I’m using my purchased Eurail pass to travel from Paris to Basel SBB. The route starts at Paris Nord and transfers at Paris Est via public transportation. Can I just start at Paris EST to avoid the public transportation transfer?

Last year I won a 7 day 2nd class interrail pass. Can I upgrade this to a 1st class pass? If so, how does this work? This question is not about reservations, but about the pass.

Train will be replaced by a bus service (a direct bus and a bus with several stops). We would like to take the direct bus to Mönchengladbach at 9.55 am. Does anybody know if this bus service is included in the Interrail Pass?

We are from the USA and are on a 2+ week vacation around Europe.On Sunday, October 19, while traveling from Offenburg to Cologne on the Deutsche Bahn ICE 200 , my wife accidentally left her phone on the train as we departed at the Cologne Station.We immediately realized our error, but the train had already departed.We called the phone and another passenger answered.  He said he would give the phone to train employee.We got online and created a lost item report K2025/***** (Number hidden by moderation).  We put the phone into lost mode, and put instructions on the screen to call my working phone.With find my iPhone, we watched as the phone ultimately traveled to Hamburg.Since then, nothing has happend.  The phone sat in the same location for 3 days, until the battery died.We tried calling the lost+found number for Deutsche Bahn, but they hang up on us.  “We can’t help”.Now, my lost item report 

I work for a UK rail company and we get FIP vouchers for free travel on some European service.I need to reserve 2 seats on a service but I am unable to just reserve the seats without buying a ticket.Any advise would be great.travelling from Paris Gare de Lyon to Zurich.thanks

I know Westbahn doesn't accept first class passes in first class (I don't know why ?!) and you have to pay an upgrade fee.I wasn't prepared for the price: €65 for an international journey, which must be the most expensive supplement anywhere on the network?The pricing information on Rail Planner appears to suggest it's €9.90, and that passengers can buy on board.  

Is it possible to still activate your mobile pass on the date of today?

Hello everyone, for several months I have been thinking about traveling during this end of year. I plan to use my Interrail pass before it expires in November and travel around 1 month, so until december.But here is the problem: about 1 month before my departure deadline I am telling myself that it might be very cold and that I will not be able to stay outside too long to visit the cities, etc because of that. Especially since I plan to do the northern countries: Denmark, Sweden, Finland and the Baltic countries. Otherwise I was considering doing countries from central and eastern Europe and some southern countries So I wanted to have feedback from people who traveled in Europe at this time of year (october, november, december or January) Thanks in advance!

Do we deserve not to refund the cancellation fee if the reason is there is no return trip available that appear on the Eurail webpage? There is an ongoing construction and it did not appear on the webpage. We thought there was no return trip and that is why we cancel our trip. Eurrail should inform the passengers on the webpage and the alternative trips should have appeared on the webpage. We do not have a choice but to cancel the trip. We deserve to get a full refund since the fault is from Eurrail side for not showing the information on the webpage.

Bonjour, comment etre sur que je pourrai utiliser mon pass pour mon itineraire . si les billets ne sont pas ouverts à la reservation, ( comment savoir si les billets disponibles pour interail ont tous été vendus?) si c’est le cas, comment faire? Merci 

I'm trying to book a train from Visp to Zermatt on the 20th October, but only one train a day is showing. I thought the train ran every hour?Any suggestions? 

Hi there, my daughter (20 years old) and I planning to go to Europe in late November to early January. Our base will be Skalica (Slovakia) as we have family there. I want to be able to travel to other countries by train if possible. Do you have any suggested itinerary via trains/buses? I’m thinking Germany, Italy, France, Belgium. Thank you so much!!!

Hi! I’m Alessio, an 18-year-old student from Italy :)I’d love to go on a trip in July or August 2026. I’ve already visited several European countries, including Spain, Greece, and France, which I absolutely loved! I’m open to different destinations — ideally somewhere in Northern Europe, but that’s not a strict requirement.What really matters to me is sharing a great experience with great people, so I’m looking for someone who’d like to travel together and have fun.I’d also love to meet up with people along the way — maybe in some of the places I’ll visit — to share part of the journey or just spend some time together.A bit about me: I have lots of different interests, so I’m sure we’ll find things in common! I enjoy cooking, listening to music, watching and playing football, TV series, movies, and taking photos.I’m also a very adaptable person — I try to make the best out of every s

I made a required reservation for a traject in one direct train. My trip is from Madrid to Avignon.However, the recieved and payed reservation does not cover the whole traject.It only goes untill GironaIf I look again at this train, and the part of this train from Girona to Avignon, I see that for that traject is a reservation required as well, but not anymore available.So I am afraid I will be put out of the train ?When I booked, there was no information given that the reservation was mot possible for the whole traject.The traject was also not divided in more parts, wherr you should make separate reservations.Does that mean that my reservation is oke  for the whole trip to Abignon ?

I can’t seem to book any trains after Dec 14. Anyone have an answer? Thanks!

Why does my ticket say round trip? I say this because the first trip I made was from Amsterdam to the south of France and I stayed there for a week, but my ticket said round trip, and the last one I made was to Belgium from Amsterdam and I had to buy a return ticket because I had already run out of return tickets. Shouldn't it be better for each person to choose the day they will return, and not have the ticket come out automatically. Because that way they don't lose the return ticket.

I am planning on traveling around Europe in April 2026, how can I book this now? Here are the places I am thinking about traveling too in order; 1. Belgium - Brussels 2. Netherlands - Amsterdam 3. Germany X2 - Cologne & Berlin4. Czech - Prague5. Poland - Krakow6. Slovakia - Bratislava 7. Hungary - Budapest 8. Austria -Vienna9. Slovenia - Ljubljana10. Italy X2 - Venice & Milan11. Switzerland - Bern 12. France - Paris13. England - London

Anyone experience a delay compensation request?I just discovered that the delay compensation starts @ 1 hour and i already have 3 different days of more than an hour delay. It is not clear what proof you need and what proof I can get a few days after the fact ( Does services like zugfinder count?). Does Interrail self find the delays?

Hi there,I have the Italy Plus Pass (this is a Beta Version which includes reservation fees). My first planned trip is from Brennero to Verona with a RailJet. When I planned the trip, all looked fine, but now the Interrail App says, that this trip is not included in the pass. But it also says, I need to book a supplement, which would be OK. And RailJet, which is a train of Austrian ÖBB, should be included in the pass. But I cannot activate this first trip in the App. Does anybody have an idea, how I can activate the trip?Thanks, Tom

Hi everyone,I have a doubt about the 3 month pass.If I buy it now, and buy my first train ticket today but to leave on the 25th of november, it will be valid until the 13th of january or the 25th of february ? Same for the way back: if I buy the pass and my first train ticket on the 25th of november, will it be valid until the 25th of february or can I buy a train ticket the 24th of february but to travel like the 1rst of march ?Thanks and sorry if it’s a little bit messed up...

When I purchase a Eurail Pass, do I have to pick the train routes as well? Can I buy a four day pass and then select the trains on the days that I'm traveling?
