Get ready to travel

I am trying to see if I can reserve a Eurostar seat for use with an Interrail card (which I haven’t bought yet). On the drop-down menu, the Interrail option is surrounded by a red outline when I select it. If I select the Eurail one it lets me proceed. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

OK, so next issue I see travelling from Tirano to Milan weekend of 19/07/2024 - I go to book Trenord for train from Tirano to Milan morning of the 20th July - cannot see any train schedule. Train schedule stops 08/07/2024.I check https://valtellinamobile.it/lavori-ferrovia-milano-tirano/ for disruptions etc and it translates to the below:The dates of the train block in 2024 and 2025 on the Lecco – Tirano lineLECCO – TIRANO and COLICO – SONDRIO – TIRANOPreparatory works for the 2026 Olympics 9 June 2024 – 8 September 2024 (90 day line interruption.LECCO – TIRANO and LECCO – COLICOPreparatory works for the 2026 Olympics June 2025 – September 2025 (90 day line interruption).Does this mean that line from Tirano to Milan on Trenord will not be running?Will it be diverted to a different route?Help appreciated - did not expect to strike issues in Switzerland over this time but I guess everything is geared for winter season perhaps? (hence Olympics?)

I’m trying to book a train from Berlin to Gdynia (a journey with RE1 then EC59 connection) on the DB website. In the journey details, it says that the EC59 requires compulsory reservation. However, when I’m trying to continue with the booking, this error message popped up: “Reservation cannot be madeUnfortunately, a reservation is not possible for this connection. Due to compulsory reservation, a booking is therefore not possible. Please choose another connection.”so I cannot do the booking. Can someone help me on how to book tickets for this journey online? It’s stressing me out haha. 

I'm planning a train trip England to France using Interrail, in about in a months time. I've made all the seat reservations and paid the supplements, but I cannot see the tickets or where to find them and they have not been emailed to me. I've downloaded the payment confirmation. However I have received the tickets for Eurostar and successfully printed them and downloaded them. But where are the other tickets?

Hello,je voudrais savoir si vous avez l’expérience en voyage familial avec ce pass.Je souhaiterais partir mi-décembre avec mes deux enfants bas âge (5-7) de France, région La Rochelle à Budapest Hongrie et je ne comprends pas trop ce pass: si je l’achète pour une durée de 4 jours / mois (dans ce cas, c’est de 250€) je peux faire les trajets ce que je veux pendant ces 4 jours ? Ils ont noté qqpart que j’aurais même pas besoin d’acheter les billets, mais quand-même la réservation doit être faite sur un site internet, non? Comment ça se passe, cette réservation? Il faut tout faire sur le site d’Interrail? Dans mon cas, notre voyage se fait avec qq escales; La Rochelle - Paris - Augsburg (ou Vienne) - Budapest. Je peux utiliser ce pass en France pour un trajet qui ne quitte pas directement le pays?Merci d’avance pour les réponses!Zoltan.

Hi,I’ve been trying to reserve seats for my wife and I on EN 40476 from Budapest to Berlin in late July and haven’t had much luck.I first saw a recommendation to book this via oebb.at. I can book a combined ticket/reservation through that website, but if I search for reservations only, the website indicates “Ticket not available”. It’s a similar story with cd.cz and MAV -- it looks like they’ll happily sell me a pair of tickets but separate reservations aren’t available. Things get even weirder if I try to book it through the Eurail website directly. If I search for tickets for the two of us, I only see two options -- the seating compartment (ouch) and 2x single sleeper cabins ($$$).  However, if I search for a ticket for one of us, I see all of the expected seat types.These prices seem pretty high, but they are quite a bit less than the full ticket prices via oebb / MAV, so I guess this is just what a reservation costs? But regardless, I have no idea why I wouldn’t be able to choose a

Hello! First time user of this great website.  I live in the USA and will be visiting Switzerland and Germany next month (June) for the first time.  I am also going to ride trains from city to city in Europe for the first time and hope to get some good advice on whether I should buy individual tickets (in advance) or a Eurail flexi pass.After my group tour ends in Bern, Switzerland, my friend and I will need to take trains as follows.  I have included what I think is the price for each ticket based on my online research today:6/20: Bern to Zurich, spend a couple of hours in Zurich  €26.506/20: Zurich to Munich  €57.906/22: Munich to Strasbourg, France  €57.806/24: Strasbourg to Baden-Baden, stop for lunch, then Baden-Baden to Heidelberg  ~ €446/26: Heidelberg to Frankfurt  ~ €22 We will be on trains on four different days, so a four-day Eurail flexi pass would be the choice if we buy passes.  We’re over age 60, so with the senior discount, the four-day pass is €255.And based on the pri

We have Global Passes for travel in Germany and Switzerland later this summer. When I try to buy seat reservations for the Chur to Zermatt segment of our trip, the online system keeps trying to make me buy new tickets rather than just paying for seat reservations. What am I doing wrong?

Hello, We want to take Bosphorus Express (Bucuresti —> Istanbul) just after the night train from Budapest to Bucuresti but, if someone already did that, we have some questions : We have 3hours for the connexion, do you think this is possible ? (Or does the train from Budapest to Bucuresti is often delayed?)  Do you think we can book our tickets the day for the day for the Bosphorus express? (We are in the middle of august we are afraid it will be full). We ask the company CFR and it is not possible to book it online or by phone/email with interrail passes. Thank you for your help !! :) Mélanie 

HelloI would like to book two journeys with two global interrail passes from Bologna Centrale to Paris on August 30, 2024. Here are the details departure bologna centrale 9.36 amarrival paris gare de lyon 7.38 pm The route is already displayed on the rail planner application. However, I don't know where to make my reservation. Do I have to take each trip separately (there are two connections in Milan and Zurich) and if so, on which websites should I book? Thanks in advance.

