Get ready to travel

Hi guys,I got the interrail Pass in my app and I am wondering can the ticket be transferred to other people?Best regards,Yannick 

hi, how big is the luggage could carry on the train?

Hi, I’m from Sweden and have a problem with the inbound journey. I will arrive in Copenhagen in Denmark - close to the Swedish border - in the evening, and it is not possible to get all the way to my home town in Sweden (Hallsberg) that evening, and there are no night trains. So my plan is to stop somewhere in Sweden on the way home and sleep, and the pick up the journey again the next day. Could this be counted as one journey and be valid as the inbound journey? I’m not travelling around, just going strictly home, but due to the late hour that I’m crossing the border to my home country, I will have to do it in two steps. I have no problems with the validity date of my pass, nor the number of days I travel. 

Hello,while travelling from Munich to Bologna I was asked to pay 10 euros extra for using the Brenner-Pass. I wasn't expecting this, because i used the Reservation tool and thought I had done everything correctly... Did I make a mistake there? And how can I be sure, that I have paid every necessary reservation and fee.Thank you for your advice :)

Hallo, Travelers! I bought 5-Days-in-a-Month Interrail Pass for me, my wife, and my daughter (11 yo). But i did a mistake. Instead of buying a free Child Pass for my daughter, i bought her a Youth Pass (200ish EUR). I paid with Paypal, and i use Mobile Pass. How can i change the type of Pass and get the refund? Thank you.Regards,Fahmi

I have to travel tomorrow and my app have been showing me a warning saying that i have not connected to internet in 24 hours which it's not true. I uninstalled the app and installed again to see if that works but now i have a problem with the 'reactivation' of my pass. Now a message pop up saying: "There is a problem, the pass' data cannot be load, be sure you have a connection and try again later". Please, i don't know what to do and i have to travel tomorrow. THIS IS VERY URGENT!!!

Hi, I’m getting an error message when trying to activate my pass. Please see screenshot. It appears after I input my passport number. I’ve already enabled error logs on the app setting.  what can I do? I’m due to start my travels next week.  also, do I need to have the “trip days” planned with all the journeys listed on the app before I activate my pass? Thanks  

Hi there!Just have a question before a buy the global pass.We are a couple and we don’t know if I want to buy first or second class global pass. That depends on the price I have to pay to reserve a private bed for night trains.For example, if I have a first class global pass, is cheaper to reserve a private single sleeper in night trains or is the same price if I have second class global pass? For example, this 146€ private single sleep price is the same or different for 1rst or 2nd class holders? Or maybe 2nd class could not be able to reserve private single sleeper?  Thank you very much in advance!

Hi,I have a global mobile pass for 15 days travel over 2 months and have downloaded the Rail Planner app onto my Android device (Samsung). I have also downloaded the SNCB app for b-europe tickets.I have bought a few tickets for travel from both Eurostar and b-europe using my laptop.My first date of travel is this Tues July 12th, 2022. I have activated the mobile pass for that day so it says 1/15 travel days used. The ticket I purchased for the 12th July London → Paris trip was through Eurail/Eurostar via their website on my laptop. I have the printed tickets.I have bought other tickets eg Paris → Brussels. The b-europe tickets appear with a QR code in the SNCB app (but not in the Rail Planner app).I am confused about what to do next. My questions are:  Even though I have a hardcopy of the printed tickets for the 12th July purchased from Eurostar - do I need to get an electronic version of those tickets on my phone in the Rail Planner app? From the 16th July I next go from Paris → Bruss

I’m traveling tomorrow. I made my seat reservations online.  I can download and print those tickets and see my seats.  I have a mobile pass.  The pass is activated on my phone.  But it didn’t SEE the trip I had in my web account even though all the account info matches. So I added the trip again manually. But it still doesn’t show my actual ticket that I bought.  How can I show the conductor what I need to show them on the train?  I can show the paper ticket but that’s not mobile and my pass is. ?? Anyone know how to get the app to SEE what you have bought online?

Hi! I’m thinking about traveling with these trains because of the fact that other trains that I originally wanted to go on are sold out. If anyone has experience or an idea if there is enough time between these trains, please let me know! 

Hi,yesterday we discovered that our dates of birth are wrong on our cards. We want to leave on Saturday (tomorrow), just judging by all the responses, customer service will not respond in time. Is there a possibility to adjust it yourself? Because traveling with wrong data doesn't feel good.-Iduna

Hello, right now I am in a study abroad program in Spain. I am in Madrid trying to buy a ticket to go to San Sebastián and from there traveling in other spaces. I am not able to do so because the app won’t show a scanner for my pass and without that I am not able to buy my ticket and the pass is therefore invalid to me. Can someone please help me with this? Thank you. 

