Country of residence not same as passport

Hi there. We are Swedish citizens and live in Germany. When we bought our passes I put in Germany as country of residence. Our trip starts in Berlin, then down to France and we’re supposed to end in Sweden (traveling through Germany). Is this possible?

Time zone problem (UK)

Hello everyone, I am soon gonna be starting my journey, but I have a question about the different time zones.As you can see, I will be starting in Brussels.The second train departures at 12:03 which would be too early for me. But there is the different time zone in the UK so is 11:57 the local time?I am sorry if my questions sounds a bit dump, but I am still exploring the Interrail app and I did not find anything about it on the Internet.Thanks in advance!Anna

Eurail or Interrail? Resident of Europe but USA passport

Hello! I have a US passport but a German residence permit. I would prefer to buy a Eurail ticket over an Interrail ticket, but the terms and conditions have been unclear if that’s allowed, as I am a non-European citizen but a European resident. Could someone clarify the rules for me? Thanks!

Traveling out of your home country

Before I can choose which pass I need to buy, I was wondering if the first travel from your home country to the first city and the travel back to your home country counts as traveling days. In other words, if I want to visit 5 cities, do I need the pass for 5 traveling days or the pass for 7 traveling days?

Travel days

Hi guys! I’m planning to start my route in Rijeka and first travel to Amsterdam which is 23 hours long. I’m wondering does it use more than one travel day off my ticket to travel there? I have to take 3-4 different trains during those 23 hours to get there?

Itinerary

I have now fixed my Itinerary for Europe as hectic as it goes but this is the best we can do in the space we have seeing all the things we want to see and meeting my son in Rome through to KrakowThe parts not mentioned lon -rome & venice to krakow & Krakow to Munich are flightsWe have set rail journeys we wish to take and here they are below.What i would like to know is apart from Duss to Paris on Thalys and Paris to London on Eurostar ,  do any of these other trips need mandatory reservations on top of the seat cost.I am currently working out if individual train journey tickets for 1 adult and  2 youths 25 and under will cost more than say a 4/6/7 day Eu rail pass. plus any extra like Eurostar reservationThe part i am unsure of is if i get a EU rail pass and apart from the two journeys mentioned above are reservations mandatory if i buy EU rail or not. Does buying a Eu rail pass mean we have to buy reservations for every trip[ Dusseldorf Paris 26th Dec   Paris L

Which bus rides are included in the Interrail ticket?

Hello everyone, at the moment I don’t understand which bus rides are free for me to use and which are not. Can I add a random bus route to “My Trip” for example in Cornwall, UK? The ride is not available in the app, but could I simply add it manually? There is sometimes no train available, so I am supposed to take the bus.Thank you for your help in advance!Anna

Purchasing a Pass

I am ready to purchase an Eurail pass and would like to verify if the phone number I enter at the time of purchase matters. I currently have a Canadian phone #, however will be getting an European phone # once I get to Europe. Will I be able to activate the Eurail pass with the European phone # when I get there, or will I have to use my Canadian phone #, which I will use at time of purchase? Thanks in advance!

I do not understand how the France-Germany pass works

Hello everyone !  I can’t figure out how the France-Germany pass works.Me and my friend want to travel from Lille to Berlin. There is a 22euros fee to book a ticket as seat reservation.  My question is, is these 22 euros for choosing your seat, or to go into the train ?  Now I have another question. If you book in the Eurail app, do you consider you have a ticket or you have to book it somewhere else ?   thank you in advance

Train Connections in the Rail Planner app

I hope this is okay to ask here.I have a new phone and am moving my plans for Interrail from old phone. I have the rail planner app but no way to transfer planned trips, so am starting again.I had a trip planned from Vilnius to Bialystok on 23rd August. After doing research it seemed this train now ran daily at 12.10, and changing in Mockava.I can not find that journey in the app now and am getting concerned after making reservations.I am wondering if there might be an issue with the app. I added in the via Mockava and I get returns on the journey but all are dated July 6th. A list of 5 journeys, all that date.I tried searching Vilnius to Mockava - thinking I’d split the journey - and get a list of 5 returns, all dated 6th July. I have checked with PKP and this journey exists. Even if that journey had been removed from the pass it would still show? Something up with the app? I’ve asked on twitter but have had no answers.

Supplement required Rome to Klagenfurt

I’ll be heading from Rome to Klagenfurt via Venice. Interrail is telling me that I need to pay €10 supplement fee (2nd class) for the second leg from Venice to Klagenfurt. Upon further reading about supplement fee, it seems that I can pay for seat reservation (€5,5) and it includes the €10 supplement fee. From Interrail websiteMy question is, does this seat reservation (which is optional) include the supplement, or will I still have to pay the €10 supplement fee? Anyone encounter this before?

what is if i live in the middle of a country and need at least two trains to leave it?

Hi everyone, My friend and I have a small problem and are wondering if you guys can help. We both live in the middle of Germany and therefore need to change trains in order to leave the country and to come back. Is that possible to change trains in our own country ? For example, we live in Halle Saale and we need to go to Munich before we can leave the country to Vienna is that even possible with Interrail? Can we use one of our travel days for that? Can someone please explain that to us? Thanks so much isa xx

Non-national resident of UK, do I need a interrail or Eurail Pass?

Hi all, I am planning to Intrerrail for a month in Europe and I have few questions that has kept me confused therefore coming to you for help. I am a Non-national resident of UK, have been granted a refugee status in the UK and have travel document. I am planning to go to Austria, Switzerland and Italy. Only Austria that I need visa for. My questions are: Should I get a Interail or Eurail pass as a resident of UK?  Does UK still count as Europe for Interail? If not, will Global pass give me access to travel from London to Europe and then back?  If you have a travel document and have visited to these countries, please feel free to share your experience with the interail etc. Looking forward to hear and thanks so much in advance! A

One Night on a Sleeper (Dresden to Zurich)... only on a Global Pass??? Bernina Express??

I’m looking to get around small distances over just a week or so.  Successfully did more than two months last year with a Eurail pass for the two of us, but different mode of travel this time… so all I want is to get from Milan to Verona to St Moritz to Leipzig, to Dresden and back to Leipzig to get the overnight train to Zuirch. *over 7 days* Is it worth getting a rail pass, if I can’t get a seven day pass for the overnighter…  What about the Berlina Express?  Ta

Guidance Required - Munchen - Innsbruck - Milano

I have to reserve seats on a train starting from Munchen hbf to Innsbruck, have a 1-2 hours stay at Innsbruck (for slight sight seeing), and then finally move to Milano Centrale, on 7th July (morning). So just wanted to confirm,- if I only needed to select the 'seat reservation (no ticket)' option for buying the mandatory seat reservation from Innsbruck to Verona?- is there a better option for covering my route?
