Solved

I’m trying to travel through eastern Europe and have had trouble getting into and around Greece with interrail. There are no trains on the schedule from or to anywhere in Greece. Is this an error or is Greece no longer part of the interrail pass? Latvia also has the same problem which caused me to change my trip as I couldn’t get from Lithuania to Estonia.

I thought I’d cracked reservations, but suddenly can’t get anywhere, so hoping someone can help…trying to reserve Wien to Venice mid-June.  The train we want seems not to be reservable for 3 people, though other departures are. Is this possible?  from Venice to Milan a few days later, Tren Italia booking system doesn’t seem to recognise our (mobile) pass numbers.  The ‘I’ help shows where to find the number on a paper pass, so wondering if that’s the issue?any guidance appreciated!

Hello! I have a Eurail second class global pass. I originally got a standard class seat reservation from Paris to London in April, but we had to change the date we will be leaving Paris. I went onto the Eurostar app and was able to change the date but since there was no more standard class tickets for the time I wanted, I was able to upgrade my seat to standard premier. My question is, will that be okay since I have a second class Eurail pass? I was able to successfully select the seat and I have the Euro star tickets but I want to make sure everything will be okay. Thank you! 

Our Eurostar train has been cancelled for Tuesday 28th March.  We can't reschedule for that day online as their website is down and as it's the weekend, the Customer Helpline is closed. We have reservations. Can we deactivate this journey in our planner and rebook another train on that day via rail planner without loosing our reservation money (appreciate that we may have to have other seats).  We are desperate as we already have accomodation booked in Paris (non-refundable)

Hello train travelers,I wanted to make seat reservations for the direct train from Brussels Midi to Lyon Part Dieu on June 16 at 1-ish. However, I was told that this is not possible when I phoned the railway company.What is the best alternative? The railway app suggests traveling via Paris, but that connection doesn’t seem so good. Are there better routes?Thanks

Travelling as a family in August. Final leg of our trip is Milan to Rome but no trains appearing when I search via the journey planner. Not sure if I’m in the wrong place or if tickets just haven’t been released yet?Any help gratefully received! Many thanks

is there any other way to reserve Paris-Gare de Lyon - Basel by eurail pass except for this site? According to error in this site(being not able to press ‘continue to traveler details’ button), I need to find other site for reservation

Hi,During Easter this year (2023) it is difficult to make reservations as there are railroad constructions. Last date for activation for my pass is the tenth of April, but it seems there are no trains that day to leave for Copenhagen. Can I activate the pass on the 10th, and then leave Sweden for Copenhagen on the 11th? On the 11th there are trains and it is possible to make reservations.Kind regards, Jonas

I am traveling from Istanbul to Bucharest on April 3rd on an overnight train. Does the sleeper only operate to Kalikule ? If I take the train to Sofia, does the sleeper goes to Plovdiv ? 

Hello, we are from Australia  and hoping to book our transit from Rennes to Colmar, France. There is a 50min transfer time in Paris and need to get from Gare Montparnasse to Gare de Lyon, to reconnect out travel onwards. Does anyone know know if this is easily possible in that timeframe? Or should be book a different train? Thankyou 

Hello,I’m wanting to reserve a seat on the overnight train on 10th April 2023 from Zurich to either Prague or Budapest.  on the Eurail website it says there are no reservations available to Prague on either of the direct overnight trains. I can reserve the overnight train to Budapest however it won’t allow me to purchase as it’s a paper/post ticket and the website says it won’t arrive in time.  I can see on the OBB website that there are tickets available to Budapest, however no reservations available. It also seems the Czech train website is down at the moment. Is there another way I can make a reservation? Stressed about missing out on a seat!!  thank you!

I tried for the first time to make a seat reservation on a Norway train from Fauske to Trondheim through Eurail website and it says the reservation will be sent by post. Is it always the case for all reservations through Eurail? I understand I can make a direct reservation by calling Entur’s customer service, not online on their website, which can be expensive. The other option is to go to a staffed train station in Norway. I am concerned because I will start my trip to Europe next week. Any advise?

How much time do I need to get from Malpensa Aeroporto to Milano Centrale Station? What's the best way to go? We are flying in at 1:50pm--we want to get to Como by the evening. Thanks!

I understand that some ferry companies (e.g. Greek) allow a discount for Interrail / Eurail pass holders. Do  any companies operating ferries to Corsica also offer a discount to Interrail / Eurail pass holders?

