Get ready to travel

Hi, I'm trying to get on a train from Basel to Amsterdam on Aug 1 around 3PM. If the train is fully reserved and I don't happen to find a seat, will I be allowed to stand in the train while waiting for someone to get off in the coming stops? I read that in some review but just wanted to make sure. 

Hi yallMe and my sister are traveling from Barcelona to Nimes and trough that to Genoa eventually.Because of the french railway strikes all lines have been cancelled on the 30th and probably the 31st of july and we are stuck on the border in Portbou without any clear idea of how to get to france.We have seen other possible interrailers in the same situation so we wanted to know if there is anyone else inour shoes.Our destination is Genoa, but if we could get to Perpignan we could take a bus from there or something. To perpignan maybe we could share a taxi or find a way, we only wanted to have others along in case we figure it out togerther.So contact me if you have the same problem and let's meet up, we are chilling in Portbou.Thanks: GERGOE

Hey! I need to go from Berlin to Gothenburg, and one of of the trains to go there (Hamburg to Copenhagen) seems to be fully booked for weeks! Does anyone know what will happen if I just enter the train without any reservation, and just sit on the floor? Could i get kicked off or get a fee? Or is it okay? 

Hello, As of what I understood trains marked as green I dont have to reserve and I can just go in right? So, why do some of them appear as unavailable???

 Hola, quiero reservar asientos con interrail global pass electrónico, pero al intentar reservar, me indica que la reserva se emite con Billete en Papel, no me permite pagar, y por lo tanto no puedo reservar. Me indica “Tu pedido contiene uno o más boletos impresos. Según nuestros cálculos, tu pedido no llegará a tiempo. Envía tus reservas a otra dirección o a tu hotel en Europa, o intenta reservar en una estación de tren europea.”Como lo puedo hacer para que la compra sea con billetes e-tickets? Cuanto tiempo de antelación necesita?Gracias, por la ayuda.Saludos,

Hi guys! A friend of mine and i we are doing a trip starting from Prague (Czech Republic) then Vienna (Austa) to Munich (Germany) and then to Paris (France) and after that we are going to back to Frankfurt (Germany). Are we allowed to back to Germany using the Global Pass 5 days in one month?. Thanks in advance!

So my pass somehow got activated and took a travel day on July 2. I asked for this to be undone because I didn’t even start using it until the end of July.  I was given one day back, but my pass expires TOMORROW (!!!) and I need to keep using it past then. I have 3 travel days (half of my pass) that will go to waste if not, AND I will be stranded with no way to get around.  Please if anyone knows what to do or how to get in immediate contact with support let me know. 💗 I am so upset and stressed about this. 

Using the Eurail app, it doesn’t seem to have accurate information on schedules and express or transfer details. I believe I have the latest update for the app. Any advice on getting updated schedules?

Hola,Empezaremos el viaje el día 10 o día 11 de agosto, desde Barcelona a Marsella. Somos tres personas y tenemos el viaje organizado, hemos visto los trenes, horarios, todo, para reservar (desde aplicación)  y todo parecía correcto. Lo guardé en el carrito de compras para pagar, ingresé mi nombre y datos, pero no me pasó a ninguna opción para hacer la compra, no pidió tarjeta ni nada. No se cómo hacerlo. Es posible comprar todas las reservas de tren desde aplicación? Cuando hablan de boletos, se refieren a imprimir boletos o a qué es necesario comprarlos en alguna estación? Cuando haces reservas, es posible coger asientos juntos, por número, en cada pase? Os agradecería mucho si alguien me puede ayudar, saludos

I Can’t Start the process of Refund , can’t find it on the web Site or Mobile App , Customer service is not responding through different emails .i have 22 days Mobile Pass , bough it on promotion with Plus Option from the website .   

