Get ready to travel

Hi,the end of July I want to travel from Prague to Budapest. I wanted to book seat reservations via the Interrail/Eurail website but it just sais Prices unavailable. I guess because of all the reservation for interrail travellers are sold out already.But on the website of the czech railroad it’s still possible to book a seat reservation. My question is i if it’s ok to make the reservation on this website (and if it’s valid in combinaion with my interrail pass) or does it necessarily need to be booked via the Interrail-website? Best regardsJohannes

I’m trying to make a sleeper reservation on the Nightjet on 9th August. I’m using nightjet.com website. After clicking “Pay now” I get an error saying:Reservation error (NJ-Code: NJ-02, TS-Code: WBS00013, Public ID: 838be9b208c040f8ba5547f63900192c, Support ID: NIGHT1_lRWaujVH) Does anyone know how to solve it? I’ve tried changing the date but i still get this error.

I’m planning a trip to Europe from the UK. I’d like to take the last Eurostar train back to the UK from Brussels on the last day of my pass, but am now wondering what would happen if my connecting train to Brussels, from Germany, is delayed. I’m aware that I should get a free seat on the next train the next day since it’s not my fault (and presumably a hotel night in Brussels?), but I’m concerned I’d get problems since my month would then have expired. Would I still be put on a train the next day without any issues? Or should I plan on getting an earlier Eurostar train? It’d give me much less time elsewhere so I would prefer not to, but I don’t want to get stuck in Brussels and have to buy a completely new ticket.  

Today’s my first day of travel but if I want to check-in my first ride the app tells me all my rides have already been used and I’d have to buy me a new ticket. What happened and what can I do?

May I book seatas reservations on the web page, the costs are different at the eurail.app and the eurail web page, wich one should I use? the app doesn’t have all the seats, x eg. It doesnt appears cabin fee at night trains

So i am using the rail planner app to book my trains and keep track off the ones i wanna catch, but I don’t understand if the time that appears in the app is the local time of the countries. For example i am booking a train from portugal to spain, the departure time and arrival are in what timezone in this case ? Because they have a 1h time zone difference so if i leave portugal at 4 and catch a 2h train i arrive in spain at 6 portugal time but 7 spain local time. How should i book the trains ? Should I look at the time from the departure countries time zone or the destination. 

I am making my reservations from London to Amsterdam, do I need to make two reservations one to Bruxelles-Midi and one to the final destination to Amsterdam Central? 

Hello,I am french, I plan to make a round trip from France to Sweden. I will take at first the train from Paris to Köln. For the return trip, I plan to take the train from Köln to Nantes via Paris.Is it compliant with the outbound/inbound rules of the Interrail pass, or must I end my round trip at Paris the city of my departure ?Regards

Is the day I activate the pass the same as the day I travel?The date of the first travel day is July 30,can I activate  pass now?

Hello, If I activate my 2-month pass now and select the first day of travel (July 3rd), will it be active now for 2 months or on July 3rd for two months? I want to activate it now to reserve seats for some trains, but I’m afraid the pass would then start right now, and not on the 3rd which is the day I want to start my trip.thank you very much! 

I have booked a travel star from London to Paris on 17 august.I am trying to book a train from Bolton to London Euston on the same day in the morning. There is no online option to reserve tickets and the train station in Bolton said they have no idea about inter rail reservations. Anyone able to help?Thanks

Hi,i have booked a trip from Copenhagen to Hamburg 2 months back itself. At that time, for that train no reservations were needed. still now just that journey exists in my trip without any highlights ( like ‘seat reservations needed’ highlight notification which I got for some other trips )now I thought to change time of my journey and now it says seat reservation needed. So, I did not do any change.  my question is if I continue with my original journey booked 2 months back, for which I have ticket (QR code), will it be sufficient or do I need to reserve seats there also? I am confused because QR CODE DOES NOT HAVE ANY SEAT NUMBER ,it just says second class. Kindly help me.Note; I have monthly EU global interrail pass

I am now on a frecciarossa, in business class.'fast wifi'... my phone finds a network which disconnects every 6 seconds, my tablet doesn't even find it… Anyone any idea, is frecciarossa networks just bad quality? Or not lucky on this particular train. Quite disappointing when one wants to get some work done    

Hello,unfortunately we have a problem with our mobile pass.We chose the 23rd as our starting date but actually wanted to start tomorrow the 24th. now, when we enter our trip on the 24th, already 2 travel days are gone. Why is that? Can somebody explain? Or is it still possible to change that? Thanks in advance for the help and best regards.  

