When I consult the Eurail planner app, for example, Narbonne-Carcassonne on June 28, 2025, at 7:11 a.m., no reservation is required. However, when I add it to my trip, only when I enter the specific trip, a required reservation appears, starting at €1.70, even though I'm booking a TER. Should I make a reservation in these cases?I bought a global pass.    

Hi. I’m using 8 days of a 10 day in 2 month pass to travel from the UK to Turkey. Then I’m flying back. Before the 2 months expire I’d like to fly to somewhere served by a budget airline and travel back to London, UK. I’d be interested to hear any suggestions or routes people have followed. Ideally 6 hours or so on the train each day. Thanks.

I’m trying to make seat reservations via the oebb website and no matter which date I use the website tells me NO SEATS AVAILABLE. Is there any other way to reserve a seat?

Hi! I’m on a bike touring trip and I’m trying to get myself home from Verona (Italy) towards Sweden by train with my interrail card, since I don’t have enough time to bike the whole way back. All of the reserved bike spots on the direct trains to Munich are fully booked for the foreseeable future so I ended up buying tickets for the S-Bahn 3 train from Brennerero-Innsbruck and the regional express and local train from Innsbruck-Munich. I payed for a ”bicycle ticket” but it also says ”if there is enough space, you may take your bike on board on the train”.   Does this mean that I might not get to bring my bike on the train even if I booked a bicycle ticket in advance? Does anyone have experience with these tickets on ÖBB? Also, if anyone has experience with bringing bikes on the regional trains in Italy or Germany I would appreciate your input. Going with DB from Munich to northern Germany doesn’t seem possible, the bike spots are all fully booked.

Hi Everyone,Feeling a bit apprehensive!I booked a2 x 1st class seat reservations on a 17:09 Paris Montparnasse1 et 2 (TGV INOUI 8477) to Bordeaux departing at 17:09 and arriving at 19:17. I booked this via the Interrail EU website using the seat reservation tab.Last evening I went into my App to check all the times of the train tickets and noticed the ticket was issued for a train departing at 17:16 and arriving at 20:14. I was able to manually enter the 17:09 Paris Montparnasse1 et 2 (TGV INOUI 8477) to Bordeaux departing at 17:09 that fits with the seat reservation and generate a ticket. However I am now wondering which is the correct train time and is there a train departing Paris Montparnasse at 17:09 and arriving into Bordeaux at 19:17.Also if you have made seat reservations on the website why aren’t these copied into the ticket issued?Appreciate your help as this is one of several trips where the same thing has occurred.

We were getting a bus replacement for a train from Valencia del Norte to Zaragoza Delicias. When the ticket inspector looked at our interrail tickets she kept saying ‘no this is just your interrail ticket’. after a phone call she let us on. we were wondering if we still had to get an actual ticket with our interrail pass in the train station. thankyou

Hi. My partner and I have planned to travel from Budapest to Ljubljana on July 26th, 2025. We've been trying for a while now to reserve seat tickets for the 9 a.m. departure from Budapest. But everywhere we've looked, it's not possible to reserve seats... Does anyone know why that is or how we can get it done?

Hi, I want to travel from Vienna to Trieste in July. Interail site says ‘No price results were found. Pass holder reservations may be sold out for this connection.’ I looked on the OBB website and it lets me buy supplements for that train but there is no seat reservation included. If I tick the ‘seat reservation’ box it says that the train is all booked up. Question – Does this mean that all seats for interail pass holders are sold out and if I just buy supplements will we be standing? Presume I can still buy tickets if I pay full price? odd that they let me purchase supplements if no seats were available!Thank you in advance!

¡Hola! ayuda, por favor! Quiero viajar desde Roma a Zagreb en tren nocturno, a partir de las 20.10, y con cambio de tren a las 22.35; y luego a las 6.25 del día siguiente.

Hi, I‘m planning to use my 7-day global ticket for a trip from Germany (my home country) to Austria soon, where I would use my outbound and my inbound day.Two weeks after that, I‘m planning another trip where I will be solely traveling outside of my home country.Can I do that or does my pass expire automatically after I have used both „home country days“ regardless if I have travel days left?Thank you and kind regardsFabi

Hello everyone,I am planning to travel to Italy in August, and I have several train journeys that require seat reservations. However, I am encountering some issues and would appreciate any advice.My planned trips are: 8th August: Milan to Venice 10th August: Venice to Milan 13th August: Milan to Brig The timetable for the Milan to Venice route keeps changing—sometimes there is a direct train available, and sometimes not.Additionally, when I try to make seat reservations through ÖBB applying a discount (Eurail Pass), I keep getting a message saying "ticket not available."Does anyone know why this might be happening or how I can resolve it? Thank you very much for your help!