By mistake I ordered the wrong (paper) passes, so I decided to return the passes. On the website I confirmed the returning of the passes for a refund and I got an adress to return the passes to. There was a return number there that I had to put on the envelope, but I didn't write it down immediately and now I can't find the number anymore. I didn't got an e-mail with a confirmation of the returning and the return number either. Can anyone help me? I do have the adress so I could send it without the return number, but that feels a bit risky. Thanks in advance!

I cannot even start describing how complicated it has been to plan my travel to Spain! I wanted to book on the eurrail app 2 weeks in advance but I could not book the Spanish train from France to Spain because they only work with paper tickets (?!) and they assumed that 10 working days would not be enough for them to arrive. I the called Renfe, SNCF and in a desperate attempt even Deutsche Bahn to try to book these seat reservations. Nothing. Went to a train station in one of the major cities in Italy, they also couldn’t help. So basically there was no way that I could book the seat reservation even though there were places available. I had to leave it up to chance and hope that once in France I could book the seat reservation. Turns out that even though there were second class tickets available at full price, there were none to be reserved for interrail passes (are there quotas ?). Some hours later understanding how complicated it is to travel with the regional trains (2+ days of trav

Hello there, we’ve booked several seat Reservation for our trip. Infortunatly the seat reservations for the Trains in Spain can‘t be booked in Germany. Does anybody know if it is possible to book the Seatreservation in any other country? The Train we want to book is from Barcelona to Madrid on the 30th of september and one from Madrid to Lisbon with arrival on the 3rd Oktober. Thank‘s for your Support! 

Hello there, I just booked reservations for a trip from Germany to Spain and back.However, for the following connections I was shown the messagePrices unavailableNo price results were found for this connection. It is possible that all pass holder seats are sold out. Please try searching for another connection or check 'More information' and try other ways to book this seat reservation. If no pass holder seats are available anymore you need to buy a separate full fare ticket to board. - Narbonne - Barcelona Sants, 17th Sept 22, RSC 9731 , 10:33 - 12:34SNFC and RENFE both tell me that this one is fully booked, i.e. I need to look for a different connection.It would be really useful if this information was provided in the Interrail booking system! - Paris Est - Stuttgart Hbf, 25th Sept 22, TGV 9579, 17:55 - 21:04DB tells me that reservation is not possible (but not why its not possible).SNCF does not tell me that the train is full, but also I couldn’t find an option to just reserve a seat

Hello there,I want to travel from Germany up in the north of Norway, Hammerfest, Sorøya, to be exact.I have a global pass, so it is possible to travel through sweden.I know that the trains in Norway go only until Bodø, but I found a train that travels through sweden.

Hi!I have a interrail global flexi pass and have a question regarding my last inbound journey back home to my country of residence (Germany).I am planning on taking a train from Copenhagen to Stuttgart. The train in Copenhagen leaves at 10.43 p.m. on Sunday, there will be a transit in Hamburg again at 5.31 a.m. on Monday. Then, I plan to take the last train at 5.46 a.m. from Hamburg to Stuttgart (final destination).I do realize that this will count as 2 travel days, as I make the last transit in Hamburg after midnight. However, as this will be my inbound journey, will my pass cover the Hamburg to Stuttgart journey, or will I need to pay an additional ticket? As I understand, I am allowed one inbound journey back to my home country, but are multiple transits in my home country included here? Also, I am unsure about the ruling regarding the midnight rule, as my inbound journey starts the day before and ends one day later.Would greatly appreciate any helpful comments!

Hey there! I want to go from Sofia to Skopje but there is apparently no train connection at all. Can I take a bus then with my interrail ticket?

Hi. I have to take the train from Cologne to Paris on the 9th of August.

Hello everyone,My friends and I are planning an interrail trip for this summer (4th-28th July)!We found on lots of websites (e.g rail.cc) the mention of a night train from Thessaloniki to Belgrade on an interrail line, but on the official interrail website can only find the Belgrade to Thessaloniki night-train (Hellas express)!Ideally we want the reverse route of this train. Does anyone know if it exists, like other websites state, or alternatives if it no longer does?Thank you,Lexi
