Get ready to travel

Hello. I am planning to travel from Budapest-Keleti to Wien Meidling with the regional train RJ 66. As far as I understood, regional trains do not need reservation; you simply have to hop on. However, the app says that reservation is compulsory. Has anyone used this conenction and could tell me if they required a seat reservation?Thanks a lot!

So I’m planning a trip through Eurail and have already found out that alot of the trains don’t match on the app vs online (I did as much research as possible and I know that the app isn’t always reliable since timetables aren’t always current). My question is how reliable is the Eurail website timetables? A few of the trains I need require seat reservations (despite conflicting with the app saying seat reservations are only recommended), but when I double check the trains with a specific country’s timetables there are vast discrepancies. I’m afraid to make a train reservation on Eurail if the train doesn’t end up existing. Any advice on this? Should I just trust the Eurail website and go ahead and get the reservations?

Hello :)I just bought my interrail ticket and try to organize my first interrail journey!I`m planning to take the eurostar from Bruxelles to London but I`m not sure what I`m planning to do in Bruxelles/ how much time I need there jet so I`m nor sure which time I should reservate the train.Is it possible to reservate a train and then spontaneously rebook it, to be able to take the train that`s scheduled a few hours later? Or would I have to pay the reservation fee again?Thanks!

Hello! I am a bit confused: we booked one overnight ferry (Stockholm-Turku) and one short ferry (Helsinki-Tallinn), both with discount but not free. I assume this is not a travelday, but I am not 100% sure. Can anyone confirm? We have a Global pass with 7 traveldays in 1 month. Thank you!!Ella

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been trying to find availability on a night train,  I’ve clearly left it far too late as the closest I can get is either just a seat or a luxury cabin.  I was thrilled to come across lots of availability on the NightJet from Milan to Munich on 11th August and changed my plans accordingly.  I nearly finished booking the journey on the Night Jet website before having a look on Train Line and was gutted to see what looked like border controls in place between Austria and Slovenia just past salzburg .  From Trainline it looks like you get off the Nigh Jet at Salzburg and  get another domestic train to Freilassing, where you go through border controls, then get on another domestic train to Munich! Rather defeats the point of a sleeper train. Not mentioned on the Nighjet OBB website.   Has anyone experienced this journey with checks? Is my research right because I really want a sleeper and it’s not mentioned by OBB?From a quick google it seems the border ch

Hello everyone!I'm going on my DiscoverEU trip next week, and the  first train ticket, Warsaw-Berlin, is a paper ticket. While booking seats, the Interrail website does not let me put in my Latvian address, as the ticket will not arrive on time. Is there a way to get the paper ticket digitally and print it out myself?Thank you all in advance!

Hello everyone! I have received the DiscoverEU ticket, so therefore now I have the option to choose between flexible and fixed travel.I’m almost 100% sure to be taking the flexible option, but I’ve been struggling with the 251€ “budget”. I don’t get if (within a Travel Day) I can hop on ALL the trains I want, or either need to be writing down how much does each train cost and be careful about it?So that if I spend 200€ travelling to Sweden (for example), do i need to add 200-51 = 149€ of my own wallet for the journey back?

If on trains where seat reservation is mandatory and a person does not book it, can you still get on the train and travel? So if a person doesn’t book a seat when is obligatory what happens? 

Hello, I want to make reservations for my trip on the Interrail website. I add the desired reservations to the cart but the cart remains empty and it is therefore impossible for me to pay. Has anyone ever had this problem? I tried to contact Interrail support but they don’t answer. Thank you all. 

HelloWe want to travel (with our two kids) on a night train from Split to Zagreb in August (on a Monday night). The reservations tool seems to say we don’t need a reservation, which I am sure is not true! We want to book a couchette room so that we can all have a bunk. I have spoken to the Croatian railway company HZPP, but they said that with an interrail pass we can only reserve the couchette in person at the railway station. We will only be able to get to the train station on the day we want to travel. We can’t afford not to travel that night, as we have a tight schedule the next day. Does anyone know if it gets full up? Is it safer to book and pay for a couchette separately? it’s not expensive as there’s a special discount currently. Any thoughts very welcome! Thank you

Still on Monday I booked seat reservations from Vicenza to Milano Centrale, from Strasbourg to Paris Est and from Paris Est to Bruxelles-Midi. To this day I haven’t recieved the confirmation email with my seats despite the payment being processed and the bank report stating that the money has been collected by “Eurail Utrecht NLD”.It has been two days since I first contacted the support service and I recieved a single email by an operator on Tuesday in which I was asked to send the payment ID, thing that I did. After that I never heard anything from anyone. Also my seat reservation overview is empty. I should leave on Monday and there are no more seats aviable so I’m stuck in limbo seeing as my travel companion has managed to book his seats without any kind of problem. 

Hey! Am traveling from Hamburg to Copenhagen with 2nd class global pass. 2nd class seat reservations are sold out. Can I make seat reservations for 1st class ? The train from H. To C is NOT a direct train hoes via Flensburg abd Fredericia. 

