I have purchased an Interrail pass valid for 33 countries. I tried to book a seat reservation from London St Pancras to Brussels but could not do it. Please can anyone help. I need to do this as soon as possible. Thank you in advance 

Hi, I have a flex pass for interrailing, but I can’t get a QR code. When I have saved a trip the yellow switch button, which should be right next to the trip you want to make, is just not there. I have tried deleting the app and downloading it again but that does not work. I have already activated my pass completely. Do you know how to help me? Kind regards

I have recently purchased a global pass for a holiday in September. My outward journey (all on one day) is from my UK home to Lille. I can book Eurostar now and would like to do that to be sure I am on the train I want. However UK domestic trains will not have timetables issued for September for some weeks so cannot be booked. If I book Eurostar now will that count as my one allowed outward journey or will the pass cover both journeys which in normal times would be one journey?I do not want to book any other part of the holiday because if fares only from/to London are covered then the pass is not worthwhile having and I will return it unused.Suzy 

DearOn 12/06 I made a reservation for Brussels-Paris (25/06) and Paris-Brussels (25/06). The money has gone out of my account but I have not yet received a confirmation by mail. 25/06 is approaching and I would like to have my tickets. Who can help me with this? Thanks in advance! Laurent

Hi - i have interrail passes and downloaded the rail planner app, added the passes and activated them. I have created a trip and want to book seats for some journeys so have used the link which goes to the Eurail website and asks me to log into my account - done that but my trip isn’t there and it says I need to create one to book anything. Also then asks me to connect travellers to that trip - my passes are already connected to the trip in the app. Do i really need to put the whole trip in twice and how does it know it is the same trip. Have spent days trying to do this and already lost some journeys as seats are now sold out. Can anyone help me see what i am missing here?

Dear all,  My friend and I are trying to book seat reservations for the trains in France and Spain. We would like to travel the 12th of July from Rotterdam Centraal (NL) to Madrid in Spain. But, interrail seat reservation booking system does not give us any options. All possibilities are not available with the note to come back later. We already tried to call SNCF and other rail stations. They can book for us till Valence TGV (FR) but, we can not find a train from Valence TGV to Madrid. Is this possible to book? And where? Does anybody have tips for us to book the seat reservations we are aiming for.  Thanks. 

My husband and I have 3 month global passes (on app)which we’ll activate in September.  I’ve been planning journeys and adding them to My Trip.  I haven’t added them to the pass as I gather it’s best to do that on the day, for flexibility.  However I’ve changed some of our planned itinerary and want to delete some journeys from My Trip.  Cannot see how to do this.  Can anyone advise? Thanks 

Hola! Tengo el Interrail global pass y estoy intentando hacer la reservas de asientos pero el programa me dice precios no disponibles o me dice que lo haga por &quot porque no está disponible en Interrail no entiendo que significa o como poder reservar para final de julio, alguien puede ayudarme?. Gracias 

Hello, At step 3 of activating my pass, i'm asked for my ‘Passport or ID no’. There are two numbers in my passport:Persoonsnummer/personal no. Documentnummer/document no.The personal no. can be compared to an SSN. Which one should I enter?

HI, quick question: if the reservation is not needed that means we can jump in the train only with the pass?No need to do any procedure before that?It is not clear to me if I need anything, as I should register the trip on the app isn’t?ThanksRaissa

Hello, I have a small problem: I have a mobile Interrail Pass. However, due to an issue with my IPhone, I had to reset it. As my pass was registered on the railplanner app, and as I tried to enter the code of my pass on the app, the app said "your pass is already registered on another device". But that's not possible, I had to do a reset of my phone.I will probably have to change the battery of my Phone, so maybe I will have to ask the same question another time if the Apple Store has to reset again my phone or if I have to change my phone. I will be travelling very very soon, so if I can have an answer quickly that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,Yann

Dear community,I’ve contacted the costumer service on 31/5 with the question to change my date of birth (I’ve made a mistake in the year of birth). I wanted to make the seat reservations but the wrong date of birth is on those documents as well, so I’m waiting until I receive news from them. I did activate the pass already, so I hope this does not make any difference? I’m planning to travel to Sweden and Norway and for Norway it is more difficult to get the seat reservations then Sweden… I’m leaving on 2nd of July. Is there any way to contact costumer service by phone? Thanks for your answer!Stijn 

I tried to reserve seats to France - Spain train. Unfortunately reservations for trains between France and Spain are only on paper. The system calculates that it takes more than 4 weeks to deliver tickets to Finland. So I called directly to SNCF and they could have made the reservation, but they don’t accept visa  payments from Nordic countries so the reservation was impossible. They advised to contact Interrail again. Which is a dead end cause only paper tickets and delivery is impossible.

