So, I was looking to travel Genova to Ventimiglia and used the rail planner app. All trains shown required reservation. I followed link to https://www.eurail.com/en/book-reservations with intention of making a reservation for this route and several trains NOT requiring reservation also appeared e.g. RE 3360 Regional operated byFerrovie dello Stato SpADirectionVENTIMIGLIAWhy do these not appear in planner when "eurail" obviously does know about them. Do they "really" exist? 

I am trying to figure out the meaning of the notes in Rail Plan.When I try to search a trip from Antwerp (in Belgium) to Breda (in The Netherlands). It showed the note ‘Supplement included for international travel...’. When I clicked on ‘Read more’, it showed ‘Special Conditions ...’ as on the screen shots below.Does anyone knows what are those notes mean? Is the trip considered as ‘international travel’(from Belgium to Netherlands)? If I take the trip, do I have to pay for the supplement? Any help will be much appreciated!Thank you very much in advance!By the way, I will be using Eurail Globe Pass when I travel there. 

Hello Interrailers!I currently have a 30-minute gap between trains at Zagreb Glavny before catching the red-eye express down to Split, which leaves at 22:30.Should be enough… but if it isn’t (if the train from Hungary is delayed) what are my chances of getting a free ride on the next Zagreb-Split train? 100%? 50-50? Zilch? Depends who i ask?My travel days are all planned up, and it would be proper annoying to have lost out on a travel day, even more than on the couchette booking.Subsidiary Qs for those-who-know:The “next” train is at 07:00. If i am offered a free ticket, does it HAVE to be the very NEXT train, or can i get a free ride on the afternoon train instead (to make it worth an impromptu overnight stay)?Many thanks in advance,Badger        

Hello,I will be travelling this summer with an Interrail pass. A friend will be joining me from Hirtshals to Hamburg, she won’t have a pass. So I need to buy a seat reservation for the ICE between Kolding and Hamburg plus a full ticket from Hirsthals to Hamburg.What is the easiest way to get 2 seats side by side ? I tried DB web site but I did not find how I could buy at the same time a ticket and an additional seat. We will be arriving in Hirtshals with the ferry at 8.00 am. I read that the train station is not really close to the ferry terminal. What do you think the transfer time should be ? We could board the 8.50 train to Aaalborg but I wonder if that’s feasible.Thank you for sharing your experience !

I am traveling with my family to Italy with Interrail passes on the 24th of May this year. One of our legs is the high speed ICE train from Hamburg Hbf to Munich Hbf. Unlike the other legs on our journey, this one has worried me a lot. Partly because of the track work happening between Göttingen and Kassel, but also the allegedly alarming rates of delay this particular route, somtimes up to over 100 minutes. It is also an overnight train. We have another train to catch in Munich, going to Venice, but if the high speed train arrives on time, we have 90 minutes to spare before the next connection.Has someone had any experience with this route before and if yes, should I be concerned about this?

Hi. In short, we are trying to figure out if we will have enough time to Transfer Trains in Brussels. (Bruxelles Midi).We will be changing Trains in Brussels - on our way from Ghent to Luxembourg, ultimately to Trier.One of the possible routes shows ICE Trains coming into Brussels on Platform 7. We would then transfer to Platform 10, for the next leg to Luxembourg. There is less than 10 minutes between the two trains. We are hoping that Platform 7 is close to Platform 10. Without a Station Map, it is hard to determine the distance. We will both have a rolling suitcase. One of us has a slight back issue. We can walk, but we are not fast (or power) walkers. If anyone has been to Brussel Zuid (Bruxelles Midi) can you tells us how far apart the Platforms are? Is 7-8 minutes enough time to get from Platform 7 to Platform 10? We have heard that the Tickets will be good for the full day. So, worst case scenario, if we miss the Train (that is 7 minutes between), there should be another one aft

hi :)we are travelling from interlaken to brussels on 22 july (leaving 08:30). we want to take the 11:13 from basel to köln as part of this – currently we don’t seem to be able to book seat reservations anywhere for this but I saw another post saying not to worry about this and just check later… my question is just whether seat reservations are compulsory for this section, and if not, are they recommended (family of 5)? we already have reservations for köln to bruxelles midi (17:41 if i remember right), and I assume within switzerland it’s fine not to reserve seats?also the interrail journey planner is being weird with this – it says to take the 11:06 to basel bad (ICE 74 to berlin) then change to the 11:22 to köln (ICE 2258 to hamburg)… other places say the ICE 2258 goes from basel sbb so i’m assuming that’s finethank you, and sorry if this has already been discussed before!!ru xp.s. i know it’s faster to go via paris but we wanted to avoid there

Hi,I wonder if anyone knows if it is crucial or probably ok not to list the *exact* right S-Bahn train in Germany for local travel? I will spend the weekend in a city where the S-Bahn is convenient to get to our hotel so will use my pass for that. However there are loads of different S-Bahns going from the Hauptbahnhof every 2-3 minutes, so I’m just wondering how crucial it is that I manage to see if it’s S1 or S2 or S3 or whatever, then log that on my pass and activate it before I enter the train..? Or would any S-Bahn train listed be ok to activate even if I happen to go the two stops on another one..?Thanks for any advice!

