Non riesco a pagare supplemento obbligatorio del treno

I have activated a rail pass and want to get to Brussels from Marmande in SW France. The trip involves Eurostar from Paris to Brussels.  I could find seat reservations in the Interrail app. It referred me to https://www.b-europe.com/EN/Booking/PassI went on there and booked a seat on a Eurostar for €31 and have received confirmation of that. However I can’t now find the particular train (17:55 from Paris) on the Interrail app. Any advice - what should I do 

I have a 5 days pass in one month, and how does it count?Like in hours? does it mean i can travel 120 hours in one month? Or like 5 whole days? Does it matter if it's less than 120 hours, but it spans five days? I don't travel the whole time, so does it count as a whole day anyway? If i travel in the morning, til the afternoon like 5pm, does it mean that i have already used up one day, or only those hours I had just been on the way? Thank you for your answers.

We will be making our first trip in September 2026.  Currently planning on visits to London, Paris, Venice and Rome (with a Greek Isle cruise  between the visits to Venice and Rome) in that order.  Several questions; How far in advance can a pass be purchased?We will probably need a Global Pass (but that’s a guess), and the trip will be four weeks. When does the “clock start” on a pass?  At first use?How far in advance can reservations for specific trains be made?Are any of the trips between cities overnight? We are early risers so an early morning train is not a problem for us.We will be traveling with 3 fairly large bags, are they checked when boarding? Those may be silly questions, but we know nothing about the rail system and do not know anyone locally with experience.Thanks,

Does the Eurail Global Pass cover the NightJet train for couchette from Italy to Munich Germany

Later this year I will be going from Switzerland to Italy on a relatively flexible schedule.  Because of handy clock face times I can spend shorter or longer times in the connecting city.But . . . reservations are mandatory on the Zurich-Milan and Milan-Rome legs . . . and this somewhat takes away from the flexibility.For example, I arrive into Zurich at (say) 09:05 and should be able to get the next train to Milan at (say) 09:25.  The same goes for the second leg - I get into Milan at (say) 12:30 and should be able to get the 12:50 to Rome.  Those specific times are made up, but the 20-25 minute connections are more or less accurate.Because I have to buy reservations, I either have to gamble on my 1st train arriving on schedule or book the train an hour later.  The same goes for the 2nd train.  I can gamble on the connection or book the train an hour later.Short version - if I reserve the short connections and miss one because of a delay is it possible to be rebooked on the next train

Hey,we have issues concerning the connection between Amsterdam and Copenhagen on the 3rd of August. We are currently only finding connections with at least 7 changes and we know that there are direct connections from Hamburg to Copenhagen on other days as well as quite good connections from Amsterdam to Copenhagen with only changes in Hannover and Hamburg. We don’t understand why this connection is so difficult on that day and why there are no direct connections on that Sunday from Hamburg to Copenhagen. Can somebody tell us the reason for that?And does someone maybe know any good connections? We’re from Germany so we know, that Deutsche Bahn is not really reliable. That’s why we are searching for connections with a fair amount of layover but that are still manageable in a day. We are also open to overnight connections from Saturday to Sunday, as long as the last major connection starts on Saturday so we only need one Travelday. Thank you very much for your help!

Hello, I noticed from the Interail rewards that there is access to some of the OBB lounges.  The one I’m interested in using is at Innsbruck as our train is cancelled and a bus replacement service is in place.  That’s all good but there is an hours wait and just wanted confirmation that we can use the lounge even if we don’t have an OBB ticket.  Has anyone used it with just the Interail/Eurail pass? Many thanks 

Trying to book my next part of my trip from Split to Dubrovnik but unsure on how to book it because you can’t get the train?

Can I exchange my 5-day interrail ticket for a 4-day interrail ticket? And if I exchange it, will I lose all my reservations? 

Hi travelers, Looking for great deals/offers in Spain or other countries to enjoy nature, hiking, relaxation and zero stress with my wife. She still works so we are looking for 2 o 3 day's trips that can be fun with a perfect budget to continue traveling more often. Your input and knowledge can be helpful to us so we can plan accordingly and have as many mini vacations as we can to fit our budget...we keep traveling and seeing new great places! Thank you,  Carlos Arcila

I have bought an Inter Rail pass to use in mainland Europe in September.When buying the pass, I selected United Kingdom as my country of residence as I am from and still live in Northern Ireland.I just activated my pass and note that beside “Residence” it says “Great Britain”.I am going to travel with my Irish passport.Will this be an issue? Should I have selected Ireland? If I have my driving licence would that be sufficient to prove UK residency if asked on the trains? Is there a way to change the CoR on my pass from United Kingdom to Ireland if needed to avoid any hassle with this?Thanks 

Anyone else having trouble booking Seat reservation between nyborg denmark and hamburg hbf? I’n doing it 2 days in advance, is that too late already?

