Eurail & Interrail Passes

zermatt

I have a rail pass, and am trying to find a train from Milan to zermatt. Nothing comes up on here, but I have found Milano central-Brig, and then brig to Visp, but can’t find the Visp-Zermatt leg except for on the train line site for another $100. Before I pay another $100 on top of my pass, is there anything else I can do on here?

CoR for Northern Ireland?

I have bought an Inter Rail pass to use in mainland Europe in September.When buying the pass, I selected United Kingdom as my country of residence as I am from and still live in Northern Ireland.I just activated my pass and note that beside “Residence” it says “Great Britain”.I am going to travel with my Irish passport.Will this be an issue? Should I have selected Ireland? If I have my driving licence would that be sufficient to prove UK residency if asked on the trains? Is there a way to change the CoR on my pass from United Kingdom to Ireland if needed to avoid any hassle with this?Thanks

Using only one travel day for night journey with connection

Hello! I’m planning my first Interrail journey. Firstly I want to go from Kutno, Poland (my residence country) to Munich, Germany. I’d like to use this connection:IC 5420 Hutnik from Kutno (18:50) to Czechowice-Dziedzice (23:23)IC 407 Chopin from Czechowice-Dziedzice (00:07) to Munich (10:24)If I will add in app that I virtually “entered” the Chopin train in Oświęcim (23:45), one station earlier, would it count that I used only one travel day (outbound from my residence country)? Or the train staff will see that this change is not possible and will give me a fine? Thanks for your replies.

Seat reservation and journey planning

Hi, everyone! I’m about to leave for Austria for a 6-day vacation and since I want to make sure to do everything right I was wondering: if all the trains I have to take have the green “reservation is not needed” label does that mean that the order confirmation is proof enough for the conductor? Or am I missing something? I don’t seem to be able to find any bar code or similar.Thanks!

Sweden, SJ night train: 1st class sleeper with 2nd class pass?

Two people with 2nd class Interrail global passes want to travel on a SJ night train.Among the sleeper options shown on the SJ website, some are referred to as 2nd class and some others as 1st class (e.g. a private sleeper compartment for two people).After inserting both passes’ codes, any option seems to be bookable, both 2nd and 1st class.Replies given in a previous topic stated that even 2nd class pass holders were entitled to book a private compartment, but it was shown as 2nd class in that case.I just want to make sure that 2nd class pass holders are entitled to book a private compartment on SJ night trains when it is classified as 1st class.

Choosing the right Global Pass

Hey all! I'm figuring out which Interrail pass to buy and I'm doubting between a Global Pass for 5 days or for 7 days. Is it possible to now choose for 5 days, and to 'upgrade' that later (either before using the first travel day or even after using the first travel day) to 7 days? Pr is that a decision I have to made before buying the ticket? Thanks a lot in advance!

How does the pass exatcly work?

I have a 5 days pass in one month, and how does it count?Like in hours? does it mean i can travel 120 hours in one month? Or like 5 whole days? Does it matter if it's less than 120 hours, but it spans five days? I don't travel the whole time, so does it count as a whole day anyway? If i travel in the morning, til the afternoon like 5pm, does it mean that i have already used up one day, or only those hours I had just been on the way? Thank you for your answers.

Interail, activated day - should I specify train

Hello, Should I specify every train, I am going to use when my day is activated? I need to travel from Chamonix-Mont Blanc to Annecy. I find that there is several trains with 2 changes for approx. 2 h and cca 20 minutes after 18:00. However Interail app suggestion send me over Geneve and the journey takes 6 hours with arrival after midnight. It does not work for me.

wrong start date

I accidentally pressed to activate a travel day today and so the app moved the start date today when my trip starts on july 30th, and it doesn’t late me change it anymore. I already wrote to the assistance, I know u can not change it but maybe they can do something cause I really pressed by accident. Did anyone have any similar experience?

Eurostar Cancellation and Rebooking

Hi,My eurostar train reservation made through the interrail website has been cancelled, I was notified by Eurostar and given the option to rebook, I have rebooked my ticket on the Eurostar app for another time tomorrow (Fri 11th) but the reservation is not showing on the reservations overview on the Interrail website. Is my reservation still going to work?I'm concerned as I couldn't see any through the Interrail website as it said it was full for pass holders but could through the Eurostar one.