Hello:) I looked for quite a while here for an answer of my question, but was not able to find a solution.I would like to book a reservation for the night train INI1960 from Siracusa (21:45) to Napoli (7:22). I would like to book two reservations for a private cabin. On interrail.eu it is just possible to book a 4 person cabin. On italiarail.com  I can select it, but due to the known issue with this website I can not book it (The problem is, that they want an 8 digit Passholder number which is not available on the mobile app). On trenitalia I could also book a 2 person private cabin, but of course the whole ticket, I am not able to just book the reservation.Which option do I have to buy just the reservation for a private 2 person cabin for this train?I was thinking a long time to purchase the Interail ticket. It is my first time, and unfortunately this train would be the first travel of my interailtrip, as I am starting in Siracusa, and for the reason that it is so expensive on the Tre

I want yo travel to ireland and i have a global pass intrrail. Can i use this going to ireland and how? 

Hi, this summer my girlfriend and I going to interrail in East Europe. We want to go from Sofia to Bucharest on the 5th of August, but it's impossible to book this train. Is there any other website to book this trip with our interrail ticket? Thanks for helping us out!

As I can’t make a reservation for the Bucharest Istanbul train online, and yet would like to avoid any potential disasters as I am travelling with my panicky father, would there be any way for someone to make the reservation for us at Bucharest train station/is there any way at all that I can make the reservation in advance: We will only be arriving in Bucharest a couple of hours before taking the train, so that’s why there could be a problem. In any case, how full would the train be likely to be in September? Thanks

Hi,My husband and I were originally scheduled to travel from Prague to Salzburg via train on August 8th. Our original schedule had us taking a train from Prague to Linz and then catching another train in Linz and arriving in Salzburg. I received an email that there is a “discrepancy” with our trip and that our connection may no longer be available. When I looked at the timetable (https://fahrplan.oebb.at/bin/query.exe/dn?start=1&S=Praha%20hl.n.&Z=Linz/Donau%20Hbf&date=08.08.2022&time=10:04), it appears that our original route is no longer available. Instead, it appears that we would need to take a train from Prague to Rybnik, take a bus from Rybnik to Linz, and then catch our original train from Linz to Salzburg. My question is: can I use my original ticket to board the new train and bus, or do I need to be issued a new ticket? I don’t see a way to change the ticket on the website without paying for it again. It’s also not clear on the timetable who the bus operator is.

Hello!It's the first time I'm using an interrail pass and I would like to have your advice on something. My sister and I were planning to take the night train from Hamburg to Fredericia on the 17th of August, departing at 23:56 and arriving at 4:39. According to the app, it's a train whitout seat reservations recommended. For more safety we reserved seats for all our journeys but I have a problem with this one : I can't reserve seats (I tried several websites) but I can buy tickets for 57,80€. The trains just before and just after can't take reservations either. We are staying only one day in Hamburg and we have a train connection at Fredericia so we don't have much room for manoeuvre. Do you think that we can take this train without reservations and not encounter difficulties or do you think that we should buy tickets even if it's a bit pricey?Thank you in advance for your advice,Océane

Hi:)So I’m leaving for my trip soon, and I need to add my pass to my phone, which doesn't work because I've added it on my computer (didn’t know back then I can only have it on one device). To remove it from my computer, I need to delete my trip. To delete my trip, it tells me I first need to delete travellers from the trip. If I click on edit travellers and want to select the only traveller (myself) to "delete this traveller", I can't select myself because "you can't delete this travellers details" with no explanation as to why or what I could do to change this. I need the pass on my phone so I have the tickets with me on the train.Does anyone know what I need to do? Did I just not get something? And sorry if there’s already an answer to this that I couldn’t find.I’m thankful for any advice!

Hi,I‘m German and during my Interrail trip I want to travel from Vienna to Innsbruck and I‘ve seen now that the only direct train for this journey, for a small bit, passes through Germany but the train actually has no stop there - My question is now am I able to use this train via Interrail without buying an extra ticket or using (wasting) a In/Outbound journey?

Hello everyone! I hope somebody could help me. I bought a 1st class One Country Pass for Austria. All the trains I will take are OBB Eurocity trains for which the seat reservation is not required.Given that, is it possible to stay in first class on EC trains without a seat reservation? 

Hi, i wondered if anyone could help me. The interail website is showing availabiltiy a 6 berth couchette on the 8th of August from Zurich to Zagreb. It allows me to add it to my basket and proceed to payment, but as soon as I click confirm it tells me that the journey is no longer available. But when i go back to search it still shows as available. Does anyone have an insight as to why this might be happening and whether the journey is actually available.Thank you

I bought a continuous pass during the sale a few weeks ago and am planning on using it next month. However, I have trouble with my account(s).I made reservations on the website, but after activating the mobile pass in the app, I do not see those reservations in the app.I do not see the trip I made on the website in the app, nor do I see the trip I made in the app on the website.It seems like they are two separate accounts even though both are connected to the same pass. Edit: How do you use interrail? The feeling I get now is that where possible you can use the QR code from the pass in the app, but for some trains you need to make reservations, and then you need to use the tickets you get in your mail, and not the QR code in the app. Is this correct?