I read that taking reservations in France and especially in Spain (at the stations) ist very complicated and that reservation seats are very rare at the moment. I’m thinking about getting a global pass but of course, I can’t check if there are any reservation options left for my dates if I didn’t buy the pass yet.. (I’m going in August/September). Does anybody can give me some advice here? Thank you!

Hello, Hope everyone’s well. I am trying to book seat reservations from Barcelona to Paris for 16th July using my global mobile pass. Eurail website is not showing price for that date and when I choose 15th which is available it asks me to enter delivery address. I have tried multiple addresses in Europe but it says according to our estimate the tickets won’t arrive in time. I tried calling 0033184943535 but I ended calling after selecting english. I just want do book the seat reservation in advance so it doesnt get sold out. It would be great help if you guys can suggest any alternate way to book this journey.

Dear EurailI have purchased a Eurail pass with Plus 20-Dec-2020 and the order confirmation clearly states "The pass is fully refundable without a fee, however the fee for Plus is non-refundable" (IN30227660).06-May-2021 I received a mail that the activation period was extended until 31 august 2022. Unfortunately, summer plans are so that the travel can't be made this summer and a refund is there necessary.However, when I login to my account - the ability to apply for refund is not available where it should be as per your help information.I have contacted your service department 04-Jun-2022 using your facebook support option to get this error fixed or a refund done - and received confirmation e-mail confirming receipt of the request. I have not heard anything back yet.I don't think > 2 weeks response time for a simple support request like this is reasonable - and the money is needed to pay for the alternative summer vacation!Can you please prioritize getting this service request mana

Hello,i tried to book reservations from Cologne to Paris with Thalys and from Paris to Nice with the TGV 6165. It is not possible to book any seats in both of the trains via the Interrail-App.If i try to book it via www.b-europa.com then I have to fill in a Pass Cover Number, which I don’t have, because I have a mobile pass.I checked the entries here and found out, that Interrail can offer this Pass Cover Number.We need help! If we don’t book this trains we have to cancel all of our plans :(  

I’m currently in Europe, needing to reserve 2 seats on the Paris to London Eurostar June 22 (2nd class).  The reservation tool won’t load and the alternative site doesn’t recognize my pass numbers.  Please help!!

I have a residence permit in Germany , my passport is at the UK embassy, can I still travel outside Germany with the interrail pass? Can I activate the pass with my passport number even if don’t have it physically when traveling?, I just have a picture of it and a proof that my passport is at the embassy. 

I am trying to buy a couple of 5 day Eurail passes for Ireland for a July trip, but the website is telling me shipping will take until mid-August? Is there anyway to get this shipped much much much faster, like within a week. Or alternatively, can I just buy the pass at one of the Dublin train stations? if so, how much more will that cost than purchasing online? Thanks

Hi, I have bought a Global Mobile pass (7 trave days/1 month) and was planning to take this route in a few weeks:Gothenburg - Copenhagen - Hamburg - Frankfurt - Marseille - Barcelona Before I bought my pass, the “book reservations” page made it seem like I would be able to book all of the seat reservations with no issues and it showed me the prices too. However - as soon as I had bought my pass and logged in, it started only telling me “Prices unavailable” or “Prices temporarily unavailable” for the latter part of the trip. It doesn’t matter which departure or date I choose. If I go to bahn.com and sncf.com the train tickets I’m interested in are all available, but for a full price. I could buy these instead, but then there’s absolutely no reason for me to have an Interrail pass and I feel like I have poured money down the drain.Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks in advance.     

Yesterday (18th of June) i was on the rail planner app planning my trip and using it to see if there were connections by train between different cities. Automatically the travel day was set for today (19th of June) . I didn’t notice this and midnight went by and it kept like this. Now the pass is activated and it appears i can’t change the fisrt travel day. I only want to start my trip in middle of July. I can’t change it on my own but is it possible for someone to help? It would be a huge heartbreak to lose the pass and the experience.

Hi! Im going on a trip in some days and had to go to another city in my country. I tried to activate multiple journeys. I didnt go but ive used up my inbound/outbound journeys. Is it possible to get these back considering i didnt go?  

Hi, I’m from England. I’m trying to book seat reservations for Paris to Barcelona  (29th June) and Barcelona to Marseille (1st July). When I try and make the seat reservations it says the postal tickets won’t come in time (even when I put the address as a hostel in France and these trains are over 10 days away). Is there a way to make seat reservations online? Will there still be seat reservations available if I go into a train station in France on the 28th June?
