Hi, 2 adults and 2 children with 15 in 2 months Global Interrail passes, we have everything set up in the app, everything activated and all tickets created.Our journeys start this week coming on 29/7/26.  I have read that we should wait until the day to activate.  I am concerned that we should now deactivate and reactivate on the morning of travel. But with children to sort out in the morning, we don’t want have to create more work on the day!! We would prefer to keep it activated (if our plans change we cannot travel later in the year).  Is it ok to activate now? Are there other reasons why we should not activate now?  As we have all the journey days activated and all tickets ready, can we change them after activation? Say if we want to change ne of the trains or travel days in late August, can we do so nearer the time? Or does the fact we had created the ticket when the validity started mean that we cannot then change?  Can I please ask what activation sets in stone? Is it that you h

Hello everyone, I need some help because I was due to go away in July using my travel pass, but due to a family issue I wasn’t able to go. So I haven’t used my pass. Does anyone know if there’s a way I could, as a one-off, change the date to August?

How many days of my pass is used by making my outbound journey in UK:  Drem to Edinburghovernight Edinburgh to London(Next day) Eurostar London to Paris?

Good morning everyone, we have a problem with our direct train from Wien to Krakow. We booked it 4 months ago (only the seat reservation), so we expected something could change, but here it's the interesting part.This ÖBB direct train (16.10 --> 21 24) seems to be cancelled, however the same train operator seems to provide the same train (because the code is the same, EC202) but with a different itinerary, which arrive at Krakow Plaszow instead of Krakow Glowny (16.10 --> 21.47). Therefore, we searched it on our Rail Planner App, but unfortunately we dind't find it and, at its place, we found a train with the same train code (EC202), with the same depart time, but with a different itinerary from the one provided by ÖBB, which arrive in a polish city really far from Krakow.What should we do? Our previous seat reservation can still be used, considering that the code is always the same? And which timetables or itinerary should we rely on? I assume the ÖBB one is more reliable, but h

When I try to book seats for St Pancras to Narbonne I found a very cheap seat but when I tried to pay the cost changes and increases. I also tried to book another seat on another train and that train has no seats available even though it was showing availability.  here are 2 screenshots of the 2 seats I have tried to book. Can I get an explanation as to why this is happening? Thank you     

Salve, dal 16 al 31/8/26 vorrei raggiungere Lourdes da Roma e ritornare.Qualche consiglio? Vorrei dormi re sempre in treno per risparmiare e non fare i cambi treno di notte o comunque con buio.…Grazie!

Hello, I’m based in London and would love to travel to Italy (Bologna) by train, but the journey length and cost seem daunting and I keep putting it off each year.I currently have a 4-day Interrail pass that expires in November but can get a refund if I don’t use it.  At this stage, I’d need to pay at least £100 in seat reservations on top of the cost of the pass, plus one extra night’s stopover accommodation each way (I have insomnia so would prefer not to take the overnight train).The length of the journey also seems daunting.  Last year I travelled from London to Aix-en-Provence by Eurostar+TGV and loved the journey - the scenery was beautiful - but it only took one day so it felt manageable.  I would want to split the Italy journey into two days.My friends and family say I should just take a plane (I haven’t flown for 9 years) but I am worried about climate change.I’m stuck in a rut and would be grateful for any advice please.  Many thanks in advance!

I have made seat reservations for me and my partner in my own account. These reservations are visible in the app on my phone. Is it possible to make the reservations that are on my partner's name visible in his own app?

I’m planning a rail trip to Tuscany with my wife. We are both seniors. Leaving from Newcastle. We plan to break the journey and stay somewhere like Arles for a night or two then onto Lucca. We plan on staying in Lucca for a week or so. Then onto Como for a short stay. We will be visiting Belgium to make a trip to see the Menin Gate memorial. Any advice would be welcome.Thank you.

Hello. My wife and I are staying in Bellinzona, Switzerland for five nights and doing day trips from there. But wondering if we should cut it short a day or to see areas not close enough for day trips in Switzerland? I'm seeing a lot of scenic train trips, as well as lake cruises that we can use with the Eurail pass, knowing that some of them are only discounted. We have four days of our Eurail pass that have not been booked. Thanks

Hi, I am trying to book a reservation. It is 2 ICE and a Nightjet. I can't seem to find how to reservate it. It gives warnings. '’One or more Passes cannot be used for this journey. Please select the travellers with valid Passes for this journey in order to book seats.'’ How can I reservate? Also if I go to the Nightjet website directly it also says it is not possible to book the journey but no information about if it is fully booked or anything. Has anyone als had this before? It is my first time interrail and it feels like a maze.You would think that the 28th is a bit afther the holidays for everyone so should be fine.. I don't know what to do. 

