Get ready to travel

What shall we say to the conductor on trains that do not require reservations?

How do I book a paper pass - I can't find the option when booking?

 I live in Germany and along my journey I want to travel from Warsaw to Amsterdam.This journey will be trough Germany my homecountry, so I will enter and exit Germany in one travel day. Would that count as either an inbound or an outbound trip or both ? If it counts as an inbound and outbound trip at the same time could I just travel close to the Dutch border with interrail, buy a separate ticket to the nearest city in the Netherlands on the other side of the border and travel the rest of the trip to Amsterdam with Interrail again ? if you have any other ideas/ tips/ tricks that would be great 

On august 11,2022 a guy form customer service told me i should buy an emergency ticket of equal value of the one I already have because mine was not useful. However before buying the ticket I made sure that they will refund my money because I dont need two tickets.  Almost 20 days later I am being  ignored  by customer service Without an update on my refund, even though i have share the conversation I had with this particular person from customer service. I have evidence of him saying i will get the refund and I have not heard from anyone since.  what should i do? There’s no telephone number i can call and even if i write  another mail they still say my refund wont go and when attached the evidence they ignore me all over again how can i contact them without being ignore!? 

Is the 2023 timetable out yet? I've read that it only starts running in June each year.

Suppose, if I buy a “one month Global pass” which I first use on May 23rd, 2022, thenIs it valid for 30 days in a row from the day I activate it?or​​​​​​​It just consider a calendar month and my pass will expire on “May 31” which is the last date of that calendar month?Extremely sorry in case you feel like telling this over and over again.

My husband and I each have a Eurail pass and have been able to use it to book travel for ourselves-- however, we also have our 2 year old with us.  Does he need to have his own separate pass in order to board the train?  I’ve read that we don’t need to purchase a separate seat for him, but I am wondering if he will still need his own pass or ticket in order to get on the train.Thank you for your help!

I’m trying to book euro star train on 9/23, a morning train.  When I choose the train I want and put it in my cart, the cart shows the travel date as 9/24, even though I’m choosing to travel on 9/23.  It is truly making me crazy, I’ve been on the website all day.  Can anyone help?

Eurail.com doesn’t let me buy reservations for a train from Edinburgh to London on 26/9/22.  If I buy from somewhere like trainline.com it doesn’t give me the option to use my Globalpass.  I do have a family and friends railcard that I can use but don’t know which way is the best way to goThanks for your help in advance :)

Looking at a few future journeys in Interrail web train times planner. I have just seen some journeys with a 1max, 1 change message.I am sure it should be obvious but what does 1 max mean?

In descriptions of interrail flexipass is written, that we news to write down our trips in correct order. We travel greece with 6 days (ferrys) and we want to book our trip back to italy in advance/ reservate seats. Is it possible to write down 1. and last/6th trip an fill in the trips between afterwards?Thanx, community!

I’ve added my mobile pass to a device I can not carry with me on my journey. Now I’m having trouble adding the mobile pass to my smart phone. Is there any possibility of adding or moreover deleting the pass from one advice and transfer it to another?

We bought 3 month passes in Switzerland, and have already used our Outbound and Inbound journeys, having travelled to UK, Belgium, Germany and Denmark before returning home.Now we want to visit Salzburg in Austria, which means leaving Switzerland again - so my question is, do we need to buy a ticket to the final station we go through in Switzerland, or to the first station we pass through in Austria?As I understand it, travel in Austria should be included in the pass.Any help welcome!Thank you in advance,John

Dear community, I hope you can help me with my question. I have a global pass and I am a German citizen. I am planning to take a night train from Zürich to Hamburg on September 22nd. The train starts at 19:59 in Zürich and will pass the German border way before midnight at 21:50 still on September 22nd. It arrives in Hamburg at 08:00 on September 23rd and I will need to take an additional train to my hometown from there.My question is: does the 22nd or 23rd count as my inbound journey day? Will I be able to take an additional train to my hometown after my arrival in Hamburg on the 23rd with my Interrail mobile pass? I am aware that I could split my travel into two legs if the train would cross the German border after midnight. However, this is not the case with this connection.I hope I made my question clear. Thanks a lot and best wishes!

