Get ready to travel

Hello, im planning a trip starting Tuesday and ending Friday (march 2023), but i get a constant message in the plan your interrail trip window, saying i need a “5 day travel pass”, but i’m only travelling 4 days.Do i really need a 5 day pass?Madrid to Bordeux - tuesdayBordeux to Paris - WednesdayParis to Brussels - ThursdayBrussels to Amsterdam - Friday Thanks for the help.Fernando.

The 15 day promotional pass gives me the option of 100% refund. Is Eurail offering a refund with these promotional passes?

I kept entering my passport ID and putting in valid dates but it seemed like the app didn’t want to accept the ID number - As it seemed to keep going back to the ID field and I was unable to see/click the submit/activate button. The issue I found was that it was just that the keyboard wouldn’t minimise. There was no issue with my data or the app. I couldn’t get rid of the keyboard in the way I do normally (e.g. I couldn’t swipe it down and there’s no way to minimise it using the keyboard itself). However if you click anywhere on the main page outside of the keyboard - It will go away. Then you can see and press the ‘activate’ button. Simple solution but it’s been driving me crazy and seems like some other iPhone users Apple forums have had some similar issues. I was due to travel soon and was having a panic that I wouldn’t be able to activate my pass in time - So thought I’d post here in case anyone else came across the same issue!

When looking for a train between Lund central and Copenhagen before the 10th of December you can take the Öresundståg without reservation but after the 10th of December that is no longer an option and you have to take a SJ high-speed train (for which I have to make a reservation, but I can't make a reservation through interrail, so I want to avoid it). I checked a local traffic app (Skånetraffiken), so I know the Öresundståg is still operational. So can I trust that the interrail pass works on the Öresundståg eventhough its not in the timetable or what is going on? 

Hi guys, I've been reading in the forum that it is possible to exchange reservations in Italy and other countries if the reservation exceeds €10, but I can't find the platform to do it.Thanks in advance!

I only have National Visa (Type D Schengen Visa) from Germany. I don't have a residence permit. Which pass should I choose (Interrail or Eurorail)?

Hello all, My family and I would like to travel to Antwerp (Belgia) and Amsterdam (The Netherlands), our country of residence is Germany (we have German ID but with non-EU Passport). Our itinerary is as follows:1st journey: Leipzig (our hometown) - Antwerp 2nd journey: Antwerp - Amsterdam 3rd journey: Amsterdam - Antwerp 4th journey: Antwerp - LeipzigIn this case, can we buy the Benelux Pass or should we buy the Global 4-Day Pass? Also, can we buy the Interrail Pass or should we buy the Eurail Pass?Looking forward to your answer. Thanks!

Hello.I have something to ask.I am planning a trip through '4 days within 1 month pass'.When I go from point A to point B by train, if I stop at several points, I wonder if we can calculate it once.I will send my captured rail planner screen for accurate judgment.Do you judge the journey from Prague to Wien as "1 day"?Oh, and I'm wondering if I use train leaving late at night and arriving the next morning, also we judge that it's "1 day", right?Thanks for your kind replies.

The rail passes I have are electronic mobile pass versions, they show up under my Eurail account, but I’m not sure how to use them when it comes time to reserve/pay for seats on eurail.com.  Basically, I’ve got all my routes selected, and I’m ready to go to the checkout screen.  But it looks like I still need to pay $20/person plus an $8 service charge per train.  My assumption was that since I purchased the rail pass, I could reserve seats using the rail pass and not have to pay anything.  But nowhere during the checkout process am I asked to input my pass #’s.  

Hola! Quiero reservar un viaje de Munich a Füssen ida y vuelta para enero, y no me aparece la estación Füssen. La app de Eurail no la reconoce. ¿Será que ese viaje no está incluido en Eurailpass? Es raro, porque es un tren regional. Gracias. 

Hello!I am planning an interrail trip for next summer, but I am struggling to understand the inbound and outbound days. I am from Edinburgh, in Scotland, and in order to reach Amsterdam where I want to start the trip[ I need to reach London and get the Eurostar.  I want to get the Caledonian Sleeper train down from Edinburgh to London and get the Eurostar but will the pass cover both or just one of the journeys?