I activated my pass and put in the first day (outbound/inbound). But now I can't see it any longer in the app :( it's away but inbound/outbound ist 1/2. What can I do? I can also don't put new dates in. The journey should start at the 16.july next step ist 19.july... I am not able to put in something before the 19.july

HiI hope someone can help me and that I have not totally messed up! I am travelling with my children through The Netherlands, Belgium and France for the next 10 days and the best routes without the need for reservations seem to be from (1) Amsterdam to Ypres via Antwerp and then (2) Ypres to Lille where I have managed to get a reservation to Paris. I have left it too late for the trains that need reservations! I have a global pass. My questions are-— can I use these trains to cross the borders at Hazeldonk (into Belgium from The Netherlands on the IC9252) and at Tourcoing (into France from Belgium on the IC19722 )- what happens at these borders to passengers with UK passports? - if anyone has been though these borders on intercity trains can you give me an idea of what happens? Many thanksTJF Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone

Hello,  I have a question, I booked a night train seat reservation from Wien to Warsaw on 2nd of August using OBB website but when I check the Interrail rail planner app I don't see that train in the list, Can I still use this train using my Interrail Pass?

Hey there, We are two travelers from France and I personally wanted to share our experience with Renfe in regards of booking a journey from Barcelona to Madrid.I know, I’ve read a lot here about how Renfe is not conciliatory about booking trains from abroad. But come one, with tried every single option listed in the Interrail page for reservations (we even contacted Deutch Bahn but they never responded) and everything lead to nowhere. The lady at the phone from Renfe (who was very kind with us) told us that it was impossible for us to book this train in advance since we can’t withdrow our tickets more than 24h in advance. She couldn’t believe herself that there is such a lack of solutions for travelers like us.And here we are, 24h in advance, uncertain about whether we will make it or not in time to Madrid. Not to mention the cost of hostels and AirBnB in Barcelona…Is there anyway we can collectively notify Renfe that their service is not at all conveniant for Interrail users (I guess

Hi guys, does anyone know if this train really requires a reservation? In the app it says so, but I haver read on some sites that It isn't. thanks!  

Hi therehow to reserve kosice to Sibiu (leaving 0601 on 16/7) please? I’ve tried DB, national rail of sk/Hu/ro, as well as Interrail reservation site, but nothing seems to work.cheers

Following problem: I bought the mobile pass (as I have in the past) and did not realise my Iphone 6 is no longer supported by the app ( what I find highly annoying is that the app itself still runs perfectly on my phone, it is only when I want to add a new pass that it asks me to update the app - super misleading!). long story short, interrail refuses to give me a full refund despite me being unable to use the product I bought, so I was wondering whether it might be feasible to activate the pass on another person’s phone and let them add the trips I need, and then just have them send the screenshot of the ticket to me?

Hello, I am planning to do interrailing from Roma to Vienna, Vienna to Warsaw, Warsaw to Prague, Prague to Budapest and Budapest to Roma (Via Vienna). I would like to know if there can be any better route planner for this above itinerary? Also, when I checked for Vienna to Warsaw night train, The DBB or Interrail is not showing any trails but Poland Railway website is showing a direct night train (no stops). Can I book the seat reservation from their website? Thank you

Hello everyone,In September I will start my global interrail for 1 month and I have some doubts that after checking similar tickets they have not clarified my doubt. My last travel will be in montpellier and later i will get a train to visit barcelona , then i choose a train from france to spain  but i live in malaga,so my doubt is that if i go from montpellier to barcelona and stay 2 days in barcelona and later get a train to malaga, this is considered as 2 inbound journey or like i get a train in barcelona to malaga will be 1 inbound journey. Thanks and Regards

Hello All,I recently had a particularly unpleasant experience when asking someone politely to move from my reserved seat on a compulsory reservation train in the Czech Republic (IC 500). We ended up having to get the trains conductor and it got extremely aggressive. Are there any suggestions or helpful advice you can provide going forward? Thanks in advance,Ben :)

Hey guys.  I have an interrail trip starting tomorrow, from UK to Norway. I had all the sections planned out etc a month ago, and checked every so often, but this morning I read someone on reddit say that they had problems on the German sections especially Hamburg to Copenhagen regarding reservations absolutely required when the interrail info says you don’t need a reservation. Many others commented the same.I WAS going to travel from Brussels to Koln, then to Hamburg, then Copenhagen, on the 13th July. Seemed easy and was looking forward to it. Now I’m just really annoyed and confused that the information was wrong. Good job I saw the reddit post!   So the Interrail app and planner states no reservation required, but apparently it is? Now I cannot reserve the train/time that I require, as it is not possible. This interrail is kind of ridiculous. The app and the website don’t seem very good, and the seemingly low cost of the interrail pass now seems expensive as all the reservations ad
