Get ready to travel

Hello everyone,hope someone can help me with this question regarding an Interrail Global Pass.Is it allowed to change the train inside my homecountry? The first train would only be from one city to another city inside my country (e.g. Munich → Cologne) and the second train (e.g. Cologne → Amsterdam) will leave it.Thank you in advance!

Help! Our train broke down on the way to Ventimiglia and we have missed our connection to Nice - we’ve missed the last train as we are 3 hours late due to being stranded on the train. There are no busses and we are travelling with young kids.will there be any assistance with payment for a taxi? It seems the only way we can get to Nice tonight and it will be too late to try to find a hotel.

When I was searching for the seat reservation, I already added the routes but when I was about to pay, something like this comes up. Now, I have booked a seat towards the destination but cannot book for a seat reservation for the train going back to Germany.  

Travel-b.europe offers a train that is unavailable through interrail.eu (TGVin France) however it asks for a pass cover number which I don't have as I am using a mobile pass. How can I reserve a ticket.

I arrive in Frankfurt at 2234hr and have a transfer to another train which is listed as a 0hr 15m (15 minutes) transfer, meaning the train I transferred to should leave at 2249hr. However, according to the "Ticket  Booking Reservation" it says the train I transferred to will not leave until 0056hr! That is a transfer time of 2hr and 22m!QUESTIONS... 1) How is the possible? Am I missing something? 2) I have a 15day/2month Global Pass... Will this count as 2 travel days?Thank you in advance! 

Our dates of birth are both incorrect ,one day before the date i wrote , Who should I contact to correct this?

My daughter and I are planning a Eurail trip in mid December 2022. We are trying to travel by train from Stockholm-Oslo-Gothenburg-Copenhagen-Stockholm-Helsinki-Kiruna-Stockholm. I look everyday on the Eurail Planning App for these particular routes but it always says not available. Should I be nervous? Does anyone know when I will be able to purchase tickets and or make reservations? if I book fares on individual websites without a Eurail Pass can I apply these fares to my pass at a later date? This process is really confusing and frustrating. I could use some help on how to secure train tickets.

Managed to use my pass on the train from Nis to Beograd- conductor scanned the pass no problem even with the journey manually added. Just tried to get the train from Beograd Centar to Novi Sad. Asked at the ticket office in Beograd, "can we use our pass on the 10am train and do we need seat reservations?". After several people in the ticket office we consulted, "we do not know. Ask on the train!". Went to the train doors and asked the lady there, she looked at our pass and the manually added train info and let us on. 10 mins later the ticket inspector comes and refuses to accept our pass and says we need a barcode. She cannot explain how or where we get one from. Anyone know what we should be doing or where we have gone wrong? Many thanks! 

I was wondering if I can use a foreign passport to travel on an Interrail pass. I live in Germany, a EU Country, I wonder if it’s okay for me to use My US passport numbers in the Interrail pass or do you need a European ID for this pass?

I have a booking on EC64 from Budapest to Munich on December 6th. I am trying to make a seat reservation on the EuRail site which seems to go OK until I attempt to Checkout and I receive an ERROR, there is no explanation except it seems to want to mail me the seat reservation rather than an e-Ticket. As we will be traveling there is no place to actually send the ticket I must have an e-ticket. When I start to make the reservation it shows an e-ticket but for some reason when I go to checkout it wants to send me a paper ticket.Any ideas, or is there any way around this? I know I don’t need the reservation on this particular train but for peace of mind would like to have one. Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone! I hope you’re well. I am a bit worried/ concerned about my EURAIL pass. I’m finding it difficult to navigate the website and would really appreciate your help to my problem. I have just bought a youth pass for the EUrail for 15 days within 2 months and have plans to travel in Austria and France in December. When I looked at booking tickets/ making seat reservations, the website said I would need to pay about 10-100 USD depending on the train and the distance but since I’d already bought a 300 USD pass, I’m confused as whether I need to buy these youth tickets in addition to my pass?  Is there another way to book the trains that my pass will cover without the additional fee? It also says above in the photo that seat reservations are required to board and am assuming I do need to pay the additional fee? Thank you!!

Is there a standard rule of how long in advance train schedules are published? On October 24th I tried  to book Paris to Munich on December 27th and it says no schedules available. Can anyone advise me if there is a predetermined lead time say 60 days in advance? Thanks in advance. 

Hi all,Trying to book seat reservations for the TGV Lyria from Geneva to Paris on 1 Jan with my Eurail first class pass, but after logging in to my account, it only lets me select second class. However, I see first class as an option on the Eurail website when not logged in. Would appreciate the help in getting a first class seat reservation.

