Get ready to travel

Hello all. My wife and I will be going to Murren for 5 days next month. On the 2024 Eurail pass coverage list for Switzerland, the pass now covers the trip to Lauterbrunnen, to Wengen, and to Murren if I read the list correctly. I tried testing out the Rail Planner by adding a journey from Lauterbrunnen to Murren. It let me enter the trip from Lauterbrunnen to Grutschalp on the cable car, but it does not allow me to enter Murren BLM as a destination. I’ve tried this on both the Rail Planner on my mobile app and on my desktop. I had read on the forum a few months ago that the trip, including the narrow gauge train from Grutschalp to Murren, was covered. Is this incorrect? Thanks.

Hi everyone. I am tossing up between the 2 months consecutive and the 15 travel days within 2 months pass. I have put my trip into the ‘trip planner’ on the Eurail website and I think I would be doing about 15/16 travel days. Is it worth the extra money to buy the consecutive pass to allow for more freedom if I decide to do a spontaneous day trip somewhere?The pass as a whole is confusing to me so I’m not sure if I am misinterpreting how it works. Any help or advice would be incredibly appreciated!Thankyou!!! 

My partner and I each have a pass on our mobile.   One of us will book tickets and make seat reservations for both of us.  How do we get tickets to show on both devices?  

i’ve been trying to add my interrail pass onto my sncf connect profile so I can book train seats directly on the sncf app (because sometimes i cant get them in interrail app). I needed to book a train journey which the interrail app said my be sold out so i went into Montparnasse station and asked them if they could help me book my seat reservation. they booked it for me and i asked if i could  have done it myself on the sncf website, which they said yes to! now I'm back home trying to book another seat reservation on the sncf, and I cannot find a way to tell sncf website/app that i have an interrail pass and therefore don't need to pay full price. has someone managed to figure this out? thanks!

Hi,I have issues with seat reservation. I used my Eurail Pass for Italy (Mobile Pass) to reserve seats via Eurail website. and I came across the following error. I did try different time and date with different routes, but, all had the same problems. Are there any issues with the booking site currently?ThanksDavid

What is the difference between promo and regular?

Hi to everyone. I have bought a 5 day in a month global pass which is mobile not paper. My plan is to use this pass from 03 to 07 th of July. Today I wanted to check my pass and suddenly I noticed that it was written the activation date is 24th of June. Bu as I’ve already said, I intentionally did not activate my pass since I will begin my teip on the 3rd of July. So, Please correct me if I am wrong, According to the activation date in the application (I did not activate it) do I have time until the 24th of July to really activate my 5 day pass?

Hi travler , how can i continue use my pass after the canceling the  day of Travel to my country of residence  on the same  day becouse of illness ? I still have 2 unused travel  days but nothing works anymore!?  

Hello, I'm contacting you to find out when I should activate my journey stages on the Rail Planner application? My Interrail pass is already activated, and I've booked all my tickets for my trip.Is it necessary to validate the journeys in order to validate the pass at ticket control? Thank you in advance

Hello For our trip in July from Brittany to Istanbul, we have made all the reservations through the Interail website and they are present in our “reservation part” in our account, but they do not appear in our “my trip” call “Rennes - Istanbul”.so how to  transfert them.Thank you.

I need to reschedule a travel day but I cannot cancel the original, I have tried everything please help, 

Hello, just checking I am understanding how to use the pass. We are a family of 4 using the global pass 10 days. Only 3 of our travel days require seat reservations and understand how to do those. However, on the other days, while we know where we are going, we want to be flexible with the times (these are just short journeys where reservations are not required). If I just click ‘use travel day’ on those days, will it show a ticket for the whole day, therefore we can use the pass on any of the trains, without having to input the specific journeys? We don’t know exactly what times we will be travelling and as I said, want to be flexible, so don’t want to be having to input trains last minute. Hope that makes sense! Thank you.

Hello, we didn’t understand the app and now maybe have a problem. We sign in in the app and make our resevation with the passa namber and our names following app instructions (we thought). So we have all our reservation, we recived by email and we have on paper and in the selfphone, but not in the app. will it be a problem?We leave tomorrow and are a little worried. Thanks

Hi, I’m from Italy and intend to make an interrail tour in Portugal and Spain. I will fly in to Portugal and fly out from Spain. Can I use my outbound and inbound travel days to travel within Spain/Portugal or are these only valid for travelling out of / in to Italy? To buy one-country-passes for Portugal and Spain doesn‘t make too much sense as at some point I will travel from Portugal to Spain… Looking forward to receiving your advice,Ursula

Hi, I hope you're doing well. I'm writing to ask for assistance with booking seat reservations for my Interrail journey. I already have my Interrail Pass, but I’m finding it difficult to book seats because it gets stuck loading. Does anyone know how to fix this?

