Get ready to travel

Sorry if this is a silly question - i have brought my interail pass a few months ago for 3 months global pass.My first train i go on using my interail pass is the end of July, if i register my pass on the app now, will my 3 months begin? Obviously i want my 3 months to start from end of July but i’m worrying about trains not having reservations by then!Getting a bit confused with how it works - any advice is appreciated!!

Im travelling europe and will end in Nice. Im trying to reserve a train journey (Nice-Stockholm) so i can travel home to Stockholm and be home by July 24th. When i try to reserve it says "prices unavailable temporarily" and has done so for many days now. How do i reserve seats? Does this mean there are no seats left? We are two people traveling.

Hello, everyone. I am trying to make a reservation train from Paris Gare De Lyon station to Barcelona-Sants with a Eurail pass 1st class tickets at 7/23 and the Departure time is 10:10(TGV 9713). But I cannot make a reservation because a delivery post could not arrive before I get on the train. I try to call SCNF (00 33 1 84 94 3635), reply that they couldn’t answer the call.Is there any way to make a reservation for this train? 

Good morning, trying my luck here too after contacting the customer service yesterday – my phone has crashed few days ago, leaving me with no choice than to reset it to the original setting. I had to download again all my apps back - however, yesterday when opening the Eurail app and adding the pass back, it says that “this pass is already activated on another device” and I’m not able to use it at all.I’m supposed to travel friday morning and just incredibly anxious that we won’t be able to go because of that. Is there anyone that can help me? Many thanks! 

Hello everyone !  I am having an hard time trying to book an Eurostar from Amsterdam to London with my Interrail Second Class Global Pass. Surprinsgly, it shows on the website that there is still seats available for the journey on the 3th of July, leaving at 01:15 pm and arriving at 05:00 pm.  However when I try to book it on the website, I cannot get past the “Review your order” moment, where it tells me that “Please try to find an alternative connection. The unavailable leg will be removed from your cart". Same thing on the b-europe website, where the train is also available, but when I try to book I have this red message :  I have tried calling the number but no answer for now. I am really really relying on this precise ticket so it would mean the world if someone could help me.  Thank you for your time and have a nice day. 

Goodevening to everyone,I’ve decided to open a new thread after reading several other ones.I’m going to have a little trip starting from Italy and going to Istanbul and return this Summer.The problem is, finding reservation for nightrains from Budapest to Bucarest is impossible via Eurail website/app: sometimes they’re not available, sometimes they are but they are paper ones and it takes too long to be delivered.A similar thing happens when I have to book seats for Bucarest-Istanbul night train: no seats available, or I have to make reservations but there isn’t any prompt to proceed to do so.I’ve read that is almost always better to make reservations not using Eurail app.My questions are:Why is the app not functioning? Are the seats likely sold out or is an internal issue?​​​​​​ For a future journey: should I book seats MUCH more in advance? I can reserve tickets online using railways websites, I know, but are they more expensive than the ones I could (not in this case, obviously) res

Hi,I'm trying to book a trip from Budapest to Videle, but the only option is to be sent by post. And when I try to book it says that ghd simulation don't think I can receive the tickets on time (eventhough it's for early August, so in more than a month), so I can't book. Also not working when I choose an expedition directly to Budapest.Any idea?Thanks

Hi community!I get this text when i shall activate pass; “change your first travel day up to until midnight the day before”does this mean i have to set the date one day before my actual first travel day?Anyone? 

Greetings,Used tickets.oebb.at to get by night train all the way from Zurich, through Budapest (Hungary), to Bucuresti (Romania) with the goal to reach Istanbul.  However, having issues trying to figure out how to get to Istanbul from Bucuresti.  Would love to take a night train from anywhere (Sofia to Istanbul, etc), however if not an option a day and multi-day trains are absolutely welcome.  We love trains so do not mind an adventure (have wife and kid with us so sleeping in a hotel/motel, train station probably no go).. Any suggestions how to book? Any cities to which Istanbul trains are confirmed to run? Any problems booking in person at the train station (if the only option) and return trip back from Istanbul?Any other advise, links, etc?  I’ll search in the meantime as it appears the topic is popular - no luck so far though getting an answer.  Eurail.com does not appear to work to search for Istanbul train tickets.. Thanks!George

trying to plan a trip with Trip Planner however Planner won’t accept French stations Aix-en-Provence or Sarlat.  Both stations are on the SNCF network and are reasonable size tourist destinations.  Can anyone explain why I can’t add these stations to my trip plan?  Thank you.

Can I book a train resv. without booking a seat so that I know I can get on if train is full?

I find the itinerary I want and there are no seat resv. required, but there is nothing to click on to book the trains I want.   It just says view cart at the end, but since no $ because I have the global pass the view cart is not lit up to click.  So how do I book this ?  

