I was told that if I want to be able to pick a seat and rest, get a first class ticket on eurail and get a reservation.  Now it tells me I don’t need a reservation and there doesn’t seem to be an option to make one even if I don’t need one and it doesn’t even ask about the ticket type.  I assume there are a limited number of first class tickets on any given train.  Does anyone know how I navigate this to put in my ticket type and pick the seat?  

So my girlfriend has a Discover EU pass while i have an Interrail pass. We want to sit close to each other in trains that require seat reservetion, however we cant form a group in the booking system. It says that there are different passes and cant be connected or put in a group. Does someone know a solution?

Hello!  My husband and I are travelling through Germany and Switzerland, and have purchased the 22 day continuous first class global passes.  I want to make sure I don’t make mistakes here and have tried to find my answers on various videos on the internet but I am still unsure.  Here are my questions:Can I have both passes on both our phones? Or can they only be active on one phone?  I would like to pre-plan our train rides (as much as possible) and so making a ‘trip’ in the app would be ideal but I am worried that this activates our passes - we don’t leave until the first week of September Would it be a good idea to make reservations this soon in advance or wait?   I have heard/read that making reservations in the Eurail app isn’t the best idea….is this true?  We both won’t have our phones connected while there the entire time unless there is free wifi available...(which I also read to have screen shots of the ticket QR codes for thi

Hi all,Just a question about the journeys to/from the UK on the Interrail pass. I am unsure as to whether one inbound/outbound journey is included in the pass, or is it one inbound/outbound day? For example, if in the app we have one journey from Cardiff to London and then a separate one for the journey from London to Germany (as in removing the first from the mobile pass) after travel and adding the second), is this possible. Or will the first use up our outbound journey and not let us add the second (meaning we have to have Cardiff to Germany as one journey).Just asking as the first option here would allow us more choice of train for Cardiff-London rather than sticking to the connection given in the app for the second.Hope this makes sense and thanks for any help,Morgan

I want to travel from Bari to Igoumenitsa by Superfast Ferries. As we all may know the Global and Greek islands pass holders are eligible to a free Ferry from Greece to Italy and vice-versa. However, when planning my trip and pressing “view train times” for this route it says “only by Greek islands pass”. Does anyone else have any experience with this route? Is it a trip planner problem or glitch or do I need to find another way to go to Greece?

Hi! Would u say that neck pillows are a waste of space, or worth the extra comfort on a 3 week trip? I appreciate all answers :D  

I need to download my pass or invoice into PDF form to send it off for a visa application. I can not seem to find anyway of doing this.

Can I take a train from Barcelona airport El Prat to Barcelona Sants by euRail?

I tried to book a ticket to Jungfraujoch on the 3rd of July 2025, expecting a 25% Eurail discount, but it does not apply anymore. Altogether it comes to 238 CSF per person. Can anybody give me an idea about this issue?

We're trying to book a day-truo ticket from Interlaken Ost to Brienz in early July. We'll likely catch the ferry one way and train on the way back.Even after following the booking instructions  on Eurail website and adjusting my filter to boats/ferries" only, I can't see any ferry timetables coming up on my app. Hoping someone can help please?  

I have reserved seats through the Interail app and i’ve noticed the seats aren’t all together and we are a family of 4.  Can i change this?  

Hi,my girlfriend and I would like to visit Sweden this summer and take the nighttrain from Hamburg to Sweden.I have to questions. How many days to I have to activate for the night train? 1 or 2? In the App, a reservation for a private room costs 78€. Is this in common or each? We share one room of course Thanks in advance 

Hi, I am student enrolled in an Erasmus Mundus Joint master programme (Poland-Spain-Finland).I have an Argentinian passport but a finnish residence permit, so that means that I should apply for interrail and not eurail. right?Then, I was also wondering if I should select that my contry of residence is Finland or not, because currently I am in Spain (I have just finished the semester here), and I have holidays until September. The idea is to use the pass during July-August.I will start living in Finland in September but my residence permit will be available before… Thanks!

