Get ready to travel

Had to come back early to UK so used up my outbound/inbound days. Still have 5 travel days remaining before end of July and wondered whether the UK/France border begins at London St Pancras International when you pass through French passport control there. If so, can you travel using a normal travel day even though technically you are still in the UK until the tunnel & not require an outbound day?

Hi All,Please help me, its very urgent.I am a citizen of India(Indian Passport) and currently working in Germany for a German Company.Yesterday I booked a Eurail Global Pass “10 days within 2 months”.Is Eurail Global Pass valid for me, can I travel with this pass?Or have I made a mistake, is the Interrail Global Pass valid for me?I am confused , please help me.If I have made a mistake then can Eurail Global Pass be converted to Interrail Global Pass?Please reply. 

Got charged €50 for a late activation when I had everything including reservation with me. I want to know if there is a policy like this. And if anyone could send the pdf that mentions so. Would be grateful! 

hi ,Can I travel on German buses with a global pass? I'm having a hard time getting an answer, I've read all sorts of things online and in groups. I need to go from Lindau to a small German town on bus 21 and if I get on it I can show the global pass ticket is it good? or if not can I buy a monthly bus pass which is good for all German buses ( long distance bus )best regrads,Christine🎱

Hello all ;)I imagine this is possible on German (DB) and Austrian (OBB) trains?Why do you ask?  I've noticed that on some lines the 1st class is often fully booked, whereas reservations in the 2nd class are "for sale".Or do people travelling in 1st book more often than those in 2nd?In a nutshell. Thanks for your insights J.-François ;)Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

I have a seat reservation for Zurich HB to Munich HBF on the 25th of June from 11:33 to 15:04. There’s been a change/cancellations of some segments due to the storm damages. Part of my train is still covered but it’s where I get up to the part they had to cancel that I have concerns/questions. Are seat reservations required once I’m in Germany? I’m trying to determine if I’m okay or if I need to cancel the reservation I have now and rebook it. The only problem is Eurail hasn’t updated their trains so I don’t know which ones will actually be covered under the pass. 

Hy everyone, i’m planning to travel from Padova to Bratislava on 2nd August. I’m going crazy trying to understand if the NJ235 from Padova to Wien is available, from different sites i sees different infromations:interrail.eu → from this site i have to change train in TARVISIO BOSCOVERDE, then it is direct to WIEN HBF shop.oebbtickets.at → i have to change train in Wr.Neustadt Hbf, but tickets are not available (WHY??) thetrainline.com → 3 different option, the last one is direct instead the other two have a change at Wiener Neustadt Hbf. On the right the translation is equal “timetable subject to change” the train is in less than 2 months, i don’t know how to dothank you very much

Two Seniors looking to book 7/30 passes, but will be travelling with our grand child on some days. According to website, child under 11 should be free, but can’t add to purchase. Can we get help figuring this out?

Hello, I am currently Interrailing and my 3 month global pass just disappeared from the app. When I try to add it again, I get an error message saying that the pass is already on my device. Maybe it is, but neither can I see my pass nor my trip.I have already submitted a zendesk support request this morning, but I got an automated email reply that the pass number in the support request was invalid. I then responded to this email with my correct pass number and since then I haven’t heard anything from the interrail support.Are there any other ways of getting support for this issue? I have not reinstalled the app yet as I don’t know if it is safe to do so while my pass is active. Regards, Marc

Hello community,I am travelling with my family (wife and two kids aged 11 and 8) to London in September. We are also planning a trip to Paris and Interlaken (Switzerland). The likely itinerary will be:Day 1: Leave from London to Paris; Spend the day/night in ParisDay 2: Spend the day in Paris and in late night leave for InterlakenDay 3: Arrive in Lausanne or Interlaken;Day 3-5: Go around places like Lausanne, Interlaken, Montreux, Zweisimmen, JungfrauDay 6: Leave from Switzerland to London. Can you please help with figuring out whether it will be better (and cheaper) for us to hire a car or take trains?Which train was would be ideal for this journey (including Eurostar from london)? A 4 or 7 day Eurail or a combination of 4 days Eurail Global pass and a swiss travel pass? And what should be the ideal combination?

