Solved

Hello. Back ion 4th March I bought 4 passes for my husband and myself; we live in the UK. We used two recently (although technically this is still valid until 10th August although it says ‘expired’ and we have used the two outward/inward home journeys so can’t re-use) and so for us, that trip is completed but want to use the next two in September. I am trying to book seat reservations via Eurorail page and it says ‘Some of your passes are not valid on this date’. I have activated the second passes to start on 22 September and I am trying to book for 23rd September. Is the system still seeing the old pass and I will have to wait until it disappears from the system after the 10th August,to book reservations? The two trips have two different names on ‘My trip’ on the App but on the reservations page it is simply shown as a generic ‘My Interrail trip’ and realtes to those bought on 4th March. Any help gratefully received. I thought I had finally mastered the reservations problem having don

I purchased 2 10 day 1st class Flex passes yesterday. Our trip begins in the Netherlands from which we want to travel to Berlin. The time tables are not yet available for when we will be traveling (09-July-2025). But current schedule shows frequent options. Our other intended destinations in order were Cologne, Strasbourg, Bayeux and Paris (we're flying home from CDG). To Cologne looked simple with a train change, but the suggested options had layover times shorter than the suggested needed time to allow for changes. The remaining segments get very complicated, some with multiple transfers. Would I better to change the order of the destinations? If I have to cut a destination it would be Strasbourg. We want to end up in Paris since that is our flight home, arriving at least a day or two before 2-Sept so we can go to Notre Dame since we could not go in 2022 when were there.Appreciate any help and advice.

Can I remove pass from iPhone and added it again? I didn’t fully activate it.

Wondering if I’m calculating my travel days correctly as well as a couple questions about the pass. Plan is to fly into Amsterdam (aug14) stay until the 16th, take a train morning of 16th to Brussels & stay here until 18th. 18th morning train to munich staying until the 20th which then will take a final train to Krakow Poland. Totaling 3 travel days, offering me the 4 day global pass. Curious if trains will be necessary around the city while staying in these towns while sight seeing/exploring and if this will affect my pass usage days? Also curious if I will need the eurail pass from the airport to my part of town when arriving into Amsterdam or better to take local Ubers/cabs? First timer going across the pond so any tips welcome. 

I plan on being in Europe for a total of 34 days. I will be staying about a week in each of 4 cities in the Netherlands, Germany and France and 1 week on a cruise to Norway and Denmark. I calculate this would require 6 travel days from my arrival to departure. If I am reading the tickeing options correctly, the best way for me is to select a Flexi pass for 10 days which would permit up to 4 day trips within the the areas I am staying in addition to the necessary intercity travel. This instead of a continuous pass for 30 or more days.

i have tried to contact customer service to cancel my global pass so many times by phone and by emails. Promised to reply in 24 hours but still waiting response.What on earth can i do?

Hi! We want to go to Portugal by train in may/june. And we are travelling from the Netherlands. I was wondering if anybody did this already and what is the best route. 

Hello We are three girls who are currently planning our interrail trip at the end of spring/beginning of summer 2025. We have bought the interrail pass "2 months free travel" and have chosen 14 destinations that we would like to experience. However, we are in doubt as to which order we should plan in? Do we need to find accommodation first? Or should we look for train times first? We have started to find accommodation, but have encountered a problem. We think it seems unmanageable, as some routes between the cities are long or complicated, and thus we have to spend large parts of the day on the train. We are afraid that we will miss the opportunity to experience the city instead. Do we have too many destinations? Maybe we can "save" a night by taking the night train, but how do we find them?Which way is best if you have to plan an interrail trip from scratch as a first-time interrailer? All advice is welcome. These are our "so far" locations: Berlin - Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Ljubujan

I am hoping to travel in the opposite direction - Bordeaux-Bilbao-San Sebastian, but all routes take me a very long way via Barcelona. The Eurail website advises this is being updated, but wondering if anyone has travel this route successfully? Did you have to book this part of the journey via SNCF website instead?Any help appreciated. Thank you.   

I am purchasing global passes for my family, we are traveling in June. Can I buy them now, and then our start date is just whenever we first use them? Or do I indicate somewhere what our first travel day will be with the passes? 

Hello everyone, when I planned the journey Amsterdam - Brussels - Luxembourg - Paris - Lucern - Chur - Tirano - Milan - Verona - Venice - Vienne, there were 10 segments that are in accordance with 10 travel days, I guest. Why did the Eurail website calculate 11 days of travel?

I’m having trouble with getting on to get your guide link - it’s saying I have to have a valid pass which I do have - can anyone help please 

The train operator’s webpage does not require seat reservations, however eurail shows that it’s required. Why is this? Can I follow the rules from the train operator? Is it mandatory to reserve a seat on Eurail?

Dear interrail community,To be sure:If at one point (before activation) we would decide to annulate our global pass:can get a refund in money or is it in a refund in a kind of Interrail voucher for future Interrail purchases?thanks!Toon

I am traveling 2 days and selected the trains I want to take. They nicely show up in My trip. I did the seat booking through https://www.raileurope.com 1) because the yellow wheel in the interrail app kept spinning and ii) its is cheaper and you have control of the seat. Handy, because I am traveling with a bike.Now I am curious/uncertain whether my trains are actually booked. On certain trains where the booking of seats is mandatory I used the above website. How can I test the generation of a QR code for a travel day. The pass is active from 17 April 2025 and the trains in My trip are for 17 and 18 April. I had a look at the tutorial on YouTube but that is not so useful.

I had heard that from 2025 we may need visa ? Is this correct  Appreciate your help

Can I please check the detail of the ‘travel out’, ‘travel in’ facility of a Global Pass.  Does the Pass only cover for the actual train on which you leave your home country (UK) i.e. the Eurostar or can it include for trains needed to board the Eurostar.  For example, for somebody living in say Nottingham to get to St Pancras International they may be able to get a direct train but if not they would be required to take a train to Grantham or Long Eaton and then a train to St Pancras or Kings Cross respectively.  Would the Pass cover them for the trains to get to St Pancras (and in reverse on returning)?
