We have a 1st Class Global Eurail Pass. Now looking at seat reservations for Amsterdam to London in mid June. We are seniors and the price for the seat reservations is close to $300 AUD. Is this normal? Or is this because we are travelling in peak season? Seems very expensive. We are still learning how to navigate the websites,

Last year we travelled from Chambery Challes Les Eaux to Turin which was straight forward and took about 2 hours 40 minutes.Now when I try to plan another journey for later this year I get this crazy journey of 8 hours via Geneva and Brig (or others via Annecy) but none as straightforward as previously.Any thoughts please? When I put in a June date (when I will want to go) it says no tickets but if I try an earlier date in April or today, I get the above. I am hoping that in the winter, the route is not avaialable but come the summer the direct route will be available? Does anyone know anything about this please? Thank you.

I want to reserve seats for a few trains, but in the Rail Planner App there stands N/A (I am using the App with German localization, so it might be different for you, but I will provide a screenshot. Screenshot of the Rail Planner App showing a trip with N/A as the value at the Reservation. 

I am planning on travelling first class round Europe on a first class Eurail pass. In the first class area on most European rail service, can you see out the window on both sides of the train, or do I sit in a compartment where I can only see out one window on one side of the train?

How many trains can I take per travel day? I was thinking about going form Paris to Bruges and in the night to Brussels. Is that possible with only one travel day? Should I reserve with anticipation if I am traveling in May?

Right? Another holiday in the same month 4 Outbound Basel to Vienna  and pay Vienna to Basel Is it okay to do it like this?Do i have to register all my travel even if i pay for some days?Thanks a lot  

We can purchase 3-month Global Passes, but I cannot find any detail on how many days we can travel on those passes, or any other restrictions.  Nor am I able to find a link for the terms of the passes.  Most places we visit we will stay more than one or two days (possibly a couple of weeks in some instances).Can anyone help with detail on these passes?

-English Version Below-Hallo liebe Community,Nachdem mir die Bahnhotline nicht weiterhelfen konnte, frage ich hier.Ich möchte für eine Reise mit 13 Personen Sitzplätze buchen. Wir haben die Interrailpässe zwar noch nicht (ab Montag werden diese gekauft), ich gucke aber schon nach den Verbindungen.Für unsere Reise möchten wir eine Verbindung von Paris nach Freiburg nutzen (TGV bis Karlruhe, ICE ab Karlsruhe). Die Verbindung finde ich nur auf der db-Website. Nicht in der Rail Planner App, der Interrail Buchungswebsite oder bei SNCF. Meine Frage ist jetzt, ob es ausreicht, dass wir die Sitzplätze auf der db-Website buchen und uns dann mit dem Interrailticket in den Zug setzen.Ich hoffe ihr versteht was ich meine! Vielen Dank!#Hello dear community,After the train hotline was unable to help me, I'm asking here.I would like to book seats for a trip with 13 people.

Hi everyone, I am planning a Greek Island hopping trip.We will fly into Kos and home from Santorini. I am struggling to find the ferry schedule for some crossings after May 2024. For example, the last crossing I would like to make is from Mykonos to Santorini, but that is not visible with either of the ferry companies for July and I would be surprised if that is not a route that exists. Am I just too early to make this reservation for this summer?Many thanks, Emma

We are thinking of buying a Global Interrail pass for a journey this year.  Unless I have misunderstood can I use the pass for travel from York to London and then Eurostar as well as travel in Europe? Thank you

Hi,I had used the Rail Planner app on my previous trip with no issues. I've changed phone (now running Android 14) and have successfully installed the Rail Planner, it starts fine asking what pass I have (Eurail/interrail/none), but whichever option I tick, when I then click on the yellow "Next" ("Suivant" in french) button at the bottom, I get presented with a page "Keep informed" ("Tenez-vous informé(e)" in french), and whichever combinations of notifications I select, strictly nothing happens when I click on the "Save" ("Enregistrer") button at the bottom.This means I can't actually get past this initial configuration, so have no access to the actual functionalities of the app, and hence can't use my mobile interrail pass I have just purchased.Many thanks for any help in getting the app into operation mode !Kind regards,Pascal

Can I buy two discounted passes (before 5 March) and use for two separate trips (before 11month activation) please? e.g. a trip to France and Italy in June and a separate trip to France and Spain in September. Thanks.

Hi. We purchased the 2 month global pass (plus upgrade for 100% refund). I used this site for seat reservations and now realise that I cannot confirm actual seat numbers on this site. How do I cancel this request to receive a full refund for the seat reservations (and) what site do you recommend to book actual seat numbers. Ideally I would like to see the seat layout of the class that I am booking. Thank you once again for your assistance.

Hi Friends,  Just wanted to check if there are any possible discounts on buying Eurorail and interrail tickets. Thanks

Italy in June booking accomodation question - Travelling around Italy (from Bath, UK) - Trains and accomodation booked as far as Bologna (26th May) + a stay in Naples & Salerno also booked. Our route is roughly UK - via Paris to Geneva, Bologna, Umbria / Tuscany, Naples area, then Sicily.We plan 3 ish days in Umbria or Tuscany (end May) then 7 or 8 days in Sicily (from 5th June). We would like to have some travel flexibility - I'm assuming we can book hotels / airbnb's (budget circa max 130 Euro for a double) on the fly (a day or 2 ahead) - is this correct / any thoughts?Thanks
