Get ready to travel

Bonjour, je serais intéressée pour faire un tour de l'Italie en aout 2023 mais lorsque je souhaite réserver les trajets en trains aucuns sont disponibles. Or sur la période de janvier il y a beaucoup de propositions, est ce trop tôt ou il y a t’il moins de trajets en saison estivale ? 

Hi we are travelling from Milan airport to Milan central. Moving on to Florence, then Rome, then ,Venice and back to Milan central to make our way to the airport again. Staying in each place for 2 nights. Total of 9 nights but 8 days travelling. Does the interail pass cover all of these destinations and would it be suitable. Don't want to get caught with extra charges etc.  Any information really appreciated. Ty 

Hi - after people thoughts...We need to change TGV and Eurostar reservations from 7 Jan to 8 Jan due to issues with onward travel in the UK on 7 Jan (strike). I contacted customer support as I’d really like to not loose the fees paid already (and having to pay them again with new reservations). A bit warry of the response time - high volume and now holidays too - and some enquiries will be more urgent with folks traveling now. Wondering about going ahead cancelling and rebooking now while there is still availability, and try to deal with fees seperatly ? Or do we have to totally forget about the fees anyway? If we stay in London on the 7th (not ideal as wasn’t planning to pay hotel), we can’t use the pass on 8th for our onward travel (and final destination, where we need to go) as it will more than 2 out/inbound days). The whole trip has been a waste of a pass from start to finish because of the strikes and engineering work 😣 (I have to pay and go to London by bus, 8+hours, instead of

French version below Hello, This summer, I'm going with my group of anime (between 16 and 23 years old) to Slovenia. I have a lot of questions about interrail.- How far in advance should the train be booked? (We go through Vienna (AT)). Is this reservation chargeable?- Are there limits in the size or weight of the luggage?- If we take the train at 7 p.m. and arrive the next day at 9 a.m., does that count as one or two days of travel?Thank you for your answers !French versionCet été, je pars avec mon groupe d'animés (entre 16 et 23 ans) en Slovénie. J'ai pleins de quesion à propos de l'interrail.- Combien de temps faut-il réserver à l'avance le train ? (Nous passons par Vienne (AT)).

We have tgv seat reservations for next sunday, but the train has been cancelled due to strikes. No rebooking is possible because all alternatieve trains are fully booked. We have to revert to slower local trains. SNCF offers a 20% reimbursement, but we cannot get this because the seats were booked through interrail. How can we be reimbursed by interrail? We cannot find any information on the website.

I’m trying to get seat reservations from paris to london on 12/30. When I’m NOT logged in it shows there is availability but when I login it states there is no price. I’m confused. This is my first time 

Hi all, yesterday I activated my month pass, and planned on traveling from Rome to Amsterdam through Milan and Frankfurt. However, a delayed train in Rome caused me to miss my transfer in Milan. It was therefore already impossible for me to travel to the Netherlands by train that day. Since I decided to stay in Rome, is there a way for me to get my (inbound/outbound) travel day back, and the costs for the reservations that were made on the other trains that I was supposed to take yesterday? It was my first ever attempt at using interrail, so I’m not very aware of the rights that I currently have. Thank you!

Hey guys!I'm pretty new here and never travelled to Europe so I have no idea how to whole Swiss or Eurail pass works.

Bonjour, je voudrais aller à Rome avec ma famille en partant de France. Est-ce que je dois prendre le pass 1 pays ( Italie)? Ou le pass global ?Les tarifs en train sont 3 fois plus chers qu'en avion. C'est insensé.Je ne suis pas sûre que le pass me revienne moins cher pour 4 que de prendre une carte avantage à la SNCF. Difficile de se faire une idée réelle du prix. Je trouve ça compliqué.Vous auriez des conseils à me donner ?

I bought 3 Eurail passes for my family on the 21st of December and Eurail.com just started the Winter Vacation Discount before a day passes😭. How could this happen!! But we don’t think that we bought those with Plus options and we did not activated our passes, yet. Is there any chance that we can get the Winter Discount??? It’s been a long time since we had gone on a trip abroad due to the coronavirus. Almost 4 years… Please, We really want to get this discount if it’s possible.

