Train connections & reservations

Hello.My name is Jorge from Portugal, planning my first Global pass Interrail, mainly in Swiss, Austria and Germany.My planned trip is almost entirely made of “no mandatory reservations” journeys. Some of them are crucial, like if I don’t board that train I will miss the plane to Portugal.Is there anything I can do so I can be sure I will board those specific trains? Thanks

Hello community, I had some questions about the Paper Pass and the MyTrip section.First of all: is it correct that the paper pass, attached to the plastic cover of the pass, is the one that needs to be stamped on a railway station? Meaning that i do not need to fill this one in myself? Secondly: i understand that i need to fill in the dates and the inbound and outbound station of my travel. Is this also necessary for when i change trains? My example:I'm traveling from Amsterdam to Prague, with a transfer in Frankfurt and then a transfer in Regensburg. Do i need to fill in Amsterdam-Prague on MyTrip, or do i need to fill in Amsterdam-Frankfurt, Frankfurt-Regensburg, et cetera? Thank you in advance for your response!  

Hi !  I am leaving to take an interrail trip this summer and was starting to check my itinerery. I noticed that there are no train line between Dubrovnik and Split. Are there any way to connect these two cities that may be included in the interrail global pass ? Thanks ! 

I want to travel from Basel to Italy, therefore I bought the Interrail Italy Pass. When I wanted to book the seat reservations I got the message that the pass isn’t valid in some of these countries. Could anyone help me?Thank youSandra  

Hola, vivo en Chile y quiero reservar asientos en un viaje de Paris a Barcelona teniendo yo un Eurail Pass electrónico, pero al realizar la reserva, y cuando me pide los datos la página me indica que la reserva se emite con Billete en Papel, y como yo estoy en Chile, no me permite pagar, y por lo tanto no puedo reservar. No tengo una dirección en Paris donde me puedan enviar los billetes.Como lo puedo hacer para que la compra sea con billetes e-tickets?Gracias, por la ayuda.Saludos,

Hello! I’m travlling in July from Munich to Prague and I’m trying to get a reservation - but it seems to be unavailable. Is there anybody having the same issue? I doubt all reservations have been booked already… The train is RE351Thanks in advance!

On the interrail planner, there are only a select amount of grey dots (stations) on the map. Are these the only ones you can travel to with the Continuous Month Pass? Or can you go anywhere in the country? Thanks.

It is almost impossible to make reservations through the website for the last 4 days.  Every time I get the message “ A problem repeatedly occurred on …… “.    I tried everything from clearing the cache, rebooted my device and using different browsers.   It was working before and I was able to book some trains.I have a pass and trying to book seat reservation any help is very much appropriated.   There is no customer support link in Eurail website.  This is very frustrating 

Is it mandatory to plan our trip before? For example, I want to visit England but I don’t want to do a “road trip”, but to be based in London and have some day-trips in other cities. But the problem is that some of the cities are not addable (I can’t add them) to the trip (eg: Bath, Bournemouth) so does it mean that I can’t travel there with the pass? 

Hi! The 5th of Juli we would like to interrail trough East-Europe. Unfortunately booking seat reservations isn't possible. Does someone know why it isn't possible? Kind regards,Charlotte 

Some trips cannot be booked via the app, but can be booked via the website. For example from Dimitrovgrad (Bul) to Istanbul. Is it possible to add these journeys to the Pass via the website?

For example, how can you travel from Paris to Brussels with a normal train, so without a surcharge?

Hi. I am considering getting a refund on my already-purchased interrail pass, and buying a replacement pass in this nifty sale on at the moment.However I have already made reservations and want to check if those reservations (especially the Eurostar reservation) are valid with a new pass. All other details -- name, passport number etc -- will remain the same, only the pass number will change.

