Solved

I’ve been trying to book 21 Dec EN40459 Canopus overnight train from Zurich to Prague (4 people) since months ago.  Tried DB, CZ, SBB and OBB railways’ websites.  At first, no timetable available, then Seat Reservation was not allowed.  I then recently realized Seat Reservation for overnight train is now possible until I read somebody’s conversation in this community.  So I tried to buy tickets with Eurail Pass discount in OBB.  Eurail Pass discount is not aavailable at DB, CZ or SBB railways.   After I paid with credit card at OBB, the system said my selected compartment are not available.  However, when I retry, there are no other compartments’ choice available but kept showing me the compartments I could not buy.  I then wrote to CZ railway, and got a reply that there were only few places in 5-berth compartment but I need to buy at the stations international ticket counters.  Oh gee, I won’t arrive Europe until 17 Dec.Please may I have advice on ways to book/buy tickets asap?

I’m going to travel to Isle of Wight, Great Brittain. I can’t find if the ticketprice for this specific ferry is included in the Interrailticket. Does anybody know? 

Strange, when I go with the train with panoramic coach from Vienna to Krakow, rail planner app says I do need a reservation for 8€ (but not where to buy). But when I go from Krakow to Vienna with the same train, a reservation is only optional.  is this a mistake? What happens if I board this train in Vienna without a reservation?

Can I move my seat reservations to a different date if plans change   

Me gustaría saber si más adelante salen nuevos viajes en ferry por las islas griegas. Ahora mismo entre varias islas no hay ferrys disponibles que pueda reservar von interrail.

I have purchased my husband's Eurail Pass, but I am still waiting for my own Complimentary Companion Pass.As I am wanting to reserve some very popular routes/times, I am wondering if I can purchase his on his pass and book my own journey (without a pass number) while I am waiting for it to arrive.I dont want to miss out on the reservations. Thanks in advanceDonna

How far in advance are reservations released for Eurostar & TGV?

Hello. I live in a small village in France close to the border with Switzerland. My village has no train station. My primary train station is Geneva. I want to buy an Interrail Global Pass for a trip to the UK, going from Geneva via Paris to London. So while my resident country is France, my in- and outbound trips are to and from Geneva, Switzerland. And to get to the UK I travel from Switzerland to France on my way to and from the UK. Can someone assure me that this is not a problem, or, if it is, since my home country where I live is not my home travel base, what do you recommend me to do? Thanks

Can I use 10 Day Eurail Global pass to book seats on Frecciargento to travel from Rome to Venice? 

Hi,I bought the flexible-pass 4 days within a months for me and my girlfriend. And I have a question about validity of the pass. Could you clarify if the "month" refers to: 1. A period of approximately 30 days starting from the first day the pass is used (meaning I can use the 4 travel days within the following 30 days after activation).2. A specific calendar month, where I can only use the 4 travel days within that same month.For example, if I start using the pass on December 20, does that mean I can only use the remaining travel days within December, or does it count as a 30-day period starting from December 20 (in this example until January 20)? I’d greatly appreciate it if someone could clarify how this works. Thanks in advance!  

I’ll be in Europe for 3 months, and have pretty much lined up the trains I’ll be using in France and Italy.  They show up in my Rail Planner. My QUESTION is: Can I obtain a printable list in the order of all the trains (including transfers) that I plan to take?  Thanks. I’ve researched this community forum, and I do not find anything related to this question. Mel

Hi,I'm traveling to Italy soon and i can't seem to find a few trains in the Rail Planner app. I've read that Trenitalia TPER doesn't share the timetables for their trains, how do one find out if it is one? Finding this out right after timetable change can also be difficult, as one doesn't have any data to compare times with.So, why aren't some trains showing up in the Rail Planner app?

Just bought x 2 global passes for the honeymoon next year, the 10 days within 2 months passes. Will be traveling from Doncaster in the UK to London for the Eurostar to Paris for 2 nights as doing Versailles.  Then we are off to Italy to spend the remaining 18 nights or so down and then up the boot. Would like to possibly get across to Sardinia and Sicily (depending on cost of ferry etc) Any hints and tips and recommendations to go in Italy would be recommended. We are in our late 40s not clubbing folk, do like a nice lively bar though and love to walk and see 'stuff' also love the countryside as much as a city.  I'm guessing I won't be able to book rail now for June next year, from your experience everyone, when do routes become available please? And thank you in advance.  Bazza. 