Hi, Have purchased a flexi Eurail Pass. Our travel plan is Budapest-Vienna-Innsbruck-Salzburg-Prague. Am having a problem with getting a seat reservation on the Salzburg Prague leg. The 10.22 am Exp Express has a change in Linz. Salzburg to Linz reservation is available but for Linz - Prague sector it says ‘ ticket only for one section’ .  How do I reserve seats for the Linz - Prague sector.

Im non European but my kids are European age 4-11 . they also have non -european passports. We all live out of Europea. How can I buy passes for us? interails or eurails? Can I just buy eurail for all of us? Thanks so much for your help!

I have a Eurail Pass and booked a Reservation and it has myself and my partner sitting nowhere near each other. I have seen questions here about changing seats and no one has a good answer. You can’t tell me that we are expected to travel around Europe on a Pass we bought for travelling together not sitting with each other??? That is not acceptable and no one should think it is.  

Hi, I'm in my second day of a 7-day travel pass. The Rail Planner App is not working, the issue is the same that happend to Tarek here https://community.eurail.com/eurail-interrail-passes-41/mobile-pass-disappeared-completely-771 but his solution it's not working for me. I've sent emails to support but anyone is answering. The mobile pass doesn't shows in the app section and that section requests me to add a pass. When I do the proper steps, the app says me that the mobile pass has been added in this phone and I can check it in the app section. It's a loop: when I go back, the pass stills missing. Any idea? 

Hello everyone! From Interrail's "Rail planner" application, I can't find out which trains are included in the pass and whether it covers night routes. In particular, in the case of Norway, a search for the following trains (found on the railway companies' website) returns no results. I refer to the following trains:  

Ciao a tutti! Dall’applicazione “Rail planner” di Interrail non si riesce a capire quali treni siano incusi dentro al pass e se questo copre le tratte notturne. In particolare, nel caso della Norvegia, la ricerca dei seguenti treni (trovati nel sito delle compagnie ferroviarie) non restituisce nessun risultato. Mi riferisco ai seguenti treni: Riuscireste a indicarmi se sono inclusi nel pass? Grazie a tutti :)

Hello Interrail Community,On May 11th, we plan to start our journey back home from Barcelona to Munich. We intended to purchase our seat reservations at the Renfe counter in Barcelona, but we were informed that from May 9th to May 13th, there are no trains running from Barcelona to Paris (or anywhere like Avignon). Now we are searching for an alternative route to return to Munich (or somehow to Paris), but we can't seem to find any route.(We also would leave one day earlier) Have we overlooked something? Does anyone know of an alternative? Any help would be greatly appreciated.Greetings.

Hi,I am planning a trip on 15.4.2024 from Madrid to Vigo train AVIA 4115. Since weeks most fast trains are only available unti 30.3.2024. On various community entries I found renfe usually makes them available for reservation about 60 days in advance. This would have been 15.2.2024. Unfortunately their phone support is terrible english and  I did not find any mail adress to ask.Does anybody know what’s ongoing here or where I can buy seat reservations?  

Hi every one,I want to go to Portugal from France, but there are no direct trains. I have to go through Spain. In that case, can I take a country pass, or do I have to take the global? Thank you for your help ++ Laure :)

I'm from Australia and planning a trip to Europe in July with 2 of my friends. We are planning to get a train from Barcelona to Valencia, and I was looking at the highspeed Euromed (RENFE) train as it is quick and supposedly scenic.However, I have found out that you cannot make reservations online, so I was wondering how I'm suppose to reserve a seat on this train? Obviously going into the office is not an option as I'm on the other side of the world, and doing it when I get to Europe would be too risky as these trains supposedly sell out fast.I have read that I could potentially call a Swiss ticket office, or that I could call RENFE? However I only speak English, would the phone operator even be an English speaker?I have seen that I can book online/on the RENFE app roughly 60 days in advance, but this is without Eurail discount. Is it worth just doing it like that, or is the discount substantial?Any help would be appreciated as a lot of this is foreign to me and has been a nightmare t

I’m wanting to book two trips in Italy: Rome to Sulmona, and Rome to Trevi in July. When I put the information into the Eurail planner I get a message, “Sorry, we can’t find any trains that match your search.” Yet when I go on the Trenitalia website and search for those journeys there are many of them to choose from. Why are they available, but not on the Eurail app? Are they not covered by the pass, or are they not yet available for pass holders?
