Solved

Hi, I'm not really sure if this is how you use this site so forgive me if I'm “ute och cyklar” as we say in Sweden ( “out biking” when someone is extremely unaware/wrong). When I was 8 (now I’m 19 turned 6 days ago happy birthday to me yay :D) my amazing parents took me on a trip through Europe, we went to many different countries but I fell in LOVE with cochem. It is the one place i til this day think about and miss. I have skimmed through recommendations and such but someone know any/ how to find any well priced (low) hostels/ living places there? :D (sorry if this is not what I am suppoesed to ask lol :D)

Hi there, I bought a global plus pass 3 months ago and I am using it now. I’m not very good booking seat reservations, but LNER  have been great and have helped me. I just booked seat selection via the Italy website, but I wanted to use one of my credits, i have two left. I used one for the Eurostar, but I can’t remember how i did it. Can someone please help me, explain how to use my credit, i ended up paying 65 Euro for seat selection and I want to use up my two credits left. I hope this makes sense. I only have my mobile phone now, last time (for the Eurostar) I think I used a computer to book. thanks

Apologies if you are reading this twice.  I wrote this at the end of an earlier posting and then noticed that it was headed up with ‘solved’ and so thought it may not be read.I previously sought advice on this forum about using Eurostar vouchers (for a delayed departure) to part pay for reservations on the London to Paris train.  I received some good advice.Unfortunately i called just now and was told that vouchers could not (no longer?) be used for Interrail passholder reservations.   Peter

I asked the following question of AI.  However I thought it would be wise to get some human input before proceeding!Basically my wife and I traveled from Lille to St Pancras in January on Eurostar and were subject to a   delay which meant we were able to claim e-vouchers by way of compensation.   I shall shortly be purchasing Interrail passes for the two of us for travel in September, with the first leg being on Eurostar from London to Paris.  So my question is - can I use our e-vouchers to part pay for our seat reservations?The answer I got back from AI was - yes.  However this could only be done through Eurostar itself and over the phone.   It also advised that normally there would be a £12 booking fee.  However since there was no other way of making this booking that I should request that this booking fee be waived.   Would you agree with this?  Anything else that you think I should take into account before moving forward on this? Thanks in anticipation.Peter

Hello everyone !  I’m really hoping on someone that one day had the same problem I’m havingWe are in the 21th century, so I thought that the email form of the pass would be the easiest. But…. My phone (iPhone SE 2016) is not compatible with the new version of the app.  therefore I am just in the middle of nothing because in the end I don’t have any passes to present to the train people that control the tickets… What can I do ?? thanks a lot It’ll sincerely help me :)

Bonjour,J’ai pourtant lu différentes sources sur le sujet et je ne suis toujours pas sûre d’avoir bien bien compris?Est ce bien au moment de l’activation du pass que les billets sont édités et donc disponibles et que c’est seulement à ce moment là que l’on choisit nos jours de voyage?Comme il est conseillé de ne pas activer le pass trop tôt, ne prends t’on pas le risque, pour les trajets sans réservation, de ne pas avoir de disponibilités.Merci de votre retourPatricia

I bought an Interrail pass for Spain. From what I understand, some train tickets are included in the pass, while others require an additional purchase. How do I reserve seats? Do I need to go to the station the day before, for example? Or should I buy tickets on the Spanish railway company’s website or app? Do all trips require a supplement? Or are there some trips where seat reservations aren’t necessary? Thanks for all your advice—I’m a little bit confused.

Is Eurail pass good between paris and london 

My current country of residence is Germany, and I am travelling to Switzerland.I read about 1 outbound and 1 inbound travel day, to leave and return to your country of residence using the Pass.I wanted to ask whether it is applicable for a single country pass or only a global pass? 

Hi all. I'm going from Interlaken West to Roma Termini on August 2nd this summer. Whenever I look at possible trips for this route, there's an issue from Milano Centrale to Roma Termini. On this date, there seem to be no high-speed Frecciarossa trains at all. Whenever I look at dates from July and before, they run multiple times per hour. Does someone know if there's a reason for this? I'd prefer for it to not take 10 hours to get from Milan to Rome :)

I am new to this, and want to be absolutely certain that I don`t get this wrong; when I buy a travle pass, I can use this pass to book tickets directly on the traincompanies websites, and with my Interrailpass code I will get redused prices for the reserved seats? 

Hi , i take train from birmingham to king cross london, What that mean transfer by public transport? Tq

Hi there!I discover interrail concept recently and I love it! I plan to go to Göteborg (Gothemburg) from Paris, and from there take a flight for Paris at the end of my trip. I’ll probably be solo traveling the entire journey as a girl, between the last week of July and the first of August and I plan to stay at hostels to cut prices.I used the Trip Planner of Interrail and I was thinking about this travel itinerary (but let me know what you think) :Paris → Odense (connections in Köln/Koeln and Hambourg) (I don’t wish to stop too long by those cities nor Brussels because I’ve already been there for few days); Odense → Copenhagen  Copenhagen → Malmö Malmö → GöteborgI don’t absolutely want to visit Götenborg but the flights are cheaper with this departure. If you have other itineraries let me know your suggestions :)So here are my questionsSince I’m a beginner in this adventure, do you think it’s doable? How many days should I plan to stay in each places? Where or how can I book my train t

