Get ready to travel

Hola! mi nombre es Sandra. Es mi primera vez utilizando el Global Pass. Mi pregunta es la siguiente:Hice algunas reservas como Eurostar o algunos AVE. Tengo reservado el Bernina Express para una determinada hora en mayo. Como el tramo de Milano a Tirano no requiere reserva, no es posible reservarlo. Tengo miedo de quedarme sin lugar para viajar a tirano y perder el Bernina, ya que tengo los horarios un poco justos. Es común que se quede sin lugar ese tramo? Me conviene reservar otro billete aparte del global pass? Gracias!!

Hi all, hoping someone can clairfy - first time using trains in Europe and want to enusre we get the right one.  Thinking of doing a trip to Italy(overnignt in each maybe 2 overnights  - Rome, Pisa, Bologna and return.  One site says we can use Eurorail but another one says to use interail.  Does anyone know? which ever one we purchase, do we still require to make a reservation?  

Hello. I have a Global Pass. I booked a trip on the Caledonian Sleeper from London Euston to Inverness for May, 2025 using the room supplement option on the Caledonian website. This is available for Interrail Pass holders and covers only the sleeping compartment, not the train ticket. When I pull up this connection on my Rail Planner there appears a notice that seat reservations are required for this train. Since I have a sleeping berth, I don’t need a seat reservation. Can I ignore this notice or must I clarify the situation manually? Thanks.

I hope somebody can help here.My family and I are traveling from Barcelona to Madrid and back again in April. I have made seat reservations using the eurail site and have received allocated seats on the train.The seats are not together however and have been randomly assigned in the coach. I have tried to update these using the app but been told that this is not possible. I have contacted Eurail customer support and they have also said that this is not possible.I spoke with Renfe who told me that there are lots of available seats on both of the trains we have reservations on, however they are not able to change the reservations made through the Eurail site. The customer support agent from Renfe actually made reservations with seats together for me and gave me a reservation number and said if I can update the reservations in Eurail using that number then there is a table seat for the 4 of us available on the train we are due to take. This is not possible as far as I can work out using th

I already book my Greek ferry tickets in the Blue Star Ferries site. I received the confirmation e-mail, but I don’t have a specific seat number, is that normal? The other question is how to add this greek ferry journey in the interrail app? Thanks!

So, I basically use google calendar to organize and plan my whole life, including interrailing trips and itineraries (which took quite a lot of manual labor….): I create calendars, export them to friends and family, and I also subscribe to calendars created by other people and import specific calendar events to my existing calendars (e.g. like specific trains trips which I buy from the Swedish train company SJ). I then gather and colorize all these different calendars in my phone (or on the web using a PC) using the google calendar app, so that everything ahead of me is accessible in a systematic, accessible and pedagogical way.I am therefore quite surprised that it doesn’t seem to be possible to subscribe to an existing interrail trip (where I have planned all the upcoming train schedules and trips) as an address in the iCal format or as a single calendar event which you can import to an existing calendar.Does anybody know any “workaround” to achieve this for an existing trip? And do

Good day,today I tried to make seat reservations for 21 april.But it seems as if I cannot get any reservations. Is there a place that can help me with that?I tried via Eurail,  and via nscf-connect, but no seats! (From Brussels to Lyon).Just nothing seems available. Is it possible that the seats are all gone? 2 months before dod??

Bonjour, J'ai un pass global Interrail. J'ai réservé un train de nuit en couchette sur le site d'OBB pour aller de Bâle à Berlin le 02/03/2025. Je ne retrouve pas ce trajet sur l'application Interrail pour valider une journée de voyage, est-ce que mon ticket de réservation reçu par mail ainsi que mon pass suffisent ? Si non, comment dois-je m'y prendre ?

Hi there, my partner and I are going to buy a Eurail pass. We are entertaining the idea of a first class global pass, but if we do second class, can we purchase first class seat reservations? Let me know if my question doesn’t make sense.

I have 4 days of interrail global pass. I want to go to Rome from Leipzig. It is like 18 hours long. If I start my travel at 1pm and get into my last train at 8pm, do i need to activate my second day for the trip at 12 am again? or is it completed with just 1 day?

Does Global pass include interrail pass automatically? If I want to catch local train going from Airport to local train station OR from local train station to Central station of any city in Germany. Can I use Global pass? 

