Get ready to travel

I recently purchased an Interrail pass for Italy as a French resident. I am trying to book a direct train ticket from Paris to Milan for August 18th, departing at 9:46 AM, using this pass. However, I am encountering an error message in French that states: "Un ou plusieurs Pass ne couvrent pas ce trajet. Sélectionnez les voyageurs qui disposent d’un Pass valable sur ce trajet pour pouvoir réserver."Could you please help me understand why my Interrail pass is not being accepted for this route and how I can resolve this issue?Thank you for your assistance.

Hey, i’m trying to book my trip from Biarritz to Vigo. Every train however requires a reservation that i cannot book, it just says “No price results were found. Pass holder reservations may be sold out for this connection, but there are other ways to check for available seats—more info below our timetable.”I was able to book a reservation for every other trip, but i can’t book a single one for this one. Am i too late? Is there a different way I can book reservations? Are they mandatory or can I also do it in the train there?Im new to this, and i’m completely lost with this part.Thank you  if you are able to help! First part of the tripSecond part of the trip (it wouldn’t fit in 1 screenshot) 

Hello! I want to travel to Italy with the One Country Pass. I've just read that the pass is only valid on trains within Italy. Does that mean I have to pay for a separate private train ticket for a train journey from Germany to Italy? Thanks for your help!

Hi, I'm travelling with my partner and we want to go from Bari to Milano on the evening of 1st of May. There are two lines with direct night trains leaving at around 21.00 from Bari which is perfect. However I can't seem to be able to reserve the 2p sleeper, only spaces in 4p couchette, which is not preferable for us. I have tried through app.italiarail.com but can't get it to work. Booking without Interrail ticket seems to work though, so I believe there are still beds available.  Would really appreciate some help or advice!  

I would like to make reservation for next week on a fast train from Madrid to Cordoba. Do I need to book in person? 

I am trying to make bookings for a family of four, 2 adults and 2 children (under 12) for a trip from Oslo S to Bodoe via Trondheim. I was given to understand that RegionTog trains offer free reservation for First Class holders and that's what I was trying to do. But the App does not give any option for entering the Eurail pass. Also need a clarification, whether Night trains also offer any such free reservation for First Class pass holders? Thanks in advance for your time. 

I am looking for routes in Spain from Zaragoza to Vigo. (July)I can find the routes using other travel sites - even with Renfe trains but not through the Eurail site.  I have tried breaking the trip into segments and still no luck.Any tips or tricks?

HelloI booked a reservation a few months back via DB for the EC56 from Krakow Gl to  Berlin HBF. But now when I check the Eurail app/ site, that train isn’t listed. I have the Eurail 1st class global pass.How can I check that my pass is valid on that direct train?CheersJon

I would like to travel only in France. So I would like to buy a three days pass for France. There is a border in Geneva where we can only take trains to go to France.  As we have to cross a border, I wonder if this part of the station is considered as Switzerland or already France? Thank you

Hi, I’ve been on the https://www.interrail.eu/en/plan-your-trip/ for about an hour trying to plan a trip from Wales to Stuttgart. The journey requires 3-4 high speed trains. The trouble is - everytime I check seat reservation on this route, it says “sold out”. This is recurrent on every train I’ve searched across multiple dates. The route uses UK train (Avanti), eurostar, TGV and DB (or can avoid TGV if you go via Brussels. It’s just so odd that every single train across every single time period is sold out. I’m searching at the beginning of the summer holidays (late july, early August), but I can’t believe this is the case 3 months before departure. Is there something I’m missing? I haven’t used interrail for 5+ years, has it got really popular in the meantime?!

I would like to travel 11. august 2025 from Vienna to La Specia. Right now, I cannot see possibility to book a ticket in the train. I would like to be sure that this train will be really operated on this date. I can see only trains to Milan or to Roma. Could you please make me sure that this train is planned for the summer and from whitch date it will be possible to book a ticket for my travel.The connection is possible to book now, till 29.may.2025 later, it is written, that cannot be booked. I am trying to find when the tickets and if really, will be available.thank you

It says No price results were found.When I Click for more info it also says the service doesn't run everyday which includes my travel day 28th.Am I trying to book too far in advance? The Trip is for 28th June.  This is the trip Im looking at 

How I hate Interrail and I haven’t even started yet, so confused and think it would have been better and maybe cheaper to have bought tickets directly. Anyhow I want to go from Paris to Barcelona by TGV but it looks like I can make a seat reservation (expensive!) but can’t even choose my seat, really would like a window seat. can I get a seat reservation directly from SNCF or do they only sell tickets? Is there a cheaper train to Barcelona or one that doesn’t ned a seat reservation or one where I can choose my seat?many thanks

I have booked a 8 day pass and I have booked some reservations for a seat on some trains however I noticed that I need to also use Regional trains to get to where I need to go. Am I able to get on the regional trains without a ticket if I have bought a eurail pass?