Hi,I am trying to connect a trip to My Pass for Day 2.When doing so, I am exclusively linked to my trip for Day1, which is still shown as active (circle left of the trip name is blue). The planned trip for Day2 does not show up. The trip for Day1 could not be completed as planned, because my train to Strasbourg  was cancelled and I had to go through Paris instead.I presume, that the still active trip for Day1 is the cause of my problem. When I want to delete the trip for Day1 under My Trips, I get the message “cannot be canceled (kann nicht storniert werden)”What can I do? Since my data are “in the system” I may have the same problem, when buying a new Pass.Thank you      

Hi everyone! In August last year, I bought an interrail pass to go to Sweden. Due to personal reasons, I couldn’t travel in the end so I haven’t used the interrail pass. On my interrail app, the pass appears as “associated with a trip - august 2025” but I haven’t activated it yet. This pass is still working until June 2026 so I would like to use it in April. Do you know if and how I can associate my pass with a new trip to make sure I can use it? I don’t want to click on “activate the pass” but then don’t know how to change the trip and be sure I can use it in April. Thank you so much for your help! Best, Julie

Is there a protection fee available on a global promo pass?

I used to have a ymail account but tried to delete it all after the data breach. I bought a new pass with a new email address and despite deleting app when I reinstall it has all the data that should have been deleted. I log out and log back in with the email address I bought the pass with but it never sends the code I need to add the pass. It’s a dog’s dinner of a mess.

Je dois me rendre au Portugal avec mon chien. Je ne peux pas réserver des billets sur la compagnie utilisée, parce qu’ils me renvoient directement à interrail. Je ne sais pas où réserver mon billet. Je trouve ça légèrement compliqué, parce qu’on nous dit d’appeler, mais une fois qu’on appelle on nous renvoie ailleurs. Et je ne comprends pas non plus pourquoi je ne peux juste pas isoler un billet pour mon animal, surtout qu’elle va être dans une caisse. 

Bonjour, j'ai gagné un pass interrail mais ne connaissant personne disposer à en prendre un savez vous où est ce que je peux trouver des gens qui voudrait voyager avec moi afin de faire des rencontres.Je partirai au moins d'août vers le 10 et je souhaiterais faire vienne de sûr puis peut-être les pays bas ou l'Italie ou l'Allemagne. Si cela intéresse qqun Elisa :)

I'm just getting confused reading all the advice, and some people elsewhere saying reservations are compulsory (via PKP) even when the interrail app says theyre 'optional' or just 'recommended'. I want to just activate my day and add short trips today in the rail planner app as I city hop. Apologies for repeating questions, Im just confused, unfortunatelty the conductor here has no English to guide me. 

Just - and possibly a daft question - but I am &st time user. After you activate the Pass, and you have all the trips on “My Trip”, Do I then find the QR Code for each leg of a total voyage for the Inspector? Or do I have to do someting else. Just want to get this right. Many Thanks

Hello!Traveling 3/28/2026 - 4/4/2026 Starting from Frankfurt to Geneva Switzerland. Would like to do a scenic route along the Rhine River (would that be a Regional Train?) but I don’t know if a Eurail Pass covers that. What do I need to know about crossing into Switzerland? Do I need to go through customs?Do I need to get any other passes for Germany or Switzerland that would make traveling easier. What about passes for taxis?Thank you for your help.  

I activated 1' class global pass. Can i acess to lounge Without reservation of ticket or confirmed ticket in pass? Now i just reached uk. Tq

I am trying to make seat reservation from Munich to Bologna on the 18th july. Due to construction work between Brenner and Innsbruck,  that is not easy. 1) There is a connection at 08:06 and  08:28 where I can only reserve seats for part of the journey. Is that because you don't need seat reservations for RJ113 and R 3843? And I guess the S3 is a lokal train or replacement bus, where seat reservation is not needed? 2) For the connection at 08:52 through Zürich, it is quite expensive. I am used to the 13 euro reservations with the italian trains, but why does the EC 21 cost 13 euro per seat as well? Any suggestions for my travel to Bologna, where I need to be before 22.00 same night. Best regards Karina 

Wie kan ons helpen? We proberen nu een rit te reserveren op 10 augustus van Narbonne (Frankrijk) naar Palencia (Spanje), waarbij we de overstap in Madrid wat ruimer willen maken dan de rechtstreekse verbinding. Het liefst nu omdat we dan niet de hoofdprijs hoeven te betalen en we dan nog plek hebben voor 4.Dus 10.36 vertrek in Narbonne ; Aankomst Madrid 16.18Vertrek Madrid 18.51; Aankomst Palencia 20.18Maar we krijgen hier de melding dat we pas 90 dagen voor 10 aug kunnen boeken, alternatief is raileurope maar daar moet je met een credit kaart betalen en die hebben we niet, of boeken bij de Spaanse spoorwegen en dan binnen 3 dagen ophalen op een Spaans station..We zien dus duidelijk iets over het hoofd, maar wat? Wie kan ons vertellen hoe het wel moet.
