From the interrail website we saw that we could get one by going from Milan to Zurich (EC 310) and then from Zurich to Budapest (EN 40467). After buying the interrail passes, the trains say “Prices unavailable”, and after checking multiple websites we still can’t seem to find one to actually book the tickets. Are both trains already sold out? Is there any alternative to get to Budapest?Thank you in advance.

Friends, I’m trying to book reservation for my Lausanne to Paris journey for July 03. This ticket is open and I’m able to proceed with booking on sbb.ch/en website. Eurail website is not allowing me to book the same train (TGV 9268). When I click on more information link on Eurail, it mentions the journey is bookable only 3 months in advance. Can anyone help me on this ?Thank you,Bijoy

Hello everyone, I kept reading a lot of documentations and topics here but as it’s still not totally clear (and as I don’t want to risk any problem), I allow myself to ask the question : I’m planning a trip in Italy. For the outbound journey, I want go from Napoli to Paris (where I live).The journey should be Napoli - Torino and then a connection for a second train Torino - Paris. Is the full journey (both trains) included in the outbound day ? Or do I need to keep 1 travel day for this (for the first train) ? Thank you in advance  

Hi, my self Virat jain.Me, my Wife & my daughter are traveling to Europe with Eurail pass in May 2023. My daughter date of birth is 21/9/2011. I have a doubt will she be considered in child pass as free or not. As I am not sure will she be considered as 11 year old or 12 year old.Thanks for your help 

I will be booking a mobile pass for my spouse and I for our upcoming trip. From what I’ve read here, both of our passes can be kept on one device. How would we go through scanned gates at stations with the one device with both of our passes on it, or would it be easier to have our individual passes on our own devices?When I am booking/reserving trips on my device do the booked trips automatically go to both passes, or do we need to make a separate booking/reservation for each of our passes?

Hi there I am trying to researve seat on any of Thalysis train from Brussel to AMsterdam on 10th April. However, I can’t seem to find any train on  https://www.b-europe.com/EN/Booking/Pass#Outbound for that date. There are trains on 9th and then 11th but nothing on 10th. On Eurail website, I see this. I am sure these trains are not full as on B-europe it tells you what trains are sold out for pass holders. I simply can’t see itin the list. 

Hello. Newby here. I read a lot of negative reports about using the pass on trains that need reservations, but on trains without reservations, can I just rock up to the station and go? Surely there cant be Eurail quotas on these trains. Can I just show my mobile pass to the ticker checker?