I am interested in buying a 2 month global pass while it’s on sale.I am a Bulgarian citizen traveling in Canada during May and June and will be returning to Europe in late June. I plan to land in London and travel for 2 months using the pass before returning to Bulgaria.Is it possible to ship the paper pass to Canada since I won’t be at my home address to pick it up?I already have a flight to London which is why I’m hoping to use the pass this way. Also, does a trip need to start and end in your home country? Thanks a lot!

Hi all, I’m really struggling with the broken Interrail website and my holiday is getting nearer..I’ve tried making seat reservations with 3 browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) on 3 different devices (two laptops one iphone) and the page just won’t work. Sometimes the page doesn’t open and shows an error message. Other times when it lets me access the page and search for the train, it says I have to “create trip”, after which I have to “add travelers”. After I add travelers, it shows 0 trips and says I have to “create trip”. The loop is never ending. When I look at my trips under my account, it adds any new trip I create into “past trips”, not “upcoming trips”. The trip I’m trying to book is London to Paris (Eurostar) with a mobile pass. I’m currently in the UK. Any alternative ways to book?

Hi, We want to take the InterRail pass to go from Switzerland to a trip in scotland, on septembreIf I use the app to see the train, a train like London-Edinburgh, we can’t see if fees is applicable, we only see N/A on all train, at any schedule (next month or septembre)Same with the Eurostar. For the Eurostar/TGV, we dont’ understand when we can book. Already to late ? To early ? Thank you !

Once upon a time with an Interrail Pass one just entered where one was going and got on board. Total flexibility. But now everything is digital and limited and needs to be booked ahead and printed out….. I have bought a pass and wish to reserve a place from Brussels to Valence, from there to Barcelona, from there to Madrid. But despite going to the web page for ‘Book reservations’ I only get a red blob telling me that no Trips are entered; I have created a Trip entry but this repeats. The ‘timetable’ I fill in with date and time of planned journey does not then go dark to allow one to press a ‘Search’ or anything similar, just brings me back in a continuous loop to where I already was. This is frustrating. I see from other people’s comments that they, too, have difficulties with making a reservation. What should one do? 

I’d like to use a 2 month continuous pass to visit friends in Wien, Paris, Berlin, Normandy, Lubliana, and Albi and Florence. Can I retrace my steps multiple times over the 2 months, or do I have to make a complicated one way itinary?

Hello, I want to start my journey in Belgium and travel to Prague and than travel to Switserland and go back to Prague, is that possible? This would mean that my destination ends twice in Prague. Thank you!

Hey everybody. I use the Digital Pass and want to go from prague to vienna. I got a ticket for the rj 75. Time is 8:12 am. Now I looked up the updated Connection and the train go at 07:53.  My question is: Can I use the train ? Does the ticket inspectors Accept it?

Hi,I’m planning to travel through Italy with Interrail pass during summer and I’m wondering if these “Regionale Veloce” trains require a compulsory reservation. According to the Interrail timetable (see the picture), it does require a reservation, but according to other sources, Regionale and Regionale Veloce trains doesn’t require a reservation. Another interesting fact is that it doesn’t provide the price of the reservation, so I’m really confused.Thank you for your answer.

Hi,I must do a travel around the Central Europe.I start from Italy and as first stop I would like to travel by ferries from Ancona or Bari to Croatia.Is it possible this stop with Interrail pass? 

Hi there I'm a bit confused, so there's one price for a pass and then an extra price on top of that if the train requires seat reservations, right? But when I do my search on which stops I would like to make around Europe (Paris-Cannes-Nice-Genoa-Venice-Rimini), it ends up being cheaper to just buy the tickets, rather than having a pass? I'm confused... I don't wanna pay €30+ something just to have to pay for a reserved seat. Should I just buy tickets as I go? 

Hey,I am going to be starting my travel from Bologna/Italy. I was wondering if booking reservations for each train is a must. For example, If I were to go to Florence from Bologna which takes 25mins, would it be okay not to book a reservation? Or do I need to buy 1 for sure? Also, when I go on interrail’s app, it says for most of the train tickets, I must book a reservation. How can I know when I need to book a reservation? Can I just not get 1 for short trips?
