Get ready to travel

HiI’m trying to make a seat reservation from  Paris to Tours or St Pierre Des Corps in April 2026. When going through the Eurail seat reservation system, every train from April 5th to 11th says “No price results were found. Pass holder reservations may be sold out for this connection, but there are other ways to check for available seats—more info below our timetable.” Surely not every seat for the whole week is booked out already? Or do they release seats  not until 2026 for April?Or is the system not working?Any answers welcome. ThanksJon

Hiwe just bought our first ever eurrail passes to go on a family adventure in June 26. Is there a guide to how to get set up?I’ve received the email confirming that we bought the passes, but I’m not sure if I need to do anything now about it? I’m slightly worried about activating the passes too early and then them running down. Is there a risk of doing that? Is there anything I need to do now? (I think we need to look at reserving seats in Feb - 4 months before travel. Is that right?)THanks!Ben  

Hi,I have a One Country Pass for Poland, 1st class. I have tried to make a reservation in the rail planner app / interrail website several times, but for any Intercity, EuroCity and other trains for which a reservation is (maybe) mandatory I get the message “not in pass network”. Due to the Interrail terms of use, all trains I want to go by are included in the pass, either without or with reservation and a surcharge.On the PKP Intercity website it is no problem to book a reservation. They accepted my Interrail pass number and sold me a reservation for e.g. IC 145 (Mockava-Poznan).Who is right, Interrail / rail planner app or PKP Intercity?In the community section, I could not find an answer for this problem (I have already completed a search).

We have bought 4 Day Global Pass 25% discount. We are planning to travel in May 2026. Our understanding is we can activate it in next 11 month and once activated it is valid for a month. Is our understanding correct?

I have just ordered two interrail global passes for my girlfriend and myself. On the web site (not the app!) I then tried to plan a test trip without activating the passes. Now i cannotdelete or edit the passengers (the two of us) delete the trip completelyI’m a bit wary that I have accidentally activated the two passes. What can I do?

Good evening,I am writing to you regarding ticket reservations via the Discover EU Pass.I am planning to travel to Barcelona in December (around the 19th) thanks to this opportunity.However, for several weeks now, the reservation dates have been stuck at 23 November, even though tickets on Renfe have been available for two weeks.This means that I cannot make any reservations (accommodation, activities, etc.) if I cannot book my train ticket (at least the outward journey) in advance.Thank you in advance,Thiméo M 

Hai everyone,We are from the travel committee of a small study association and we have some questions about buying a Flexi 4 day pass.We want to travel from Utrecht (Netherlands), to Nice (France), Milan (Italy) and than back to Utrecht.How does it work when booking for 25 people at the same time We want to buy the passes with the 25% off, but we don't know who is coming with us yet, so we don't know the information How can we reserve 25 seats all at once, to know we are all on the same train We don't understand how to choose and reserve specific trains, we are leaving on the 10th or 11th of April.  How much is this exactly going to cost. We saw it was around 10 euros, but than immediately got hit with 34,- minimum

Wondering if anyone has experienced this, and perhaps knows a way to work around this.During pass activation, when hitting the button ‘Start activation’, a pop-up is supposed to appear and ask for my phone security code. But it doesn't appear. This prevents me from activating my pass.If I disable the phone security, the rail planner app complains about a lack of proper security, and doesn't let me continue. Little bit stuck, and actually considering cancelling my order and quickly ordering a paper pass instead.Any ideas? 

Hi!I am ordering interrail passes. I have filled in everything and i am now at Payment.But I have not been asked to fill in passport numbers. Is that done after payment is done?Thx in advance! Rickie

Hello everyone,You probably got a lot of these questions, but I can’t seem to understand what applies in my situation. Let me simplify:On day 1, I will leave my country of residence (Belgium) towards Paris and then catch a night train (the trip begins on Day 1) to the South of France. Does this count as an outbound day or as a 1 normal day of the 4 days that I have?Thank you in advance!

I have a youth mobility visa for UK. Which pass should I be getting? It’s a e-visa so I only have an email/document as a proof not a physical one. 

 Hi we are planning on visiting the Vatican from bologna. We saw that there is a station Roma s pierta that’s closer to Vatican City. Will the euro global pass cover the train from Roma termini to Roma s pierta or we will need to buy a subway ticket? 

Hello, I'm trying to plan my journey fromw Sweden to Amsterdam, but the ICE train from Frankfurt to Amsterdam doesn't show in the railplanner app. But it is planned to go according to the NS. Can I still take this train with my interrail ticket? 

Hello Everyone,  Currently planning a trip that’ll be taking place in 3 weeks. I’ll be traveling from the Lake District (UK) to Paris Nord in one day--yes, I know it will be long journey. Currently I’m running into the issue that the seat reservations will cost anything from $95 to $76 for either 1st or 2nd class (64 and 80 Euros for the respective classes); this is specific to my Eurostar transfer in London to then Paris. Not only does this not match the reservation table per Eurail page, it also shows that all reserve-able seats are sold out. So I am very worried that i’m running out of options.  I am also extremely confused and hope that someone has experienced something similar. If the reservations for the Eurostar truly cost $76 to $95, so be it. But will I not be able to travel on my London to Paris leg of the trip if I do not have a reservation? I’ve already tried contacting Eurostar but have not received any helpful response. If anyone has any helpful guidance, it’ll be greatly

There are still direct trains from Amsterdam to Frankfurt shown on the DB app, but on the Rail Planner app they only appear until December 13, and nothing shows up after that. The strange thing is that this route doesn’t even require reservations, yet on my travel date, February 14, not even the transfer options show up—only trains that require reservations.Because of this, I’m really unsure whether I should buy a Eurail Pass. I’m worried the trains might simply not appear later either. I don’t understand why this is happening. I was planning to get the pass for flexibility, but if the trains keep not showing up, it might be cheaper to just buy individual tickets instead.  

I am planning a trip as a solo 60 year old in Jan 2026.1/24 - leave Chamonix early to travel to Interlocken OST. I want to take the Mont Blanc Express and golden pass express.1/25 - leave Interlocken for Montreux - Golden Pass Express preferred1/26 - Montreux to Gruyere and back by train1/27 - Leave Montreux  late morning to Paris, High speed train if availableWhat eurail pass should I get? Will I need to reserve a seat on Mont Blanc? Will I need to reserve a seat (first class) on Golden Pass? Will I need to reserve a seat on high speed Montreux to Paris? If I have Eurail, how do add those reservations? Any help appreciated.

I am trying to book a ticket back to Barcelona from Dusseldorf on December 26th. However, there are no trains from Dusseldorf to Paris available. How can I find available seats or an alternate route?

I’ve purchased an Interrail Monthly pass for my wife and I. She is German but a UK resident however, the pass says she is German resident. Does Interrail automatically mark you as a country’s resident just because of nationality? Or did I mistakenly mark her as German resident when I purchased. (The later seems unlikely but, I suppose, possible).

Hi, what are the exact rules for night trains?If I travel from Vienna to Stuttgart in March on the night train departing at 11:28 pm, and then continue by train to Bayonne (arriving at 6:28 pm): Will I have used up two travel days of an Interrail Global Pass, or only one day (because the border station between Austria and Germany is reached after midnight)?

Hi. Does anyone know if you can use the Interail pass (2 month) on the Madrid transit system and specifically the trains. Specifically I’m looking at the C2 and C7 services from Vicalvaro to Atacha.
