Get ready to travel

Hello everyone,At first thank you for your help.I am a Belgian student I would like visit a close friend some weekends but she lives in the south France near Aix en Provence. Normal tickets can become very expensive and I would go there only for short periods because of work during the week. I wanted to know if there exists an abonnement to travel in Belgium to Belgium (from my city to the capital) then from Belgium to Aix en Provence (from Brussels capital) ?I am looking also at flexybus but travels are sometimes too long.Thank you for your advices in advance,Best,

Hi ! I’m new here, and I’m planning to travel to Scotland from France. I just had a few questions about the pass.  1-When booking my seat is optional, do you advise me to book it anyway (it adds extra fees to the travel) or is it usually easy to just hop on the train without booking ? I mean do I need to secure my ride because it’s often crowded ?  2- I’m travelling from France, which is my home country, do I have a time limit to reach England ? Can I book separate trains on different websites in order to reach England ? Or am I forced to book the itinerary suggested on inter rail website ? Do I need to “declare” this first journey to get out of my home country somehow ? Does it count in the 15 days of the pass ?  thanks in advance to the kind people who’ll take the time to answer me !  Jeanne 

Bought the euro rail global pass 10 days within two months. Not sure about activation. I have read and researched so much I think I’ve completely confused myself. Flying into Germany and taking a train to Amsterdam so  that is when I will activate my pass. Will I need to do anything else? Since it is not a continuous pass, will I have to activate it every day I plan to use it? when I bought it. My trip was only 12 days but now I’ve changed my mind and I’m staying 25 days. now I’m thinking I am going to run out of days. The countries I’m visiting, Germany, Netherlands, France, Austria, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Switzerland. I figure Switzerland is the most expensive country I’ll be visiting.  I know the euro pass gives me discounts on the ferries, cogwheel trains, aerial gondolas, etc. but  if I don’t use any days in Switzerland, will I still be able to use the Euro pass benefits for these things. I will be staying in the Lucerne area last 3 nights (flying home from Zürich) would I b

I am leaving today and cannot activate muly travel day. No errors are displayed and Discover support only works on weekdays. Need urgent help. It says I have not been online in 24hrs (I have of course) Thanks.  

I assume this is not a problem as I have purchased my seat reservations for our Eurostar journeys between London to Paris.  However there appears to be a mismatch between the times shown both for departure and arrivals between the planner and the official Eurostar schedules.    As far as I can see the mismatch is for all trains available for booking this year.  

So I got a pass, added all my trips and activated it but when I wanted to reserve seats the application told me to add a traveller I tried to login using my pass number and last name but it gave an error details don't match 

Hi there, I didn’t really find information for Interrail online, maybe not to many people travel in Poland…I want to take some IC trains to smaller places around Warszawa for example Lublin, Bydgoszcz  or Łódź. The rail planner app says I don’t need a reservation, but via Google AI I found out that there is an exception for Pesa Dart EMUs. I looked in the PKP App and found the symbol for reservations on some of these trains. Not my question: Is there an exception for people with interrail or is the Rail planner App wrong? The reservation is super cheap, but it is annoying to make reservations for interrail in the PKP App, because when you travel in a group you can’t make interrail reservations for several people at once. Is there a smart solution?Thank you so much!

Hi,I've been trying for two days to reserve seats on Iryo trains from Barcelona to Madrid and Madrid to Seville using the Interrail reservation tool. However, the tool only displays the following error message: Is this a known, possibly temporary problem, or is booking simply not possible?GreetingsVolker

Having seen how difficult it is to get to Lisbon from Madrid has anybody tried Madrid  to Seville then 3 hrs bus ride to Faro?Regular trains then to Lisbon take about 3hrs.

How do we activate a travelday, without a planned journey for the day. We just want to hop on and off and see what the day brings. Whithout restricting to a certain plan.

