Get ready to travel

Is it possible to add/delete journeys from the Pass after the journey has started? And what about after it has finished?Reason for asking is that I was originally intending to take the Eurostar from St. Pancras to Amsterdam, and I bought a passholder reservation for that journey.My plans have now changed and I would like to get off the Eurostar early in Brussels. As I understand it this might not technically be allowed but in practice should be OK because there aren’t ticket checks on arrival. I don’t want to change the passholder reservation because there is a charge for doing that.However, if I change the journey in my Pass to say Brussels instead of Amsterdam it won’t match the passholder reservation. And if I leave it as Amsterdam I can’t add the next train I am going to take from Brussels because it leaves before the Eurostar has arrived in Amsterdam (i.e. it overlaps).So what I was thinking was to leave the journey in the Pass as Amsterdam until I arrive in Brussels, then delete

Hello everyone! I am planning to take this route on 14 July from Bellinzona - Nice (Riquier).09:14 Bellinzona - Milano Centrale EC31311:10 Milano Centrale - Ventimiglia  IC63715:16 Ventimiglia - Nice ( Riquier) ​​​​The sbb, öbb apps , rail europe all say "tickets not available" only for the EC313 at 09:14 , IC637 at 11:10 every Sunday. Why is that? I understand that Swiss trains don't need reservations but the cross border ones into Italy do, correct? Or am I missing something? Can I just get on any EC/IC/ RE trains going out of Switzerland without reservations? Thank you for your suggestions!  

There are busses run by the Greek Rail company - for example from Patras railway station to connect with the train from Kiato into Athens. Does anyone know if the bus part is covered by a global interrail pass?

Hello, I recently heard about the Eurail 4 days pass for Greek Islands. I though I finally found an affordable way to visit the Greek islands are to me, ferry prices are outrageous. Unfortunately, I am not that young anymore and not extremely enthusiast to the idea of spending long overnight trip on an economy seat.   My question is the following: is there a way to upgrade from an economy seat to a bed when making a reservation? I am going to Greece at the end of April - beginning of May, which should normally be a relatively quiet time. However, this year, Orthodox Easter is May 5 and ferry are popular.  There is no chance I will get a bed if I wait to be on the ferry to upgrade.  Thank you.   

I have searched trips a near as tomorrow and as far as it’s in their calendar, their system can’t find any seat available.. is this normal? (trying to reserve tickets from London to Liverpool)

Hey! I’m trying to make seat reservations to a train from Ljubljana to Rijeka (8:30 am - 11:12 am) on 12th of May since the Rail Planner says that seat reservation are required. In the app the name/number of the train is EN 60237 but when I try to book with CD (Ceske Drahy) on their website the train number is INT 481 OPATIJA. The route and schedule of the trains seems to be the same so is it okay to book the seats with CD ? And extra question if anybody knows the answer… I wanted to travel from Budapest to Graz on 8th of May with direct connection (4:29 pm - 9:20 pm). I tried to make the seat reservation already in March, but both CD and Eurail said that the train is temporarily unavailable for reservations or the prices are unavailable. Today I checked the Hungarian website (MAV-START) and according to it the train is fully booked. Rail Planner says seat reservations are optional for that route, but since we don’t have seats booked does this mean we don’t have any chance to catch tha

Bonjour J'aimerai réserver un trajet pour deux de Lucques à Venise en juin 2024 malheureusement le site ne trouve pas de résultat. Après recherche, je comprends que c'est la partie Lucques - Florence qui coince car il y a ce qu'il faut pour Florence - Venise. Il existe pourtant bien un train régional entre Lucques et Florence puisque je le prends 2 jours auparavant dans le sens inverse.D'ailleurs lors de cette première réservation, j'ai une partie avec siège a réservé que j'ai faite et payer et depuis, je n'ai pas reçu de tickets pour cette partie de voyage (Florence - Lucques).Peut etre est ce la même chose dans l'autre sens du coup ?Ainsi, cela voudrait dire que je peux monter dedans comme ça sans souci juste en présentant mon pass ?Du coup cela comptera comme un jour de voyage ?A quel moment est il décompté si oui ?Je suis à votre disposition s'il y a besoin de précisions. Bonne journée à la communauté. Merci d'avance.

Hello! I’m planning my trip fram the Netherlands to France, Switzerland and Italy. I’m going through Paris, Colmar, Interlaken, Lucern, Como, Milan, Venezia, Florence and Roma. The high speed train I will take are Eurostar to Paris, TGV to Strasbourg and Italian high speeds trains travelling in Italy. I'am going to Jungfrau as well. Should I get a Eurail Global pass or just point to point tickets with maybe Swiss Half Fare?

Hello! We are looking to travel around Britain as well as one stop in Paris. We are there for 15 days. Our itinerary is roughly as follows. We have some dates that are fixed, but we also have a few spare days and so we want to stay a bit flexible. It seems like our options are Brit rail pass, this would cover all the Britain portions, and then pay out of pocket for London to Paris. If we use Brit rail, we would need 4 days Flexi pass at a minimum This is 898 CDN$ for 2 people.If we use the Eurail option, we would need 7 days Flexipass 1,138 CDN$ for 2 people + the 260.71$ fee for using it from London to Paris which makes it close to individual tickets. I looked up tickets in advance on a few different websites. These are the prices I found in CDN dollars.London to Paris Round 356.00 USD = 483.82 CDNLondon to Bath   2 Adults @ £38.50 = 137 CDNBath to York    £157.29 = 287 CDNYork to Edinburgh  2 Adults @ £42.20 = 149 CDNEdinburgh to London   £112.20 = 246 CDNTotal 1302Would a eurail pas

I am trying to book a train from Paris to Berlin (6th-May) via below trains  I have a first class Eurail pass, can some one guide me how to book a sleeper ? (Tickets and Seats)

Hi everyone! Im really confused about this supplement, and i don’t know where to buy it either! My friends and I are travelling from Amsterdam to Frankfurt in August, and we’ve already booked our seats on the DSB website (as it wasn’t still possible on interrail website). There was nothing about any supplement on this website, but if i look this train up on the Interrail app, or on the online planner, it says that a supplement is required. Does anyone know what this supplement is? And where we can buy it? We’re travelling on an ICE on the 28th of August. Thank you very much!!  

