Get ready to travel

Hello all,  I am looking to purchase an eurail pass for my trip in December, however when I am trying to create the journey so I can connect it once I’ve bought the pass, it keeps coming up saying Not In Pass Network. Does this mean I can’t use the pass for this journey? The journey is Zurich Airport to Wengen. 

Hi,PLEASE HELP ASAP. I thinking of purchasing  euro rail pass (mobile pass)for 4 adults and 1 child to use in the following routes. but i am scared if there wont be enough reserved seats for 4 adults and 1 child . Is there anyway to check if there are enough reservations BEFORE buying the pass08/10/22 - Brussels to Paris Nord : leave brussels at 9.55am11/10/22 - Paris Nord to Zurich : Leave Paris at 9.25am13/10/22 - Zurich to venice Mestre : :Leave at 9.05 am15/10/22 : Vennice to Rome : Leave at 9.38am17/10/22 : Rome to Milan central : leave in the morning Also using the timetable here it mentions that certain routes dont require a reservation (i.e. Frankfurt Airport to Amsterdam). Is this correct ? Can i rely on this information as accurate ?   

Hello hive mind …. I’ve had a browse through the forums but can’t find anything definitive. We’re setting off on Sunday with our passes and trips on one phone. Just planning for the worst I;m wondering if there’s anything I should do in case the phone gets lost / stolen / broken and I need somehow to activate the pass on a different phone.Similarly, is there ever an issue, I wonder, where there is no intenet connection. (Should I, for example, be saving the QR code pages as screenshots / pdfs).Has anyone had experience of this and wishes they’d carried numbers / screenshots etc with them… Thank you 

Does anybody know how I can contact customer service?  I got a new phone one day before travel and so attempted to contact interrail to get my pass switched to my new device. They took 2 days to respond to me (which was ridiculous given my entire trip was only 4 days and needed my pass immediately) and still did not give a clear answer of how to do so.   Thankfully I had a screenshot of my pass and planned journeys which got me through the first few days of my trip. However, I was charged €86 by Trenitalia on one of my journeys due to them not accepting the screenshot of my pass, email confirmation and seat reservation I had already booked- as a result of me not having my pass on my new phone as interrail had failed to help me. This journey should have been included on my pass and I had paid for a seat reservation. I strongly believe this is interrails fault for the lack of communication meaning I could not add my mobile pass to my new device. Is there any way I can contact interrail a

The Community warns us that we should check train times as train times on the Interrail website are not updated regularly. Rather than check with each national carrier individually, eg OBB, DB, SNCF do you think that The Train Line website is useful please ?

I want to do if the Eurail Global Mobile Pass Flex includes EUROSTAR?It stated on the web site the EURAIL GLOBAL does but what about the FLEX PASS?Do we have to pay extra fee’s for EUROSTAR on the FLEX GLOBAL PASS?Looking at 5 days within 1 monthThanks, Carol

I'm not satisfied with the explanation of "travel day" in the interrail website and even in other YouTube tutorials. So I wanna really understand the logic of it with details.I always imagined like this: Let’s say I have a 7 days pass and I went from Estonia to Germany, and let’s say it lasted 10 hours in the train. I’m imagining like 6 days 14 hours left for me to travel.But as much as I research, I’m encountering some things which are confusing me more, even in the interrail’s website itself says like this: “For instance, you can use 1 travel day to get from London to Paris and another travel day to go from Paris to Amsterdam.” But going from London to Paris, and Paris to Amsterdam, all can be done in one day.  Even we can go more destinations if we want.From London to Paris, it says 2hrs 16mins.From Paris to Amsterdam, it says 3 hrs 31 mins.So in total, it’s just 5 hrs 47 mins. How it can cost 2 travel days then?Somebody please tell me this thing with all details, for I’m perfection

If I getting the euro rial mobile pass (not the paper pass) do i need to physically print out all the seat reservation? If so does this mean that I cant make a reservation on day or the night before given i wont have access to a printer while traveling ?