We are trying to book a train from Ljubljana to Como. We have booked a train from Ljubljana to Villach HBF on the 16th of July, separate to the interail pass, as we didn't want to waste a travel day. We are going to spend the evening out in Austria and get a night jet in the early morning. On the the 17th, we have booked a night jet from villach HBF to Brescia (1:34 - 6:32), using the interail card discount, and then we are going to reserve a train from Brescia to Como (via Milan). Here is our planned route on the OBB website. The only thing is that we cannot find the train from villach to Brescia (or villach to como) on the interail app to add to our pass, so we have the QR code to accompany our seat reservations on the trains (which we need right?).Why can’t we find it on the app? Do I need to refund our reservation from villach to Brescia?  

I will arrive from Bari to Patras and want to catch trains from Patras in this orderPatras to Diakopto on day OneDiakopto to Kalavryta return on day twoOn day three Diakopto to Athens Halkali, arrival 9:20 urban transport to Sog and on same day Athens to Thessaloniki. The trains are all showing on Trainose and on European printed timetable. I don't anticipate any problems until day three when I want to travel to Thessaloniki on IC 52 leaving at 10:58 if possible. So, at last here is my question…..Can the Patras ticket office make this reservation, and is it reasonably likely that the train will still have room on May 13th? If not, are any of the later trains likely to have room? Crystal ball event, I know.Thank you 

Hi everyone, I haven’t bought my Eurail pass yet, but my family (6 adults and a 1 year old) are travelling for 14 days in Europe from 8/27 - 9/10. We will be going from Zurich to Interlaken, Interlaken to Geneva, Geneva to Brussels, then finally Brussels to Amsterdam. We assume the Eurail pass will save us money, but need to confirm that we can get from Geneva to Brussels. When I do the “Plan My Trip” feature through Eurail.com, it shows all trains into and out of Paris are sold out, regardless of the dates I use. Even if I try for mid summer. I’ve seen people mention b-europe.com and just want to make sure that is a legitimate website, because if so, our dates are available for Geneva-Paris and Paris-Brussels on 9/1 (our planned day to travel. Any insight into your experience is greatly appreciated 😀

Is there a problem with the trip planer? It looks like all reservations from Brussels to London are booked. But b-europe website seems to have plenty reservations for Interrail pass holders…

Hi all,actually I’m preparing for my travel around Spain that will be real in the next two weeks, I’m trying to book my reservation seats for a travel between Valencia and Alicante but at the moment I want to pay suddenly it says that there are erros with my data.I checked and my data are correct, I really don’t know and I also text to the assistance but I’m discovering that railpass is not amazing app for this. Do you know some other sites or app I can use just to book reservation?I tried to go directly on Renfe website but actually it just sell full ticket, I can’t book the seat reservation.It’s my first time interrail and it’s my first travel alone longer than a weekend, so please I’m bit scared that everything could go wrong, it would be nice to have all seats reserved before taking my flight to Spain.Thanks for any advices you’d like to give me! :) 

Bonjour! I’m traveling through France and I’m wondering if there’s an efficient way to figure out if a train station has escalators or elevators? I’ve tried to look at Gare SNCF websites (but it’s not always clear), or trying to use Google or Apple maps to see if there are elevator icons. I downloaded Ma Gare but it’s not super clear to me since they lump “disability services” together with everything. I have two suitcases (one very large) and a backpack so stairs were doable. Trying to plan more efficiently and get more accurate information. (also trying to plan for the future when I bring stroller) I discovered at Toulouse Matabiau there was only one hall with escalators to the platforms (luckily I was early so I walked over to the other hall. I only knew this because I happened to leave from there the week prior).Is there a way to see which platform/halls to take to make transit easier? Or is it just a no-go if you have luggage and just need to deal? I arrived in Narbonne two days a

I am an exchange student in Germany (non-european), but I already have residence permit for 6 months in Germany (my semester period) I want to travel to Switzerland and Italy in one trip, so which pass is available for me? Eurail Pass or Interail? Thank you in advance

We have 4 travelers in our group.  I created a travel plan and trip in my app.  I shared the link to all parties involved.  2 were able to add the trip to their app after clicking on the link and activating their passes.  The third individual clicked the link and it added to the app but says “it is not attached to a Pass”.   We are unable to add this trip.  When we logged into the account, it connected and downloaded the reservations that were created but won’t connect the trip we created with all the train travel for 5 days.  I would really like to avoid manually entering all the trips into their phone.   Any suggestions?

Hi all. So I am booking Bernina Express to Tirano, then I wish to travel onwards to one of Varenna, Lecco or as far as Milan. Trouble is that the Planner app does not show any reasonable routes. I can get as far as Colico (regional train RE87851), but then it indicates buses which leave next day at 4 in the morning! Surely there is a railway line right along the Lake Como coast thru Varenna to Lecco to Milan that I could use? UPDATE: MY travel date is Friday 23rd May 2025, from lunch time onwards. Checking other peoples similar questions, some line upgrades for Olympics are notified for June, but not for May

I’m traveling from Sitges to Paris via Barcelona in June and am entering the trips in my rail planner app. I have Barcelona to Paris taken care of with a seat reservation and have the trip uploaded in my app. However, I cannot find the Sitges train station on the app to add the journey from Sitges to Barcelona. I’m assuming this journey is covered by the Eurail pass and I can just add it manually? I realize I could just buy a cheap ticket from the station, but since I’m already using my pass the same day to get from Barcelona to Paris, I thought I might as well use the pass for the journey from Sitges to Barcelona that same day as well. Thanks in advance for the help!
