Hi everyone :)I would like to travel from Naples back to Stuttgart. I have already booked a country ticket. Is it possible to use a travel day to go to the border in Italy and book an extra ticket from the border to Stuttgart?Thanks for your help!Laura

Hello, I am trying to book a Night Train from Nice to Paris, when I select the train it says “Seat availability unknown” and it doesn’t let me finish the purchase. What does it mean? How can I book it?

Hello, my girlfriend and I are planning a trip of 2 months through Turkey, Greece and Italy. We plan to start our trip in Istanbul and travel through Turkey with an Interrail Global Pass. After staying in Istanbul we want to go to Ankara and from there we are planning to travel to Izmir. But we can't figure out if Interrail allows us to travel from Ankara to Izmir by train using our Global Pass. According to interrail.eu you can travel from Ankara to Izmir making use of the night train which will take 15 hours and 20 minutes. But when I try to find the route in the Rail Planner app on my phone, it says "We couldn't find any stations matching Izmir in our timetable". Does that mean that there is no possibility to travel from Ankara to Izmir by train using Interrail? Or is there an alternative?

Hello,  I live in Switzerland, near Basel. It is very easy for me to go to the station “Basel, Bad. Bh.” which is in Germany. If I want to go to Berlin and other cities in Germany in one month, is it possible for me to buy a one-country ticket for Germany? Or do I need to pay a ticket for multiple countries (since Basel, Bad. Bh. might not be included to the stations that can be used for the interrail ticket)? And can a one-country ticket be used for all local trains in Germany (= not just the big cities as shown on the map of your website)? For example with city busses? Best regards and thank you!

 If I was to buy a 3 month pass today and do I activate it daily or it just a straight 3 months then it expires , hope that makes sense

Dear all  This Saturday I am planning to go from Lille (France) to Barcelona (Spain) with my interrail pass. There is a change of trains in Lyon. For Lille-Lyon I can make my reservations for seats online, for Lyon-Barcelona I cannot - this needs to happen by post 6 days prior to departure (for which I am too late) or in a station. I live in Belgium, and here the local railway service (NMBS) does not provide seat reservation for trains to Barcelona (I really don’t understand why??). My solution is to go on Saturday to Lille (France) early enough and hope that it still will be possible to make reservations for my train from Lyon to Barcelona on that same day. Is there anyone who knows if this is possible? And whether I can check prior to departure whether there are still enough places free?Thank you in advance! Karel 

I recently bought two global pass 4day tickets and am trying to make reservations for the eurostar from london to bruxelles-midi. The website I am trying to order these seat reservations on asks for a Pass-Cover-Number. Where do I find this number if I do not possess a Paper-Ticket? I would be very thankful for a fast response Update: Thanks for the help - problem solved!

Hi, I’ve booked the trip on the app London St Pancras 08:16 to Amsterdam Central 13:11 (direct) on 13 June 22, but when I go to the Interrail website to book seat reservations, this particular train is not showing. I can see earlier or later trains (none of which are direct) - why would this be, and how can I book seat reservations on this Eurostar train? Thanks

Hi, I’m from the UK and I’m about to start planning my trip, I was just wondering if you’re allowed to travel from London to France with the interrail pass being from the uk or do you need to start in Europe already?And if I’m able to start in London how do you go about taking the train to get to London? Is there an additional charge for taking two inbound trains?

Hi, I‘m currently in Carcasonne.As my next step I want to go to Barcelona, which is possible via a train from Narbonne. Problem is, the reservation for it costs 34€.My question is if it possible to get in the train without a reservation, it‘s a Tgv and it would be no problem for me to not have a seat during the ride.So if i show them just my interrail app with this trip, would this be enough, or do you HAVE to pay for the reservation.Thanks for the answer :)

Hello fellow interrailers.Me and my boyfriend both won interrail passes through the discover eu competition, and we are traveling as a group. I got my pass before him, and added a journey in the app,  a Nightjet train from Muenchen HBF to Roma Termini on 13th of June, with OEBBs NJ 295 train. We bought tickets for a sleeper cabin as well. Now when my boyfriend tries to add this journey to his travel plans in the rail planner app, it does not show up. Another similar OEBB train does, but it has a change of trains in Villach HBF and the train number is NJ 40295, and then in Villach it changes to train NJ 40233. The tickets we bought, and the journey that still shows up in my app, does not have any changes. Is it the same train? Does our train not show up because it is fully booked? What should we do?  PLEASE help us. Kindest RegardsMira

Hello, please help. I have a problem with outbound/inbound. I travel from Germany to France (Cottbus-Berlin-Mannheim-Paris) and for this travel I need two travel days and one Outbound and also Inbound. Now I don’t have a Inbound for travel back home because my travel to France needs 2 days. What can I do??

Hi, I have a question regarding my interrail pass. I read somewhere that I can only use the pass to travel by train 7 days during my travel experience. Is this true? For example, my whole journey is 10 days long, and during these 10 days I can only use my pass to travel 7 different days. Thank you so much! I am desperate because i wanted to travel mostly at night, but thus I’ll use 2 days at a time…  EDIT: I won the pass with DiscoverEU

We are planning our Interrail route for June this year, but neither the Interrail app nor Deutsche Bahn seem to have these in their schedules yet. Our trip is only three months away - anyone know when they’ll go online / how else we can book these reservations?

Hello, I have run into a bug and support hasn’t replied for over two days. When I try to access the pass QR/ticket on the mobile app, the screen freezes and no buttons can be pressed, page scrolled, etc. It seems a popup about an extra travel day causes the problem. Anyone knows how to access the tickets somehow? I am traveling today so I am a bit desperate… 

Hey Interrail Community! :)In case the paper ticket for my seat reservation arrives too late at my home country address, is there any possibility to let it scan by somebodyelse and print it out later one when I’m already on my travel?Thanks a lot!!

Hello everyone!I am really confused.Are the outbound and inbound jorney days included in the interrail global passes days? Or are those 2 travel days like a bonus/extra?  For example: if i buy a 10 day global passe, do i get a travel day to leave my country, then can to travel up to 10 days, and then get another travel day to enter my country?Or is it just a name for the 2 travel days that I use to outbound and inbound my own country and all in those 10 days?Sorry if this is a silly question!Thanks for the attention :))

Hi, I would like to visit Spain and Portugal and see on the website that there is a suggested tour of this (Iberian Adventure). However, I can't find any train rides between these cities of this suggested trip (in the train planner).  As indicated, you can travel between Madrid and Vigo, but I can't find any train journeys in the planner….In addition, I can't find any train times between Madrid and Santiago de Compostela, even though this is indicated on your railway map.  Furthermore, there are no journeys between Madrid and Lisbon, which is also indicated in the railway map. How can I travel within Spain and Portugal?

Hey everyone !I am planning my very first Interrail in May 2022 and I also want to travel from Stavanger to Bergen, Norway. I quickly noticed that taking the bus on this route is way more efficient than the train. The bus would be this one: Linje NW400 Stavanger–Haugesund–BergenDoes anyone know if this bus is somehow included into my pass ? Or do I have to book it seperatly ?Thanks for your help !!Greeting from Germany,Clara 

Hello, It seems impossible to book a ticket between Barcelona and Granada.Is this normal? Thank you

Hi!I bought paper tickets (2adult, 1 youth, 1 child).  According to Eurail they should arrive April 03...at least that was the ETA when I bought the tickets.  I'm starting my trip April 07.  The tickets were sent via Postnl to Mexico and until now Postnl tracking says that shippment has been sorted on March 09 and there's no ETA. Worst case scenario...what can I do if the tickets don't arrive on time??