HiI'm looking to book train tickets from Budapest to Munich. The DB website is cheaper than the obb website for the same railjet train. Anyone know if it's ok to buy the first class tickets on DB website and just buy business class upgrade on obb website using the seats only option? DB and MAV doesn't offer business class tickets…Thanks!

I have just purchased Eurorail global pass. I have plan to use it on September 30,2022. Can I just add my pass today without activating it? Today is August 28,2022.

We booked outbound ICE Hamburg Cologne, then TGV. They took 6 Euros for one seat. Why? It doesn’t even say so on the pricelist?

My sister and I want to go from Warschau to Budapest. And at the time we had to choose the option with 2 changes in trains. Now we saw that our first train is a direct connection with budapest. We reserved seats on the train untill breclav…Can we prolong our reservation? This so we can stop in budapest instead of breclav. Our do we have to get out at breclav?

the eurorail site continually says ' seat reservations unavailable' .  I have tried many dates and times .  Assistance please 

Hello all,I study at Heidelberg University and am travelling home around the 17th of September to Edinburgh. I have a visa for Germany and want to use my Interrail pass as a way to visit some international friends I’ve made in Dusseldorf and such en route home.As such, I will be taking a few cases of belongings as I need to empty my Heidelberg flat. Are there are restrictions on the Eurotunnel luggage that you’ve encounter that should make me think again about using this pass as a cheaper way to scuttle around before returning home?

This is an update for those in the United States who have or will order a Eurail Global paper pass.Eurail shipped the pass to the United States in a very timely fashion after the order.  It arrived in the United States on August 11. Here is where it encountered a significant delay in U.S. Customs. I recieved notification on August 26th that the parcel had cleared customs, and now is in the U.S. Postal system, which means another 4-5 days before arrival.  Total transit time in this country will be 18-19 days.So my lesson learned is plan ahead early.  I am still a couple of months from my travel date, and I am very glad I ordered early.Hope this helps if you are in a similar situation.  

Buenas , como reservo los billetes de tren si aún no están las fechas disponibles de los trenes ??

Hello everyone, I hope you’re all doing well!Sooo, in a few days I will do a little surfing trip to Biarritz ( France ) from Germany ( Berlin ).I’ve just noticed that I only have 10 minutes to change the train at Bordeaux on the way back home.Since I have never used the train to travel I have some questions for this:1. Are the trains in France reliable to arrive on time?2. Can the staff on trains/train-stations speak English?3. What happens if I miss the train? I know that I am supposed to take the next one but it is mandatory to reserve seats on french trains. Can I just take the next train without reserving a seat? Do I need reserve/pay for a seat on the next train? What if the next train is fully booked?4. Same question as 3, but referred to the following train since I will miss that one too (Paris to Germany).The trains from Paris to Germany ( Frankfurt/Köln/Mannheim ) seem to be fully booked for that day. I am just worried that I won’t be able to get on the next train if i miss mi

Hi! I have my eurail and the expires date is on september 1st. Can I stil travel that day? 

Hello everyone,I live in France and went to Germany to do some vacation there, I then continued my vacation with Friends (from Germany) in France. Now I am supposed to go back to Germany with my friends and finish the vacation there (and go back to my hometown in France after that).The problem is that I have no inbound days left to go back to Germany and then return home to France, because while activating my travel days, the rail planner used my inbound day on the wrong trip.I booked my entire trip on the Interrail website while being logged in, this means that the website knew which Interrail pass I had and the conditions that came with it. Because the website knew all these details, it only seemed logical that it would show me trips that are compatible with my pass or show me a warning message that tells me that there is an issue in my order.So now I can't go back home because the app (rail planner) used the inbound day on the wrong travel day. I’m supposed to take my train back hom
