Hi - I have purchased 3 x Eurail Passes and have commenced booking trains.However in the Trip Planner where we are planning the trip, it says reservation required - but have already done that and have it confirmed. Can we link the reservation into the trip planner on the website so we know that this segment has been completed?  coming up with us requiring to book passes as ads - doesnt seem to recognise that we have already purchased passes - we are logged in, and my account shows all the correct information (that I have purchased tickets, names of travellers etc) Does the reservations how up in the mobile app?  I cant seem to see the tickets in the mobile app?  I can see them on the website.  Thank you for your advice

For the Eurail train pass purchased for 7 consecutive days in a month, are there free connections from German (e.g., Baden Baden) or French (e.g., Strasbourg) train stations to light rail and/or buses that take you to/from city centers? Or is there a separate fee for the light rail and buses to/from city centers? Thanks in advance for any response(s).

Can one Login to the Eurail Planner App?If so, how? If not, why?Note: The ‘answer’ given elsewhere just says that the app does not ‘sync’.  It does not state explicitly whether one can log into the app or not.Thanks,Paul

Does having a Eurail Pass mean I don't need to book tickets on the Avanti West Coast website? Can I just go to the station to reserve a seat and then take the train to my destination?The Eurail website is confusing me; I can't book seats on the Avanti West Coast. But if I buy tickets on the Avanti West Coast website, what's the point of having a Eurail Pass?My plan is to travel from London Euston to Glasgow Central in the morning, and then take the Sleeper train back to London from there.Does anyone teaching me how the process? thank you in advance.

Hi,I am planning my first trip to Europe next spring.  From May to June for about 30-34 days.  I’m most likely flying from Vancouver to Paris and going home from Amsterdam.  Though I’m very excited planning and looking at destinations to go, I’m also very overwhelmed by it.I’m looking for some itinerary and destinations suggestions for France and  the Netherlands and other countries to visit in between.  I’m hoping to visit at least 4 countries.   My interests are art and gothic/medieval architecture and local artisans.  I don’t drive, so I’ll be using transit and walking.Some destinations I’m interested in are Venice and Prague, but wondered if the countries are too spread out and there would be too much travel time? I’m also considering flying into Venice first instead of Paris.Thanks! I look forward to hearing some suggestions and advice.

Dear All Community member,I am the holder of Eurail Global Pass 2nd Class.I plan to make seat reservation for my upcoming trip from Lourdes to Paris Montparnasse on December 28. However, after I checked the schedule on that date, there is no 2nd Class seat available. It is only 1st class seat.Is there any suggestions for me how to be able to board the train on that date? Because it is mandatory to have seat reservation, and as I know for 2nd class pass holder, we can't book 1st class seat.Thank you for your help.

Hi! i dont think its clear to me from what i read what should i do the rest of the days that i am not using my travel pass. For example i travel a day and i use as many trains i want with my pas which is clear, i stay in a hotel and the next day i want to explore the area around. If i use a train i should not use my travel pass as this will count as a travel day and i will lose one day of my journey right? i should issue new tickets for trains, metro or use a bus etc, is this right?

Hi :)we want to book a sleeping compartment for 3 persons mixed gender (family). If we book a woman’s compartment with 3 beds will it be fine for the train company or is it not allowed? It’s only us in the compartment so it doesn’t matter? 

We will travel for 2 months in Europe - booked airbnb but do not know what station to depart out of or arrive to when going for example from Paris to Valencia.   How do I know what station is closest to our airbnb?

I signed up for discover.eu and came across the following question:So here's the key question for discover.eu: How many applicants in this application round have a first name that begins with the letter A?What do you think the number is this time? :)

Hello, I am traveling by train in the Balkans with a 15-day pass valid in all countries. It expires in early December and I still have days left to travel. I am looking to travel from Belgrade (Serbia) to Thessaloniki (Greece) by train. This train exists in real life but not in the Interrail planner. Can I add it manually? And do I need to reserve a seat on board? Or is activating my travel day sufficient?Thank you for your help!

Hi - I am not quite sure of the night train sleeping berths - I understand about the couchettes v the sleepers - but there are 3 of us travelling and would like to not share with others in the cabin.when I look at the OBB web site to look at booking through there, it only says that you can book a sleeper, but you may have people in it.  But then also says “book the whole compartment” but doesnt say how.When i Iook at booking through Eurail reservations it says 3 x IRT sleep.single(shower.comp) - but I cant  find any explanation of what that exactly is.  When I refer back to the OBB website, I am assuming that is 3 berths in a sleeper - but how do you book a private sleeper? Thank you for your advice.

Hi, my name is Ginevra. I’m an Italian journalist and a big fan of Interrail.Together with a friend, I’m planning a trip for next spring, and I’d love to hear from you.I’m also gathering ideas for an article on this topic, so I’d really appreciate your stories and insights.Have any of you travelled around Europe with Interrail? Where did you go? How was the experience? What do you think is the real added value of a journey like this? What did it give you — and what did it leave behind? Do you feel different or changed after the trip? Do you think Interrail is an effective way to get to know Europe and Europeans better?I’d love to hear your stories! 

Mistakenly bought a seat reservation on Eurostar from London to Brussels. I then bought the correct seat on another Eurostar train (to Amsterdam).How do I cancel the first booking and hopefully get a refund even if only partial, also to allow someone else to get the seat Thank you 

How can I use the planner on my account. I only can plan one trip,  but I want to plan two trips in one month

This connecties train Has reserved Seats but they cannot be refunded because another train that caused the problem. Can I get a refund-actie and where van I claim this (or try)?

Between the 26th and 27th of October, I met two amazing fellow interrailers (a couple — 37M from Kiel and 27F from Groningen) on the SJ 94 night train from Stockholm to Narvik. We shared a sleeping compartment and had such a great time chatting that the ~20 hours just flew by. They got off at Abisko Touriststation, but since we arrived earlier than scheduled, everything was a bit chaotic and I didn’t get the chance to ask for their socials. If by some miracle they see this post (or if anyone who knows them does) — hi, it’s Ondřej from the train 🙌. I’d love to stay in touch — DM me!

My friend and I are planning to carry 28 inch suitcase for Spain trip. We book Eurailpass 2nd class. We will take Iryo and Renfe. Do we allowed to carry it or we have to pay extra luggage?

We’re trying out the plus pass for the first time, travelling from Switzerland to the UK.The TGV Lyria and the Eurostar both require 1 credit each, so our return trip will be a total of 4 credits. Because we only have 3, we’ll need to pay for one reservation (like with a regular pass), as stated on the Interrail website info about the plus pass.But I can’t figure out how to pay for the additional reservation- does anyone know? When I try to reserve through Interrail I get a message saying “ Not enough free reservations left!” but no option to pay instead.Do I need to use another provider, or is there a way around this within the Interrail reservations booking system?Thanks for your help…(And I agree with many others on other threads, it would be great if the number of credits included in the plus pass is increased! Otherwise I think we will not use it again.)

What are the "must see" train rides in Scotland? I'm planning a new trip and I've never been here. So any tips, on the best spot to visit, is most welcome 🤗I'm starting in London, towards Manchester and than up.

I would like to take the INC 1962 train between Catania and Florence on January 10, 2026, but I don't find it available. That train appears in the schedule up to December 12, 2026, but not after that. Does anyone know if that train will appear later or if for some reason it won't run in January 2026? There was a recent schedule update, but this train still doesn't appear after December 12th.
