Hi. It is my first time travelling with an EUR Rail pass. I would like to have a backup copy of the QR codes in paper, in case the mobile phone gets stolen. Would those copies be valid?

Hi I am trying to travel from Narbonne (France) to Toledo in Spain and do not seem to be able to book with Eurail without it being incredibly complicated or very expensive.  I have tried HappyRail and Renfe and both seem very expensive with Renfe not accepting the Eurail discount.  Any help would be gratefully received.  Thank you.

I've bought my pass yesterday and I intend to use it from the 15.07.2025 but whe I try to reserve seats it says that I can't because my pass is activated by 2026. Why is that possible?

Hi,I have a Eurail mobile pass and I’m trying to book train ALV 4186 (Bilbao-Abando to Madrid-Chamartín, 7:00 AM). However, it’s not available to book at all on the Eurail, RailEurope or Renfe websites:Eurail - ‘no price results were found...’RailEurope - the 7am service doesn’t appear at all Renfe website - error message saying in Spanish, ‘THIS TRAIN IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR SALE AT THIS TIME. WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.’I only want this 7am direct train as the other trains are in

Hi,I’m trying to reserve a seat for a direct train from Genoa to Pisa using my Eurail Global Pass (mobile), but I can’t seem to book it on the Eurail website or app. The same ‘No price results were found’ message appears:Has anyone had this issue before? Is this route non-reservable, or is there another way to book it?Thanks!

Hiis there a general problem with making reservations? I get an error when trying to pay that the “error is on our side”. Same problem on mobile and PC.

I have bought a flexi pass for 10 days over 2 months .However the pass won’t let me activate it until the 1st of September in the app. Obviously not very  helpful since I’m in Spain now. 

I have bought two passes for two separate tripsOne trip starts tomorrow and I have linked this to one pass and activated the pass. But the app sent me a notification saying I am starting a trip tomorrow and have no connected trips. I have checked and have linked the trip to the right pass. How to solve?

Hola!! Estoy por adquirir el pase global impreso de 10 días en 2 meses y tengo unas dudas que me gustaría aclarar: 1.- Las reservas de asientos las puedo hacer a través de la APP (Rail Planner) o la misma web Interrail? Ejemplo del viaje:Barcelona - Lyon (requiere reserva) - Lyon - Geneve (sin reserva) - Genev - Fribourg (sin reserva) - Fribourg - Bern (sin reserva) - Bern - Interlaken (requiere reserva)Estos dos trayectos, puedo reservar desde Interrail o solo se puede con las compañías ferroviarias correspondientes? 2.- Entiendo que antes de subir a cada tren debo rellenar el papel del pase con el viaje que estoy haciendo (Ejemplo: Geneve - Fribourg). El problema es que he visto que tengo un transbordo muy corto (5 minutos) y me preocupa perder el tren, puedo borrar ese viaje del ticket y agregar el nuevo correspondiente al siguiente tren en dirección a Fribourg?  3.- ¿Qué pasa si he perdido un tren con reserva de asiento porq

I was planning on starting my trip from another country (not my residence country) and then enter my residence country (using an inbound travel day) and then leaving it again for continuing my journey (using an outbound travel day). Is it posible to use them in this order, first inbound and then outbound? I have already made the reservations for both travel days so I need to know if I have to cancel one of them ps: from what I understood in the web it might not be possible and I would need to pay a regular ticket in order to leave my country after entering it, but the information is quite unclear so I’m not very sure

Hi,I’m planning to take a night train on the last day of my Interrail Global 10 days in 2 months pass. The train I want to take is the Intercites de Nuit from Paris Austerlitz to Latour de Carol. The Interrail website says “ you cannot use your Eurail Pass to take a night train on your last travel day as the validity period will expire at 23:59”. My question is: am I really not allowed to use day 10 of the pass to take a NT? Even if my pass is still in it’s valid period of 2 months?Thanks.

Can I get out of my residential land twice with my Interrail Ticket instead of going out and once she dies up?I came back with friends. 

Hi there, I’m traveling through Italy with an Interrail pass this summer and will be staying in Levanto from July 24 to 26. I’d love to get some local tips on where to go out in the evenings—bars, live music, beach parties, or any cool places to meet people and enjoy the atmosphere. Do you have any recommendations for nightlife spots in Levanto or the Cinque Terre area during those dates? Thanks a lot in advance! Best regards,Nick

I got a Interrail pass today. It was 67EU for Poland. And I have a D-ticket for Germany. I’m planning a trip to Poland, and with this pass, I was like: great, this will be cheap!The ticket on bahn.de is 32 Euros from Frankfurt an der Oder to Lodz. As I said, the pass was 67EU, so I thought, “Great, I have 35 euros left and then I will be saving money!”But now, when I’m trying to book my seat it is showing up for 2nd class as an additional 24EU. That feels like a scam supreme.Am I missing something? Like, why am I paying 67EU for the Interrail pass to save… 8EU on my trip?

Hi my husband and I are travelling on a pass in September. We have two Eurail passes and wanted to use my mobile to do the planning and book reservations. What is the best way to do this? At the moment I have both passes on my mobile and they have separate trip names (the App asked me to make a duplicate name) Is this the best way to plan trip? Thanks
