Get ready to travel

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? 

Hello,It is my first Eurail trip, and I travel with a friend. We have planned to take a High speed train the 24/07 at 6h55 with the pass (ICE 9571). However, since I have activated my pass in may, i cannot make any seat reservation on this specific trip (all of the other reservations have been done normally). I thought that it was because we could only reserve few days before the travel on this train. Yet, it is still not possible and I start to worry (knowing I have to take it in 4 days), wether I will be able to start my trip with my friends or not.I have seen that some people were provided a pass cover number, like a miracle solution. Therefore how does it work, and how can I obtain one ?Best regardsMichel

Hello, quick question to confirm that I am understanding this correctly.  I should be able to book reservations for our Eurail/Interail tickets, Barcelona to Cadiz, return on Deutscha Bahn by ringing them?  

Is there a refund available for a Global Pass if, due to unforeseen circumstances, one is unable to use the pass ?   If I call to clarify ticket issuance, will someone there speak English ? Thank you,Joy Harper

Hi everyone,  Does anyone know if the ÖBB (railjet) reservations for interrail pass holders are limited the same way for instance Eurostar reservations are? Can I just book a reservation on the ÖBB main homepage or am I bound to the interrail website? Background: For some reason booking a seat doesn't work with the interrail website, I wpuld have to book it at a ticket machine of the departure station. I am only in said city for a shortish transfer time and don't particularly fancy stranding there in the middle of this extreme heatwave. Depending on my chances of not being taken on board I would want to readjust my travel plans. Thanks for your help! Edit: Sorry for the "??" in the title, that was lazy editing. Can't be changed retroactively. I am not mad, I promise!

I am going on interrail this summer with a friend and we have serious problems with reservations! First my friend and I do not have the same timetables in our app and then the reservations are impossible to make at any date in poland, they say that they are fully booked at any date or time.

1. Why do I get notifications like "tomorrow is a travel day but you haven't added anything yet" while I have added all my reservations?2. Why is the flag of Monaco not shown in the statistics?Anyone who knows? Thanks in advance. 

My wife & I are on a train now travelling between Como, Italy & Basel, Switzerland.  We bought reservations because they were required for this train, or so we thought. The aisle in our car is packed with people standing up.  There is no way to get up to go to the WC, etc.  I was under the impression that you had to get a reservation even to get on the train.  Since one of my future reservations for train travel never arrived in the mail, I figured I would not be able to get on the high-speed train and would have to book a slower train that would delay my arrival for 4 hours. Now that I see that these  people are allowed to stand up for duration of the trip without reservations, I was thinking of doing the same for my trip between Narbonne, France & Barcelona Spain, since the reservation I bought never arrived. Finally, my question ... .  Are passengers with tickets and no reservations generally allowed to stand in the aisles for the duration of their trip even though reser

We travel with a global pass. We travel with our Identity card but we entred the number of our passport in our mobile pass. What can we do now? 

Bonjour, Pourquoi certains trains sont indiqués comme non disponible avec le pass. Comment cela se passe t il alors , si l on se passe du site railplanner, qui ne fonctionne pas comme tout le monde le sait...,et que nous choisissons n importe quel train sur un site quelconque, tcheque, polonais, italien ou autre et que justement cette restriction ne soit pas signalée. Risquons nous une amende alors ?Merci

Good afternoon guys, I am trying to understand the Eurail Global Pass. (New to Europe). Hope you guys can help.So it would be a family of 11 persons. 3 adults, 2 seniors, 4 youths, 1 child, 1 infant. ( I realized the child and infant are free). Travel Dates 27th December 2022- 14th January (thats the time we have allotted for going to the different cities).Cities we have in mind( bare in mind we will be based in London so at of the week we will return to London): 1st Week: Amsterdam, Brussels & Luxembourg then back to London 2nd Week: Paris, Switzerland & Italy then back to LondonMy questions are:Travel Day; Can we use “one travel day” to Brussels and then lets say Antwerp on the same day as long as its before 11:59pm?  Seeing that it is 11 of us, do we have to reserve seats for any of those routes?  Is it possible to have all 9 passes on one device?

Quick question - we are travelling from Paris to Caen on Friday 5th August and are, so far, unable to book online as there are no reservations remaining.  According to the Eurail advice, we can buy the tickets at the station.  Will these be at our Eurail/Interail discount or will we be paying full price?

At the eurail website they say I have to change trains 1x. On the Austrian train connection website they say I have to change trains 2x. Which one is right?My journey will be from Zurich to Ljubljana and will definately make 1x stop in Schwarzach St. Veit (Austria).

Hi everyone :) I want to book a Seat reservation for the train from Frankfurt HBF to Paris Est since it is mandotory. However, neither in the interrail nor the DB website is it possible to book it. I am currently in Kopenhagen so i can't go to a ticket machine and try it there. I do have to take this train so i dont know what to do. Anybody got some suggestions? :)

Hello,The questions below refer to the seat reservation in the interrail portal. Assume traject Hamburg-Stockholm August 4 departure 10:53, Stockholm-Kiruna august 5 departure 18:11)1.Whenever I make a reservation in interrail portal that combines several legs from different train operators all involving reservations: do either all of them succeed or all of them fail, or either some of them succeed (and I am charged for) and some not?2. In the case that the there are several trips, (e.g. Hamburg-Stockholm on august 4, and Stockholm-Kiruna on 5th), each trip added separately in the cart, do all of them success, or in could be that some of them succeed and some others do not?Below it is my understanding of how the reservations work. Maybe it could help some other people . Please correct me if I am wrong1.An overview of the availability of seats/couchetes is not always provided in the interrail reservation page. (e.g. it may allow you to book). However, you need to commit to the reservati
