Die SNCF teilte mir heute mir heute mit, dass der von mir gebuchte Zug am Montag wegen Streiks ausfällt und ich meine Tickets ohne Zusatzkosten umtauschen könne. Ich habe ja allerdings nur eine Sitzplatzreservierung über Interrail gekauft und kann diese auf SNCF nicht stornieren (da ich sie ja auch nicht dort gekauft habe). Wie kann ich diese auf Interrail stornieren?

Hi,I made some trips on a Android and wants to copy them to my wifes iPhone. When I open the mail I get the question for “import this trip” and I hit the button. But when I look in the app there is no trip. What do I do wrong?

Hi guys, I am a new Interrail pass user and I am a little confused ahahah I have activated my pass and have a validity date starting in summer. I have added journeys to the ‘my trip’ section of the app. However, I do not understand if I need to add/connect it to my pass (the toggle that turns from grey to orange on the right) at this stage? Or if I just do this the day of/day before the train?I am aware that during peak season you are advised to book reservations for certain trains (separate to the app) but wondered if I don’t add certain journeys to my pass, that this will mean tickets sell/run out too?Also, will seat reservations sell out? As I don’t want to book all of my trains right now but I know roughly which ones I would want to get?! Thank you and happy travels :)

Bonjour, Je suis française et j’aimerai savoir si deux trajets faits dans la même journée dans mon pays d’origine comptent comme un aller ou un aller-retour (dans mon global pass)? J’aimerai rentrer de Londres à Paris et dans la même journée descendre sur Lyon. Il s’agirait de mon allée. Puis mon retour se ferait en fin de voyage je souhaite faire un Bruxelles/Paris, et à nouveau rentrer dans la même journée sur Lyon. Deux voyages en un, mais aurais je déjà épuisé mon aller-retour en faisant (1)Londres/Paris (2)Paris/Lyon  ? Merci à tous pour votre aide !

I found about interrail recently and I want to buy one ticket, my question is:  The one month pass it is calendaristic month or from the moment you start the first trip??Thank you!!

Hello everyone,I'm a first time interrailer and had my first trip (from germany to the uk and back) all planned out when I ran into problems for my trip back due to the announced strikes in great britain.My intended itinerary had me taking a train from Leeds to London on the morning of the 30.3. and then the Eurostar to Paris at 17:31. Since this late train would make getting all the way home quite tight and depending on a lot of connections, so I opted for staying the night in Paris and taking the TGV to Freiburg at 17:25 on the 31.3.I'm travelling with a global pass and have already reserved the Eurostar as well as the TGV.With the now announced strikes I'm unsure how to proceed, as at the moment it looks like there will be a high possibility of no train running on the 30st from Leeds to London (there is no strike timetable yet) so I have no possibility of getting to London in time to get the Eurostar.What possibilities do I have here?I'd

Bonjour,J’espère que vous allez bien. Je voudrais savoir si quelqu’un à déjà été dans ma situation. Au moment de l’achat de mon pass interrail jeune au mois de mai 2022, j’avais 27ans et j’avais donc 11mois pour partir. Je souhaitais partir l’été 2022, mais je n’ai pas pu. Je voulais donc partir en avril 2023, cependant je viens de voir qu’on ne pouvait pas activer son pass si on a plus que 27ans, je me retrouve con et je ne sais pas comment faire. Quelqu’un à déjà été dans la même situation que moi ? Merci de votre aide.Ludovic 

Heyy,I am currently in France for a year abroad (but have my official residence in Germany). Since I want to visit my family in Germany in May and then return after 10 days, I need two train tickets; from France to Germany and back... I was wondering if I might save by buying a global ticket for 4 days of travel within a month....Does anyone know if this would work?After all, I wouldn't be starting in my country of residence..., but I would still meet the requirement of only two travel days through my country of residence....I will be very happy if anyone can give me an answer soon 🫶🏻Kind greetingsAlinaTranslated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Hello, we are a family of 5 hoping to travel from Venice to Rome on Saturday 5th August ideally in the morning. I can't seem to get any results. I know there is some work on the line to Rome in the summer but thought that just affected Night Trains.

