Hi,Anyone please help me to understand if I have followed the exchange process properly.I am from India. I entered Germany on visa. I wanted to visit Paris but by mistake I purchased one country pass instead of global pass and activated it with travel date 18th May. When i realised it, I deactivated the pass. I purchased a global pass and submitted an application to eurail team for exchange just now at 3:00 AM BB on 17th may. so if im right 18th May is not started. Im eligible for exchange refund and all process followed properly  thanks for your help in advance. regards,rajnish k Srivastava 

Hello,I found that the seat reservation on TGV from Nice to Marseille is cheaper for a 1st class reservation than for a 2nd class reservation for Eurail 2nd class pass holders. Is this correct?Screenshot 1 - price  Screenshot 2 - Conditions On the screenshot 2, it says “Pass Eurail Upgrade (AE) - 1st class”.. and goes onto say, “...valid if used in conjunction with a 2nd class Eurail pass….”Am I reading this correct? Is this a valid ticket? It confuses me because the first class ticket is cheaper than the 2nd class ticket.

Does anyone know if there is/are Chinese Version of Eurail Rail Planner App?

I’m planning to take the boat from igoumenitsa to Bari on the night of the 19th of July. My issue is that the site says they depart at 23:59 which is 1 minute before midnight. Does the 19th of July still count as the travel day for the boat or can you just take the 20th as a travel day and combine it with the trains I’m taking later that day? Would love to hear some advice!

Hey guys,I’m looking forward to using Interrail for the first time. When looking for my return trip home, I noticed that one particular train is not shown on the Rail Planner app and via interrail.eu while it appears on bahn.de and trenitalia.com.On June 11, I want to travel from Florence to Frankfurt (M). The second part of the journey (EC 52 from Milano Centrale to Frankfurt (M) Hbf) is shown as it should be and I can book a reservation. But to get from Florence to Milano, Interrail doesn’t show FR 9512 at 8:55 AM, but only FR 9304 at 9:10 to Milano Rogoredo which will not allow me to catch EC 52 at 10:20 at Milano Centrale.Is there any way to “find” FR 9512 here or, alternatively, how can I book a reservation for this train (trenitalia.com seems to offer no “reservation only” option)?Thanks in advance :)

Hello,Eurail.com website says Marseille to Paris TGV train reservations can be done on https://www.b-europe.com/, however, that site does not seem to allow Eurail passes to be used for Marseille to Paris train reservations. Strangely, it allows ticket purchases for that sector. Below is a screenshot when I try to enter “Marseille” -- it doesn’t even recognise.URL: https://www.b-europe.com/EN/Booking/Pass#TravelWish  Are there any websites that I can book this reservation?

My order number is R2023384688 and PNR: S7BJGN reserved tow(2) person from Roma to Milano dated on 13/08/2023. Our seats are reserved as 7A and 7C automatically. I request to change the seats side by side as like 7A & 7B wiht forward direction.

Hi, my son is using interrail and will arrive next Thursday in Budapest. From Budapest he wants to travel to Greece but he can't find any trains. If I look at all the questions in this community  regarding Greece, there seem/seemed to go no (international) trains to and from Greece. What are the available options for him if he still wants to visit Greece? Best regards,Marcel  

Hello, I am planning a trip to Sweden this summer. For that i intend to buy a global pass with 5 travel days within one month. The interrail website states that it is not possible to take a nighttrain on the last day that the pass is valid. However, if my pass is valid for example from the first of July to the first of August, but the 23rd of July is already my fifth travel day, is it then allowed to take a nighttrain from 23rd to 24th of July and basically drive on 6 days? Theoratically the pass is still valid on that day but Im out of travel days…Thanks for helping

Hi, New to the forum, but have ‘done’ a couple of Interrail trips in the past couple of years. Am going to be travelling from Copenhagen to Hamburg and then onto Nuremberg on 26 August. As I understand, seat reservations are compulsory on the direct trains between Copenhagen and Hamburg in the summer months, and these are extremely popular with demand outstripping supply, so I’m keen to book the seats asap. I note seat reservations aren’t yet available on the DSB website. Bahn.de, however, is showing services for that day and is suggesting a change at Fredericia. The Interrail website says the same thing, adding that reservations are optional.  Is this correct? I note looking at dates before 26 August trains are terminating at Hamburg Altona, so I’m wondering if there are engineering works that day that mean the direct trains cannot run? Thanks in advance for your help.

It‘s very expensive to make a reservation from Paris to London. Can I avoid this?

Hello,I live in the UK but in order to get the most out of my pass, I’m wondering whether to just take the Eurostar to Belgium with an ordinary Eurostar ticket (ie not the pass) and then start using the pass in Belgium. I’m also not sure that I want to do a round trip which returns to my country of residence - can I do this or does my final travel day have to be back to my country of residence? Thanks

Hi, I received an email 2 days ago that my train 9552 TGV, Mannheim to Paris was cancelled because of the strike. Is there any chance of it being reinstated since the strike was called off, or should I find a new train?Thank you Steve Trizis

Hi, I plan to travel from Thessaloniki to Budapest with kid. As i can’t find out which is the best and most secure route to travel from Greece to Hungary.. It would be great to travel by a night train!….i would like to read your advices or propositions. thanks 

We are flying into Lamezia (SUF) in September and are going on to Messina by train. We do have a Rail Pass.  I know we have to to take a bus from the airport to Lamezia Centrale and then board the train to Messina. I am confused about what happens when we get Villa San Giovanni. Does the train then go on the ferry and we end up in Messina Centrale or does the train journey end in Villa San Giovanni and we have to make our way to the ferry port and pay to board the ferry and get off in Messina Maritima? Can someone please clear up my confusion over this matter. 

I was just I formed by nightjet that Germany will be going on strike from 2000 GMT on Sunday (May 14) until at 2200 GMT on Tuesday (May 16).  This is during the window in which we are traveling via train to Germany and then on to the Netherlands.  They did not say that our tickets were cancelled, just that I should postpone my travel.  Is that the same as canceling my ticket or will they still have limited service and I should continue as planned?  As for postponing that is not possible, we are on holiday travel and will need to get back to the Netherlands to catch a flight. How should I proceed?
