Eurail & Interrail Passes

Just for information - it turns out that while vy.no have cool new recliner seat/beds on their sleepers they are not included in the Interrail scheme so you have to book them at full price.With a 1st class pass at least - you can book a sleeper for 1000 NOK as a flat fee.  this is good value.  Or you can book a seat for free.  Also good value, if not optimal for an overnight journey.On the leg that I wanted to book today there were no sleepers left so I asked about the lie-flat beds and the price would have been 1,949 NOK as they are not included in the scheme.I reckon this is probably just because the agreement hasn’t been updated as it makes no sense for 2 classes of travel to be bookable, but the 3rd one to be not bookable.

Hey all,As I understand, we have 2 inbound/outbound trips from our home country. However, in the Rail Planner app, I see that I have 3 days available. (I used 1 outbound journey and it shows 1/3)Has it been increased to 3, or is it a bug with the app?Thanks in advance!  

Do i need a pass for my 14 year old daughter as we mainly travel tgrough Germany? She would normaly travel for free when accompanied by an adult, but does that also aply, when i have an interrail card?No use bying her a card for som €200,- while she could travel for free.  

Bonjour, Je voulais poser quelques questions vis-à-vis du pass, et je n’arrive pas à trouver de réponses spécifiques à mes questions. J’ai reçu le pass pour aller en allemagne pendant 7j offert par le gouvernement. Sachant que je veux aller en allemagne du 25 au 31 juillet (7j), je voudrais savoir si je pouvais par exemple emprunter un train à Europapark le 31 juillet soir et revenir dans ma ville d’origine française le lendemain matin. Ce qui fait que je prend le train le 31 juillet mais que je dépasse ce jour-là durant mon trajet. Comment cela est-il compris dans le trajet ? Si c’est bon faut-il toujours rester dans le même train, ou puis-je changer lors d’une correspondance durant la nuit du 31 juillet au 1er aout ?Je vous remercie pour vos réponses. Bonne journée, Alexis

Hello, we are on our way from Duisburg to Berlin on a ICE train (with seat reservations). We have a interrail global pass 1st class. Just now the ticketinspector told us this ticket is not valid on ICE products but only IC and lower class products.  we traveled before by ICE train and never had any problem. Is it true interrail is not valid?kind regards, Robin Cremers 

Ho dovuto chiedere il rimborso del mio pass, qualcuno sa dirmi in quanto tempo verrà emesso il rimborso? Ho ricevuto la mail di conferma del rimborso 

Hii,I’m an Italian traveller and I have a question on how to travel in your own country: on the website i found that “you can use one travel day to leave your country of residence (outbound journey) and one travel day to return (inbound journey)”. But that’s my question: We strart our journey from Milan and we want to reach Munich, but we have to change train in Verona. Can we do this thing or we can only book one train? 

I bought a 15 day Interrail Global Pass with unlimited rides. Unfortunately, I made a mistake when entering the time period of my trip when creating my passport in the app and only entered a period of 14 days. Now it is also displayed to me that my ticket would expire after 14 days. How can I set the period and thus the validity of my ticket to 15 days?     

I went to book a seat reservation from Vienna to Krakow and it wants me to pay $10 to send a paper copy to my home address which is pointless as I am already in Europe, is there a way I can get it emailed to me instead and avoid paying the $10. I have booked seat reservations in the past and haven’t had this issue 

HelloI have 4 passes on my old phone and want to transfer them to a new device. They have not been activated. I have read lots of your wonderful advice so feel confident that I can do this. However if I do this will 'My Trip' be visible on the new phone or will I have to do all that again?Thank you lovely travellers 

Since the website says the 6-Day pass is a “paper pass”, I’m wondering if I will get hassle at the Greek ticket/ferry stations for using the mobile app to collect my tickets and board the ferries. If anyone has experience or can speak on whether I should be fine to collect my tickets at the Greek ferry stations with just the app and online reservations, would appreciate your help!  

Hello everyone, please some of you nice people can help me to understand how does it works?Supposing I buy a 5 day pass.And the first journey is A multiple connections trip, like 4 trains including night ones, and some offers single bedroom cabins. Is that all included in the pass or do I have to pay more?Thank you

I am traveling tomorrow from Munich (Pasing) to Rotterdam (Centraal). The journey is 8h 18min long with 3 change-overs. I am using Eurail Global Pass for my journey and it does not shoes need for any reservation:Munchen-Pasing to Duesseldorf Hbf - 0837 to 1310 Duesseldorf Hbf to Arnhem Centraal - 1326 to 1513 Arnhem Centraal to Utrecht Centraal - 1532 to 1607 Utrecht Centraal to Rotterdam Centraal - 1618 to 1655I wanted to ask:Should I follow the default route being given by RailPlanner app or is there a alternate/better route available? Is there a requirement to reserve seat for any leg of my  journey?

