Over the weekend, I purchased two (5 day in 1 month) InterRrail passes for August and reserved seats on trains to and from Barcelona via Paris. In total, this has cost €900 and, alarmingly, AI has suggested that buying individual advance tickets (with mandatory seat reservations) might actually have been cheaper! What do you think; does this sound expensive to you? N.B. The InterRail passes were c. €600 and 8 seat reservations (in and out of Paris both ways) were c. €300.

I've made train reservations on the Rail Europe platform using my interrail pass number. I received the tickets as pdf's. Can I add them to the Interrail app? If not what to do when travelling ? Print the tickets and activate the travelling day as a 'use day' in the app ? Thanks for your support,  Rob

Something went wrong while booking the reservation i need help asap

Dear all, We found a suggestion on the official Interrail website to travel to Istanbul. When planning in the trip planner, there is an error and a suggestion to split the journey (from Sofia or Bucharest) in two. Without further advice on how to do that. Could you please suggest how we could solve this.Is it possible to travel to Istanbul with Interrail?Best, Tiina and Hannu, travelling in June.

Hello !Our country is France.We’re trying to use our pass from France to Spain.Yet the only trains covered are the one within France. No internal passes within Spain.So the goal is to reach the border of Spain with our pass. And more precisely the railway station of Hendaye. Which is a border train station.Has someone already done it and is it ok with the pass knowing that the city we’re reaching and from we will get back is technically a French city ?Thank youEmmanuelle

Dear Interrail community,We are organising our first Interrail trip, using Interrail to visit Stockholm and Copenhagen.However, one of our group cannot install the Rail Planner app on her mobile phone because the operating system is too old.

Hello all. need to take the train. from Ljubljana to split, Croatia. We can take the day train but does not get there until 10;30 pm. Which is ok for us if the scenery will be nice. Or should we take the night train that would get there before noon. Lastly Does anyone know if the first-class seats fold down for sleeping and/or are they in separate cabins. thanks.

Hello! I am looking for this exact Interrail Paper Pass Cover. Does anyone know where I can get this? I’d really appreciate it if you can help me. Thank you. 

Hi,quick question : How does the discount on StenaLine ferrys work? I want to take the Göteborg to Kiel ferry in mid-July, mid-Trip. The Interrail-website states “Save a travel day on your Pass when travelling with Stena Line. This benefit can be used with a valid Pass even if your travel days are over.”. Does that mean it can only be used when having an active pass day or if all days are used, but the pass is still valid? Cuz I wanna be using it mid-trip (Not all days are used up) without using a day of the pass! Thanks for the help! With the best regards!

My wife and I are inexperienced rail travelers and will be taking the train from Nice to Zurich on April 24.  Two portions of the trip (Nice Ville to Ventimiglia & Milano Centrale to Lugano) show Open Seating.  Do we just show up that day with our Global Pass to access these portions of the trip?  We have tickets for the other parts of the trip.  

Hi, we are trying to plan to travel to Paris from Scotland as it is a long way we would like to stop in Milton Keynes for a day to break up the journey.That would mess up our outbound journey, is there a way round it as travel by train is very expensive in the UK.

Hello again everyone!Follow up question - Eurail Global Pass I was trying to book seat reservation from Milan to Lucerne. I followed the steps that "themaninseat61" provided using the Rail Europe site but I'm still being charged the Full seat price and I'm not getting an option to purchase. I also tried the Trenitalia and ÖBB sites and the same thing, I'm being charged for the Full ticket seat price. What am I doing wrong? 

Hello experienced travellers,starting in Brittany, I am planning a travel day to Munich. The easiest way seems through Paris est - Stuttgart.As I am aware of the DB train delays, I checked the punctuality of the train I’d like to takehttps://www.zugfinder.net/en/train-ICE_9573Regardless of the delays, 2 of the last 3 days are tagged “destination not reached”. Is there a way to have more information (“one-time” problem or repeating risk, where the train stopped, what was the advice to end the journey) ?Better, is there a more reliable route Rennes - Munich ?Thanks for any information and advice.

Can I download/active a single pass to two separate phones?

Hello! We are looking to purchase the interrail plus pass (beta) which include most seat reservation costs. That is 29/3 and we want to travel in August however it says the pass will need to be activated within 3 months of purchase. Does this mean we need to book the seats and travel in August within 3 months or does it mean we need to travel within 3 months.  AlsoHas anyone used the plus pass with seat reservation costs covered and is it worth it? Thanks! ☺️

Hi everyone! I’m trying to book couchettes for 4 people on the overnight train Paris-Cerbere but when I try to book with interrail. There’s two option both at 88 euros and they don’t specify which one is the seated option and which one is the couchette option. Could you help me please? Thanks xxx

Hello,I use public transportation in Amsterdam with Eurail Pass?

I have tried to book seat reservations on ACP Rail.  Every time I try to pay it gets refused.  Even if my card provider has confirmed and approved payment.  Totally mystified

Hello. I am trying to plan travel from Euston London to Liverpool Lime Street. The EURail trip planner was unable to reserve my seats for me, so I am trying to do it myself. The ACP website says that “this product is not available in your region” when I try to reserve the trip from London Euston to Liverpool Lime Street. Should I try to find another way there, another way to get the seat reservation, or should I simply try to board when I actually am at the train? My trip is planned for May, and I am worried that the train will be full, and that I will be unable to board. Any thoughts? Thank you for your help.

Hello, all answers from years Ago - ist it possible from not on undtil end of June?

Ich fahre nach Ostern nach Italien und nutze einen 4-Tage-Global Pass.Der ursprüngliche Plan war:07.04. Braunschweig 05:57 - Basel 11:48 / 12:30 - Milano C 16:50 / 18:05 - La Spezia 21:21 (Tag 1 / outbound)10.04. La Spezia 13:06 - Parma 1514 / 15:27 - Modena 15:56 ( Tag 2)12.04. Bologna 22:54 - (Salzburg 06:58) (Tag 3)13.04. (Salzburg 07:01) - München 09:29 / 11:12 - Göttingen 14:45 / 15:06 - Braunschweig 15:59 (Tag 4 / inbound)Nun hat die DB netterweise im Februar bekannt gegeben, dass die Tageszüge zwischen Karlsruhe und Basel nicht nutzbar sind (SEV mit 2 Stunden längerer Fahrzeit oder mit 3 weiteren Umstiegen über Strasbourg - Mulhouse nach Basel), sodass eine Fahrt an einem Tag unmöglich wurde. Ich habe daraufhin den NJ von Hannover nach Zürich gebucht, und von dort nach Mailand (Abfahrt Hannover 00:30, also immer noch Tag 1 / outbound)Und gestern - 9 Tage vor Reisedatum - bekomme ich von den ÖBB eine knappe Emai