Hello, I am planning to travel from Sofia to Istanbul on the 23rd of July but I can’t manage to do a book reservation cause I am supposed to be at the local station to do it and I am currently in France.  Could you please help me? Thank you in advance!

Before, when with PAPER card, for overnight train that depart after 19.01 (or 20.01?) you can select OR day of departure, OR day of arrival. i.e. if I leave evening, AFTER  19.01 at 15 July and arrive on 16 july 6.15 morning I have the right to select any 15 OR 16 as a travel date.  What’s happened with this rules now?  IS it exist FOR PAPER card or was canceled? I prefer somebody from interrail to answer me EXACTLY and not a traveler.

I added a travel day in error for today 20 Jul, but my trip is not until Tuesday 26 Jul. Please help! This is my second last travel day 😢 and I really really need it! 

I am not sure if my recent experiences trying to book a couple of reservations, well in advance, across Italy are repeated elsewhere but here is my experience.We need to get from Monaco to Venice in September. Trenitalia shows a journey at 0901 with changes at Ventimiglia and Milan, but there seems to no way to book reservations only on their site. Neither OBB or Interrail planner showed this option until today, when the Interrail planner/reservation tool now showed the combination we  wanted. Reservations from VM to Milan and Milan to Venice would be needed. OK so far - moved to reservation tool and proceeded to make both reservations. Went to check the cart, entered passenger details and it said one of the legs wasn’t available (The 3 euro intercity from VM). Really???? A basic Intercity 2 months in advance.Back to the planning phase.Now, with Monaco to Venice as search,  it seemed that the VM to Milan had disappeared and the suggested option included 3 changes to Milan.Then tried si

Hi, is it required to be online to be able to show the Global Pass in the App to the conductor? Is there WiFi in trains in Germany, Switzerland and Italy? And can we charge our phones in these trains?

El último día, para volver a Madrid tengo que tomar varios trenes en Francia que me llevan a Girona y de ahí a Madrid. El problema es que según he leído, no se puede tomar más que un tren a/en tu país y no sé si puedo hacer esa ruta, ya que no hay ningún tren directo Paris- Madrid.Se podría hacer? O hay alguna alternativa?

Hello, is there a bucharest-halkali train? How much is the reservation fee?

Hi,I’m using a global pass (mobile).Previously, I’ve booked seat reservations with Eurail but this time did it directly from www.bahn.de.I received a copy of the seat reservations in my email and downloaded the DB app and the seat reservations are there but there is no QR code.I was just wondering whether I need a QR code and if I have done something wrong.Thanks

Buenas noches. El día 21 de Agosto queremos coger el tren nocturno Budapest Split. Venta a las 19.01. Hemos intentado reservar desde la app eurorail y no podemos, también desde OBB y pone tickets no disponibles ¿Está lleno ya? ¿O quiere decir que solo se puede hacer en taquilla?Os dejo el enlace: https://shop.oebbtickets.at/en/ticket/timetableEl resto de viajes los haremos sin reserva, aunque sea más tiempo... Nuestro itinerario es Barcelona-Praga-Viena-Bratislava-Budapest-Split- Ljubljana. ¿¿Lo veis arriesgado??¿la mejor alternativa para mirar horarios es la página OBB según mi itinerario? muchas gracias

I need to catch the INT 480 train from Rijeka to Budapest tomorrow, the intarrail application says the seat reservation is mandatory, the interrail website won’t let me get a seat reservation, I contacted customer support and they redirected me to the Hungarian railway website, but I could not book a seat reservation alone, it only let me buy ticket+Seat reservation (even if I checked the box that said I already have a ticket/pass). From the Hungarian website it seems a though a reservation is not mandatory, as when you buy a ticket it asks weather or not you want to reserve a seat, but the interrail application says it is. So which is it ? How can I get a seat reservation ?PS: I know this is last minute, I’ve been trying to solve this issue for a while but customer service is slow and the websites unclear.

Hi - this may be a stupid question but I need all the help I can get with booking night trains for italy.I have found the trains I want on both italiarail and trentitalia websites but neither of these sites have an obvious option for applying the interrail pass to the booking. But when I try the interrail/eurrail reservation system it does not find any of the trains even though both other sites clearly have booking available.This is specifically for booking a night train/sleeper cabin.