HI, I won de discovereu pass and I am solo traveler. I’d like to fin myself some company. Is anyone visiting Prague, Vienna and Budapest during the dates mentiones above.Thanks

Buen día! Disculpen las molestias, pero quisiera saber si hay algún mes entre marzo y sep. en que las ofertas y promociones de Eurail sean mejores (por ejemplo, mayores descuentos que el 15% por temporada de primavera) que convenga esperar para comprar el paquete de  15 días en 2 meses!Muy agradecido! muchas gracias!! (nuestro entusiasmo es mucho, por ello hacemos tantas preguntas!)

I’m from the Uk and am interrailing for a few weeks and then staying in Sweden for a couple of months. This will take me up to the 90 visa free limit. I’m then going to Bulgaria for a month straight from Sweden. I’ve looked online and it says I don’t need a visa because Bulgaria isn’t part of the Schengen area, but I just wanted to confirm this before booking flights etc. 

This is a chronic issue with Interrail staff. Very simply, I cannot fathom how a travel agency can operate with no telephone number, no way of contacting them, no email address. This is at the fringes of legality. All you can do is write to a chatbot that represents the current highest standard in artificial dumbness.Three days trying to get in touch with someone and instead I have to deal with this annoying piece of dumb software that tells me 750 times a day that I have received a confirmation email and a ticket has been created.Can someone send me a phone number or email address? Can I talk to some real person?

Hello,Does anyone have any experience with bike rental in Zürich? I would like to rent a bike and drive through the city and around the river. I would like a electric bike. 

Hello there, I’m a French student in London and I would like to know if there is a pass that could help me do round trips from London to Paris during this whole month? I would like to go to Paris at least twice or 3 times starting in March if it’s possible. Is there any mobile pass that I could buy that’ll allow me to do so? Thanks in advance for your answer! 

I thought I figured it all out… I am travelling with my Interrail Global Pass (mobile) for the first time. My first journey is from Amsterdam to Frankfurt, with ICE 123. In the Netherlands, I have a NS Flex Dal Vrij subscription, which should allow me to travel for free on the Dutch part of the trajectory. I read everything I could find about this, on this forum and on the NS website. So what I did: I added a trip to my pass, manually added a journey to my trip with the ICE 123, starting at Emmerich(Gr), ending in Frankfurt. I brought my NS card but did not check in in Amsterdam. This is how I understand I should do this.However, the NS personnel on the train made me pay a ticket from Amsterdam to Emmerich(Gr), maintaining that I could only travel on my NS Flex subscription without checking in if I had a ticket from Amsterdam to the border station as well. This cost me 61 Euro (1st class). They did not give me a 50 euro fine.Were they right? If so, how co

We live in the UK. We booked and paid for 2 rail tickets with bike spaces (no they do not fold down) from our home town to Newcastle where the ferry to The Netherlands sails from. Then afterwards we bought a 3 month Eurail pass and realised it INCLUDES one trip to port of leaving your home country and one back from port of re-entry in your home country to our home town. I have been to my local rail station and they say there is no issue with giving me a full refund on these tickets - BUT nobody seems to know how to add our bike spaces (2) onto this Eurail pass! They just look blankly at you as it’s not a UK company! Any tips appreciated - I am going to get the money back as it was £122.60!!! Thanks Community…...

Bonjour,Je ne comprends pas ce qui concerne le voyage retour dans le pays de résidence :Comment voyager dans votre pays de résidenceNos Pass ont été conçus pour être aussi flexibles que nos voyageurs. Voilà pourquoi votre Interrail Global Pass est désormais valable dans votre pays de résidence, pour un trajet aller et un trajet retour que vous pourrez effectuer à tout moment pendant vos jours de voyage (les trajets aller et retour ne sont pas considérés comme des jours de voyage supplémentaires). Si plusieurs trajets aller-retour sont prévus, vous pouve