I bought eurail pass today, but soon after I found 10% sale !!! I bought with plus status, so I’m sure I get full refund..  But actually I also reserved some seats,, pass itself is not activated yet, but can I change pass no to current reservation ?? 

Hi my family is currently in Paris France right now with 1 senior and 2 Child and they are a party of 9 havingtroublE with booking for their Eurail seat reservation on their trip to Paris to Lyon on December 25. Please Help. This is what is Shown on the  booking for their seats they are hinding 1st Class tickets. Please Help.  

Morning all, I noticed the 10% this morning and I just want to make sure that I’m correct with possibly swapping my pass for one of the sale passes. I currently hold a 5D/30D with plus.I’m considering either keeping the 5D/30D or swapping for a 7D/30D.If I’m correct, I would have to purchase the new pass, then ask for an exchange if upgrading to the 7D/30D pass? Would the same still apply if keeping the 5D/30D pass?I also have a few reservations and as far I can tell, reservations are associated by name, therefore there should be any issues by changing passes. Am I correct?Thanks again.

Comment se fait-il que le pass 4 jours en 1 mois coûte 334€ pour 2 (avec l'actuelle réduction de 10%) alors que quand je rentre 4 destinations dans l'Interrail Trip Planner, cela me coûte 442€ ?Merci d'avance, Noémie 

We are going to travel for 1 month to the UK and Ireland. Should the Ireland pass and the British pass or the Global Pass suit us? What is the difference? Do it allow different trains?

Hello everyone,I'm planning to travel to Poland from Germany (my resident county)I have a question. Can you travel from Germany to Poland, or do you have to be in Poland to be able to use this pass? Thanks for the help:)

Hi all. Where and how do i book a Paris to Zurich ticket with my interrail pass? I can’t find the option on any of the booking sites to add my interrail pass.

Westbahn Munich-Salzburg: is a German Onecountrypass valid?

I am also looking into an Interrail pass, for example for 5 or 7 days within 1 month.Question: if you start with the direct night train from Arnhem to Vienna (which then departs on Tuesday evening for example and arrives on Wednesday morning), does that count as 2 travel days or 1 travel day?And does it make a difference if you book a non-direct night train?Are there terms and conditions where I can find that?

Hi, Do trains run from Valencia Estació del Nord -- Cordoba via Alcazar de San Juan i.e on the route as described here https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2022/apr/05/rail-route-of-the-month-barcelona-to-cadiz-the-slow-train-right-across-spain?I cannot find any trains from Valencia- Alcazar de San Juan on renfre.com.Thanks!

Good morning, I'm from Brazil and I'm using a translator, I apologize if any words are wrong. In March 2023 I will be in Europe for 15 days. And in a few days, I will use the Eurail train. I bought the 4-day Global Pass.I have two doubts: RESERVATIONSCan reservations only be made 90 days before each destination?Is it done through the app or on the Eurail website? TICKETOn the day of train travel, how does it work?Will I have a QRCode in the app or will I have to issue a printed voucher?Will Eurail provide me with something to mark the days of using my Global Pass? I confess that I'm a little lost for having bought it.If you can help me more or less with how to book and pick up tickets later during the trip, I would be very grateful.

Thank you to all the contributors who have spent their time answering questions and providing many help documents. Having spent time looking at these and the answers to questions raised, I think (hope!) I completely understand how Eurail pass works.I have also read that some users have had problems with Mobile pass failing at the most inconvenient time.While I am very comfortable with use of technology, such a failure can mean buying expensive tickets to continue our journey.I will get a paper pass. If I link this to the app, does this invalidate the paper pass?If I have paper pass linked to app, I can do all planning and ticketing in app. At the same time, I would complete the journeys section on the paper pass, matching the journeys created in app. If the mobile app does not work, can I show the paper pass for inspection? Thanks for any advice that can be offered

I purchased a 30 day pass which must be activated by May 1, 2023.I plan to travel from April 1, 2023-April 31, 2023.If I want to make reservations now (December 2022), should I activate my pass? If I activate my pass on December 21, 2022 will the 30 days start on December 21, 2022? Or will the 30 days start on my first day of travel which is April 1, 2023?Why is it so difficult to get a clear answer to this question?