Hey, i was trying to get a night train from Prague to Budapest, specially the Euronight 477/ Intercity 577 Metropol, but it doesn’t appear in the rail planner app, however, i can find it con de oficial cd page. I do not understand why it happens. Should I add manually the trip on the rain planner app, and get the seat reservation in the cd website? (i copied an older thread, since the solution there didnt work for me)I want to get the train from 18th of july at 22.03 leaving from Prague. However, i dont see it in the railplanner app. Whatever filters i use, it doesnt work :/. i can buy the reservation just fine on the CD site.

I’ve got a Eurrail pass and I’ll be heading south from Lithuania and I’m not entirely clear how close I can get to it.

We are two seniors and are flying from Malaga to Barcelona to begin our train travel to Narbonne, France, Toulouse, Donostia San Sebastian, Spain, Bilbao, Gijon, and ending in Porto, Portugal.Does it make sense to purchase a Global Pass vs separate bookings? Do I also need to make reservations for all of these?

Hi,I’m booking a trip to Cinque Terre for the 18th of June, and i know there are some nightjet connections from Germany to Italy are under construction from June until september, but when looking at nightjet tickets for NJ 40295 Munchen to La Spezia it says i can book it but the website also says “please note that travel times can still change”.Does anyone have an accurate source as to wether or not that specific line is also closed for the summer? Or what would happen if i book and it turns out that it won’t be going, will I be eligible for a refund?Thanks in advance! 

Bonjour, je souhaitais savoir s’il était possible d’acheter un pass directement au guichet de sa gare, pour éviter l’attente de délai de livraison. Sinon, quelles sont les délais de livraison d’un pass? Hello, I wanted to know if it was possible to buy a pass directly at the ticket office of your station, to avoid waiting for delivery times.  If not, what are the delivery times for a pass?

I am from India and new to Global pass for Europe. Global pass should be valid for internal travel as well. Most of the travel in Italy does not shows valid for global pass. Does this means Global pass is only for internal to Europe and for metropolitan station travel only

Hi, help requested!I am fairly new to Interrail. Our first journey is from Santander (coming in on ferry from Plymouth UK)  to Bilbao .. but when I enter this journey on Eurail it comes up with ridiculously long journeys of 11 or 23 hours. Anyone know what’s going on? It’s only 46 miles! Hmm? Advice about making reservations in Spain gratefully received. Many thanks :) 

Hello,I'm contacting you because I'd like to book two journeys from Bologna Centrale to Paris, with two global interrail passes. On the Bahn website (https://int.bahn.de/fr) I can't select the interrail passes from the discounts on offer. Can you tell me on which site I can make my reservations?Thanks in advance.

Hello,I would like to book a journey from Bari to Bologna using the Interrail Global pass on the OBB website (https://shop.oebbtickets.at/en/ticket).

BonjourNe souhaitant plus prendre l’avion, je fais le trajet Tarbes-Rome le 9 Juin, retour le 15 en train. Interrail me parait être une bonne option, mais je fais face à des questions d’optimisation, et de manque d’expérience aussi.J’ai pris par précaution un pass 4 jours, car je m’aperçois qu’en filtrant avec des temps de correspondance prudents (Filtre 10 ou 15min), j’aboutis à des temps de connexion, où je fais fatalement un overnight sans toucher un train de nuit. Donc je prends mon temps, 2 jours de pass pour l’aller et 2 jours de pass pour le retour.Il me faut faire une escale soit à Nice, soit à Marseille, ou encore Vintimille et passer une nuit quelque part ce qui n’est en soit pas un problème. Mais j’aimerais savoir selon les expérimentés de la communauté quel est le meilleur stop à faire, et si mon trajet peut-être optimisé.Voici par exemple deux propositions que j’ai:9/06 9:42 Tarbes->Toulouse->Marseille->Nice [STOP NUIT]->Vintimille->Milan->Rome 10/06 16:4

Hello there, Me and my friend are planning to visit france, we bought the interrail pass and booked our seats, how ever we got completely different seats for parts of the journey in the TGV, is there anything we can do about that?Looking forward to a response :)Matthias

We are not able to make a reservation from Bratislava to Krakow.. We already have an hotel in Krakow at the start of our trip in Poland… But we hear that we have to wait for reservations 60 days before departure  - and they also said that the trains are always full…Can you help us for our trip starting 9 September from Vienna.. 

Hello, I hope this is not to silly of a question but I am really anxious about booking as I do not trust I am looking at the right things.I can see and know about certain booking reservations (which some are mandatory like the Euro tunnel trains) and also where to look at the train times on the app.However I am not sure WHICH train I can use or would be using and also I cannot seem to book it on the app too. I am not sure if it is because maximum reservations have been made using the pass or if I am doing something wrong.I also see that some of the reservations are 30+ Euros for trains as short as 20minutes is this because I have not applied a pass?Hope this makes sense, I don’t like to ask too much but it is quite expensive to mess these things up :)
