Dear train travellers,The website interrail.eu literally says in Dutch: "board most European trains by simply showing your Interrail pass". But in the Rail Planner app it says in English: "Before you board the train, you'll need to create a ticket in the app". I have an Interrail Global Pass Mobile. Suppose I only want to travel without a mandatory reservation, do I still have to create a "ticket" every time I want to board a train? That would mean that I'm constantly working on tickets if I want to make multiple trips, for example if I want to suddenly interrupt a trip and take a different route. That seems difficult to me if I only have a few minutes to transfer. I do not understand. Is it really not possible to use the pass by simply showing the pass without any ticket? Thanks in advance for your response. (This text has been translated from Dutch by Google Translate. The Dutch version is below.

Hello everybody,I paid for a global Interrail pass including all European countries which I activated and which will take effect next Monday (April 15) for my first trip Paris Gare de Lyon - Padova. I wanted to book the journey, which departs from Paris GDL at 7.21am and passes through Basel SBB, Milan and Padova (arriving at 7.14pm). However, I have several problems: * I can't book my ticket with a seat for the Paris Gare de Lyon, Basel SBB journey, as it displays this message: « One or more Passes don't cover this journey Select the travellers with valid Passes for this journey to book reservations. »* Finally, the prices displayed on the Rail planner application and Eurail are not at all the same (up to 3-4 times more expensive) ex: Basel SBB -> Milan (13€ on Rail planner vs 62€ on Eurail) Could you please help me Thank you very much 🙏🏼

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!  

Hello, Just looking for some general advice on the Interail trip that we're planning this May/June. Particularly any advice that would help us do the journey with a 8&10 year old. We've booked the big legs but if anyone thinks it wouldn't work or we are planning too much we'd love the advice. Day 1 - London to Paris (booked)Day 2 - Paris - Chur (need to book) 2 nights in Chur. Anyone have any tips on accommodation? We are looking forward to the cable car up the mountain! Day 4 - Bernina Express (booked) then Turino to Milan. Any advice on accommodation in Milan for a quick overnight?Day 5 - 8 - from Milan we want to travel somewhere near Pisa for some sightseeing. We would like to stay at a campsite with swimming pool. Day 8 - should we take another travel day and go to Venice OR should we go up to Lake Garda and travel to Venice for a day trip? Day 8 - 11 - Lake GardaDay 11 - Veronna to Vienna night train (booked) Day 12 - overnight in Vienna Day 13 - Vienna to Brussels night trai

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.

Hey everybody :) I’m trying to have a nice week of hiking in early May, and I was thinking of the French Pyrenees (I’m traveling from up North so Spain adds a lot of travel time), the French Alps, or maybe Austria.I’m having a hard time narrowing down my options! I would love to hike from hut to hut, and if possible walk through both forests and mountainous terrain. Staying a hut or hostel from which day hikes are possible would also be a perfectly agreeable option.Does anybody have any advice? Much appreciated :)

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

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 

Hello! This summer, we are going to Germany, Sweden, and Norway, and we have a doubt about whether it’s better to buy a 1st class pass or a 2nd class pass.

Hi community, I planned and read a lot with/about Interrail in the last weeks, but there are two major things which aren’t clear for me or at least are some strange discrepancies. Why is it not possible to use my Interrail log in for the app? I planned a journey in the app which doesn’t show on the website. A planned journey on the website (for testing purposes) doesn’t show in the app.Part of my planned journey on August 7th is ICE 16 from Cologne to Bruxelles, departure 11:42. It showed in the app and I saved it, so the connection definitely exists. But if I try to book a seat in the train on the website, the connection doesn’t even show anymore. There are suddenly only journeys with the much more expensive Eurostar. I also discovered many small things which aren’t working properly and honestly I have a little doubt to spend so much money on a global pass if I can’t trust it fully.

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
