At the time of writing I should be on the trains.
1st disastrous Interrail experience.

1) yes there were one/several train cancellations on my first trip
2) yes, the application doesn't help novice users with route changes
3) Yes, the explanations and conditions for a “refit” are very laborious in the single-language descriptions.
OBB have also just informed me that the reserved seats (ZUrich-Innsbruck-Wien) have been cancelled.
30% loss on hotel reservation (unless I find an arrangement with them) (Ensana Sarvar)
Yes, using public transport isn't always great, but there are also traffic jams on the road. I'd rather be annoyed on the road...
In short, I've left our car behind...to go to Hungary for dental treatment...I'm hesitating to take the car instead of the train.
The good news: I was able to interrupt my journey 15 min from my home and turn back, having to pay for a “small ticket” purchased from SBB/CFF.
How do I claim? Where can I go? Full refund? How can I recover the lost journey that I was unable to change en route, not knowing what to do in the event of train cancellations?
In short, what a mess ... too bad, I was so looking forward to travelling differently.

PS
At the moment (I should be in a Panorama Wagon between Zurtich and Wien)
