Get ready to travel

With a global pass, when taking an inbound/outbound trip can I take more than one train? Meaning, do they count as travel DAYS where you can travel within your country of residence ilimitadly or rather a single trip where you HAVE to get out of your country? 

Hola a todos, me llamo Juanes y tengo 18 años, vivo en Valencia (España) y viajo compañeros para Junio/Julio para hacer el Interrail. Mis destinos preferidos podrían ser Alemania, Italia, Suecia, Países Bajos, Francia, Finlandia y muchos mas… Aún no tengo ningun itinerario hecho asi que si quieres podemos hacer un juntos. Si quieres contactarme puedes hablarme por IG @juxnxs.

My app says my validity period is "15 Dec 2022 - 14 Jan 2023" Does that that mean I have until the midnight of the 15th of Jan to use my pass? I just want to make sure because I plan on taking a train the day of the 14th and don't want to have pay for the train when I can plan around it.

I booked a 7 day eurail pass and then made train reservations. I realised I don't need a 7 day pass. A 5 day pass is sufficient. Can I cancel the 7 day pass and book a new 5 day pass? Will be reservations still be valid?

Hello everyone! I’m travelling in Switzerland and Italy in early August this year, and I came across the Treno Gottardo (https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2022/may/04/rail-route-of-the-month-basel-to-locarno-the-slow-swiss-alps-classic) train which I want to take from Lucerne and Locarno. According to the Guardian article linked, it runs on a scenic old route even though its longer and takes more time, and is run by SBB.My question is this: Is travel on this train covered under the Eurail Global Pass? Also, does this have both 1st and 2nd class coaches? Any guidance on this would help me plan better!  Thanks everyone :) 

Buenos días, compré dos pases eurorail, que duran dos meses y tienen 15 días de viaje cada uno.Bajé la aplicación a mi móvil.Mi idea es usar los pases entre el 27 de abril y el 27 de junio de este año. Pero tengo urgencia por hacer una reserva para el 10de junio porque sé que es un viaje que se agota pronto.Entonces, mi pregunta es: CUAL es la  ACCIÓN  que ACTIVA EL DIA 1 DE LOS DOS MESES QUE DURA EL PASE??Si yo ingreso a la aplicación lo primero que me aparece en pantalla es un botón de “EMPEZAR” . Eso implica que activo el primer día de los dos meses de uso de mis pases? Si yo ingreso a la aplicación (supongamos que empezar en la aplicación no tiene nada que ver con la vigencia del pase), y reservo un viaje para el 10 de junio, el queda activado a partir del 10 de junio? No podria ya usarlo en un viaje anterior a esa fecha? Venceria entonces el 10 de agosto? socorro, gracias 

I have reserved some seats for this summer n the interail website this morning, the tickets came through as PDFs on my email but when I try to open them on the Interrrail app nothing comes up.  when i download them from the interail website they appear as Zip files I went to Trenitalia and put in my email and PNR to see if I coudl get them on the app but it says “trip not found”.  have I just checked too soon?Any clarificartion would be great thanks in advance

Hello,my Friends and I are planning a trip trough the Balkan states.In the Balkan states, only very few connections are shown on the official railway map, for example in Serbia. Is it possible to take trains that are not registered at the Railwaymap, like regional trains, with the Interrail pass? Thanks for help

I am trying to book two seats on the train from Zürich HB - Milano central on 25 July 2025.I have tried ÖBB, SBB and Trenitalia but with no luck. On the ÖBB ticket site (which is the most used for this as I understand) it says “tickets not available” for all departures on that specific route.Have they completely stopped selling seat reservations for this route? And in that case, do you have any recommendations on how to go about it?best regardsMagnus

Ok so I’m planning on going from Berlin to Gdansk and the PKP app is saying I can do a one stop journey in Poznan but the app is saying I have to change in Frankfurt (Order), Rzepin, and Poznan. This is super confusing as the train from Berlin to Poznan stops at all these stops (Frankfurt (Order), Rzepin, and Poznan) so I don’t understand why it’s listed as a train change? The journey also starts earlier than the PKP intercity says but gets in at the same time? It says 10:59-2:32pm on the rail app but 11:52-2:32pm on the PKP intercity. I have made reservations on the PKP intercity app for the two journeys but I’m a bit worried as the journeys I have selected on my pass don’t align exactly with the ones on the Rail App. 

Hello,I’m currently planning a trip from Montpellier (France) to Umeå (Sweden).The thing is that the Rail Planner proposes a 24 minutes connection time in Hamburg Hbf, and it seems like a tight one.I’ve heard a lot from other travelers that German trains are often late 😅 So I’m a bit afraid, as this is the connection to take our big Euro Night from Hamburg to Stockholm. Can’t miss this one.So, what do you think? Is it safe?Thanks a lot! 😄

Hi! My friends and I are planning the Interrail. We must go from Venice on August 14th and return to Venice on August 19th (we have the flights booked). We wanted to see Munich, Zurich and Brussels, but we don’t know if there are night trains avaible or which cities are better to go from Venice.Thank youuu!!!!

