Solved

Hi!In August I'm going to make my second interrail journey, and this year I've purchased a first class pass. Now I've started with making some reservations, if they are available. In the ÖBB app, first class reservations were for free on some trains, while second class reservations had a €3 fee. How come first class is free actually?Those free reservations were for the Raljet 67 Wien-Budapest and IC 210 Zagreb-Ljubljana. I have the reservations as PDF ticket.

Hello!I am trying to organise Bucharest-> Istanbul (next week).I checked on the CFR (Romanian train's website) and I see only a very complicated solution (4 changes and it is not possible to book online).Somebody did this route recently and suggest how to do it?Is it possible to get the availability only at the train office in Romania? Is there any night train to avoid so many stop?   Thank you!

HelloI’m super frustrated with the planning process for my trip to Scotland :-/Among other frustrating things about interrail, there is no map available, neither on the website nor on the app (I know there is a map of your trips but only after booking your trip - so not helpful at all). The map on the interrail-website is a road map only, which is a bad joke :-/I tried open railway map, which is helpful if you have a computer or notebook, but it is hard to see where stations are (or not).I also tried the printed/pdf map but again this is not detailed enoughAny help for a good map to use would be highly appreciated.

Hello, we are three people interested in a trip to the Greek islands with Interrail. Our idea was to leave directly from Athena and then go to Paros and spend the night there. From Pros we would then move to Santorini where we will spend two nights. From Santorini then activate Naxo where spending only one night. From Naxo then move to Mykonos where we will spend two nights and then return to Athens, where we have the plane to return to Italy. What type of pass do you recommend?

Hi, I’ve recently bought the global pass for 4 days in 1 month and am planning to go from London to Paris in mid May in a group of 2. We have bought the global passes and bought the seat reservations for our dates that we need from London to Paris and Paris to London through the interrail website. We got the Eurostar train and the tickets have been sent to us via email. What im confused about is that these Eurostar tickets are individual tickets on their own and not linked to the pass? So what exactly is the procedure with both the pass and the ticket? Am i supposed to activate the pass before travelling and when I board the train, I simply need to use just the Eurostar ticket Ive gotten? There doesnt seem to be any link between the ticket and pass I’ve bought. Clarification on the travelling procedure would be much appreciated! Thanks!

I received my confirmation email with pass number but when I try to reserve a seat I get “we don't see any valid travellers attached to trip” & when I try to enter my pass number & surname from email I get “these details don't match” even though I'm sure I entered the right Pass number and name from the email… any tips or is this one for customer services? 

Hey!I am trying to reserve a seat from Amsterdam - Paris (Train: Thalys) for Sunday but it shows it to be “train fully booked” on the eurail website and whenever I try to use the interrail pass. However, on the apps like SNCB and SNCF I am still able to buy tickets for the same journey. Is this possible?

Hello,We are planning a trip from Perpignan in the south of France to Amsterdam  - Odense - Stockholm and have bought a 4day/1month pass for that. Now, because of the frequent train strikes here in France these days, we think we should fly to Amsterdam instead of going by train. We live near the Spanish border, so getting to Barcelona and flying from there would not be a problem.The question is then: Can we still use the pass for the rest of our journey, i.e. for the Amsterdam - Odense - Stockholm part?

Hi, I purchased a eurail pass for my trip travelling throughout Europe for 4 weeks. I thought this would save stress and money however when I arrived for my first train to Paris I was unable to make it on any of the trains and had to purchase a ticket anyway. My question is how can I avoid this happening for other cities where I may possibly be stranded without accommodation. The train company were not affiliated and could not help. There is no personal customer service making me think this pass / company is a total rip off!!

Hi everyone, We are visiting Europe from Canada in June and July 2023. I am booking each part of our journey. So far I’ve reserved seats on the following routes: Barcelona to Paris, Paris to London and London to Brussels. All these routes require a reservation. However, when I try to reserve from Brussels to Amsterdam, no reservations are required so I cannot book anything. I read on another post that this segment has to be added as a journey through the app, but the app is very confusing. I haven’t activated the pass because I read it’s better to do it closer to my trip in case plans change, so when I click on “My Pass” in the app, I can see the pass for each member of my family, but when I click on “My Trip”, it only asks me to create a trip but I cannot see the one I created on my laptop, where I’ve been reserving seats. Am I supposed to activate my passes so that I can see the trip I’ve been working on in my laptop, or will I have to create a new, separate trip on the app? What hap

I already did 2/4 of my pass but its the first time im using a global pass so i didnt know the meaning of the in and out thing. I choose France for residance country but actually it is Belgium. I know you cant change it and you have to ask for a refund. Is that also possible if you have open trips on the pass? I dont know what to do now.

HI all sorry this may have been asked a million times before. I have purchased rail passes for myself and my family. I have created a series of journeys for my trip and added it has registered against my pass. I have then shared my trip to my family and they can see the itinery but cannot add it to their pass. There is no option in the app to “add” a shared trip to their “my trip” or to associate thier pass with the trip details. Do we really need to add each journey individually on their respective “my trip”. ?? I would have thought it would be a simple share the trip  option to add shared trip to my passplease help ? we have a week before we travel !! Thanks in advance.

(First I wanted to book a 2nd class single bed but couldn’t find a possibility either) My local train company’s office wasn’t able to solve the problem, too.Is there still a chance to get the reservation, that is not needed refunded.?Alois

Hello Eurail community!  I hope someone is able to help me as I'm really struggling to get the seat reservations I need and now I'm running really behind. My friend and I leave on April 29, 2023, we've purchased the eurail global pass 5days in one mo And need seat reservations from Amsterdam to brussels on May 3rd from Brussels to Paris on May 4th and from Paris to London May 7th. I'm open to departure times  But my goal is to arrive in the next city around 10 AM ish.  When I put the route in on the Eurail app at 1st it gives me the option to book the train reservation but then it quickly turns to say that seat reservations are not available, Which From what I understand is said to mean that reservations for that train are sold out but when I look on the Thalys Website (brussels-paris trains) it shows that there are still train tickets  available for multiple times But it doesn't appear that I  Can book seat reservations on Thalys only the whole ticket... Also why is there More options