Hello, Where can you make seat reservations for the EuroCity-services between Montreux and Milano?We have no time to use the local trains via Brig and Domodossola, our planning only allows the EuroCity-service. Thanks.ovspotter_be

Hi,there has been a few questions and answers about this, and it seems if the first day of validity of a one month pass is the 30.9. then the last day would be 29.10.; and if the first day is 1.10., the last day is 31.10.However on my pass it says 30.7.-30.9. - how is this possible? 

Kann ich das nicht genutzte Aufpreis Ticket für den Brenner stornieren oder für eine Fahrt an einem anderen Tag benutzen?

My pass ends the 30.9.Can I board a night train the 30.9. at 23:00 in the evening and stay with my interrail pass on the night train until I leave the night train at 8 in the next morning (1.10.). ?

So I am planning a Trip trough France. While looking for tickets, I found this Interrail ticket, which promises cheap prices and flexible trains. So I decided for Interrail and ended up not buying the tickets upfront and directly. Not knowing what a pain in the a** this Interrail program is. I spend the hole last evening and the hole morning trying to figure out how to buy reservations for the TGV. They tell you to get the reservations up front, because they might be limited. But there is no way of checking for reservations without buying the pass. On Eurail you can't look for tickets until you have bought an Interrail pass. So I ended up buying the pass, and now there are no Reservations available at all. Every reservation has a different error message. What the heck? There is even an App that shows all the possible routes and the reservation prices. Which then don't exist?!Apparently, SNCB took the reservation system out of their Website. There are plenty of options on where to book

Does anyone know if the office at Bucuresti  can book the Sofia to Istanbul sleeper? I’m not sure if this office has access to the Bulgarian booking system but it might have as there is the summer couchette coach to Istanbul. It also seems that the International Office in Sofia is now closed on Sunday and Monday! 

What extra perks do you receive if you purchase a 1st class ticket?Is it worth doing ?are the seat reservation charges higher for a 1st class seat ?anyone done it ? is it worth having ?thank you

Hi all,I purchased the 15 continuous days pass on Mobile. I wanted to check the train times and availability but just as a simulation but ended up entering the start date for the 17th of September! I only realised this now but I only wanted to use it next year :( I just assumed we had 11 months and it would just activate once I used it. I don’t want to lose the entire pass because I was really looking forward to it. I haven’t used it at all except for entering the dates and now I only have 10 days left.  Can someone help me out?

Hi there when will the app update seat reservations and times from December,  we're travelling December 21st & so far had to book the eurostar tickets on the b-europe app.

Hello, I am planning to travel by night train from Sofia to Istanbul, but according to information from the Bulgarian Railways, buying tickets is only possible at the international ticket office of the train station. So, is there any possibility to buy the tickets in advance since I don't plan to stay in Sofia (in the morning I will arrive and leave for Istanbul in the afternoon), and I am afraid that the tickets will be sold out on the day of the trip? Thank you in advance,

Hey guys,I am currently on an interrail trip in Eastern Europe.When I saw fotos and descriptions of the Belgrad - Bar train I just fell in love with it and would now really like to go there.Unfortunately, according to DB and the Interrail App there is only a night train running on this route (I would like to go there on September, 26). Thus, I won’t be able to see much of the stunning landscapes. Do you know if the train connection departing at 7am in Belgrad has been stopped? Is there another way to experience this route during daylight? Thank you very much! 

Hello. I am travelling to Greece on Saturday 19th September and we will need to start using the ferries from Monday 21st September. I am trying to buy a 4-day pass. It says it won’t arrive however until the 26th September and there is no option for quicker delivery or for a mobile pass. What do I do?

Are there additional coats for some trains even with a Eurail Pass?

Hello,I booked a Léman Pass Individual Ticket Multizone for specific time (17:05-17:27). But can this ticket be used earlier or later within the same calendar day in case of change of plan or missed train?

If i live in Guatemala but I have an EU passport and I study in Spain, can I purchase an Eurail Pass?

Hello,  I am a British student living in Rotterdam for one year on an exchange programme. I would like to travel from Rotterdam to Paris for a weekend, then travel from Paris to London, then within the UK travel from London to Leeds on the same day (so Paris-London-Leeds), and then on the way back to Rotterdam travel from Durham to London then London to Rotterdam all in one day also.  Does anyone know if the global pass with 4 days travel a month will allow this? I really need help!