Hi, everyone! I’m about to leave for Austria for a 6-day vacation and since I want to make sure to do everything right I was wondering: if all the trains I have to take have the green “reservation is not needed” label does that mean that the order confirmation is proof enough for the conductor? Or am I missing something? I don’t seem to be able to find any bar code or similar.Thanks!

Two people with 2nd class Interrail global passes want to travel on a SJ night train.Among the sleeper options shown on the SJ website, some are referred to as 2nd class and some others as 1st class (e.g. a private sleeper compartment for two people).After inserting both passes’ codes, any option seems to be bookable, both 2nd and 1st class.Replies given in a previous topic stated that even 2nd class pass holders were entitled to book a private compartment, but it was shown as 2nd class in that case.I just want to make sure that 2nd class pass holders are entitled to book a private compartment on SJ night trains when it is classified as 1st class.    

Hey all! I'm figuring out which Interrail pass to buy and I'm doubting between a Global Pass for 5 days or for 7 days. Is it possible to now choose for 5 days, and to 'upgrade' that later (either before using the first travel day or even after using the first travel day) to 7 days? Pr is that a decision I have to made before buying the ticket? Thanks a lot in advance! 

I’ve just bought 4 passes for my family to travel to UK, Germany, Austria, Italy and France for xmas.  How far in advance can we book tickets?  they already seem to be available on the countries train websites but note on Eurail?

Hello,Just wondering if anyone has visited various places and not pre-booked their train tickets?How did that go? Did you find a seat?Do sleeper trains require pre-booking? TIA

Hi! I hope to travel by Glacier Express from Zermatt to St. Moritz on 12 SEP (2nd class pass).I realized that there are no left seats for this day, whereas for next days of July there is plenty, sometimes 2-3, sometimes even 15 or more. That’s kind of weird. Do you know any real answers why is that? Is the Glacier Express team releasing seats week by week or what? July should be more demanding month than the middle of September. Is there any real chance of catching a reservation for my travel day in September? What do you think? I know that I can travel whole route using regional trains without reservations (that’s my only altrenative), but I need to get to Tirano and the last train departs St. Mortiz by 16:48, so I'm more inclined to take the Glacier Express and avoid stressful transfers on regional trains. Many thanks for any help.Mateusz,  17/07/2025 24/07/202512/09/2025 - my travel day 

Hi, I have planned a two-week trip to Northern Italy from Paris starting tomorrow. However, I have a problem with my last train reservation, to return from Milan to Paris, on the 28th of July. Indeed,  I can’t achieve the seat booking because, as it is written on the app, “the route is expected to be added to the network in mid-summer”. I thought the end of July was at least mid-summer… May my reservation be available for this day ?

Hello! I am travelling from Barcelona Sants to Marseille St Charles on the 11th of July. There is only 1 direct train that leaves at 4:34pm. Today my partner and I went to the Barcelona Sants station to book seat reservations. The lady booked our reservations for us but afterwards we realised she booked us first class seat reservations. As we have a 3 month Eurrail pass that is only second class, we went back to check if this was correct. We spoke to the original lady and another person who spoke more English who assured us that it didn’t matter and that second class reservations were sold out anyway. if we travel using the second class pass and the first class seat reservations, will we be fined for travelling without a valid ticket? We want to do the right thing but are not sure as the staff we spoke to seem to say it will be fine but everything I have read online says otherwise.  

Hey!My name is Louis, I’m 19 years old and I’m living in Switzerland. I've always wanted to go on an Interrail trip. Now I have almost the whole august free and I think it would be a good idea. I speak German, English and also a little French.I don't have any specific travel plans yet, but I would like to see England and Ireland. I'm also interested in Scandinavia. But if you have any other ideas, I'm open. As I just mentioned, I have the whole of August at my disposal and am very flexibleIf you are interested or if you have any questions, feel free to contact me.😊You can contact me on Instagram @lou.wim

Good morning, We, as a family of three, will travel from Pontresina via Tirano, to Como in August this summer. From Tirano to Lecco there will be a bus instead of a train as a replacement during track maintenance. Does anyone here have recent experience with this  bus? We think it will be very busy, so we are a little worried about traveling by this bus with our group of 3 with our luggage. Thank you in advance.
