hello!I’m trying to book the Fjordline ferry from Hirtshals to Kristiansand using the interrail discount code that is given on the Fjordline site. The site says that for my chosen date of departure there are no more tickets available. If I don’t enter the code the website lists the departures of this day normal. So my problem appears not because the trips are fully booked, but apparently due to the interrail-discount… Am I doing something wrong?t(he code does not work on specific days but the MS ferrys you can use the code on drives these days)Thanks a lot!

Hello,I am trying to plan a train trip from Barcelona Spain to Paris France. I am looking to travel on Thursday August 13, 2026. I noticed they have a direct train (6hr 46 min) for June and July but not for August. Instead, you are required to take several connecting trains with trips much longer than 6hrs in total. Is there some kind of planned outage for that line in August 2026?Thank You for your help.Shawn

Hey everyone,I bought the Interrail Global Pass for youth (4 days within 1 month) last year in August. The pass says: “Activate before 6 July 2025.”What exactly does this mean?Can I theoretically activate the pass on 6 July 2025, and then the 1-month validity period starts, during which I can use my 4 travel days? So that I would have time to travel until 5 August 2025?Or do I have to complete all my travels before or on 6 July 2025, meaning that this is the last possible day I can travel?I'd really appreciate any help, thanks in advance! 😊

Was just trying to enter my trip for tomorrow into the app, but encountered a bug in the app doing so. When planning from Basel Bad to Basel SBB I only get journeys by tram, even when I apply filters to switch off trams. It is, with some filtering, possible to get options by ICE from the planner but not the SBB S6. According to the SBB app it's running, but the app refuses to show it and only entering manually works for some reason. 

I have a pass and have booked Eurostar reservations but the app will not allow me to reserve this trip. Seats are now available on SNCF but Eurail gives me a ‘bad gateway’ error message. Help!

Hi, I have started to try to plan a trip. I selected Warrington as my starting point and then added by destination of London.

Can anyone help?

Hello everyone,My family (two adults and two children) would like to travel from Nuremberg to Brest, then on to Montpellier, and from there via Genoa to Rome, before returning to Nuremberg.We're considering first-class tickets if it would save us the cost of seat reservations.Furthermore, the Eurail website's planning software doesn't show any connections from Nuremberg to Brest. However, other websites do show connections. Do we have to plan our routes through the Eurail website, or does it not matter?And how does seat reservation work? Do we book directly with the travel provider?Best Regards  Hallo zusammen,ich möchte mit meiner Familie 2 Erwachsene 2 Kinder von Nürnberg, nach Brest dann nach Montpellier und anschließend über Genua nach Rom und wieder zurück nach Nürnberg.Wir überlegen Tickets für die 1. Klasse zu nehmen, wenn wir und dadurch die Sitzplatzreservierung sparen würden.Zudem wird über die Pl

Just looking for people who are there artists that travel around there that make music in the lanes of punk, folk, hip hop and EDM. I do rap but it's conscious cool hip hop that vibes really well with under indie underground music. Just wondering how other artists have been doing out there, how much luck they've had doing shows and really cool places to go or things they've discovered. I've got some things to share as well. Be nice to start a conversation about that. Much love

I will travel by train in Finland to either Helsinki or Turku. I will take a ferry to Stockholm and then on the next day continue by train to Copenhagen. Same on the way back. It’s unclear how outbound/inbound trains work. If I buy a 7-day pass, will two of those days count for the domestic journeys in Finland or not? So do I have only 5 days outside Finland to use? 

Hello, I want to go from France to Sweden in one day. Its a long trip and i cant calculate to many time in between. Because I need to catch the Euronight to Stockholm in Hamburg. If i miss it i would need a new travel day, but i dont have any travel days left. So would my Interrail pass still be valid the next day of I miss the connection with the Night train in Hamburg? (Even if I am changing train company from DB to SJ)? Thanks for your help,Katharina 

Hi, I’m a internacional student in France from Brazil with a long term visa (>90 days). Should I pick Interrail or Eurail?

Good evening,Next Friday, 19th of december, I will take nightjet 420 (departure 20.46) from Innsbruck to Amsterdam.  I made a reservation via OEBB but I cannot find the train in the Rail Planner. In fact, I can not find this service on any day after december 14 at all. However, in the OEBB app and DB Navigator the train does exist. Is this because of the timetable change?Thank you :-)

Hello! I participated in a giveaway and as I didn’t win they sent me an email with a 10> discount to use on top of the current promotion. Although it is not working… is anyone having the same problem?

Is the refund policy for the promo pass purchased today with 25% off,  the same as any other pass bought at any other time?  (ie purchased, unused and request refund , minus 10% fee)Thanks

Hi!I think I may be reading things too literally to see the obvious so apologies in advance to the seasoned interrailers!I’d be very grateful for your advice.  If I start my journey from home in Edinburgh and take the train to London and then the Eurostar to Paris all in one day, does this count as my “outbound journey”?  In other words, does this still leave me with all of my “travel days”?  (I plan to buy a Global 7 day travel pass so would it still leave me with all 7?)Also, if anyone has any ideas of alternatives to going through London that would be much appreciated. I had thought about getting the train to Newcastle and then the ferry to Amsterdam but that ferry doesn’t seem to be included in the pass and it’s ridiculously expensive.  There had been talk of a ferry from Rosyth to Dunkirk but that seems to have stalled.Many thanks in advance!  Alison