Hi everyone,I'm having a frustrating issue with my Eurail Global Pass, and I'm hoping someone here can help or share experience.Here’s my situation: everything is already booked and non-refundable, so I can’t change my itinerary. My trip is:Bordeaux → London → Copenhagen → BordeauxAll of this was planned carefully to save money using the Pass.Now the problems: ✅ The first leg Bordeaux → London uses my outbound day, which makes sense as I’m leaving my country of residence (France). ❌ Then I go London → Copenhagen, without stopping in France at all. Still, the app tries to use an inbound or outbound day, probably just because the train crosses French territory. That doesn’t seem fair, since I don’t board, exit, or stop in France. ❌ Finally, Copenhagen → Bordeaux

Good morning, I am travelling soon, I thought I was ready but suddenly in the application all trains including regional trains show "Seat reservations required". Same search on the website shows "You're ready to board", just like it was when I added my trip to the planner a week ago. For example, Lille to Amiens via TER.

We are travelling from Budapest to Cluj-Napoca but have to change from a comfortable sleeper train at Simeria with a 4 hour stopover  onto a domestic 4 hour journey to Cluj. Has anyone done this trip? Is the local train a decent experience? And is there anything to do in Simeria during the stopover between 07:00 and 11:00?

My wife and I each have first-class passes for travel in Italy this summer. In making our seat reservations, we were apparently randomly assigned to seats rather than getting seats next to each other. Any way to rectify this? If we’re stuck with those for now, how do we avoid it on future reservations? Grazie.

it's one week that I try to complete my booking form; everytime I put the photo of my passport and they say they're checking it, but the next days it's like disappeard and it says that i didn't complete the booking yet.

Hello,is it possible to get from Bayonne/Hendaye (Fr) to Vigo (Sp) in one day via Bilbao or other northern Spanish city to avoid Madrid?I’m looking to travel 1 July 2025 but searching for dates before then (eg in 2 days time) as I know many routes are still not live. However, even when I search for the next few days/weeks, no routes at all are showing.I’m trying to avoid Barcelona and Madrid as I travel from London to Braga in Portugal (hence wanting to get to Vigo and cross the Spain/Portugal border there).Thanks for any creative travel tips!Julia

Arrive into Malmo In August, have 2 weeks left to explore Europe but want to keep travel times minimal unless we use a sleeper. We have travelled from London, through Amsterdam, Berlin and arrived in Malmo. 

Hello,I would like to know if i can purchase a train ticket the day before or even on the same day. What I mean is, let me give you an example: I decide to change my itinerary at the last minute. Can I use my travel days freely, or do they have to be booked in advance?I’m not sure if with the app i “buy” a train ticket or just generate a general ticket that it is possible to use for every train route, like a passepartout. Example of what i need:I want to go from A to B on the 18th of july. i manage to plan this on the app but on the 17th of july (or even 18th morning) i change my mind and i have to go from point A to point C. Can i do so? Iterrail pass: Interrail Great Britain Pass Youth8 days within 1 monthUnited Kingdom - 2nd class Really thanks for your help.

Hallo,ich plane gerade eine lange Reise. Ich wohne selbst im Norden des Ruhrpotts. Ich würde mit meinem D-Ticket nach Kiel fahren, wo ich dann auf die Fähre nach Oslo steigen möchte. Dort würde dann eine lange Reise bis hoch nach Bodo starten. Dazu jeweils den Nachtzug nach Trondheim und dann die Nordlandbahn.Anschließend wäre entweder mit dem Bus oder über die Hurtigroute und kurzer Busfahrt die Fahrt nach Narvik angesagt. Von dort würde ich mit dem Nachtzug zurück nach Stockholm und weiter nach Malmö. Von dort wollte ich dann mit dem Nachtzug in einem Rutsch durch nach Innsbruck fahren.Die Reise würde sogar noch weiter bis Lausanne und zum Ätna gehen und knapp 12.000 km Gesamtlänge haben. Durch Ostfrankreich und Benelux geht es über Amsterdamm dann zurück ins Ruhrgebiet.Meine Frage ist: Würde für die Reise im Nachtzug von Malmö nach Innsbruck einer der In/Outbound-Tage gezählt? (Deutsche Halte wären zwar in Hamburg und München-Ost, aber ich halt sc
