Get ready to travel

Hi! help pls so i’m planning to go to hamburg, i already made my reservation from Barcelona to Paris, and i have a 50 min time to make the connection. When i made this reservation (Barcelona-Paris) the guy in the ticket office told me he could only make that one, not the whole thing all the way to Germany. I was confident (i know now i was wrong) that i would be able to do it one day early. Im trying to make the reservation for Paris-Frankfurt and i cant, but i checked other days and I cant any day, it says“no price results were found for this connection. is it possible that the train is fully booked for pass holders…”but i checked on the DB website and they still have seats. i don’t know what to do, i have only 50 min in Paris and i’m afraid they won’t give me the seat. please help ):  (i also tried other dates and it always says that) (and i checked on interrap, BD, others and idk what to do should i just try when i get to paris?) 

Hi, I want to book a reservation from Paris to Frankfurt (the first train of my trip...) but when I go on the websites it says the prices are unavailable at the moment and I should try later. The weird thing is that when I connect with another navigator it shows me the price (13€) but an error occurs when I want to proceed to payment.Do you know if that means the train is full ? Can I buy a ticket in a station instead ? Thank you

We are 4 passengers travelling to Paris tomorrow 22nd June via the Eurostar. We are unable to reserve our seats as it is asking for Pass Cover Number which we don’t have as we have mobile passes. Urgently need 4 pass cover numbers so we can reserve our seats immediately.  Please help.

We are reaching Chur via Bernina Express only at 6:20 pm in the evening.  When I look for tickets from Chur to Zurich for that evening - there seems to be only 2 trains left and they dont take reservations.  What if the trains are full and I am traveling with a party of 4?  How do i buy tickets to any other train from Chur to Zurich.Can you send me details of other regional trains or operators where I can buy ticket to Zurich using EU Rail pass?

I installed the Interrail Rail Planner App, added my pass and tickets but now it refuses to open: my mobile is always shutting down, when opening it. What can I do?The customer service’s advice wasn´t helpful. The prior condition was always a started app e.g. for error logging and so on. But as I wrote: The mobile (Iphone SE (2016) IOS 13.1.2), is shutting down after starting the app before I can do anything.

I’m kind of stressed out because I can’t seem to be able to book the night train from Budapest to Timisoara. Or Split to Villach Hbf. Nor the train from Timisoara to Craiova.  i found alternative trains but now I am too late to order them or even send them to my hotels address as I leave in a month. What do I do?

Hi!I want to go from Barcelona to Bologna and the Railplanner app suggested the following route:9:10 Barcelona-Sants13:32 Valence TGV Rhone-Alpes Sud26 min Change trains13:58 Valence TGV15:39 Chambery Challes Les Eaux5 min (!!!) Change trains15:44 Chambery Challes Les Eaux18:15 Torino Porta Susa55 min Change trains19:10 Torino Porta Susa21:24 Bologna I realize this is a more than a 12 hour trip, but I have no problem with that. What I am concerned about is the 5 min change in Chambery Challes Les Eaux, is that even possible? Does you guys know if those trains leave from the same platform or how I could find that out beforehand?Also: There are “Seat reservations required” on the trains crossing the borders (30-35€ each) + the last trip Torino → Bologna (10€). Does that actually mean that you have to book reservations in advance? This far in my trip I have, but I haven’t been checked in all the reservation required-trains this far and was wondering if it really is necessary to pay for th

Hi I'm planning to do this this July, its a bit ambitious but it should be possible. I'm wondering if anyone has some advice as to how early I would need to book all these trains. (Also bearing in mind we're arriving in Paris on the le Fête National.) Thanks

I would like to book a train from Paris CDG airport to Lyon, however, the eurail reservation website says it is unavailable, and suggests for me to go on to the train station.  I also tried to book on SNCB, it is unable to do so. I would like to avoid booking fees 2€, is it possible to try on any other websites? And based on experience, is the Paris to Lyon train crowded?

Hello all,I wonder if somebody can help me. We went to board the glacier express on May 12, 2022 and I tried to add the trip to my pass and I was unable to do it in the app. However, I was successful to add the rest of my trip. I bought the Global pass for 7 days travel within 21 days. I tried asking for help with 2 OBB offices one in Bern, Switzerland and one in Brigs before hopping into the Glacier express. Both had told me that the glacier express should be covered by the Eurail pass. When we board the train I explained to the conductor my issue. The conductor proceeded that if I’m not able to produce a ticket that he has to charge me and to sort the issue with Eurail. He charged me 1,165.00 swiss francs for the 5 of us. He gave me the receipt and stating that I could not activate the train tickets in the app. I e-mailed Eurail right away that day and attached the receipt and the issue. 1 month later I got an e-mail from Eurail and stated that there will be no refund will be issued

Hi!I’m trying to book sleeping compartments for my friends and I on the night train from Trondheim to Bodoe in Norway. But when I try to book the ticket, I can’t chose between the simple seats and the sleeping compartments. Does anyone know how I could book a sleeping compartment with an interrail discount ?Thank you in advance!

we are in Norway from 27.07-14.08 and have planned our trip with the app Rail Planner. Unfortunately we can't book any reservations under "https://www.interrail.eu/de/book-reservations" because it says that the tickets arrive too late at our place (Austria).How and when can we make the seat reservations?Thanks in advance for the support!

