SJ Private sleeper, different genders

Hi, ive just booked a private sleeper compartment for me (female) and my son, however I have realised that I have booked first class but have 2nd class pass!the option of 2nd class private sleeper didn't have a discount for interrail so was more expensive - why is that?the cheapest option has gendered carriages, so i assume if I booked for me and my son we would we end up in separate ones.Annoying that its going to cost me so much more to go 2nd class than 1st!

seat reservations

The exact same seat reservation is €6 on OBB website and $60 on EuroRail. How is this legal and possible? Seems like they are ripping off foreigners. How can I file a complaint with local government and train agencies ?

Do I book hostels & flight home before going?

iI’m planning an interrailing trip for summer (July & August) 2024. I was just wondering whether I should book all my hostels before going or just wait and see or will this be expensive/booked up? What if I decide to leave a place a day earlier than planned and then that messes all the hostel reservations up or is this not possible? And should I just book my flight home whilst I’m there in case I add places onto the end or will it be really expensive?

How to check reservations for night train are available before I buy a Eurail pass?

We are a family of 7. We only plan to travel on 2-3 day trips from Paris (Chantilly one day, Amiens another), and then the over night train on July 10th from Paris to Nice. Tickets are 160 Euro per person for that over night train so I planned to buy a Eurail pass for all of us for the overnight train at least. Not sure if we need a 3 day pass or just a one day pass for the night train, as the other trips are quite short. But I read that seat reservations for the night trains are limited for Eurail pass holders - How can I work out if the overnight train has space for us before I buy the Eurail pass? I don’t want to buy a pass then find I can’t book the seats for the trip I have planned! Thanks for your help

Dog

Hi 😊 We want to travel to Argelés-sur-Mer and I wanted to ask the chat-gpt but it is not able to answer. We would like to know, how it is with interrail pass AND to take a little dog with us. Does the dog need a ticket? It is 7 kg and can fly with us in the aeroplane as “luggage”, how is it in the TGV and also in “normal” train? Thank you!

Booking seat reservations on an international train from France to Spain

I’ve seen several Q’s and Q’s on / around the topic of seat reservations for RENFE trains for interrail pass holders but I thought I’d try and get a definitive answer on my specific situation. I’m arriving in Nimes, France on 4/12/23 and hope to travel to Spain on the 09:00 Nimes to Madrid service on 06/12/23. Nowhere currently am I able to book an online reservation for that specific train, only trains later in the day which aren’t suitable timings-wise as I need to get to Cordoba from Madrid that afternoon.Is my only option to call SNCF, or use another service operator (DBahn?), or is it safe (or possible) to wait until I’m in Nimes and try and book a reservation at Nimes Station. Is it unwise to leave booking (or attempting to book) the reservation to literally one / two days before travelling or should I try and book well in advance?Thanks !

Travel

hi, I want to go from Wroclaw to Venice, and then take the train to Silicia to take a ferry to the island, and then return home. Do you have any thoughts on the layout? I’m thinking of going to Verona, spending the night there, going to see Venice in the morning, and either in the evening or the next day I’ll go to Silicia. The problem is that I have 3 out of 4 days left on the pass which makes everything even more complicated.

Senior Greek Ferry Pass Enquiry

Hi, I hope someone can help. I am buying an Interrail Greek Ferry Pass along with my Interrail Global Pass and in looking at how to book an international ferry to Greece I tried to book as a senior as I am 60 and that is the pass I have. On the island hopping it is fine as the checkbox is 11-99 but when I book the international leg of the journey it will not let me use my pass unless I check the 26-59 age group. I think you get a reduction as a senior over 60 anyway so this might be the reason. But I want to know if it is OK to check the 26-59 years box so I can use my pass even though I am 60. I don’t want to buy it and then find out I cannot use it on the international leg. Hope this makes sense and Thanks.

Are International Ferry Trips Free or Reduced with the 6 Day Greek Pass?

I thought that there were 2 international ferry crossings included in the 6 day pass. One in and one out and that they were free. But when I try to book there is no option to pick the 6 Day Greek Ferry pass just the Interrail global pass. Can anyone let me know whether that are free or just discounted and how to book if there is no option. Many thanks

How do I use the eurail pass without a seat reservation?

First time I'm buying the Eurail pass. To use the trains that don't need to book a seat, do I need to make some kind of reservation? How does it work? Or is it just showing up on the day and time of the train and getting in? What if it's full? I need to make sure I will board.

Ein Länder Pass Italien

Hallo Zusammen Ich habe mich entschieden vom 22.8-29.8.2024 ein Ein Länder Pass (Italien 3 Tage 1 Monat zu kaufen. Ich möchte gerne die Städte Rom und Florenz besuchen. Daher habe ich einige Fragen:Ich werde 3 Tage in Rom, 3 Tage in Florenz verbringen reicht das um die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten zu sehen oder habt ihr welche Tipps die ihr noch empfehlen würdet? Mein Start ist von Luzern dann nach Rom von Rom dann nach Florenz und dann von Florenz zurück nach Luzern daher reicht der 3 Tage in 1 Monat Pass? Auf der Raileurope, Interrail Sitzplatzreservierung kann man noch nicht buchen daher muss ich mich noch ein wennig gedulden da die Italienische Bahn den Fahrplan recht spät öffnet, daher meine Frage die Strecke Roma nach Florenz gäbe es ein Regionalzug lohnt sich der oder soll ich lieber mit dem FR Zug nehmen?
