Get ready to travel

I plan to travel from Baden Baden to Milan with and overnight stop in Brig. The reservation system has a message “No seats available for reservation” from the Brig to Milan section. Does this mean there are no seats available to reserve, or that a reservation cannot be made for that train?

I am planning on using 2 travel days in Switzerland and France, and then flying to Greece for the Greek Islands. Do I need to buy a Global Pass in order to also buy the Greek Islands Pass? If so, I assume the travel days do not double-count, is that correct?

Hi!  I am going to travel from Paris-Bruges-Amsterdam-Prague. I already made the mandatory reservations; one in Eurail website and other one in European Sleeper. Is there a way to add those reservations to my mobile pass? How will the tickets be validated? With the Mobile Pass or with the Reservation QR?Also should I validate the tickets before I jump on the trains to avoid fines?Also I see that the train from Bruges to Amsterdam requires a Supplement, but it says is Included for International Travel, so in theory I dont need to worry about it?  

Hello, I can’t understand why this flight is not in the planner? Which one should I choose to make? the conductor will check it 

Hello all, Myself and my partner are looking to travel between the following: Rome - Isle of Giglio - Pisa - Lake Como - Zurich (and then whilst in Zurich: a day trip out to Lichtenstein and a day trip out to Bern). As you can imagine, these train prices will all quickly add up, as they are mostly hours long in duration. With this in mind, I thought an EU Rail pass might be a better option, however we are struggling to find where we can check/search journeys between cities that would be included within the pass. Does anyone have any insights either a) on whether these journeys would be allowed/included? b) where to check? Thanks in advance x 

Hi there! I'm going on to the UK/EU from June 10th to July 10th and got the Eurail global pass 2nd class as I'm visiting nine locations (there are two pairs of locations in the same country). I think I've figured out everything that I need to know to make seat reservations but there's still a bit of confusion. I know Eurail is not truly up to date with their timetables, so I'm trying to figure out how to make a seat reservation when Eurail's timetable doesn't match the official train operator's website. For example, I'm going from Glasgow to London on June 15th, but the timetable for that date won't be available until April 24th, yet, Eurail is showing times for that date. What should I do? Wait until the official tran operator releases their timetable or just book it through Eurail?Many people say don't book through Eurail to get seat reservations and go directly through the train operator. Should I actually follow this practice? Is this recommended just because of the additional fee

Good evening,When I open my mobile pass ticket, in the top right corner, there is an active timer ticking away. What is this timer for. Kind regards Adam.

Hello We are looking for some ideas for traveling thru Italy relying on Eurail system for transportation in Late September thru October 2024 We will be traveling for about (4) weeks, we are planning to land in Rome spending time there, then heading south along the Amalfi coast visiting different towns along the way, heading down the west coast to Sicily. And then spending a couple of weeks in Sicily traveling and visiting the island. Wanted to know the reliability of the trains, How convenient is this idea to getting around, how does the train system and public transportation work in the outlying city's and how does and which Eurail pass works when using between the (2) months of our travel for a (4)-week visitThanks Joe & Tina 

I’m trying to make my first journey since using my pass for my outbound journey, so I know the app works. I can see my planned journey and have got the little yellow icons showing. It says that it’s been saved to my pass, but when I open it there’s nothing there. Any idea what’s going on?

I’m considering a long trip on an interrail starting in Edinburgh in the morning and ending up getting the sleeper from London Paddington to Penzance that same night.I’m intending to do this using only 1 day of a 4 day pass on the basis that the sleeper departs at 23:45 UTC, but from what I have seen mentioned here before is that the cut-off for a new day is 00:00 CET, which is 23:00 UTC.I don’t want to find out the hard way that this will cost me 2 days travel.Is there any way to know for sure that it will only take 1 day and not have to worry about what happens on the day?Thanks,z

Hi, I am trying to book seat reservations for trains from bruxelles midi to nimes and from nimes to barcelona sants.

HiI have never bought an interrail pass before, and before I do I want to ask, can I travel out from London to Europe? We are looking at starting and ending our trip in London, and travelling to Austria with stops mid journey there and back, in August.I checked the journey planner on the web site and it only gives me the option to travel to other places in the UK if I start in London. I don’t know whether I need a different kind of ticket to travel from London to European countries, so want to make sure I’m doing the right thing before I buy a very expensive ticket!ThanksSian 

Hello Eurail Community,For 37 days of travel with 11 travel days in Europe, which global pass is better? 1 months option or 2 months option?thanksAlex

Hello, So i want to start travelling with a Global Pass in September, but I dont know when i should buy the Ticket, because i`ll need it for Seat reservations right? But when i buy it, for example in June can i still use it in September? Thanks in Advance.