Hi !We are a group och 6 persons with valid 4days Greek Island Pass and we have online booked a Blue Star ferry this saturday 15 june from Pireus to Santorin. When i booked online i made a misstake and choose 6-day pass for one of us in the group, tried to call Blue Star service but they said they cant help us on the phone with this we have to email helpdesk@attica-group.com but they only answer that they dont understand the problem. As a result we cant plan the next leg in a journey as ther booking system says it a wrong number of days for one of the island pass, we trying with 4day pass for all in the group on the next ferry.  Do you have any suggestions how we can get the booking at Blue Star to help us change the fault i made?  Best regards from Sweden, Tobias 

My Interrail App crashed on my phone. When I got it to run again it didn't display either my Pass or my trip. When I attempted to add my pass again it says that it already exists on my device and that I should be able to select it but it is not showing. Please advise what I should do as soon as possible. I am travelling tomorrow early morning so need to sort it out very quickly. Thanks for your help

Hello to all, I am new to this site. I will be in Europe for the 1st time 06/30 to 07/20. I will be traveling from Amsterdam to Rome and want to plan a route with my 7 day Euro Rail Pass. I want to stop at different places during my trip but one of those stops needs to be in Paris from 07/09 to 07/11. I would like to get some suggestions from those experienced travelers to plan my route. I would like to plan a 7 day route where I will NOT be transferring trains from one point to the other. I have never been to Europe therefore everything I see will be new to me therefore am not hard set on seeing anything specific other than being in Paris on the previously mention days. I do want to see the best places in Europe though during my 3 week travel. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.  PS: I am also looking forward to making allot of new friends. LMorin

Hi, I’m completely new to travelling via rail in Europe and have a query that I am hoping somebody might be able to answer.  I am still trying to get my head around how the rail service in Germany fits together.I know there has been severe flooding in Bavaria and many services are affected. Munich - Nuremberg - Erfurt - BerlinKarlsruhe - Stuttgart - Ulm - Augsburg - MunichStuttgart - Mannheim - Frankfurt(M)Munich - Lindau - Bregenz - ZurichKarlsruhe - Stuttgart - Crailsheim - NurembergAugsburg - Kempten(Allgäu) - OberstdorfI’m struggling to figure out if a couple of trips I have booked will be affected by this though.e.g. I am travelling from Cologne to Munich on 16th June, then Munich to Paris on 19th June; if I search for a trains on either of these journeys on those dates, they are all there, you can still book seats - seems to be no mention of any being cancelled or changes made to them.   I am reading that correctly?

Hi all! When I’m trying to reserve a seat for a nighttrain between Cluj Napoca to Budapest, I’ll go to the checkout and see I’ll have to pay an additional 9 euros for shipping the ticket to my home adress on top of the original price. Does someone know if I can switch this paper reservation to simply being send with email, or maybe an online reservation? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I’m moving from Costa Rica to Europe, and I will arrive at Barajas Airport in Madrid. My question is, with the global pass, do I have any form of transportation to get to the center of Madrid, or do I need to buy some other train pass?

Does the Bernina Express stop in St. Moritz?  Looks like it doesn’t, though I can choose St. Moritz as a destination point on the Bernina Express website.  Are those non-Bernina regional trains?  Will the journey (views) be the same as the Bernina Express (other than the jog over to St. Moritz instead of Pontresina?

Hi everyone,I haven't found the answer to my problem in the community yet.I will be traveling in August for my first Interrail trip with a 5-day Global Pass. I plan to depart from Rome (Italy is my home country) on an Intercity Train to Trieste, and then take a bus to Croatia. This way, I would use one day (out of the 5) of my pass.My question is: am I obligated to use the inbound journey as well? Or can I use the outbound journey without using the inbound one, and consequently return to my country by plane?
