Using inbound/outbound journeys

Hello, I booked a 7-day pass with my friends. There are three trips between Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic for which I have my tickets shown in yellow on the app.

For the trips in France, where a reservation is mandatory, I bought tickets and received them by email. However, in the app it asks me to check the outbound and return boxes for three journeys where I already purchased the mandatory seat reservation.

What should I do? If I get checked by a ticket inspector, will it be a problem if those boxes are not checked?

 

Thanks

Hi! For your Pass to be valid, each journey needs to be added and activated in your Pass in the app, even if you already have a seat reservation. The reservation alone is not sufficient for travel.

 

The outbound and return journeys refer to the limited trips you can make in your country of residence (one outbound and one return). If those apply to your trip, you’ll need to select them accordingly in the app. You can find more details here: https://www.interrail.eu/en/interrail-passes/interrail-mobile-pass/mobile-pass-faq/how-can-I-travel-in-my-country-of-residence-with-a-global-pass

 

Hope this helps!