Me and 3 friends are hopefully going to take an interrailing trip next year in July, and I am wondering if this route would be good or not or if anyone can help me make some adjustments. The plan would be to fly across to Brussels from the UK on the 6th of July 2026, and spend 2 nights there before heading off to Amsterdam on the 8th, then after spending 1 night there head to Berlin on the 9th and spend 2 nights there, then to Warsaw on the 11th and spend 1 night there, after that heading to Prague on the 12th to spend 2 nights there (taking a sleeper train between Warsaw and Prague possibly), then heading to Bratislava on the 15th and spending 2 nights there, after that going to Graz on the 17th and staying 1 night, then Venice on the 18th and spending 3 nights there, after that traveling to Nice on the 21st and staying 1 night there, then finally going to Paris on the 22nd and spending 3 nights there before heading back to the UK on the 25th. If anyone could suggest some adjustments,

Ich will am 20 Juni nach Paris und habe mir das interrail Ticket gekauft  und ich wollte fragen ob man den Qr Code kriegt am Tag der Abreise 

Hi all, We’re travelling from San Sebastian to Madrid at the end of July - when I input SS to Madrid into the interrail seat reservation query, it takes me via Valladolid and on to Madrid-Chamartin - the first leg of which to Valladolid can be booked online, the second leg of which can’t be (says it has to be booked at a train station in Spain).However, I realised that the first train to Valladolid actually terminates in Madrid-Principe Pio - so then if I specify Madrid Principe Pio in the search engine, I can get all the way to Madrid direct (on a very slow train!) and can book seat reservations for the whole journey.My question is - is there a reason why it didn’t just send me to Principe Pio in the first place? Can anyone recommend a better (faster) way to get between SS and Madrid, and if so, what’s the best way to book seat reservations if they can’t be done online? Thanks, ‘Helen  

Hi, I want to book the sleeper from Cerbere to Paris in August, for me, my husband and my son. On Seat 61, he says that if you want the whole compartment to yourself you can add and pay for phantom children. I just wanted to check - is it really ok to do this? I’ve had a look at booking on trainline (without using the interrail pass) and I can’t seem to find the option to just book the whole compartment (because there’s only 3 of us I think?) so I’m considering booking the non-existent kids! So my questions are: Can I book WITH the pass and add phantom children (or can I not do this because the ‘phantom children’ won’t have a pass? Or should I just book without the pass and add the phantom children?? I’ve promised my son a sleeper train at some point in the holiday otherwise I would maybe avoid it! Thanks everyone :-)

Hi, anyone struggling to reserve seats from Strasbourg to Salzburg on the 12th June 21:18?NJ468 Night jet Direction Paris Est Not sure what to do if I miss this train.

Hello everyone, I've been trying for months to book seats for the Berlin-Budapest train on July 20th at 7:28 PM, but it won't let me. Now, this train doesn't even appear anymore; instead, it appears to be one with a transfer. And on the company's official website, it does appear, but it says tickets aren't available for any date (including June, July, August, etc.). Does anyone know why the direct train isn't listed, if there isn't going to be one, or what's going on? Thank you very much.  

I’m thinking of reversing my trip a bit. We fly into Vienna and arrive at 11am. (From the US west coast - long flight.) We’ll need to go through immigration, but we do have Global Entry so hopefully that streamlines things. We also carry on our bags so no need to go to baggage claim. Our plans were to stay in Vienna for 5 nights, then take the train to Prague for 3 nights, then down to Salzburg for 2 nights, then back to a Vienna airport hotel for the last night. I’m wondering if it’s better to land in Vienna and go straight to Salzburg. That way we can add another night there, and end our trip with the 5 nights in Vienna. A little less   moving around. Is it easy to get from the airport to Salzburg? Do we need to take the airport shuttle to the central train station first or is there a train from the airport? I see conflicting info.  If we have to take the bus to the central train station, on a Tuesday would we need to purchase our tickets to Salzburg in advance? Ideally we’d love to

Hello,This summer, I’m going to travel with my daughters from Istanbul to Budapest, visiting Bulgaria and Romania. I’ll be traveling alone with them, without their mother. Do you know if the customs and border control usually ask for a consent letter from their mother to travel? Is it advisable to carry it in several languages, along with the Family Book (Libro de Familia)? I’d like to have everything in order to avoid any issues. Any tips for this route would be greatly appreciated!
