advance tickets vs global pass

Hi all,Planning a trip from Finland to southern France and back next October as a family of 4. I got the impression that separate train tickets bought well in advance might end up being cheaper than the global pass. But interrailing last summer to Italy and back we found that quite a few of the trains that we took were delayed. My question now is, what happens if we have bought separate tickets and one or more of our trains are delayed so that we won't be able to make the next connection? I understand that the global pass is considered a through ticket so we would be booked for the next available train, but if we have separate tickets do we need to buy new ones ourselves? Any other thoughts on the matter are also welcome 😊

syncing app with web account

I found a trip on my app, saved it but I don’t see it appear when I log in to the web version. I don’t get the same trip in the web version. Why is that? Are the things you fill in on the phone app synced or stored in ones account?

if only taking 2 trains is it worth purchasing a Eurail card rather than buying single point to point tickets?

hiWe are only planning on taking 2 trains in August 2024 so not sure if it is worth getting a Eurail card. the trains we are taking are: from Paris to Amsterdam and would like to take the fast 3 hr 20 min  Eurostar bullet which would cost extra if we get the eurail card and sounds like it might be complicated to make sure we get the time we want (I believe it is about 32/37 euros more on top of the eurail card but not sure how easy it will be to get the day and time we want etc). The eurostar ticket if bought separately is anywhere from $158 the cheapest to about $300 so its expensive And from Amsterdam to Berlin on the direct ICE high speed train. This I can get for about $115 cheapest for times and day I want to goIs it worth getting the eurail card or shall we just purchase two separate tickets?Thanks

Read the reservation guide. Still lost! Need help!

Hello everyone! Although I've seen tons of videos on how to use the Railplanner app and Eurorail website so I'm still getting the confidence around it, I still don't quite get how to make the reservations and when I should  activate the pass. I bought a 5 days Global Pass.here's my itinerary for now:April 13th - From London to Paris @3:30PMApril 16th - From Paris to Bern,Switzerland @10AM**We'll be visiting a few destinations within Switzerland with trains also.**April 18Th - From Bern to Geneva. Questions:Few websites including Eurorail guide says that reservations should be bought somewhere else, not directly with Eurorail but with the train companies directly. Website does give you the option to buy them though. Furthermore, it says that train times are not updated fast enough to be accurate. Please explain this. When exactly you should activate the pass and what if I miss a train or for some other reason I dont board the reserved seat, what should I do? What to do when not travelli

RECOMENDACIONES PARA VER LOS ALPES SUIZOS

Hola comunidad,Agradezco su respuesta a la siguiente preguntaCual es la diferencia entre ver los alpes suizos desde St Moritz y Tirano usando el tren Bernina Express y los trenes urbanos de Suiza,¿Los dos tipos de trenes hacen el mismo recorrido? es decir pasan por los mismos lugares.Tengo un pase de Interail en primera clase y no quiero gastar dinero de mas, pero tambien el objetivo de ir a Suiza es admirar los alpes suizos, entonces debo invertir en el expreso bernina o con el tren urbano puedo hacer lo mismo.  La Fecha de viaje para ese trayecto es el 10 de septiembre 2024. Gracias y muchos exitos.-

6 travel days with global pass for a 6 days vacation, but where?

Good evening!I have 6 spare travel days from my Global pass after a travelled in Norway and I what to use them in late April in a different state, I was thinking about Greece but since a would have only the 30%of discount on the ferries, that would make it less convenient then travelling by plane from Milan.Because I would need to book the train too and the night ferries are quite expensive so I want save up even on the night accomodations...So now I don't feel like that Greece is the most convenient choice in my case.I'm a bit indecise on what to do, and I don't  have much time to plan, what are suggestions of the community on this? Is Greece something that can be make or should I take a different approach?

Travelling in the Baltics with LuxExpress

Hi guys,I’m organizing my first trip in the Baltics and I was thinking about moving with LuxExpress, since trains are not the best around there. I was considering a night-bus from Warsaw to Vilnius and then day buses for Vilnius-Riga-Tallinn. Someone more experienced than me can please tell me if LuxExpress is a good company? How are the night-buses and the buses in general? Most importantly, is it safe to book now for August? And finally, how can I get a discount if I’m less than 26 y/o?I’m more accustomed to trains so I have no clue of how buses are or work… 😅Thank you very much in advance

fjordline discount code not working

I’m trying to book the Fjordline ferry from Kristiansand to Hirthals using the interrail discount code that is given on the Fjordline site. The site says the code has been redemeed but the ticket price is exactly the same as the price without the discount code. I’m just trying to book the standard economy fare. It even says on the webpage standard economy Eurail price but as I say there is no 30 per cent discount as promised. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

How to book train tickets from Lisbon to Porto

Hey there,I am trying to book a train from LISBON - SANTA APOLONIA (Portugal) to PORTO - CAMPANHA (Portugal).  When I enter the relevant details on the interrail planner I get the following.There is no relevant information on the more information.  So I assume I need to book directly from CP - Comboios de Portugal.  But when I try and book there, it is full price.  I couldn’t see anything that said I just need to reserve a seat.  If that is the case, then why do I need a Eurorail pass?  I have Eurorail global passMaybe I missed a step, can someone help please?Thanks in advance

NIGHT TRAIN - ZURICH TO ZAGREB

Hi Community. We are thinking of taking the night train to Zagreb in late May this year. I have read on this forum that I should book the sleeping car using tickets.oebb.at. Is this the best option? Would appreciate input re Zagreb as we have never been to Croatia. Was thinking of taking the train to Split. Not sure of what to do next. As always, would appreciate your advice.

Question about Eurail and getting to Stafford, UK

Hello,Looking for some advice on this as we are from the USA and do not have experience with Eurail or Interrail.This coming August we are looking to take our family of 6 people (2 adults and 16, 11, 11, 6) to a UK/France/maybe Belgium trip.If we bought a Eurail Global pass is there a way to get from Central London area to Stafford, UK?? When I enter this on the Eurail planning tool, Stafford does not come up on the tool. Perhaps some of you know how to get around this and book it.Ideally we would want to use this Eurail Global pass to get from London to Stafford, back to London on a later day. Then other travel days from London to Brussels, then to Paris, and maybe then to Versailles and back. Only the Versailles would be the same day there and back and we would be spending overnights in the other destinations. I figure a 4-5 day travel pass should be adequate and probably worth it.Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.

Im totally new to this and would appreciate some help! :) Just bought Interrail pass 2nd class for me and my 2 teenagers. I would like to know if anyone knows:Barcelona to Lourdes, 4th of AugustAre their trains on the route I have in the map? What is the most beautiful way to go there by train, interesting nature and mountains? What is the cheapest way to go there by train and only spend 1 day? Is it too early to book tickets for travel in August now? When I search I cant seem to find that many trains, sometimes no at all. But if I search for April/May there is trains.  Marseille - Tirano, 9th of AugustCheapest and fastest train to travel this day from Marseille in France to Tirano in Italy? It seems to be difficult when I look. :) Is it possible to do it in one day?

Salzburg to Munich on German Onecountrypass

I understand that the German Rail Pass covers trains from Munich to Salzburg, but does it also cover trains from Salzburg to Munich? Sorry if this seems like a dumb question, but the pass only shows trains TO Salzburg from Munich and not the other way round.Thanks!
