ID number for mobile pass activation not accepted

Hello!My name is Victoire, I purchased some month ago a mobile pass for this month. I didn’t activate it right away but I tried today and did not have a positive outcome… In fact, I followed the whole registration process and it worked out as described until I reached the 3rd and last step, in which one has to activate the pass by entering one´s ID or passport number. I tried many times my ID number (which is not expired), but the Interrail App keeps rejecting it, asking me to try again.I am in a hurry because my departure is in a few days… I have read that it happened to some people, do you know what can I do to solve this problem before my departure ?I am very thankful for every piece of advice!Regards,Victoire

Planning beforehand or leaving it open?

Hey peepz,I recently bought my Ticket and i am not sure if i should fix my trip from the beginning on destinationswise or if i should leave it open?Also i was wondering how the seat Reservation thingy works bc it says in the railplaner that for many trains it is required so I probably can't just jump in every train that I would like to take...?  Its my first time with interrail and I am excited but also would love to hear sth from you to not be totally lost …Thank you a lot in advance 🙏🏼Best wishes, paddy

Taking a night train on last day of Pass validity

Hi,  my pass is valid till the 14th of July. I want to take the nighttrain from Vienna to Amsterdam. If I take this the 14th and thus arrive the 15th, would this be valid? Or should I schedule this one day earlier so that I arrive the 14th in Amsterdam? ps: Interrail is really one of the most unreachable companies ever. Bad bad service!

Why does the planner say that Goerlitz - Dresden hbf is not in the pass network?

Wir wollen mit dem Global Pass von Freiburg aus nach Wien, Bratislava, Krakau, Lodz, Breslau nach Chemnitz. Pässe haben wir gebucht, aber wenn ich Verbindungen von Polen nach Deutschland suche, steht immer "Not included" da. Kann ich diese Tage im eigenen Land nur zum Startort nutzen? Oder woran liegt das? Oder hat jemand noch eine Idee, wie wir ohne extra zu bezahlen von Breslau nach Chemnitz kommen?

Do transits in my home country count as inbound or outbound?

Hi I am planning a trip that goes Paris-Barcelona-Geneva-Amsterdam-Paris on the inter rail 7 days in 1 month pass. My home country is France and I am intending my outbound and inbound to be the Paris legs of the trip. But, I see that  Barcelona-Geneva, and Geneva-Amsterdam all have transits through Lyon in France. Would each layover count as an inbound trip even though I am not intending to travel back to France but as a layover to another country? Would I be able to use the inter rail global pass for this trip?

Small village suport (Spain and France)

Hi guys! I’m planing a trip starting 13 July 2021 to Spain, France and Italy. I’m thinking of geting the global pass. My question is regards to how much flexiblity do I get with trains if I’m going to smaller villages. I’m Planning  on 16 July to Take a train from Barcellona to Carcossone France and then to Paris. (Leave Barcelona early in the morning and spend the day in Carcossone and then get to Paris late at night. Does this seem like a good idea? Will I get flexible times to and from a small city like Carcossone using Eurail? I want to make sure I can get to Carcossone with a cheaper ticket and be there in a good time but also leave Carcossone to get to Paris late at night (which i’m fine with). Thank you guys so much!

Nachtzug

Hi :)Ich habe eine Frage bezüglich der Nachtzüge. Wenn ich einen Nachtzug zb Prag - Kopenhagen nehme der von ca 16:00- 07:00 fährt benötige ich nur einen Reisetag, weil ich nach Mitternacht nicht mehr umsteige, oder?  Was ist aber wenn ich zb von Paris nach Barcelona mit dem Nachtzug gehe der ca von 22:00 - 10:00 fährt und ich dann umsteigen muss  und nochmals 3Stunden fahren muss? gilt dass dann als 2 Reisetage, weil ich nach Mitternacht umgestiegen bin? Oder nur als 1 weil es als eine Verbindung angezeigt wird?  eine schnelle Antwort wäre super! Danke Hi :) I have a question regarding night trains. If I take a night train e.g. Prague - Copenhagen which runs from 16:00 - 07:00 I only need one travel day because I don't change trains after midnight, right?  But what if I take the night train from Paris to Barcelona that runs from about 22:00 - 10:00 and then I have to change trains and travel another 3 hours? does that count as 2 travel days because I changed trains after midnight?

How would it work if the country of residence, like the Netherlands, has electronic gates when you exit the station and return later to catch the next train?

It is stated on the web that the global pass can be used to travel in one’s country of residence during 1 outbound and 1 inbound trip per travel day. I have some questions about the technicality. The “Travel Diary” example lists “Brighton-London St Pan” as an example for the in/outbounds. This is strange in itself, since they are both in the same country, UK/England. In the case someone wants to travel from Station A1 to Station B, via Station A2 in the same country as Station A1, and it is the country of residence → Does he/she have to write A1 - A2 then A2-B separately in the “My Trip” section, or just “A1 - B”? Can the holder exit station A2 in the process and return later to catch the next train to Station B? If the answer is yes, how it would work if the country of residence, like the Netherlands, has electronic gates? Will exiting Station A2 accidentally be counted as doing a trip inside one’s country of residence and thus violating the rules?

While buying the pass : choosing th 1st day of travel

Hello,I am totally new here, I am trying to buy the 7days of trip in a month global paper pass, but when I fill all the info just before paying, they ask to choose for the 1st day of trip. Howerver I don’t know it yet (it just know i want to travel during this august). Is it possible not to choose it yet or can I just put a random day and change it later ? I though we didn’t have to choose right away ?Thank you for your help,Éno

direct travel on travel day

Hello! I have a question about a global pass. On a travel day how much of a detour can I take from one destination to another? For example: I want to travel from The Hague to Rotterdam, can I take a detour through Amsterdam? Thank you for your answer in advance.
