Get ready to travel

For the trains that don't require seat reservation it is enough to show the QR code from the Discover EU App, or it is necessary something else, too?

How do I book for the Bernina Express?Do I search Bernina Express or Milan to Zurich?How do I know it's rhe scenic route?Apologies for the stupid question,  very newto me😉

Hello,my husband will be traveling to Italy this April. I am looking into a pass. I was wondering if a rail pass is the way to go or if I should just book individual trips via trenitalia?  Milan to Venice Venice to Florence florence to Naples/potisanonaples to Rome. flying out of Rome.  all tips are appreciated. 

I nearly got caught out on this one, remember i havnt been on a train about 30 years never mind travelling to switzerland from ireland and travelling around on trains, there was a transfer that stated short transfer,11.55 pm - 03.55am, ( could be differnt time within minutes), it stated 47 hours or such so i thought it was a bug, what i didnt know is trains stop at around 12 at night and resume at around 4 next morning, only i noticed i wouldve been stuck at a train station 4 hours or looking at hotel, another thing the airport closes also 4 hours

Hope someone can help me please. I have a 7 days EURail pass and I am going to these countriesLondon to Praque . FlyPraque to Vienna 4 hrs train. Buy ticket approx. Euro 20Vienna to Budapest 2.5 hrs train Buy ticket approx Euro 20 to 30Budapest to Zurich will take overnight train using EURail pass Day1 Zurich to Lucerne 1 hr train . Using EURail Pass Day 2Lucerne to Interlaken area for using EURail Day Pass 3 to 7 My question is whether it is a waste to use Day 2 Pass to Day 7 Pass in Switzerland or should I use  it to travel from London to Praque or Zurich back to London instead of flying. Night train would be good but I cant find any such night train except from Budapest to Zurich. Will my EURail pass be well utilized in Switzerland in terms of savings?-

Hi there,I’m trying to book a train from Paris to Amsterdam on Sunday, April 13th. Weirdly, Eurostar doesn’t have any bookings possible on their website for that day (greyed out that weekend as well as Fri-Sun the weekend after, Easter weekend) and other 3rd-party sites (raileurope.com, omio) do have train options with Eurostar but require two transfers… Maybe there’s no service for the holidays? Not sure...So now I’m looking at Monday, April 14th since those have direct trains but I’m not sure how I can book one ticket with an Interrail pass and three tickets without an Interail pass for my sister and her two kids. I live in Berlin so it’s not possible for us to get to a Eurostar terminal to book the tickets. I could try asking a friend but was hoping there might be another solution? Any help would be much appreciated!Thank you!

I am traveling with my daughter (3yo). She does not hold an eurail pass, since you can’t purchase one for minors under 4. I will be taking trains leaving and returning the European Union (going to and back from London) but I don’t know if she needs to have a booked seat for those trains. 

I wanted to ask questions on how seat availability is on trains which state “This is a popular train. Seat reservations are recommended but not required.”. For example theres a train from budapest to Prague but it says seats are recommended. Obviously if its possible to save money I would want to not pay unnecessarily for seats that are available without booking. For context we are group of 4 people and was wondering if all 4 would be enough for these kinds of trains. Would highly appreciate someone who has done this trip before and has experience to give advice on the subject

Hello. After buy my Eurail Global Pass I need to have a book for each train of my pass? I need to make reservation for each train? (I mean reservation ticket, not seats reservations) or only I need to go directly to platform on each station?Thanks.

Looking forward to my first Eurail trip in April/May.I am still confused about what I do if I want to travel on a service that is not currently listed in the train planner app?I am told that this can be done ‘manually’, but the ‘official’ services listed have a particular format and set of conventions that I might find difficult to manually replicate. Is it actually easy to ‘manually’ add a train journey that is not found in the mobile rail planner? kind regards

This will be my fourth time using a global interrail pass and thought I’d learnt all the lessons but I’m stressing out about an upcoming trip to Switzerland and hoping someone can help me out.I used the b-Europe website to reserve seats on the Eurostar from London to Paris return. The trip is at the end of May so sorting the Eurostar seats was the priority. We need to be in Paris for lunchtime on Sat 31 May to catch our Eurostar. But now I’m struggling to book the 09:34 TGV service from Basel to Paris on 31 May. There doesn’t seem to be any option for Interrail pass holders to reserve seats and I don’t know whether it’s because they’ve sold out or have just not been released. I’ve looked on various sites, including the TGV Lyria website - I couldn’t find anything conclusive as to when the tickets will be released. I’m looking at alternative routes, but also struggling to find anything for Sat 31 May to get us back to Paris from Switzerland.Appreciate any advice, or info on whether the

How fast do they send out a paper ticket?  Would be for Vienna-Prague, and we live in US.  Thanks

i’d booked the class 1 seat before the trip on the schedule to take the euro star train from rotterdam to brussels, unluckily the train was cancelled! how can i continue my trip through the train cancelled issue?

I’m just checking I understand this right before I book, buts basically with a global pass you can use the Eurostar, but pay a fixed price do the seat reservation depending on your destination. Only checking as this sounds ridiculously cheap compared to how much the Eurostar costs usually ??but if that is the case then that’s amazing 

Hello! I am trying to book a journey from belfastgrand central to Dublin Connolly.The Eurail app says that this journey is “unavailable for second class pass”, However when I check the Translink (Northern Ireland. transport) Website there seems to be plenty of second class seats available… So I can't understand why I can't add this journey? The trip I need to book is on 3/12/24 departing Belfast grand central at 2pm  Any help would be appreciated!!! I don't want to have to wait for the train that leaves at 6pm… which seems to be the only one available with a second class pass. Help!!! 

Hello Everyone, I’ll be travelling to Europe during April this year and was thinking to buy the Eurail Pass for my travel from one city to another. My passport is having just the Given Name(First Name) as two words “ABC XYZ” while my Surname(Last Name) is Empty so how should I be entering my name while buying the pass so I do not face any issues during my travel. Let me know if someone have had the same issue and how you addressed it. Thank You in Advance :)

Where do I enter my Global Pass number when booking the Prestige Goldenpass Express so I am only charged for the seat and not the actual travel? I can not find the correct place for the life of me. Please assist. Thanks SO much!!!

Hi, im trying to book seat reservations to travel from Narvik to Stockholm in March but when i enter my Pass Cover Number it tells me this:The card number isn't valid for booking journeys in SJ's digital sales channels. Please contact the retailer you purchased the card from to book a journey.I’m not sure what do now and the tickets are quite expensive and i would need the discount from my interrail pass. Would be very glad for any help, thank you :)

I am travelling in mid May.  As it in January , some of the reservations in Europe aren't yet available - In order to get a Eurostar reservation, is it better to book now as everything I have read say they sell fast?- If my plans change, how easy/costly is it yo change the reservation? About reservations in France and Italy - how soon are they generally possible to book?- if i miss a connection due to delay of a previous train, do I contact interrail or someone else?- if it is a train with no reservations, i assume I just turn up and get on?- are the times on the rail europe website accurate, or is it necessary to double check the train operator website?If i book with Rail Europe for the , eg, 1000 train, but the train operator timetable states it is actually 1115, which train have i actually reserved, and is it a problem?Thank you for your patience