Hello, me and my friend are going on interrail in about a week!We kind of „overslept“ booking our seat reservations and just started to book them today.Unfortunately we now have a problem, because the seats of every train going from london to paris on the 14th August are reserved. We then tried to book them over the eurostars website, but the Website does not find any train going from london to paris. Online you can see that the website eurostars is for trains inbetween the United Kingdom, Belgium, France,…we also tried booking from an extern website, but there you can only buy tickets to get seat reservations and those are very expensive. we are now desperate and unsure what to do.please help us, thank you in advance!antonia & anna

Hello. Has anyone in this community successfully applied for a free carer’s pass? I am planning to travel with my niece later this year. My niece is registered disabled and we have submitted the form to apply for a carer’s pass twice and receive no reply. What I’m trying to find out (very simply) is whether my niece has to purchase her pass before she can apply for the carer’s pass for me? Can anyone help with this? It would be great to hear from anyone who has successfully applied for a carer’s pass - what was the process and how easy was this?

Hello everyone.I need some help. I'm having a problem with an Interrail route: the founder of the group can see it and added it without problems, while to me that same route doesn't appear when I try to add it. Also, even trying to import it through the link he sent me, I can't. We tried to figure out how to solve it, but we can't figure it out. Has it already happened to anyone? Do you know how it can be done?

I am a Japanese citizen living in Japan. I am planning a 4-month trip around Europe.I plan to travel by using a Visitor VLS-TS pass(visa) for France about the France's part(about 25days) of the long trip because of Schengen Agreement's 90-day rule. Since the trip within the Schengen Area will last about four months, it will exceed 90days.But in this case, can I use Eurail or Interrail pass in France only?

Hi My friend and I would like to book the train 16 August with my interrail pass, but I can’t, are their any other options available or can you book it for us?  It’s the train from 14:00 Lyon Part Dieu to Breda arrived at 20:19. 

Dear community, I’m looking for a reservation for the train IC 416 or EN 40416, in particular the first, from Wien to Krakow on September 7th. I looked on the OBB website and others, but is not possible to book it. On OBB I read the message “Currently not reservable”. Do you think this is a temporary situation or all the seats are booked? I’m worried since I have less than 2 months left. Thank you for any clearifications!Best Pierluigi Pellegrino

Hi, I am travelling this week on a Global Pass. I have already activated the pass and all travel days. Re the travel days, should I not have activated those yet? Can I do that day by day during my trip? I thought I had to activate in order to secure a ticket on the train. Many thanks all.  Super excited by the way!!! 

How many days of my pass is used by making my outbound journey in UK:  Drem to Edinburghovernight Edinburgh to London(Next day) Eurostar London to Paris?

You can now book pass reservations on www.raileurope.com. You have to add a rail pass, which will then be applied to all passengers in the group, and at check-out, you need to supply a pass number.I did a test for Italy (Frecciarossa Milan-Rome) and there don't seem to be any extra booking fees. And you can select a seat for €2 extra, like on the Trenitalia website.No luck for Spain yet. It will be interesting to see if it can book anything that can't be booked online elsewhere.

Hello all,I would like to travel from Rome to Istanbul, in 1 month.Which road do you suggest ?I was thinking going through Adriatic Sea, Montenegro or Albania, then Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, but it seems quite complicated, to cross the sea and easier to do all around by train.Anyone can share feedbacks ?If crossing by ferry, which city should I aim for (Bari..?) and which company ?I am leaving Rome next monday, 28 JulyMany thanks by advance !

Hello there,I have planned to be in Istanbul around 17/22 august and I have my pass ending the 24th at midnight.I would like to go back from Istanbul to Lyon in the easiest and fastest way, but it seems interrail app can’t help me on such a trip in one-time request.Do you have any advices suggestions ideas on how can I plan that trip back home, and how long should i expect to do ?

I have made seat reservations for me and my partner in my own account. These reservations are visible in the app on my phone. Is it possible to make the reservations that are on my partner's name visible in his own app?

Hi, I am trying to book a reservation. It is 2 ICE and a Nightjet. I can't seem to find how to reservate it. It gives warnings. '’One or more Passes cannot be used for this journey. Please select the travellers with valid Passes for this journey in order to book seats.'’ How can I reservate? Also if I go to the Nightjet website directly it also says it is not possible to book the journey but no information about if it is fully booked or anything. Has anyone als had this before? It is my first time interrail and it feels like a maze.You would think that the 28th is a bit afther the holidays for everyone so should be fine.. I don't know what to do.