Sorry, but it's complicated, I'm going to write a newspaper.On November 20th I bought 2 Global Passes - 1 month successively in first class.On November 26th I still hadn't received the passes, but I received an advertisement from Interrail"Save 25% on all Global Passes until December 17th and embark on an adventure that will leave a lasting impression."I immediately sent an email asking because no one told me there would be a 25% discount offer!!!! and that I wanted the amount I had paid in excess of 400€ refunded.I was told that it wouldn't be possible, but that I could return them when I received the passes and my money would be refunded immediately (1610€) and I could buy two new passes with the discounted amounts.And that's what I did, I bought 2 new passes even though I hadn't received the others.2 days later I received the passes with the old values, this was on 28/11/24, I just changed the recipient and sent it back via DHL, even though there was a printout on the envelope that

Hi my dear fellow interrailers,I might have a kind of basic question, but as many others I don’t find my exact answer in the forum, so I’ll ask here: Last summer I bought a global flexi pass (5 days wihtin 1 month) and it says Activate by june 18th 2025. So that means I have to travel until the july 18th 2025, right? Because my plans have changed several times and I can’t travel until end of july.If that’s not possible with my current pass, can I exchange it, or do I have to cancel it and buy a new one?Thanks so much for your time! Have a great sundayNadia 

Can anyone tell me please the stops on the Madrid – Albacete – Alicante route?

Dear Interrail Community,  I’m reaching out for help regarding an issue with my Interrail Pass. It appears to have been linked to the wrong email address, which I no longer have access to.  I urgently need to have the pass sent to my current email address so I can use it for an upcoming trip. If anyone knows how to resolve this quickly or has experienced a similar situation, I’d be very grateful for your guidance.  Thank you so much for your support!  Best regards,  Luc  

Hey guys,I’m planning an Interrail travel next year in summer partly going to Marseille and I would like to go to Genova from there since I have seen a train connection in the Interrail map. I can see that the connection Marseille still exists from the SNCF and Trenitalia sites but the connection doesn’t show up in the App. Is this route not included in the Interrail Ticket? Do you have any idea why it is this way? GreetingsFabian

I’m after advice/information on a SNCF Connect option that I can see on their website.Their website only shows timetables within the next 30 days & I’m being very premature in looking for choices for a planned trip on 23 April 2025!However, one of the options on the Lyon Part-Dieu - Gare Routiere to Annecy is an “AUTOCAR - Car REGIONAURA 33625”.Is this a bus? The timetable makes this a good option for us.Does anyone have any advice/opinion on whether this is a feasible option?I have a 1st class Global 15 day 2 month Eurail pass. Can this Pass be used on this trip?Thanks 

Hello, my husband and I will be traveling from Munich to Paris, and when trying to make a seat reservation through the rail planner app it guides me to make a seat reservation via the the SNCB website https://travel.b-europe.com/eurail-ge/en/booking#TravelWish, once I fill all the information in it asks for my pass cover number, I can't seem to find that number anywhere. I found this website https://www.eurail.com/en/book-reservations#/generatePassCoverNumber that can generate a pass cover number but I don't know how or where to find my mobile pass number. I looked through the confirmation email when I purchased the passes but it's not showing a “mobile” pass number that is 6 characters long and can contain numbers and letters.  The numbers I see within the confirmation email include: Order Number, & Pass Number, mind you it’s not stating its a “mobile” pass number. Within the Rail Planner app, I can view the pass reference (which is the same as the pass number on the confirmation

Hello, my family and I are arriving in the UK from the US on January 11. We have the dream of traveling Europe by train. We would like to see as much of the highlights as possible . I’m looking for recommendations as to the best train route to take. 

Hallo, ich möchte Plätze für TGV ab Ulm nach Paris für April 2025 reservieren, den interrail Pass habe ich schon.Beim interrail Planer kann ich Reservierung buchen, aber es gibt hier scheinbar keine Platzauswahl?Bei Rail Europe geht es momentan auch für Fahrten im Januar überhaupt nicht zu reservieren? Danke  Peter 

We are making plans to go to Italy by train, from the Netherlands through Germany and Switzerland. We are trying to figure out whether it is cheaper with an EUrail pass or with regular tickets. I find this difficult for my 13 year old child.On the DB site is says: Children aged 6-14 travel free when accompanied by someone aged 15 or over. However, they must be specified at the time of booking.Does anyone know if an adult travelling with an EUrail pass can take a 13 year child without an EU rail pass on the train in Germany for free?
