Hello,I have a 15 days within 2 month interrail and i am planning on splitting it up across 2 trips, a 5 day trip and a 10 day trip. However, for the 5 day trip i am planning on flying out so i wont be using my outbound journey in my country of residence. Although, for my 10 day trip i am planning on travelling in my country of residence from Liverpool down to London, therefore using my outbound journey then, is this possible? As i am unsure whether the outbound journey means only at the start of your 15 days or if your able to use it after the interrail has already started. Thank you all in advance.

In july i want to travel from Bergen to Oslo. I need a seat reservation. If i want a paper version i can ask to send it to my accomodation. This doesnt seem comfortable to me. I'd like an email reservation and print it out at home or show it on my ipad. Is that possible? Or do i have to pay 9€ extra for shipping?

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 name is Letizia. I am an italian girl from Milan who is planning to do the interrail in the first weeks of august (roughly from July 28th to August 14th). I dont have a defined plan yet and unfortunately my parents are a bit reclutant to let me embark on this journey all alone, so i’m posting this in the hope of finding someone else to share the journey with (even in a partial way). if there is anyone who happens to be leaving or passing through Milan and would like to visit Eastern Europe, feel free to reply to me here or on insta @letiziaachinello. Thanks and have a great day!

Because my wife can’t fly, we want to get the train from London to milan. Leave 31/8/25 and return 14/9/25. I’ve tried to look on the site but am struggling to find the options I want. I don’t know which type of pass I need for the trip. Needs to be a direct route as well, as we are going to tour Italy by car in between.

Ik ga vanuit london naar harwich ,boot vertrekt om 23 uur om 8 uur in hoek van holland naar Rotterdam centraal en dan naar huis .Wordt aangegeven dat zijn 2 in reis dagen,dat klopt toch niet.Wie weet een oplossing.

hello everyone  my wife and I are flying into Lamezia on 21 September and will then take the Frecciarossa to Messina leaving Lamezia Centrale at 1730, train #9583. My question is this: does the train go to Messina or do we have get off the train in Villa San Giovanni and make our own way to the ferry port? We do have a rail pass. When I was looking for trains to add to our trip, I entered Messina Centrale and this train came up as going to Messina. Does it really go to Messina?

Hi, my name is Ginevra. I’m an Italian journalist and a big fan of Interrail.Together with a friend, I’m planning a trip for next spring, and I’d love to hear from you.I’m also gathering ideas for an article on this topic, so I’d really appreciate your stories and insights.Have any of you travelled around Europe with Interrail? Where did you go? How was the experience? What do you think is the real added value of a journey like this? What did it give you — and what did it leave behind? Do you feel different or changed after the trip? Do you think Interrail is an effective way to get to know Europe and Europeans better?I’d love to hear your stories! 

We have been travelling around Europe for the past fortnight using our Eurail pass.  We’d booked the seats through Rail Europe and added each leg to the Eurail app with no issues, and toggled the trip as active when required.  We’re travelling from Paris to London this Friday and have booked our seats through Eurostar, received the confirmation email and printed a paper ticket etc.  Our ticket advises the train is #9023 with departure at 11.02.  I’d previously searched for this on the Eurail site but couldn’t find a corresponding train.  Based on this community I found someone mentioned a bug in the system which lists trains around 30 mins earlier than  what the ticket states.  If that is still the case, if I see the #9023 train listed in the app at “approx” 30 mins earlier than 11.02am - is this definitely the train to link on the Eurail account - and therefore toggle on tFriday?  I’m worried I will add (and possibly board) the wrong train by “assuming” my train is the one that’s l

Some seat reservations can’t be made in the interrail app. They refer me to int.bahn.de but there it’s not possible to connect the interrail-pass to the reservations so we would’nt get any discounts. I am super stressed and feel like this needs to be done before all the tickets are sold out. HOW DO I CONNECT MY PASS TO INT.BAHN.DE. Please help!!

My wife and I have a Eurail pass. we need seat reservations for our last day of travel June 2nd from Bruges to Amsterdam. Preferably later morning. OBB was the only website I could find, but you have to print passes in Austria

Hi there, I am travelling to Europe in April 2026 and I have already purchased my Global Pass and planned my trip.  I am trying to book reservations on the trips that require them but I an unable to book such reservations.  Is there currently an issue with booking reservations that I am not aware of?Thanks

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've made train reservations on the Rail Europe platform using my interrail pass number. I received the tickets as pdf's. Can I add them to the Interrail app? If not what to do when travelling ? Print the tickets and activate the travelling day as a 'use day' in the app ? Thanks for your support,  Rob

Hi all, We’re travelling from San Sebastian to Madrid at the end of July - when I input SS to Madrid into the interrail seat reservation query, it takes me via Valladolid and on to Madrid-Chamartin - the first leg of which to Valladolid can be booked online, the second leg of which can’t be (says it has to be booked at a train station in Spain).However, I realised that the first train to Valladolid actually terminates in Madrid-Principe Pio - so then if I specify Madrid Principe Pio in the search engine, I can get all the way to Madrid direct (on a very slow train!) and can book seat reservations for the whole journey.My question is - is there a reason why it didn’t just send me to Principe Pio in the first place? Can anyone recommend a better (faster) way to get between SS and Madrid, and if so, what’s the best way to book seat reservations if they can’t be done online? Thanks, ‘Helen  

Hi travellers, I have selected today as a travel day with my son and have tried to add my trip from the planner / my trip to the pass, but it doesn‘t work.  I have selected several trains, added connections manually and it still doesn‘t work. Spent hours with this now and I‘m travelling today and also have reserved seats. Tried to ask costumer service, but from the autom.generated mail I see it can take up to 3 days to get an answer :(. Can I still travel and explain to the conducteur? What would you do?

Nowadays we give each other service, while no direct service communication is offered by the interrail organization. How can I reach them, by phone or e-mail?Ok, my case:I bought an Interrail pass, 7 days whitin 1 Month (October).  I used 6 days and want to travel my last day 7. Via the app I read: ”No travel days left. It looks like you used all your travel days. You’ll need to buy a separate ticket to make this journey”. And the I can only press the yellow button that says “GOT IT”  This while I don’t get it:  I paid for 7 days in this month and have 1 more to go. If I cannot activate my day 7, wich will be in 2 days from now, I will be in trouble as the controller will ll find me in the train without QR code.What to do?

Hello Interrailers, It seems like the app does not want to show the travel possibilities on the 13th of December, at least for the journey I am planning to take - Copenhagen Central station to Brussels Central station.Is it a glitch or do other people have the same issue?Thanks for the help! 😁Oriane
