Eurail & Interrail Passes

Hi evryone,I’m trying to plan my trip but I’ve come to an empasse: if I want to visit 8 cities with a 7 days pass, am I allowed to start from a different city than the last one where I got using a ticket booked with the pass?Thank you for your help,Laapo!

I will be traveling with my wife and two children this Summer.  What is the best way to handle tickets/passes?  I have the Rail Planner app on my phone and passes for each person.  It seems like I need to create one trip per pass? Also, is a “trip” one train ride or can the entire three week visit be a “trip”? Thank you.

Hi, just wondering how far in advance the trains are planned and how set in stone it is? For example, I’m looking at going from Interlaken at about 8am to Milan from 11am - 3pm and then off to Rome after that on the same day (about 4 hours on each train if you book in May), but it will not show this same thing when looking at the dates in late June and July. Sometimes it does not come up at all, other times it may say 13 hours? Does anyone know why this is? Will this route not be available if I travel in summer?

hi there, I have purchased the flexi 5 day global pass. My route is London - Paris - Lyon - Sion - Venice - FlorenceMy question is, although i got a global pass for visiting different countries, 2/5 trips will be inter country (Paris - Lyon & Venice - Florence) does this still take up my travel day?

Hi Rookie here from NZThank you in advance for your time.I’ve bought 4 passes 1 adult, 1 senior 2 x youth.  Youth are 16 and 13.  Is it better to have all 4 passes on my device? If husband puts pass / app on his device how do I share the bookings with him? Likewise with the teenagers?  Would you also have the teenagers have the passes on their phones  or on my phone?  Is there a way he doesn’t have to sit and input all the journeys too? Also if I have the passes on different devices how do I make sure we are all sat together when I book seat reservations.   Finally do stations have ticket security barriers? How does this work if we are all on one device?  Is there a separate gate we need to go to?   I appreciate your advice.  Thanks from a Kiwi

Does anybody have any information/experience/perceptions of if the availability of passholder tickets will be impacted by the current capacity issues on Eurostar? 

Hello! I bought an interrail Global Pass Promo Youth on 11th of MAY 2022.I know that i must activate the pass by the 11th of APRIL 2023, but do I also have to START MY TRIP?Am I "obliged" to travel up to the 11th of MAY 2023 or can I travel beyond?Thanks so much!

Hi everyone,I’m planning for my last day of my Interail Global Pass to go from Copenhagen to Paris next June.The best trip I found out is leaving Copenhagen at 6:56 with 3 short transfers:One in Fredericia st. : 7 minutes One in Hamburg Hbf : 19 minutes One in Mannheim Hbf : 11 minutes to get the TGV at 17:38 (I have a booking)My question is: in case I would miss the last connection in Mannheim, because of train delays, can I take the following ICE train at 19:40 without reservation? It is important for me to know as it will my last pass day. Do you think that this trip, although officialy proposed by DB on their website, with short connections is unrealistic? Thank you for your advices

I have my app on my phone all set up and ready to activate closer to the date of travel. I have added my proposed journeys into My Trip and booked and printed seat reservations where they are needed.My question is I can’t see the grey switch to toggle when I want to add the journey to my pass. Will this only appear once I have activated my pass?Am I right that on the day of travel I flick the toggle switch to yellow to generate the QR code for all journeys on that particular day?Thank you in advance for your answers! As an older lady it is sometimes difficult to get your head around this stuff!

Hello, I would like to make sure I understand the Interrail day system ! I've drawn a trip I'd like to make and the calculator predicts 8 days of travel. I live in Clermont Ferrand, so I would only take the train 7 times to get home when I read the map. Why does the system advise me a minimum of 8 days ?Best,

Dear mermbers, While trying to make a reservation from Berlin to copenhagen with Seat only (no ticket), in DB Bahn site, it mention the following information.Could you please tell me know what does it mean ? Is EURAIL not concerned and cannot make reservation ?......................quotation ................…What important things should I know about seat reservations?When is a reservation included in my ticket free of charge? Integrated seat reservation cannot be provided for offers that are not based on a timetable (e.g. RIT or Rail&Fly, Good for Train, Interrail, Eurail, etc.).ICE Sprinter and night train services are also not included. ...........End....................… Thank you

I wonder if you can access all the trains with the global interrail pass or just those on the map?THANKS

Hallo, ich hab mir zwar schon einige Beiträge hier im Forum dazu durchgelesen, aber so richtig verstanden habe ich es trotzdem nicht. Und zwar habe ich meinen Pass jetzt schon aktiviert. Allerdings überlege ich mir eventuell vor Reisebeginn ein neues Handy zuzulegen (zwecks besserer Kamera etc.). Jetzt stellt sich mir aber die Frage, ob (und wenn ja wie) ich den Pass auf meinem neuen Handy wieder aktiviert bekomme. Der Reisezeitraum hat natürlich noch nicht bekommen und wenn ich im Pass selbst oben auf die drei Punkte gehe, wird mir die Möglichkeit des Dealtivierens angezeigt, als auch den Pass auf ein anderes Gerät zu verschieben. Geht das darüber oder muss ich den Pass über einen anderen Weg verschieben? Ich danke schonmal für eine Antwort! :)

Hello travelers!If I choose a one country pass (like Italy, for example) is it possible during one day of travel to only cross a country like Switzerland? Because I'm living in Dijon and to join Venice, I have to cross Switzerland.Thank you in advance :)

Higlobal pass can be used to get benefits or offers in many services. my question is, 'would using the pass to get such benefits be considered using the pass one day. for example, if I have a 5 day pass and use it only for benefits any of the days, does it mean that day is considered one of 5 days?’ thanks in advance

Hello!I have a question about my 4 day interrail ticket!!Ive been wondering;If my night train starts at 6pm and arrives at 4am the next day. Does the journey count as 1 or 2 traveldays??thanks, Madita 

I have created two trips wtth 2 different passes as the app would not let me link 2 passes to the same trip.

Confused about the use of trips. I have a  2 month pass and have created a trip which I intend to share with my wife. However, I intend to make another shorter trip independently; the app has a + feature for multiple trips, but will not allow me to connect the new trip to my pass ( only option is connect to paper pass?). What is going on? Can I create and connect multiple trips in app or not?

Hi, i‘d like to take a trip to London. Now there are 2 posible Trains from Paris to London. If we get the first one, it would be fabulous, because the second would be very stressful to get our appointment in London. Now is there a option to do a seat reservation in both of the Trains, and get the one unneeded canceled?Thanks for respond.
