Solved

As an Inter-rail newbie I’m not clear exactly which stations are included in the pass, both in the UK and on the continent and wondered if it’s possible to check prior to purchasing to avoid additional costs later on? The online map only shows the main locations but we’d like to confirm whether other sections of our anticipated trip are included before purchasing the passes!  Specifically Reading to London and Marseille to Toulon. Would be grateful for your help. 

Hi everyone, I was trying to book seat reservations for some UK trips, however, when it comes to this stage (shown on the picture below), the page doesn't refresh when I click the “continue” button. Has any one had the same issues of it’s just me? I did switch to different browsers and it was the same.  

When I buy the 4 days in one month ticket, is it activated since the date of the purchase or does it start with the first day of travel?

I have the interrail pass and travelling to Paris on the weekend. The last train needs seat reservation but I cannot reserve through the app. It says “Pass holder reservation may be sold out”I have everything planned and really cannot cancel my travel! Is there any other way I can get the seat reservation?Thanks!

Hi.  I can only find passes within one country or all 33 countries.  I was looking to buy a pass for two bordering countries.  I thought these used to exist.  Have they been eliminated? Thanks for the help.

Hi,I want to buy the 4 days in one month ticket.I would travel overnight, does it count as one day because the journey is in the frame of 24 hrs or does ist count as two days because it covers two days in the calender?Thanks!Best wishesEllen 

Hi there,I’m taking this trip in july (see previous question) I talked about it to my friends and some are worried that I’m going to spend too much time on the trains, especially in comparison with the time I get to spend ‘not traveling’. I have done several long train journeys, but never that many in 1 trip. Is it too much on the train, moving around to really enjoy the trip?Any thoughts from experienced train-travellers?   

Hey there,might be a stupid question, but it really matters to me.I have a 2 month global pass and in the Railplanner-App it says “Activate this pass by 19th April”. Just to make sure: I can activate it ON the 19th april, right? I dont have to do it UNTIL 19th April?I am a bit nervous about my trip, so I just wanted to make sure not to be 1 Day too late :DThank you very much.P.

Does it matter that I can’t book on the Eurail pass site and therefore can’t see the trips on my pass app? Both times I have booked a night train.The first from Berlin to Budapest we had to have a seat reservation and booked it through OBB using our pass details. Then the second, from Amsterdam to Zurich, showed it was available and included but wouldn’t let me choose it to make the seat reservation that was recommended - ie my cart was empty. So I have also booked on OBB. Just wondering if it matters that I can’t book them on my pass. Or if I am doing something wrong/not seeing something obvious in the process.Thanks, any help appreciated!

I have a reservation made on České dráhy on the EC 459 train departing from Basel SBB to Leipzig bhf. I cannot find this train on the interrail planner to add it to my pass. However, the EN 40459 train shows up, which is the same train (different carriages I think). Is there a problem adding the EN40459 to my pass but boarding on the EC 459? Thanks in advance.

I’m travelling from hamburg to copenhagen and i have to transfer in Odense and go to Slagelse. It is written on the app ‘train’ but also ‘BUS6140’ near it. So do i take the bus or the train? 

I’m a student from outside Europe studying abroad (on exchange) in Switzerland for 4 months. I just bought a Global Pass for a trip to Germany but noticed belatedly that I had bought the Interrail pass instead of the Eurail one, probably because I indicated Switzerland as my country of residence. I have not yet received my residence card, but I do have proof of registration at the Resident’s Office here. Seeing as I will likely have to activate my pass on 6/7 Apr (in a few days), I am a bit anxious and would like to seek reassurance that I don’t have to exchange my Interrail pass for an Eurail one. In short, can I use the Interrail pass I bought despite not having a European passport? I really don’t want to get fined.

My daughter is traveling and I’m at home trying to help her. She is in London and needs to get to Barcelona. She has the 15 days in 2 months global pass. We do not understand the app or where she needs to go to get her seat reservations. Can someone make this simple for us and explain it step by step? thank you! 

I saw that some travels need “seat reservation”, how can I make this reservation ?

Hi, I am coming to Italy on 18-April. Have to travel from Florence to Fiumicino airport. My flight is at 10pm. I have time from 10am in the morning at Florence. I thought of exploring Vatican city on the way. I want to drop my luggage in a station (may be Roma termini)  before I can explore the city and collect it later while going to airport. What is the cheap and best option to travel and explore the city?

Buenas noches, alguien me podría decir como puedo mirar la dirección exacta desde donde coger un tren? Por ejemplo, el trayecto Arna - Oslo, como puedo saber la dirección de la estación de tren de Arna donde debo coger el tren?Gracias

Hello travelers! How are you? I am a Brazilian traveler, but, i never use the Eurail Pass. I'm going to travel around some countries in Europe, but in Italy I intend to visit more cities (Venice, Bologna, Modena,...). In that case, can I use the Eurail Pass Global inside Italy? Another question about this. I wanna buy the Eurail Pass Global 22 days. Do these days count even if I don't use it on my trip for a few days? for example I'm going to Italy and spend 3 days there without using my Pass, in this case, do the 3 days count or not?

I spent more than an hour trying to book all the reservations for our trip to Europe in April/May.  I go to check-out and says one reservation is no longer available!!  After an hour?  Okay, but it doesn’t say which.  Frustrating.  I try to click back to see if at any point it tells me which reservation is no longer available,  but no, it does not!   Instead, it empties my cart,I wish I had not purchased the Eurail Pass.  The last time I purchased, back in 2018, it was great.  You could speak to someone, spend time with them booking reservations, etc.  Now you get an email back in two days!!  And the reservation prices are all over the place - much more than they said on website.  Plus, a $5 fee per reservation!  

I am trying to make seat reservations for trains from Paris to Lucerne on 7th May 2023. One leg is Paris Est to Strasbourg (France) on ICE9571 leaving Paris Est at 6:55 am.  Even though it shows up in the search with reservation cost, when I go forward and fill in the passenger details, it fails with “‘One of the legs of your journey is not available anymore” error. I am not able to confirm and pay for the reservation. I have searched for topics in the community (thanks for that, there are a lot of good info available) and when I tried to book directly on the train company website but there also I couldn’t go forward. I am attaching a few screenshots below.1/ What is the best way to move forward? I also have a couple of related question.2/ When I planed the trip on eurail.com (not logged in) it showed USD12.80 as the 2nd class seat reservation fee. But, after logging in, for the same train it shows USD24.00 as the fee. In both the searches I have “Included in Pass” filter selected. Som