From what I have read, it looks like you can only book a private compartment on the French sleeper (couchette, really) trains if you buy tickets directly and not if you buy using a pass discount.Or, to put it another way, if you book with an Interrail pass you have no choice but to be in a shared compartment.This post indicates you can/might be able to book by calling SNCF, but it’s a year old and things change.Can anyone advise if you can book a private compartment over the phone?  My train dates aren’t on the system yet so I don’t think ringing SNCF to buy a hypothetical ticket will end well.Is there is any other way to ensure a private compartment?And finally . . . is this just something the booking engine can’t support, but SNCF can, or is it just a programming/loading oversight?

We are hoping to limit the number of phones we have with us and I’m wondering if we can load two passes on one device.  Also, how do we upload child passes?

HiWe are currently planning a trip that includes a long day from Munich, Germany to Newcastle, UK. (Munich to Paris by ICE / Eurostar Paris to London / LNER train to Newcastle)In theory this is very doable with the correct allowances made for connections etc… ...however I am concerned what happens if a train is delayed to the point that we would need to continue on the following day.I’m not too concerned if the ICE causes us to miss the Eurostar as I know they are typically pretty good with this, it’s more that final trip from London to Newcastle. Say we are delayed such that we end up on a train that arrives into London on the Saturday after the last train to Newcastle has departed my understanding is that we would then require a hotel and a train on the Sunday. The two key questions are:What are we entitled to in this situation? How does one prove /obtain that entitlement?

I’m about to buy my first interrail pass: 15 days and I will travel during one month in Eastern Europe. Would you say it’s worth to spend about 100 euros extra for a first class pass? I might be traveling alone so could it also feel a bit safer? 

Hi All I hope someone can kindly helo me. I like to know  if I can use a global interail pass on Eurostar? if so does anyone know the cost of a seat reservation. what types of  reservations i can make with a 1st class interail ticket and 2ndclass interail ticket.Also like to know the reservation costs for below , but i am unable to find a site which  allows me to find out and arrange the total travel, connections etc... Lille Europe to Valence TGVValence TGV to BarcelonaBarcelona to Alicante Thanks fo  any help

End of July, I’m traveling from Germany to Sicily, so far, so good. For my way back, 12th of August 2025, I would like to take the Inter City Notte from Milazzo to Milano. Somehow, there is no possibility yet to get seat reservations in August. Is there a problem with the railway or is it just too early to book? Thank you :)

The seat reservations in shopping cart have expired and can’t be removed. Have accumulated an unwanted amount in cart. How do you empty shopping cart?

Hello everyone! I purchased a Eurail pass and booked seat reservations from London to Amsterdam a week ago with no problems. I am now trying to book seat reservations from Amsterdam to Warsaw. I was able to secure the seat reservations from Amsterdam to Berlin, but when I go to book them from Berlin to Warsaw, it gives me the following message: “No longer available. This seat reservation is only available as paper ticket and can't be delivered to you in time. Try booking in person at the station.” My main concern with this is that when I arrive at the Berlin station (with 2 hours in between trains) that all seat reservations will be sold out. I don’t want to spend money on actual tickets as I have gotten the pass and would like to use the seat reservations. I would appreciate help with this if anyone has had experience with the same thing in the past or has any advice that might help me! Thank you so much in advance!!

BonjourJe suis résidé a Paris J’envisage de voyager plusieurs régions en France Le pass continus de 22 jours ou 1 mois est utilisable pour voyager ?Par exemple :  un aller retour une journée de Paris à Le Havre, un aller retour de Paris à Tours,un aller de Paris à Bordeaux puis de Bordeaux à Dax et le lendemain de Dax à Tarbes, etc Juste pour savoir si ce pass continus est utilisable, c’est  pour remplacer le pass rail MerciCordialement

This will probably sound like a stupid question but the instructions are not clear to me.I have an electronic pass. I have set up a trip which will start in the middle of August. I have all the reservations for the journeys that require them, all but one I got from the train lines.The website and app make it seem like I need to add, somehow, all the journeys that I will be taking.   I have a list that I have made with all the details-date, times, train, etc.  For those journeys that don’t require a reservation do I just show the pass on my phone when I board?Thanks