Hey! 😊Is anyone interested in going Interrailing in August? I haven’t decided exactly which countries to visit yet, and I live in Sweden. It would be fun to have someone join me! 🚆🌍

Hello everyone! I was hoping someone here on this community could assist me with my problem. When I activated my Interrail pass, I think I must’ve forgotten to add a specific start date. Yesterday I wanted to book a train and realized my validity period was set from the beginning of July to August. The problem is I won’t be starting my journey till the middle of August. Is there any way I can change my date, or request a compensation? In my app it says that it’s not possible to change the travel period anymore, but I mean I haven’t used any travel dates at all, so my pass would just expire without being used any time. I would be extremely grateful for any help with my situation. Thank you!!

I have been trying to reserve a seat on any (high speed) train from Amsterdam to Paris-Nord, but on none of the trains scheduled on that day it seems possible to reserve a seat. The following warning appears when I try to reserve a seat:“Er zijn geen prijsresultaten gevonden. Plaatsen voor Pashouders kunnen voor deze verbinding uitverkocht zijn, maar er zijn andere manieren om te kijken of er nog plaatsen beschikbaar zijn. Meer informatie vind je onder onze dienstregeling.”Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks a lot in advance! 

Any feedback as to how the new Schengen rules affect crossing borders by rail when travelling on a UK passport. After entering the Schengen area and lodging fingerprints etc we are led to understand that some other Schengen area countries still want to check biometrics when you cross their border from the first Schengen country. How does it work in reality?

I am travelling in October with Ave international Montpellier - Madrid. I have read that I can get seat reservations on 3 sites; (Interrail, Happyrail and Raileurope).  But what site is recommended? I am travelling with 2 people and I have an interrail global pass 2nd class.

Please excuse my lack of knowledge but I'm new to thisI purchased 2 global passes (7days) and my question is can I simply add reservations and tickets I have purchased from both this site and Rail Europe to the pass before leaving for the trip in September 

Hi everyone!I’m looking for advice on the best route to travel from Luxembourg to Frankfurt on August 24th using a 1st Class Interrail Pass, aiming to avoid mandatory seat reservations (or keep extra costs to 0€).So far, the best option I've found is this one: 09:21 Luxembourg ➔ Trier (10:21) | Replacement Bus 10:41 Trier ➔ Koblenz (12:36) | RegionalBahn (RB) 12:56 Koblenz ➔ Frankfurt Main Hbf (14:21) | ICE As far as I know, this route requires 0 € in seat reservations (since ICE trains within Germany don't require mandatory reservations, and RB/buses don't either).A couple of questions for those familiar with the area: Is this indeed the best connection, or is there a faster, more scenic, or more reliable alternative? Are 20-minute connection times in Trier and Koblenz safe enough considering potential replacement bus delays or DB connections? Thanks a lot for any tips or recommendations!

traveling Barcelona Sants to Vilafranca del penedesNone of the stations on the Rodalies R4 line appear in the search function.The "Add journey manually" option is also missing.As a result, you cannot add the journey to your Mobile Pass.Rail Planner version 52.3.0 on iPhone

I have tried several times to make a seat reservation on different devices and after I changed my cookie settings. Every time I get a error saying: something went wrong… I am kind of out of hope and not sure how to solve this problem, I already did everything the help page told me to, so I hope one of you could help me out, thanks in regard.

my travel is from the 17th to the 21th of August,i don’t understand why the pass of Firenze-Pistoia on the outward trip and the passes of Pistoia-Firenze and Bari-Lecce are not on the schedine,maybe because they are regional trains?How do they work,are they still free?What do we need to do to have a ticket for these trains? 

Hello! My friend and I want to travel from Berlin Lichtenberg to Norrköping Central on Friday (24th July) with the night train. We have a seat reservation (booked via Interrail) for a connection that starts at 7:05 pm in Berlin Lichtenberg and ends at 08:24 am in Norrköping Central. But we cannot find a train with this timetable anymore. The only train we can find starts at 5:41 pm in Berlin Lichtenberg and arrives Norrköping Central at 09:45 am. Both of them are the trains EN344. Does our seat reservation change to the train with the new timetable? Can we just get onto the new train or do we have to do something?
