I have been intouch with customer service on messenger screen shot showed all and told the trips are all booked in both names . But why does she not have them under her name and tickets . As according to the app she would still have 15 travelers but days and according ti what we are told she is already travelling . Very controdictive ! we need to know we have tickets , we are Australians in France with no help , for two seniors travelling this is making out steam trip very stressful . Please help 

Hey everyone! I’m planning to travel to Italy in late June from Paris and I’d love to connect with other travelers who are heading there around the same time. I’m up for exploring cities, enjoying some great food, taking scenic train rides, and just having a fun, chill experience.If you’re planning a similar trip or open to linking up for part of the journey, let me know — would be great to share the adventure with some cool people!

Yet again I am going to be affected by the train strikes next week in France. I’ve got a tight schedule, on May 9  from Mulhouse to Paris then the Eurostar to London.  Last time I tried to travel in France,  all the trains I’d reserved or planned to use were cancelled due to a strike -  and now it seems that there will be a lot of disruption again. May 8th is apparently a very busy travel day if anyone else is trying to travel then!. I’m thinking that I’ll have to  reschedule and go north via Germany as I have to be in the UK by May 9.  Does anyone know if there will be any trains at all from Basel to Mulhouse and return?  There don’t seem to be any buses that are well timed.  SNCF won’t release information until the evening before which is useless!  any advice would be very very welcome if anyone has experience with this issue: thanks.  (am arriving in Europe on  Tuesday)

Hello I have read that Lauterbrunnen to Wengen is now included in the global pass, but when I look on the rail planner app every option is listed as not in network. Which route is included?  

Hi, I’m Nathan, I’m French and I’m 18. I'm making this post to talk about my interrail trip that I'm going to do with 2 other friends. 🚃🚞🚄Our trip runs from July 10 to July 23. We're leaving from France, to go to these different destinations: - A quick stopover in Hamburg (a few hours before an overnight train)- Arrival in Stockholm (we're staying one night and 2 days)- Night train to Narvik (beyond the Arctic Circle, in northern Norway, where we stay for 2 nights and 3 days).- Return in the opposite direction by night train, passing through Stockholm on the way to Copenhagen. We spend 3 nights there. - We then headed for Prague, where we spent 2 nights. Our final destination is Vienna in Austria. Another 2 nights there, before returning to France. The trip takes a total of 13 days, almost 2 weeks. If anyone would like to meet up in some of the cities we're visiting,

Hello, if I leave the UK early morning (eg 6am), arrive in Turin (Italy) in the evening (eg 9pm) and catch a night train that same evening arriving in Messina (Italy) the next day, is that 1 or 2 travel pass days?Thank you!Julia

I will be travelling from Paris to Mannheim on may 10th, but I am finding it a bit difficult to make a reservation. I got into this link for the DB ( see below) and found that I can make reservation for the train I want for €5.20, which is much cheaper than the €20 reservation through the local trains in France that would take me to Strasbourg. I made the reservation in the DB site and got an email with my seat and car, but there is no bar code or QR code or even nothing that states my name, so I cancelled that reservation. I wonder if someone can help me if reservations through that DB site are ok, or if there is a better way to reserve that would not give me trouble while traveling!  Thanks a lot!

Guys which pass should I buy. I only use trains in five days (28 july, 31 july, 3 august, 6 august, 8 august) but the planner says 6 days…

Hi - I recently purchased tickets for traveling throughout Spain. All of the tickets we purchased were Comfort / Premium.  I know meals or snacks are provided and I just saw that they can be purchased when booking which I did not do!!  Does anyone know if I can go back into the Rail Europe app and try to add a meal?  I did a chat on their site which said I didn’t have to pre-select but it was a robot so I’m not sure I feel completely comfortable with that answer!Thank you in advance.

In September, I'm planning to have a two-week trip via Amsterdam, Vienna, Venezia, Rome, Barcelona (via ferry), and Paris. I don't have specific dates yet, but maybe there is someone who is interested in joining me. :) I'm now 17 years old (get 18 in May) and from Germany 🇩🇪.

