Hello I'm trying to reserve our seat from Berlin to Amsterdam on May 25, 2022 around 10:38 AM either direct or 1 change over. However, the reservation site states I have to find another connection??? Is it too early to reserve train seats right now? Thanks for looking!

Can we take return trains in one day?Ex: Morning go to Venice from Florence and get back to Florence in the evening?

Dear community,my partner and I would like to travel with Interrail, but we have different nationalities (French and German, respectively). For this reason, I would like to understand better what 'travelling in your home country' means so we can plan our route.Suppose we take a train from, say, Gèneve (Switzerland) to Barcelona (Spain). This is doable in a single day, with at least one change of trains in e.g. Lyon (France).1) Does this count as 'travelling in my home country', or is transit permissible?2) If it does, does it count as an inbound AND an outbound journey?3) (Assuming it does count) If there was a direct train instead, would this count, too?It would be great if someone could help clarify this.

Hello,I have a 2nd class Interrail pass and was wondering how I would go along with reserving a 1st class ticket on the Glacier Express. On their website the reservations is the same price as the 2nd class reservation (CHF49). 

hi, i would need help for my onward connection to final destination (Munich).  My initially booked reservation from London 1104am to Midi Brussels 205pm (Eurostar ES9126) Midi Brussels 225pm to Cologne 405pm (ICE17) - booked via DB Cologne to Dusseldorf (RE26879) Dusseldorf 1127pm to Munich 24th Mar 603am (ICE 619)  - booked via DBHowever, now that i missed my train and got rebook onto next train leaving London at 304pm and arriving Midi Brussles at 605pm. Is there a possibility that i can be taking the trains shown in the photo without having to pay for any extra fees? Also this would mean that my reservation fee for ICE17 will be wasted ? Lastly, any tips on how early should i be arriving at the train station for trains in Germany & Paris ? 

I realize the the train ticket (bar code) only appears on my phone. Question, can I plan my trips on my tablet then load the planned trip on my phone to get train ticket (bar code)

Hi there,I´m planning a multistop trip from Spain to Germany. I´ve already bought a Pass, and could make all reservations except for one, from Hendaye to Paris with a TGV. For that connection I find: “ No price results were found for this connection. Please try searching again or find an alternative way to book”. The problem is, I cannot find any other alternative way to book the reservation, at least not a reasonable. I called today to SNCF, and they explicitely told me, it is not possible to buy seat reservations online, and also not at the phone. They said I must come to a french train station… which I can´t really believe…I won´t be in france until exactly the day of beginning my journey, and the missing seat reservation is for the first train I would need…. so it would be really risky to wait until minutes before departure to go in person to the service at the station and ask for buying the seat reservation. That is really risky. If that doesn´t work, I lost the following connecti

Hi!I would like to know the difference between these two global pass : 15 days within 2 months, and 15 days. If I’m only travelling for 3 weeks but need 15 days of travelling, what should i buy ? Thank you!!!

Hello, I am trying to book a Night Train from Nice to Paris, when I select the train it says “Seat availability unknown” and it doesn’t let me finish the purchase. What does it mean? How can I book it?

Hello, my girlfriend and I are planning a trip of 2 months through Turkey, Greece and Italy. We plan to start our trip in Istanbul and travel through Turkey with an Interrail Global Pass. After staying in Istanbul we want to go to Ankara and from there we are planning to travel to Izmir. But we can't figure out if Interrail allows us to travel from Ankara to Izmir by train using our Global Pass. According to interrail.eu you can travel from Ankara to Izmir making use of the night train which will take 15 hours and 20 minutes. But when I try to find the route in the Rail Planner app on my phone, it says "We couldn't find any stations matching Izmir in our timetable". Does that mean that there is no possibility to travel from Ankara to Izmir by train using Interrail? Or is there an alternative?