I wanted to ask anyone that has booked seats using OEBB. Usually on other timings they provide a seat reservation as I checked but for this one there isn’t an option. Does anyone know if OEBB assign seats together when booking for multiple passengers?

Do my payments for reservations get deducted from my Eurail balance?If this is meant to happen it’s not working.Please help.

I have paid for the reservations, but I haven't received the reservation email because I don't have space in my email address. Can I change my email address to another address and have the PDF with the reservations sent to me again?

Hello. I am planning on purchasing the 7 travel day pass within a month. My trip is expected to be from 15th June until 5th July and was wondering if I am able to use some of my travel days during the month of July? 

Hi all,For those that have purchased a paper pass is the pass number the same as the order number on the receipt email ? starts IN followed by 8 digits ?This maybe just wishful thinking as I want to get on and reserve my Eurostarthanks so muchL    

I have an idea on using the pass but I’m not quite sure if this works. So I’m planning to hit 13 cities in 2 months which is like 12 travel days but getting a pass for (15 travel days) is considerably expensive compared to the 10 travel day pass. Could I just buy regular tickets for the two cheapest destinations in my planner and use the 10 travel day on the most expensive train rides?. Cause I never done interail and was wondering whether they would be a problem if I started a travel day on a city that I never got off with the pass if that makes sense

We are a family of 3 and although frequent train travelers in Europe, this is the first time we are using the Interrail pass and… we are a bit confused. :)We will be traveling on the 5th of July using the Global Pass 7 days in a month in its mobile pass version. The outbound journey is from Vienna Hbf to Peschiera del Garda, which we want to do using the NJ233 (direct).It’s peak summer and a Saturday to boot, so we thought of reserving the tickets asap. Reservations are already available on the OeBB website for this journey (I’m able to buy the ticket using the Interrail discount as shown in your instructions and videos), but the NJ233 does not show up on the Planner in the App for that date. My question is, after buying the reservation on the OeBB website, how to I add this journey to my trip? Should I do it manually, or just wait till it becomes available on the Planner and then add it? I’m under the impression that I need to have this journey on my trip (and that of my family member

I am going on an eurotrip with my girlfriend but i am running into a few problems. one of them is reserving a train seat. When i try to reserve one i get one of two messages.-sold outthe other is-Too early to check for seats.Start checking 150 days before this journey's departure or search for an earlier date. Today i tried buying tickets for the 7th of august but i think i was too late. I want to know what i can do so i wont have a problem.

Hi, we are a family of 4 traveling in July. Our plan is to start in Zurich, train to Venice, 2 days in Venice, train to Rome, 2 days in Rome, train to Salerno, 2 days in Salerno, train to Florence, 2 days in Florence, and then final train to Zurich.Should we be getting a Eurail pass? If we get a Eurail pass, will we have to pay anything more when we make our reservations for each routes?If we get 1st class Eurail pass, do we then have to pay extra on the individual trains or does the pass cover the cost of the 1st class seats?I’m so confused on what to do. Do I use Italiarail, Trainline, Omio??? 

Please read first and if you still have questions start a own topic to keep this post as Informationpost as clean as possible. This post is made by @rvdborgt  @AnnaB@runner.on.rails  @Angelo and myself. Planning/Timetables:Many of you will notice that the Railplanner of Eurail will have sometimes different times of the trains as other Websites/Apps. Or evenworse the railplanner wont show any train for your desired Route. The Railplanner of Eurail only shows the timetables that are shared by the Railcompanies unfortunately not all Railcompanies share these and even update it not frequently. The Result is that the Railplanner of Eurail is not always uptodate and because ofthat I and other experienced travelers recommend to use the Local Websites and Apps to check the times and even book the reservations with them (when possible).Below here finally the main words :D Hi if you are useing a Railpass there will be the point that a train needs a Reservation 🙂 Many of you ask where to get a r

Hello!I’ve been trying to book Barcelona To Nimes on May 31st  and I can’t reserve any seats. It looks like there are trains available (if I buy directly and paying full amount) but when I try to book seats only they become unavailable.  I am afraid all seat reservations will sell out when I arrive Spain. So what can I do now so as to get the seat reservations? Thanks everybody! 

We are travelling through Europe from June 5 to July 1 and our itinerary is very flexible. If we buy the pass for 7 travel days can we use it randomly based on where our travels take us as we may want to use flights and train as the mode of travel   

Puh, nun habe ich eine neue Reise auf der Webseite angelegt und zwangsweise mit dem Pass verbunden (den ich noch nicht aktiviert habe!). Ich hoffe, das gibt keine Probleme? Irgendwie muss man ja eine Ordnung reinbringen, um nicht den Überblick zu verlieren. Kann ich mehrerre Reisen mit meinem Pass auf meine Person anlegen, oder muss ich alles in eine Reise packen? Und wenn es so wäre, kann ich dann einfach eine Reise löschen?Warum muss das so kompliziert sein ….