I tried to reservate a ticket for the Route from Bergen to Oslo on August the 4th at 1:49pm.I tried to contact the Entur Hotline but no one is entering the Phone. I already paid over 10€ for calling the Hotline.Now I tried to reservate a seat reservation at the Interrail website. But when I’m entering my adress (I also tried an adress in Norway) it always says that my order will not arrive on time. In my oppinion there is enough time till august the 4th. (My Journey begins on July 27th.) What is the problem? What can I do now?“Deine Bestellung enthält eine oder mehrere Fahrkarten in Papierform. Unserer Berechnung nach wird deine Bestellung nicht rechtzeitig ankommen. Bitte lasse deine Reservierungen an eine andere Adresse oder dein Hotel in Europa schicken. Alternativ kannst du versuchen, deine Reservierungen an einem europäischen Bahnhof zu buchen.”

Bonjour, J’essaye de réserver un siège entre berlin et varsovie le 15 aout, cependant la reservation est impossible sur le site interrail et les sites connexes des fournisseurs… Comment puis-je faire ? Merci d’avance  

Hello there. I need to travel from Prague to Amsterdam in August and this was my first time buying tickets through Eurail.I booked tickets to get to Amsterdam (MUENCHEN HBF to SIEGBURG/BONN) and (SIEGBURG/BONN to AMSTERDAM C).But the first part of the trip (Prague to Munich) I’m not sure what to do. It says “You can purchase a seat reservation if you wish, but it is not required.” and then “No price results were found for this connection. All seats for pass holders may have been sold out. Try to find another connection or see the "More information" section. and try other ways to make this seat reservation.” Will I be able to take that train to Munich without buying a ticket in advance? Is my Eurail pass enough or do I need to buy a ticket at the train station? Thank you very much!

I made a mistake.I registrer passport number for my daughter on her interrail global pass but her passport has been expired.I want to change this number and use her ID number which is correct.our first day of travel is july 8th.We need ti change beforePlease help us.Thanks

Hi !I’m new to the interrail community and I don’t understand the reservation process. I thought that with the mobile pass no tickets would need to be sent to me by post. However now that I try to make reservations via the interrail website some options appear marked as ‘delivered by post’, namely polish trains.Does it mean that I cannot book those online and have them on my phone but need to wait for them to be delivered to me at home ? Is it possible to make the reservation online via the interrail website and retrieve it physically once in a polish train stations ?Thank you in advance for your help <3 

Looking for some help.  Have a 5 day travel pass. And so far have spent two travel days, one on high speed trains (which I had to buy a reservation for and did so through the inter rail website) and one on regional trains (which has meant I haven’t had to buy reservations as they have been included). My next trains need a reservation. However, they are unable to buy through inter rail website (it says ‘n/a’ on the booking platform) The alternative option I’m given, is buy them at a train station.  My question is: if I buy a reservation at the station, will it be full price? And if it is full price, I don’t understand what the point of the inter rail pass is. I thought the inter rail pass would give me either free or cheap train fares. Surely if I buy in the station that wont be the case.  Any help to clear up my confusion would be greatly appreciated.  Cheers

Hi,I’m trying to reserve a ticket with Blue Star Ferries using my newly activated 4 day Greek Island Pass. When I reach the reservation checkout page it tells me that ‘the document is not valid for the date’. The date of the ferry I have chosen is definitily within the active dates of the pass so I’m not sure why it isn’t allowing me to reserve a ticket? Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this? It’s strange because I have reserved one ticket already using my new pass and it worked fine... Thanks,  Nick

Hello I’m gathering information for a trip I’m planning to take with my husband in late September into October - travelling from London, through France and into Spain and Portugal. We have global continuous passes (1 month). I know that there are some RENFE reservation issues but that one route to booking reservations is to go via DB phone line, armed with train numbers. I have the excellent European railway timetable which includes train numbers. Does anyone know if these will be the ones needed to book reservations (or is there a RENFE timetable change?) Does anyone know if all the trains can be booked now? I think some might not be available to book until neare the time but I am keen to book Eurostar both ways and the big France into Spain; Spain into France tickets before they sell out. Perhaps I need to do my booking in a few batches We will be travelling as a pair and want to have reservations together, obviously we have two seperate passes. Slightly stupid question, but is it ea

Hello hive mind!I want to book a reservation for the TGV 9240 from Milano Porta Garibaldi to Chambéry-Challes-les-Eaux. When checking the pricing for the reservation at https://www.eurail.com/, a price of about 120$ is shown. For this price, I would be able to buy 2 normal tickets including a reservation. Why is the price so high? And does anyone have a recommendation for a cheaper option?

Hi guys, some friends buy me the pass and they put on it uncorrect date of birth and uncorrect address. So i must change it but i don't know how to do it. Please help me.