Hi,We are planning an interrail trip (one country pass Greece) during July. This is our route:Athens → Corinth → Patras → ThessalonikiThe only problem is that we can’t find the timetables for the trains during July 2023, does anyone know if this is normal and when we would be able to see this? Route suggestions are welcome.Thank youuu   

IC 312 Budapest-Graz was broken up in Szentgotthárd. Everyone who wanted to travel into Austria had not only to change, but also to wait for more than a hour, (instead ÖBB could have set-in a remplacement-train, but deceided it due to costs-reduction). But that’s not all, the regio-train stops much more often was ab Feldbach fully crouwded. So I’ve paid for the day without getting what I’ve paid. And Interrail refuses to give any compensation for, this is horrible. EURail Group shouldn’t handle with people who have paid more for extra comfort, should they? The next train should have been published in the teain-planner: RE 4721 Szentgotthárd-Graz Hbf (dep 13:04, Arrival at Graz: 14:53 has been published without time from Szentgohhárd (that name is weitten with Accent-aigu!). If someone looks at the EUrail-App, he/she thinks to wait untol 15:09 for the next train. Please add the times of the missing-trains of the line Graz-Fehring-Szentgotthárd, thank you.

Help! I bought a 1 month global family pass when my daughter was 11. We are travelling today! Sat on the train ready to depart. My daughter has had her 12th birthday and I can now not activate her pass. I am willing to pay to change to a youth ticket but can’t get a response from Eurrail!!! Has this happened to anyone before and did you get it resolved? 

On my route from Pisa to Milan, I’m planning on stopping off for a few hours in either Bologna and Verona or just going to Genova. Then, on my way to Salzburg from Milan, I either want to stop in Verona (providing I haven’t already done this) or Chiasso. I’ll only be in these places for 3 hrs max each so was wondering which ones are worth visiting. 

I don’t know what happened but my birthyear is off by 1 year. I am already in my journey but plan to use my global pass in about 36hours. I am worried I might run into technical issues as I move from one country to another with this specific birth year detail.I have already sent a request from customer support but as I have searched in this community it would seem help is non existent. So many have the same problem and no one really has any good news from support.Is my journey screwed?

Hello!I am new to this forum and new to the European Rail System. I will be traveling with my husband and son to Europe in June for a month. I will have plenty of questions to come, but my first is this.  We have purchased Global Passes 1st class.  We arrive in Paris at 6:10am and need to go straight to Basel the same day.  When I look on the Rail Planner app, I cannot seem to find a train departing from Charles de Gaulle 2 - TGV, which as far as I can tell is where we need to leave from. Can anyone advise me if there is a train that will take us from the airport to Basel?Thanks so much for any help!Meghan

Hi, I’m completely new to using the Interrail Pass and already I’ve made a couple of fairly major blunders. Here is the latest: I have a Global 1st Class Pass on my phone (1 month). I planned to return to my home town of Newcastle in the UK from Antwerp (via Brussels) on 2nd May so I scheduled the trip in the Rail Planner and then applied for and received a seat reservation for that date. However, I have just noticed that somehow my Eurostar journey appears to be scheduled on my phone for the 1st May, and also at a later time of day (14.04) than the reservation on the 2nd May (12.56). How serious is all this, and can I do anything to change my travel day to 2nd May to fit in with the reservation I have paid for on the 2nd May?  

I added all my journeys into the app in My Trip a couple of weeks ago. When I went to check today all the journeys had disappeared? So frustrating and not sure how to retrieve them without adding them all again. Any ideas???Also when I look at the trains for Switzerland they are all coming up as “Not in Pass network”??? I have checked the app version and it updated 3 days ago. Does this mean I can no longer use the pass in Switzerland. Leaving in a few days and this is stressing me out. 

Hi dear travellers,I haven’t bought my pass yet (I’m looking to get the global pass), but I am a bit confused with how difficult it is to book trains and reserve seats and how reliable the trains are. So before I buy the pass I wanted to check:To book the tickets, do I have to search manually for trains on each company’s website and then book through there, or is there an easy hassle free way to book through the interrail app where you can book tickets and reserve seats all in one place? If manually, is this difficult to do? It seems a little overwhelming just from a first glance to coordinate the ticket and seats especially for night trains How reliable are the trains in Germany/Austria/Hungary/Chezch/Slovenia/Poland? Are they often late (i.e. should I always have a back up plan or always make sure connections are very far apart)? If a train is late and I miss the next connection, does it happen that you’re just stuck at the station in the middle of the night? Do I have to book very

Hey,jetzt habe ich eine neue Frage. Ich habe um 10:14 eine Reservierung für die Strecke Neapel-Catania getätigt und um 10:19 eine Mail bekommen, dass die Bezahlung nicht verarbeitet werden konnte. Trotzdem habe ich um 10:20 die E Tickets für die Reservierung erhalten. Ist die jetzt gültig oder nicht?Danke!

Hello, I am trying to make a reservation for an OBB Nightjet Train from Basel SBB to Amsterdam Centraal with my eurail pass. On OBB’s site, the route is available if I click the option to purchase outright, but it is not available when I select a seat reservation only. I cannot find it on partner websites (eurail, b-europe) either… I am frustrated because I purchased the pass with the intention of using it to book some of these night trains. I can select the intercity train that I understand is connected for only a 3euro reservation, but I would prefer a couchette to sleep on my journey. Any guidance on how to work around? I have thought about purchasing the cheaper reservation and upgrading later, but I doubt that couchettes will be available day of. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