I had my iPhone stolen unfortunately with EURAIL GLOBAL PASS active on it.  I'm on a trip today and I need to activate it on a new device. Somebody help! 😥

Hi i have a question about interrail pass italy, can i use it to travel from karlsruhe hbf germany to rom italy with it ?

I'm sure that the answer to this has already been answered but here goes ;I reserved 2 first class seats on an Avanti West Coast train to London Euston. The seats allocated are not acceptable but the company say they cannot change them and suggest I contact rail staff on the day of travel who may be able to help.My question is this; Is there any way of selecting your seat from a seating plan akin to that on aircraft travel?

Hi, Will be visiting Austria end of the year and we will be purchasing the Eurail pass. Would like to know where the first class cabins are located in the train. Are they at the front or end of the trains? If we are to wait at the platform for the train to arrive, how do we tell which part of the platform we should be standing to wait for the train? We are travelling with some senior citizens and we hope we can know where the 1st class cabins are located so that we would not have to run and rush when the train arrives and realising that we are actually waiting at the wrong end of the train. By the way are we able to walk through the train carriages? 

Hello - I have been reading around this topic for a few weeks and have narrowed down my questions from when I started  can’t seem to find my exact issue here! :) I now have our Eurail passes and wanting to lock in my night train from Amsterdam to Munich. I have discovered that the train is with NS International. I presume my next step is make the seat reservation (I am wanting a private 3 bunk/couchette). This is where I get a bit confused.If I go to NS International site I am able to select exactly the type of Couchette I want (private for 3 people with an upgrade fee to allow for that) but the price displayed is full price and there doesn’t seem to be an option to add a Eurail discount?The other issue I came across that was a little confusing is when in NS International site I select my date of 19th April 2023 as departure date, it shows my timetable/ticket as Outbound 20th April - is this correct and it’s just showing me the arrival date in Munich? I have contacted NS International

Hi, I am travelling next Saturday but I cannot activate my digital interrail card on the rail planner app because my passport number is not in my profile.How can i add my passport details in my profile ? 

Hi I would appreciate any help with reserving some seats. I am old school and technology challenged so please in very simple terms 😊 My husband and I have 1st class global eurail passes and will be travelling in November and December. Should we make seat reservations now or just make them for the next leg of our journey when we arrive in the city. The itinerary that we have planned has been made around the times I saw the train schedule on the rail planner but I am now worried we will not get the seats. I have booked the Eurostar tickets so arrive in Paris on the 26/11. So this would be hopefully the plan 28/11 Paris est-lucerne Bahnhof 7.20-12.05.  30/11 lucerne-Pisa 7.39-14.28 and then Pisa-Florence 17.09-18.01.  2/12 Florence-Rome 7.59-9.35.  4/12 Rome termini-Venice  8.35-12.34.  6/12 Venice-Salzburg  9.56-15.48.  8/12 Salzburg-Budapest     7.08-12.19.  9/12 overnight train from Budapest-Prague Hlav  19.05-8.42.  12/12 Prague-Berlin hof  8.45-14.43.  14/12 Berlin-Amsterdam central

I am trying to add a journey to my trip in France (called Nomad train). I dont need a reservation.The app doesn't put the trains that usually travel between the 2 cities I wanna travel. There is no solution to take another train to come home.On the France app Oui sncf, we can still buy tickets between those 2 cities and I ALREADY USED interrail for this same train between the 2 cities 2 months ago.How can I do to add this journey when it doesnt exist in the app?Moderator note: correction to information above; as checked with SNCF you do need a reservation for this train. 

Hey all, I have purchased 2 euarail passes for myself and my partner to travel this coming December and Janurary. I am struggling to get seat reservations for France and would appreciate any help you can provide! I have read pretty much every post in this community but I keep coming to dead ends.  I am trying to book TGV trains from Strasbourg to Brussels and Paris to Bordeuax (return). I have so far tried calling SNCF to book and had no luck, I have also tried booking through b-europe but had no luck for booking these trains (was only able to book my thalys trains this way). For some reason the Rail Planner App only has trains available up until the 10th of December and I cannot book any of the trains I need for my holiday through here.  Does anyone know an alternative way to book? Or when the rail planner app will have the dates available? I am getting worried I will have no way of reaching my destinations due to trains being booked out during the Christmas and New Years periods.  Th

Part of our planning for a 3 week train tour of certain European countries is knowing the time it talked between cities.  How do we find the train schedules that define those lapsed times?

Hi. Im in Paris and can't book a seat reservation via the interrail website to Marseille (22€). I don't wanna spend about 130€ on a normal ticket. What can i do?