Does Eurail global pass work for Zermatt to Matterhorn gondolas? 

I will be traveling from Waterloo Station to Dorchester South.  The app is not giving me the option of choosing South Western Railway trains. Is the train included in the eurorail pass? I'm not seeing it listed on the website either. Thank you! 

Hi Everyone,My fiancé and I are travelling with a 15 day pass and one of the trips is from Nice to Barcelona on July 9th. I believe this trip has 2 stops along the way in Montpellier and Marseille , however, for 2 days now we have been trying to reserve seats and it keeps coming as - not available - as if everything was booked out already. But prior to the 09/04 we couldn’t book because it exceeded the 90 days prior to the travel date and now on that day is all booked? It must be some kind of mistake surely! We have contacted support and we were told to keep trying, so I guess I am reaching out to see if anyone has any suggestions or has had a similar experience that tell me how it was navigated. thank you so much!  

I am travelling tomorrow between 2 and 3 pm from Madrid to Granada. Is it okay to activate tomorrow morning? Which that means my month starts tomorrow? Thank you!

i booked seat reservations for my wife and I using DB app.  We are travelling from Cologne to Brussels.I have an invoice but I have not been issued with a QR code or any way of downloading a ticket. Is this correct?I was not able to create an account on the app but did pay without creating one. Now I find I can’t access the reservations.Could this be because I have booked from UK and can’t get access to the website from here? Will I be able to download the tickets when I am in Germany? What do I present when I try to get on the train?We have global Eurail passes.

Hi, we are having some issues with seat reservations for our journey from GENOVA P.ZA PRINCIPE (ITALY) to VENTIMIGLIA (ITALY) on 12/06 - we are wanting to reserve seats as this is one of our bigger journeys (to Marseille St Charles). The page says ‘Prices temporarily unavailable, Check back in a few hours to see prices and book this seat reservation.’ on the journey we want to book. Can anyone help with this?

We’ve struggled to create a workable journey from our home to London St Pancras.Repeated messages in Journey Planner indicated  - Sorry, no trains . . . .etc We were using the station title of ‘St Pancras International’ - but that station name only works for trains leaving the UK .. which I guess is International. For UK trains arriving into St Pancras, use ONLY London St Pancras. Logical but we’ve  always called it St P Int’l.Thanks to Mark, man@seat61.com for putting us right

This is my first time using the Eurail pass. I was wondering if it would be possible to make a seat reservations 2-3hours ahead of departure. I”m landing from the US to CDG and am concerned over flight delays along w long lines to clear immigration/customs.I would like to book my seats after I get on the train from the airport. Assuming there are still seats, can I book my seats the same day, hours in advance? I”m planning on going strait from the airport to the train station and take one a few hours later (3 hr buffer) but I have no control over how long the lines are at the airport thus prefer to book after I’m cleared to go..

We bought our tickets Feb / March but activated the  Pass two days ago. I’m still confused.Firstly, I think I understand that we need to create a trip / doneWe then Add JourneyOk. So I can see our Reservations in my-account/reservation-booking-details/my-itineraryNext step - on my mobile, I go to PlannerAdd my first journey / London - Bassel. That's fine.And the next leg, Bassel to Firenze.Here it gets tricky. The train we have tickets for, doesn't show Likewise, the Paris London train isn’t showing for the one we have booked. This is the first issue. The second one is that when we tried to book our From Home UK leg, the ticket office noted the Activated Pass and reference numbers, but say we should have a QR code for them to scan.  I dont see a QR code with the Mobile Pass.

Hi Interrailers,I have a sleeper reservation for the ÖBB NightJet on Thu 16 May from Paris to Berlin. Lucky me, you may say. Well, that’s what i thought too, until the train suddenly disappeared off the timetable.No notification from ÖBB. I emailed them 3 days ago, when i found out, but not a peep.Nor have they surreptitiously refunded the money.Now, there have been rumblings in the press here in France about ÖBB canceling 2 out of 3 NightJets, so i reckon i have cause for concern…Anyone else having issues with the NightJets of late ?