Hi all!I know there is one inbound and one outbound journey for the global passes, but I’m in a very tricky situation. I live in Belgium and would go to Amsterdam, from there take the Eurostar to London that crosses Belgium. For the eurostar you can not buy separate tickets to travel in Belgium without interrail as far as I know.Would this be allowed or do I need to go around Belgium through Germany to take the Eurostar or travel through Belgium with regular trains, which kind of defeats taking the Eurostar from Amsterdam.Thanks for any answers!

Hello there! Im going interrailing for the first time this summer and was curious how the interrailpass works with the public transit in foreign countries. I’ve heard from some people that it works as a pass for public transport such as intercity busses and short train rides while from others ive heard the opposite. I wanted to ask you guys to see what actually is allowed and what isn’t. Thank you all for the help!

I bought a 10 day in 2 months global pass through renfe with the 50% discount the currently offer to spanish citizens and residents. However, I am in the Netherlands, so the pass had to be received by my parents and sent through post to my residence here. The Spanish postal service however has once again shown its wonderful ability and lost the envelope. I have reservations to travel on Monday, but I won’t have my physical pass. I have pictures, and I have my ID. I also have the reservations tickets. Can I still travel with these things? Is there a way I can cancel the physical pass and use the app since it is an emergency? Is there a way to get a new global pass in such a short amount of time?Thank you!

I am traveling from Amsterdam (Centraal) to Copenhagen (Taasrup) tomorrow (30 June 2023), with train leaving from Amsterdam at 1710 hrs. My route will be as follows (I have reserved the seats):- Amsterdam Centraal to Osnabruck hbf - 17:10 - 20:54- Osnabruck hbf to Hamburg hbf - 21:23 - 23:16- Hamburg hbf to Hoeje Taasrup - 23:56 to 06:49Now, as I would be starting my journey on 30th June & arriving at Destination on morning of 1st July, would I be required to use 2 'Travel Days' ??In case of only 1, my Eurail will be showing as 'un-activated', if anyone comes to check the ticket/reservation at 00:01?? How to handle that?

Hi guys,I am traveling for my outbound journey from Berlin and I need to arrive on that same day in Nantes (France). However, to do so, I need to stop by Paris to take a last train (Paris to Nantes). Will my pass work or will it stop as soon as I arrive to Paris from Cologne, as France is my country of residence?Many thanks!!! 

Hi community, I have Eurail Italy pass and I would like to know if I can board bernina express from st.mortiz to Tirano. I already made the seat reservation but not sure if my Eurail Italy pass covers the ticket. From Eurail app it did let me get the ticket but unsure if this is valid. Does anyone have experience traveling on Bernina using Eurail Italy pass.

Hi,I have misplaced my Eurail pass while traveling and I'm unsure of the next steps to take. I need advice on what to do in this situation, such as reporting the loss, obtaining a replacement pass, and any potential costs involved. Any recommendations or insights from others who have dealt with a similar issue would be incredibly helpful!

Good morning,I am French and I would like to buy an interrail pass with restaurant tickets "ANCV connect" which are computer tickets.On the interrail website this is not possible.I went to a small station in France and I didn’t succeed either.Please help me ! Bonjour,Je suis français et je voudrais acheter un pass interrail avec des billets de restaurant "ANCV connect" qui sont des billets d’ordinateur.Sur le site d’interrail, ce n’est pas possible.Je suis allé dans une petite station en France et je n’ai pas réussi non plus.S’il vous plaît aidez-moi !

I bought a mobile pass and but entered the wrong validity period. Unfortunately, the validity period has now started but I am not going to be able to use any travel days from this. Is there any way I can still change this (the dates should fall a month later)? Or possibly refund (I did not buy Plus)?

Hello,I'm going on my first solo trip and I want to go to Oslo, Norway by train from Nantes, France. However, I can't figure out how the interrail site works and I'm afraid I might be making a mistake. I have the impression that I have to buy the 4-day pass for 1 month for 194 euros and that I have to pay extra to book the seats on the trains (I'm changing trains 6 times).Except that I'm leaving on 5 July, in barely a week's time. And I know that you often have to book seats in advance, so I'm afraid there won't be any left. So I'm hesitating whether to buy the pass and take the plane instead (which is really the worst case scenario, because I don't want to). If I buy the pass, am I sure I'll be able to go to Oslo with it next week? Because I can’t book a seat without having bought a pass.Thank you in advance for your reply. :)All the best,Marion

Can I use the one country pass for France to travel from France to the Netherlands (where I live)?