Can we use this pass from UK 

Can you help me? I booked a train from Budapest to Prague by Eurail Pass. I couldn't get on because of the Austrian train strike. I booked another train, but I missed it. I'm going to take a plane with a one-day ticket, but there's no other train today. Can I refund this train ticket or change it to the next day? please.

I used my homeward and outward trip in homeland. So I need to buy a ticket now to the border, but train does not stop at the border. Do I need a ticket to the last station in homeland, to the first stop in Belgium or to the border station where the train does not stop?

Hi, I have an Interrail mobile pass for 7 days within one month.  The last activation date is 31 August 2022 but I am not able to start my first journey until 20 September 2022.  I then plan to complete all 7 days of travel by 30 September 2022.  Is this permitted? Or do I have to take my first journey on the date that I activate the pass (ie travel on 31 August 2022?).Any advice gratefully received.

I purchased a 2 month interrail pass on 11th May 2022 so I need to activate it no later than the 11th April 2023. My plan is to activate the pass on the 10th April 2023 and set a start date of 20th April 2023. My current understanding is that the 2 month duration will start on the 11th April (instead of the 20th April start date) and my last day of usage will be the 11th June 2023. Can someone confirm that my understanding is correct and it is possible to set a start date which occurs after the 11 months from purchase? Thanks.

I will be travelling from London to Brussels then Brussels to Paris. I planned to buy the Eurail Global Pass. May i know if seat reservation is required for these 2 trips?

Hello everyone,I’d like to travel from the UK to Germany on 21 December by Interrail. Since I’ve been quite late, I have only been able to get a seat reservation to Amsterdam, not to Brussels. (Strange booking system logics...)The reservation is for the train leaving London St Pancras at 8:16. Since I want to continue on to Germany, changing in Brussels would save me a lot of time. Just to be sure: It should be possible to get off the train in Brussels at 11:12, rather than Amsterdam at 13:14, right?Thank you all in advance!Best,amadeu

I am planning a backpacking trip to Europe in 2023. My research showed that Eurail had a sale on their tickets last year at this time.  Anyone know if it will happen again this year? Thanks!

I am planning a Eurail trip and will be traveling on my South African passport as I currently reside there. I do however also have a Swiss passport and wondered if the regulations regarding one in-bound & one out-bound trip in Switzerland also apply to me, or whether I would be able to visit multiple destinations in Switzerland as well?  

Baixei o aplicativo eural planner, mas preciso em portugues, como faço pra traduzir?

Hi, planning my first long rail journey in a long time: from Oslo to Bilbao with stop in Munich. Up to Munich everything looks fine, but from there it gets messy. First I thought of travelling via Switzerland and Lyon to Bordeaux - Hendaya and so on, but seat reservations (from 30 EUR) at some segments kind of scared med off. So I looked into the itinerary via Paris, but I am finding it hard to find out prices for seat reservations there too. Usually DB is quite good for that, but it’s not possible to make a reservation on all trains. Does it mean that there are no seats for people holding an Interrail ticket? (there are otherwise seats available, I checked). And I find no information at all at SNCF website. Any ideas of what I may expect? I am travelling from roughly the 12 of december for one month. Thanks! 

Hi, I want to inform all in this community, that on Monday 28/11/2022 there could be a strike day at the Austrian federal railways ÖBB. The strike has to be confirmed, this can happen Sunday evening.So keep in mind that you can get effect by the strike or, if you can, plan to avoid Austria.  

Hello, I have a travel plan for February, I have an "unlimited pass" ticket, I want to start my journey from Greece and go from there to Venice, to visit Europe, but when I look at the train times and reservation, I could not see a train departing from or from Greece. . Have train services to Greece stopped? How can I get information about this, I will plan my trip accordingly. My itinerary was as followsAthens ---> Thessaloniki ---> Skopje ---> Belgrade ---> Zagreb ---> Ljubljana ---> VeniceIf there is an easier way to start from Greece and go to Italy or Venice, could you please share with me, this will be my first interrail trip, I don't know much about routes and travel and do I need to make a reservation for each trip in advance or can I get on directly from the station.Thank you so much everyone

Hey, so I am traveling from Sweden to Amsterdam 29th of november, and then coming back from Amsterdam to Sweden the 2nd of december. Trying to understand the different passes, but would a “5 days within 1 month” pass work for this trip? Also, if you have done this trip, is it worth to pay for first class?