Hello,I took me a few days and tentatives to be able to use your forum. I got message errors when creating an account, including with a Facebook ID. I though this forum was not in use anymore so I did not ask my questions and did not have timely answers.I hope you can fix this for the next new users. 

Hi,I am planning on taking ride on 3. 7. 2024 form Prague (6:38) to London via Köln an Bruxelles, but train between Köln and Bruxelles (EUR 9474) is for Interrail pass holders already sold out. In mobile app I found ICE 12, but on website I can not find it. Can I book seats on bahn.com and use it with Interrail pass? And if so, why it is not showing up in train times? If not, do I understand it correctly, that I would need to buy full fare and seat reservation for EUR 9474 or ICE 12? Also from my understanding it should be in possible most cases to book reservation through carriers sites? If so, is it better to book seats through interrail.eu or directly from carriers?Thanks 

I am wishing to book a double sleeper on the European sleeper from Amsterdam to Berlin for 18 September. The schedule has just come out. It is showing no double sleeper availability with the eurail pass. Will availability for eurail open later, or are all of the allocations to eurail passes used already?

Hello,I am little not sure about what train route I should take from Interlaken to Chur, (in May) with Interrail Global pass. I need to catch Bernina express from Chur as early as possible. I checked Rail planner and Google Maps, all route showing via Bern and Zurich, and no trains showing via Lucerne (not sure if via Lucerne will be less time consuming or not). Kindly suggest.TIA 

Como usar o aplicativo Rail planer em português ?

I tried to add the route from Bolzano to Monterosso to my trip in the Eurail app, and got a message that a supplement is required for this train. Apparently, all trains going via the Brenner route require this supplement,.I tried booking via Eurail, but that wasn’t possible. The Eurail information says: “You need a mandatory supplement to travel to/from/within Italy. You can purchase the supplement in advance or on the train for a small fee (5 Euro). 2nd class: 10 Euro, 1st class 15 Euro.The information says to book it via the ÖBB ticket shop. I selected the “Interrail/Eurail Global Pass” under “Discounts”. For 3 people, the supplement was 182 Euros 70 Cents.Is that normal, or am I doing something wrong? That does seem kind of steep, especially when Eurail says in the info that the supplement would cost 10 or 15 Euro, respectively.Can anyone help me with this?Thanks very much!!Sylvia

 As a family of two adults traveling with a four-year-old child, I've already made reservations for the two adults through the Bernina Express website, utilizing the 'Eurail pass' reduction. Notably, I didn't reserve a seat for my child since the Bernina website clearly states that children under six travel for free. Now should I make seat reservation for adults and child from Eurail website ? or if using Eurail pass is it mandatory that child needs reservation ?

Hi,Will my seat reservation be still valid if I deactivate the pass after purchasing it, and then activate the pass again? I will be getting a new ID soon and thus I will need to deactivate my pass to update it. However, I want to make seat reservations as soon as possible as they might be sold out after I have got a new ID, and that’s something I’d like to avoid. Can I purchase the seat reservations before I deactivate the pass, or should I wait until I get the new document and buy them only after my pass has been activated “for good”? Note: I got my ticket from DiscoverEU, so I had to activate it before the end of March. They told me it’s completely fine to deactivate it to update my ID afterwards, but I have no idea what happens to my seat reservations then. 

Trying to work out if the Interrail Global Pass is valid on RENFE, specifically the Cercanías/commuter trains in the North/Northwest of Spain. Any help is appreciated.

We are travelling from Interlaken to Lyon (one day) in mid June and we have a 1st class Eurail pass.  It appears that seat reservations are optional.  1) If we don’t book a seat, can we still access the 1st class carriage? 2) is there any danger we won’t get a seat on the train if we don’t reserve a seat?

I booked DB first class seats using my Second class pass as website have both options while booking. should i rebook, can i get a refund on the first class reservation? 

As a first-time user of the Eurail pass, I've already reserved seats through the official Bernina Express website (https://shop.rhb.ch/). I've paid 36 CHF for seat reservations by selecting the 'Eurail pass' reduction option. Interestingly, the website didn't prompt me for my Eurail pass number or any related details; it simply applied the discount Now I believe I already made the seat reservation (selected seat which I want). However, I'm uncertain whether I should also book seats through the Eurail pass website, as it seems to cost an additional 120 EUR. Could you please advise me on whether booking seats through the Eurail pass website is necessary or recommended?  

I will be in Europe in 2 weeks. I see only one available train (Paris to Barcelona) that I could purchase a reservation.Given the short time for the post, I was wondering if I could buy the reservation online and then go to a train office (when in Europe) and ask them to print the tickets for me.Thanks, 

Hi I’m planning my interrail journey and would like to now how far in advance I should book my seat reservation. I will be visiting big cities like Paris, Barcelona and Milano.Thanks for the help in advance!