Hello,  I live in Switzerland, near Basel. It is very easy for me to go to the station “Basel, Bad. Bh.” which is in Germany. If I want to go to Berlin and other cities in Germany in one month, is it possible for me to buy a one-country ticket for Germany? Or do I need to pay a ticket for multiple countries (since Basel, Bad. Bh. might not be included to the stations that can be used for the interrail ticket)? And can a one-country ticket be used for all local trains in Germany (= not just the big cities as shown on the map of your website)? For example with city busses? Best regards and thank you!

 If I was to buy a 3 month pass today and do I activate it daily or it just a straight 3 months then it expires , hope that makes sense

Dear all  This Saturday I am planning to go from Lille (France) to Barcelona (Spain) with my interrail pass. There is a change of trains in Lyon. For Lille-Lyon I can make my reservations for seats online, for Lyon-Barcelona I cannot - this needs to happen by post 6 days prior to departure (for which I am too late) or in a station. I live in Belgium, and here the local railway service (NMBS) does not provide seat reservation for trains to Barcelona (I really don’t understand why??). My solution is to go on Saturday to Lille (France) early enough and hope that it still will be possible to make reservations for my train from Lyon to Barcelona on that same day. Is there anyone who knows if this is possible? And whether I can check prior to departure whether there are still enough places free?Thank you in advance! Karel 

I recently bought two global pass 4day tickets and am trying to make reservations for the eurostar from london to bruxelles-midi. The website I am trying to order these seat reservations on asks for a Pass-Cover-Number. Where do I find this number if I do not possess a Paper-Ticket? I would be very thankful for a fast response Update: Thanks for the help - problem solved!

Hi, I’ve booked the trip on the app London St Pancras 08:16 to Amsterdam Central 13:11 (direct) on 13 June 22, but when I go to the Interrail website to book seat reservations, this particular train is not showing. I can see earlier or later trains (none of which are direct) - why would this be, and how can I book seat reservations on this Eurostar train? Thanks

Hi, I’m from the UK and I’m about to start planning my trip, I was just wondering if you’re allowed to travel from London to France with the interrail pass being from the uk or do you need to start in Europe already?And if I’m able to start in London how do you go about taking the train to get to London? Is there an additional charge for taking two inbound trains?

Hi, I‘m currently in Carcasonne.As my next step I want to go to Barcelona, which is possible via a train from Narbonne. Problem is, the reservation for it costs 34€.My question is if it possible to get in the train without a reservation, it‘s a Tgv and it would be no problem for me to not have a seat during the ride.So if i show them just my interrail app with this trip, would this be enough, or do you HAVE to pay for the reservation.Thanks for the answer :)

Hello fellow interrailers.Me and my boyfriend both won interrail passes through the discover eu competition, and we are traveling as a group. I got my pass before him, and added a journey in the app,  a Nightjet train from Muenchen HBF to Roma Termini on 13th of June, with OEBBs NJ 295 train. We bought tickets for a sleeper cabin as well. Now when my boyfriend tries to add this journey to his travel plans in the rail planner app, it does not show up. Another similar OEBB train does, but it has a change of trains in Villach HBF and the train number is NJ 40295, and then in Villach it changes to train NJ 40233. The tickets we bought, and the journey that still shows up in my app, does not have any changes. Is it the same train? Does our train not show up because it is fully booked? What should we do?  PLEASE help us. Kindest RegardsMira

Hello, please help. I have a problem with outbound/inbound. I travel from Germany to France (Cottbus-Berlin-Mannheim-Paris) and for this travel I need two travel days and one Outbound and also Inbound. Now I don’t have a Inbound for travel back home because my travel to France needs 2 days. What can I do??

Hi, I have a question regarding my interrail pass. I read somewhere that I can only use the pass to travel by train 7 days during my travel experience. Is this true? For example, my whole journey is 10 days long, and during these 10 days I can only use my pass to travel 7 different days. Thank you so much! I am desperate because i wanted to travel mostly at night, but thus I’ll use 2 days at a time…  EDIT: I won the pass with DiscoverEU

We are planning our Interrail route for June this year, but neither the Interrail app nor Deutsche Bahn seem to have these in their schedules yet. Our trip is only three months away - anyone know when they’ll go online / how else we can book these reservations?
