Eurail & Interrail Passes

global flex pass

I am so confused. I bought the Global Mobile Pass Flex. We will be going from London to Brussels to Amsterdam all in the space of July 22 to the 27. I’ve downloaded the Eurostar app, the Rail Europe app which told me that to activate my pass I need to download another app (Rail Planner) I am losing my mind. We would like to take a day trip from Brussels to Bruge. Do I need to buy yet another train ticket for this, or will the pass we already have get us on a train? And why can’t I see any kind of barcode or QR code FOR the actual Eurail Pass? When I go to the Rail Europe app I’m prompted to add go to the Rail Planner and do steps 1-3. But I’ve done that. Like I said, I’m losing my mind with this. Help, please!

Hi, everyone! Does anyone know if the pass can be transferred to someone else?

I won’t be able to travel, and can’t quite figure out if I get a refund for my pass (which is not activated yet), so I was wondering if it can get transferred to someone else? Love, Rebecca

Vienna to Zurich Euronight timetable in Interrail app

I was looking for a EN train for the above and found in the OBB website a EN 40462 train that departs on 22:28 on 1 June, but the interrail App doesn't show this connection! I went ahead to buy only the the sleeper on the OBB Website anyway. Can I instead add another train connection in the interail App instead, say a NJ train, and travel on the EN train? Thanks!

Regional trains in Alto Adige/Italy: use of SAD-trains on FS lines

Apparently InterRail-planner does not show regional trains on FS lines in Alto Adige, that are operated by SAD (e.g. Brennero-Bolzano-Merano). As SAD and FS are cooperating on these lines in a traffic and tarif cooperation it should be normal, that you could use either train (FS as well as SAD) also with an interrail-pass, If not, that would mean, that you would have a train only every second hour instead of each hour.I understand, that Interrail is not accepted on Merano-Malles as this is now an SAD infrastructure. On the line of Val Pusteria (Fortezza-San Candido) it is less evident as this should still be an FS infrastructure but operated only by SAD trains (when not closed for works).But I think, it should be accepted on Brennero-Bolzano-Merano.I would be happy to have an answer about experiences in 2025!

scanning pass at Amsterdam airport

I read online that you have to scan your train ticket when traveling anywhere in the Netherlands, both entering and leaving the train/station. How do I do this with a Eurail pass where I won’t even have a train ticket? I will be at the Amsterdam airport and then other cities within the Netherlands.

Overnight travel from Bayeux to ride Glacier Express in June

My sister and I have never traveled in Europe. We are in Bayeux, France until June 7 and rather than get a hotel, we thought we would ride the overnight train to a connection to catch the Glacier Express or the Bernina Express on the 8th of June. Is that possible? Our next stop is Fussen, Germany. Also, is it true that we can ride a local train that follows the same track that is much less expensive than the Glacier Express or the Bernina Express?

Train connections & reservations

Do I really not need to make a reservation for this train?

This is a nighttrain from Basel to Amsterdam, it says that a reservation is not required, but everywhere online I see that every night train needs a reservation including this route. I can't make a reservation for this train online, the interrail site just freezes and nowhere else can I make a reservation for this train specifically. Can I just appear there and walk in with just my interrail pass? I really don't want to figure this out on the night itself. Thank you!

Billets de train en Lituanie

Bonjour,depuis la mise à jour des horaires du 9 mai 2025, railplanner ne propose plus aucun train de Varsovie à Vilnius, ni aucune destination vilnius-Klaipeda en Juin. J'ai une reservation effectuée directement sur le site de la Lituanie, mais comment avoir le billet de train correspondant à la reservation si railplanner ne le propose pas ? Je n'ai pas encore activé mon pass, mais j'avais ces itineraires dans mes voyages entrés avant le 9 mai. Je souhaite changer les dates, mais railplanner ne le propose plus.Merci pour vos réponses.You can answer in english :)

Eurail & Interrail Passes

i bought train tickets before activating my pass. what do i do?

I didn’t realise I had to activator my interrail pass as I already had the pass numbers. today I booked an English LNER train which when I checked said it accepted interrail global passes. However, when I booked it didn’t ask for the pass number. I didn’t receive any discount. later on today I received communications from interrail asking me to activate my pass and download the app. When o search for the same train through the app it looks a lot cheaper.what do I do? How do I get a refund? I’ve also paid for other trains before activating my pass. In total I’ve spent about £200 on top of my £450 interrail pass.

Help ! August family holiday 14 day itinerary - France/Switzerland

Hello Community,I'd be extremely grateful for some advice on a 14 day trip itinerary in August I'm trying to pull together for my family (kids aged 8 and 10) The more I look the harder it seems to become, with night trains etc etc. I have a rough outline, which is below 👇. But Im getting stuck on the details.Please please please help. I'm more than happy to copy try and tested routes.The trip outline is;Leave London, travel to Paris and stay for night or two, then travel into Switzerland, to stay around or at Interlaken for 4-5 days, then head to coast resort or town where ideally there is a euro camp or equivalent (france). From the resort, head back to London or if more appropriate fly back.Thanks all