I have got a reservation on the  Trenitalia train from Paola to Siracusa on June 4th, (have a global pass). The train is Intercity 723, dep Paola at 12.37 , arriving in Siracusa (Sicily) at 18.28.  I chose this train specifically because it is loaded onto the ferry rather than having to change at Messina.  It shows on Trenitalia and in the Rail Europe timetable, but not on the app. I’ve loaded it manually onto ‘my trip’  but am worried that this won’t be accepted by the conductor on the train. Any advice would be much appreciated.  Thanks!

I'm travelling with family from zurich to venice, however given different coach and seat with my 2 year old son in trenitalia. There is no email contact given by ticket. How do I make the changes on my ticket?

Hola, tengo un pase, viajes agregados, y reserva de asientos para el primer día, para el segundo viaje tenía que esperar 150 días antes de partir para poder reservar asiento, es obligatorio en mi viaje, y el primer día de poder reservar me sale que las reservas están agotadas, lo he comprobado durante 15 días y nada, sigue agotado, he probado con otros horarios y ocurre lo mismo, me gasto más de 300 euros en el pase para luego no poder subir a tren porque no me deja reservar? Que solución tengo? Tengo ya hotel en destino y sino puedo viajar que hago? 

Bonjour tout le monde,  1 an après mon premier voyage InterRail (qui était super cool), je viens soliciter à nouveau votre aide précieuse.  En effet, je compte partir en voyage InterRail le samedi 24 mai au départ de Montpellier, le sud de la France, le tout pour une durée de 2 semaines (jusqu'au 8 juin).  Je vais faire 6 villes (et 6 pays) car je veux passer 2 nuits dans chaque ville. L'année dernière j'étais passé par l'Allemagne au début et à la fin de mon voyage car ça me semblait plus simple mais je veux changer en passant par l'Italie ou la Suisse. Que me conseillez-vous comme trajets pas trop longs et comme villes intéressantes s'il vous plaît ? Depuis Montpellier je trouve ça difficile de faire des trajets pas trop longs jusqu'à un pays voisin... Merci à vous !

Hi,I want to take the nighttrain at 22:18 at Milano P.Garibaldi (Italy), I would arrive at 20:50 at Milano Centrale (Italy) from Zurich, would that be enough time to transfer from one station to the other? And does the train from Zurich usually arrive on time? Thank you!!

I purchased a 4 day Eurail pass several months ago. I did not know that the pass needed to be activated. I then purchased several seat reservations, not knowing that they were not being applied to my pass. How do I fix this? Am I just out all the money I spent on seat reservations? 

Hi, I wanted to book seat reservation only for ICE going from Karlsruhe to Strasbourg, but via the interrail app I cannot find the optin to choose the seat. Are they going to just out you somewhere? Also the price is no 21Euro for 40 minutes travel (for the reservation), last year I paid 5,80. Does anyone know, what´s going on? Reservation for SNCF from Strasbourg to Bordeau is 21 Euro, last year it was 10… Any ideas? Thank you, guys! 

how to remove trip name & rename each trip individually ?

I will be traveling from London to Paris, returning to London two days later. Is there a Eurail pass for 1-day or 2-day travel? Also, will the reservation be included or is that additional?

I just purchased a pass and have started entering my itinerary. Most of the trip is through Denmark, Sweden and Norway. The TripPlanner worked fine in Denmark and Sweden parts but in Norway it doesn’t recognize or allow me to add some locations, specifically Gudvangen and Vossevangen as part of a segment from Oslo to Bergen.  The stops should be from Oslo-Myrdal-Flam-boat to Gudvangen-bus to Vossevangen-train again to Bergen. Oslo-Myrdal-Flam-Gudvangen are all in one day. It also has some dates wrong and won’t allow correction.  I’m doing this on a laptop because it’s easier for me than a phone. Should I only be entering the train travel? If so there will be gaps in the dates and locations.Thanks in advance if anyone can help me sort this out.