Hello! My train pass (7 days within 1 month) was purchase 16 June, 2022. I am hoping to travel next summer (May or June 2023). I know I have to activate my pass by 11 months after receiving it (so 16 May, 2023). Does this mean all of my travel dates must be before 16 May, 2023? Or can I activate it on 15 May and travel through the end of May and into June?

Hi all , I am from Ireland and for most of my train journeys it says i need seats but when i try reserve them it says i wil not get them in time ? can i go inott the Dublin train station and sort all my seats from in there ? or what is my options ? any feedback would be a great help.

I know that it’s not possible to make Spanish reservations on the Interrail app and you have to make them in person at a train station in Spain (absolutely crazy!). I am planning to get to Spain on a Sunday, but want to take another train on the Monday, if I go the ticket office in the first station I arrive at in Spain, how likely is it that trains for the next day will be ‘sold out’? Or trains for 3 or 4 days later (especially the high-demand Madrid > Barcelona train)?  Thanks for any experiences/info.PS I am travelling in late October

I asked customer service eurail b.v.  the “passcover numbers” of our mobile interrail passes.  I didn't get it because I didn't mention a specific reservation.  I see in the forum that many request this under time pressure.  I also know that it is only necessary with a limited type of reservations.  To avoid that stress, I already requested the passcover numbers for our three-month interrail passes, which we will probably use in a few months.  That you need a specific reservation question to get these numbers: is that new or has it always been the case?

Dear sirs,I'm going to Denmark, and I plan to buy tickets from Kopenhagen to Gottemburg, from Gottembur to Oslo, from Oslo to Stockholm, and from Stockholm to Copenhagen, now, in July.I am a wheelchair user and would like to know if there is accessibility at stations in Scandinavia, as well as on trains, for wheelchair users

I booked my reservation from Brussels to Barcelona and made the payment, but I got an email from you saying that, although you received the payment, due to technical glitch the reservation couldn't get through. I replied to the email choosing the option that you will rebook it for me. However, until now I cannot see the reservation neither on our app nor your website. Please help me! I cannot reach a human at EU Interrail. I have written them several times but they haven't responded yet... 

Hello, I am traveling to Europe in 2 weeks and for one of my trains in Italy I have a reservation booked from a specific station. However, due to a change of plans it would be a lot easier for me to hop on the train at a later station. Can I just hop on the train with the same reservation ticket I already purchased? After all it’s the same exact train just 2 or 3 stops after the one my ticket says. Any help would be greatly appreciated.  

Has there been some kind of IT failure today? I was unable to activate any journeys this morning and afternoon. I still cannot, at 10 pm. Updating the App has lost my trip. This happened at Interlaken and is stii happening af Brig. I need help urgently

Hi! → Have there been any updates on the night train from Thessaloniki to Belgrade? If no, what’s the best way to do so, and how long would it take? → Then, I want to go from Belgrade to Budapest, but I am also struggling… Does anyone know how?Thank you for your help!

the two global pass travelers have the wrong birthday date. I believe it was a system failure. we are both a day older. is there any problem ?

I’m planning to make a trip from Italy to France and from France to Spain. One day of travel is giving me problem, moving from Bordeaux to Madrid. The Rail Planner notifies the need for reservation, but it seem that all the reservation seats are unavaible. The problem is that there is no alternative and going with regional train needs something like 38 hours and a radical change of the itinery. Can someone help for the reservation or suggest alternatives? Thanks

As many have asked before, I need my pass cover number for my mobile pass. This is urgent as travel is for tomorrow. There are seats available but it requires my pass cover number. The Eurail interface for reserving seats is bugged out basically all the time so I can’t book them there. I have already tried calling SNCF but as I am booking from London to Paris on Eurostar they said they cannot help me. Please any help is appreciated. I have submitted a form already but fear it won’t be responded to in anywhere near enough time.

I mean, if I want to go from Spain to Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam and I want to spend a couple days in Paris and Amsterdam, I buy a ticket for the days I use tue train to travel to those places or for the duration of my full trip?
