Hi, I have a 1 month Senior Interrail pass for the first time and my country of permanent residence is Spain. I am about to travel from my home in Malaga to London, via Madrid, Barcelona and Paris and that is all booked and sorted. However on my return trip I am taking the overnight Brittany Ferries from Plymouth to Santander, then onwards by train to Malaga via Madrid, all in the same afternoon. My question is this - does Santander count as a border point for entry into Spain, therefore allowing me to use the Interrail for 1 continous journey onwards on that day of arrival, or would it be considered an internal Spanish trip and so not valid? Thanks

i have had an accident and going to struggle for the last 3 weeks of my trip is it possible to ‘park’ those 3 weeks and resume when i feel better 

Salve, una domanda. Se prendo un treno durante il giorno e quindi uso un giorno di viaggio, se la stessa sera prendo un treno notturno e arrivo la mattina dopo, mi consumerà un giorno di viaggio in più o anche se il giorno di viaggio è stato attivato, posso comunque prendere treni infiniti e anche notturni entro quel giorno?

Greetings, OBB site seems to indicate that when we make reservations for Italian trains on OBB, the reservation has to be printed on A4 paper. Isn't it possible to show the pdf reservation from a mobile phone? Is a physical print out compulsory? Thanks 

HelloHere is the plan : I live in France nearby Switzerland and I will start my trip in this country, activating interrail once I got there.From there, I’m leaving for Italy, then I go back in France, but in Bordeaux, faaar away from home. The plan would be to go home using InterrailMy question is do we have two travel in the country of residence or does it have to be to or from an other country ? Because I don’t use Interrail to get out of my country, does it give me an extra one ?all the bestSimon

Hi there, may I ask if the pass is only for train or all the other public transportation within EU? For example, tram and bus?

Do I have any options for rail travel between CDG and Orly airports in Paris? I land at CDG on 18th June and need to get to Orly, which I see is miles away to the south of the city. I have an Interrail Pass (1st Class Continuous).

Hello,I wanted to know if you know some tips to travel in Europe with an interrail pass (or other). I plan a trip in Austria, Germany and Hungary. To save money… Thank you.

Title says it all really. I am doing a trip around Europe and I want a night train from Zagreb to Split but the tickets are delivered by post and when I go to book it says that the tickets wont arrive in time so I can’t book the train. what do I do? I fail to understand how in 2023 a transport company can’t email you tickets but can post them to you which takes far longer.

I accidently activated my pass and the validity has started. Is there anything i can do about this? i want to deactivate my pass or change the validity date.

Voy a coger dos trenes en los cuales se requiere asiento pero en los demás no. Yo he reservado la primera clase.

Hi, I bought a Ouigo ticket for a train from Chartres to Paris this afternoon to 1) avoid being stuck in Chartres waiting for the next TER, not even being certain there would be another, and 2) ensure I could arrive at my final destination in time to check in at my accommodation on time. I had to pay EUR 18 for the ticket. I have a valid global pass. I am glad I did it because it now looks like I will arrive in Amiens on time to check in (train now leaving Paris Nord (18:31) and I'll now arrive at Amiens around 19:40, walk for 30 minutes, check in around 20:15 and thus beat the 21:15 check in deadline. If I had waited at Chartres - with the many other unfortunates hoping to get back to Paris, I would have had serious problems. I have been checking TER info all afternoon and it seems to only have restarted from Chartres around 18:00. This would not have been sufficient for me to meet my check in. As things stand, even with the step I took, I'm arriving at Amiens well over an hour lat

Hi! I need a little help to book seats with my friend. I did a little digging before on this community, but I haven’t found an answer to my problem. But first context:My friend and I won (separately) an Interrail Global Pass thanks to the DiscoverEU contest. We have mobile passes.  I tried to add her pass to my travel, in order to be seated next to each other (and also be on the same cabin in a night train). But after I entered her name and her pass number, it said: “We can't add this traveller to your trip because of different pass conditions. You have to book seat reservations separately."But as I mentioned before, we have the EXACT same pass: same type of pass, same validity period (7 days within 1 month), same start and end dates. Do you have any idea why it says that? How can I solve this problem?If it can't work, is there any other way for us to seat together on the trains? Thanks in advanc

Buenas noches ,quisiera saber en temporada alta cual es el costo de reservas de Valencia -madrid Madrid -barcelona Barcelona -paris 

Salve, ho una domanda. Ma il treno notturno bucarest istanbul vale un giorni di viaggio o due? Perché al confine ci sono i controlli di frontiera e non vorrei pensare che quel treno valga due giorni di viaggio.

My wife & I want to travel from Berlin to Stockholm overnight 5 October 2023.I see that the train runs from Hamburg to Stockholm on this date so we will travel Berlin to Hamburg late in the day & connect with the SJ346 departing Hamburg at 21:19.If we travel Berlin to Hamburg to Stockholm - that’s 2 train trips on the one day - does it count as only 1 Eurail pass trip for each of us?I’m also confused about the types of sleeping compartments available, We are 1 x male & 1 x female; what type of compartment do we book?Also there are ‘Seat in sleeper compartment (1660SEK) or ‘Own sleeper compartment’ (1654SEK). What is the difference? The later would be our preference.All help/advice appreciated.Thanks

Hi everyone,I'm trying to book a journey of Paris to Venice via Milan.Me and my family have 6 x 2nd class Global Passes. When I come to reserve the seats on the first connection (TGV from Paris to Milan) it says only 1st class option is available. Is there an option to pay extra and upgrade on this journey?This is the only direct train for this journey that is valid on euro rail. There are others available, with 4 connections but as we have two seniors in the group, one with limited mobility, I do not want to have ro do that. any help and advice or a direct number to speak to someone would be highly appreciated.thank you

Hello,I would like to travel to Garmisch-Partenkirchen this summer using a German Interrail pass. I would come from the North and I would like to know if the pass is valid on some trains from Garmisch-Partenkirchen.Is it valid on the Bayerische Zugspitzebahn ? It seems like I can use it up to Grainau station, but not further. Is this the case and can I get discounted tickets if I want to go up to the Zugspitze ? The Außerfernbahn between Garmisch and Kempten is operated by Deutsche Bahn trains. Both ends of the line are in Germany, but it runs through Austria for part of the journey. Is a German Rail Pass valid on this line or do i have to go the long way round ?Thank you for your answers !

I have bought pass last year, and it still not activated. I have one month to activate my 2 month pass, but now I work full time and cannot travel. Is that possible to transfer this pass to another person? Or may I refund that?

bonjour, sur l'application il est marqué qu'une réservation d'un train est obligatoire puis quand je vais sur le site pour réserver une place, le site me dit que la réservation pour ce train n'est pas obligatoire, que cela est pris en charge par le pass. L'appli et le site se contredisent, comment savoir si cela est obligatoire ou non au final ?