Hello,I’m from Poland. In my journey plans don’t have standard start and return journey. I want to return for 1 day to Poland (but not to my city) and next, to continue journey with flexi pass. Is it possible to do ‘return journey’ in the middle of all journey?

Hello,I want to buy paper ticket - this is very nice souvenir. Is it possible to book place reservation on IC / ICE trains via internet / InterRail account, when I have paper ticket?

HiSome of you may have seen a post ref from me - unable to book night train. This has now been resolved thanks to response from this community.BrendanDB - gave a very good insight in terms of day and night journey. Which has now got me thinking , in terms of if I should do this during day or night now.As it stands our plan and thought process is as per :Night train - 8th May - Oslo to Bergen stay 1 night in Bergen Return leg - Bergen to Mydral - During DAY time ) Mydral to Flam - day time Depending on how train times works out . Either stay for 1 night in Flam or catch a return train from Flam to Mydral and from there back to Oslo ( ideally during day time)Just wish to ask the community your thoughts on  this ?Our thoughts - Night journey  1 way and do day journey on the return legAre the view any different/better from Bergen to Oslo, as oppose from Oslo to Bergen

I HAVE A PAPER PASS NOT A MOBILE PASS.  HOW AM I GUARANTEED A SEAT ON A TRAIN IF THE JOURNEY DOES NOT REQUIRE A RESERVATION?  I AM TRAVELING IN FRANCE 

Using the ferry to go to Evian or Vevey / Chillon, is it possible to get a discount with IR passes? And if so, is this only at the ticket office on the day and do the ferries ever fill up? We only have 4 hours in Lausanne and so have few departure options. many thanks if you can help!

I read a post of two years ago. I want to confirm if this is still the same.My mobile pass and my friends pass are on my phone. Can we also add them to her phone for backup? E.g. when phone battery dies, phone breaks or is lost?

Hello everyoneI purchased several seat reservations for Spanish AVE and Alvia trains via the Interrail reservation service and happyrail.com. By accident, I put the Interrail mobile pass number instead of my personal ID number in the field while booking through happyrail.Would that be a problem while boarding the train? Or is there a possibility to change this wrong information?I also need to do some reservations for regional trains (Santiago - Vigo, Vigo - Porto, Badajoz - Merida, Merida - Sevilla), which aren’t possible to book online. Has anyone already tried to buy a regular ticket for these trains and change it later to a seat reservation only at the ticket office in Spain?

Hello,I’m trying to book the sleeper from Hamburg to Stockholm on 1st August. It says there is track work and it can’t be booked yet. Trains are bookable for the 5th August though.Does anyone have any idea what track works there are and when the timetable might be published?Also it seems I can no longer do a test run to find out Interrail prices (I haven’t bought the pass yet) because it needs a valid pass number (I tried an old one and tried creating a pass cover number which didn’t work).Thank you.

HI I intend to travel from Norwich to London to catch the Eurostar. This involves activating the pass and using one of my days. What I am unsure about is if there are any peak time restrictions on using the interrail pass, for example boarding a train which arrives in London before 10am. ( Greater Anglia’s definition of Peak time train) 

So I am able to go from Stazione Termini Roma to the Francfort sur le Main to Gare de l'Est? we are not very familiar with high speed train stations so I just want to make sure we go to the correct train station. and do we need reservations for these train specifically

Hi,our planned schedule is the above 4 cities. Any advice/suggestions/ideas more than welcome.thanks in advance,Ashley

Do I need a seat reservation for that journey? in OBB there are no seats or reservation is not necessary? In a eurail it does not say anything about whether this route needs a seat reservation. On trains in Austria they always ask me to reserve a seat, I have Eurail first class, only for my first class do I need a reservation?

Family of 4 traveling to UK and Paris. I believe I have read enough articles to post my question. It appears that I will need to book 4 Eurail Global passes since we are traveling to multiple countries. Arrive in London on 4/10 and will take the 10:00 train to Paris. That train requires an additional pass. We would need a 2 day pass to have a return from Paris to London on 4/13. We would then make seat reservations on 4/14 from London to Edinburgh (no additional passes purchased) and then seat reservations for the Edinburgh to London return 4/20 (no additional passes purchased).  Is there any reason to purchase a 5-day versus 4-day global pass? Does the above itinerary work or make sense?Appreciate any help you all can provide. Thanks!
