Interlaken to Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald now covered (?)

Hello guys.I’m planning my first trip to Europe early April next year, and will stay some days on Switzerland as well. I’ve been researching a lot since I’ve made the decision to go, and, by the looks of my Eurail timetable search here, it seems that the connections between Interlaken and Lauterbrunnen/Grindelwald are now covered. Still wondering whether I might be misreading something here.Even the Gruetschalp up to Murren seems covered as well (although getting from Lauterbrunnen to Gruetschalp still seems to require separated ticket though).

Best Pass suitable for my travel plan and how to buy it

Hello Eurail community experts,Thank you for spending time to support us newbies.I have a travel plan for around Europe with my family, we live in Australia.The plan is to land in Spain, and travel around most of the highlights in Europe and depart after a months from Rome back home.the plan includes travel between countries and stay 2 to 3 nights in each of capital cities or other highlight cities.I have counted 14 travels from one city to another can be between 2 counties or both in the same country, for example from Barcelona to Paris, or Vienna to Salzburg to Interlaken.which Pass Should I purchase and how in this case and if  in case I have to extend for another 3 to 4 days, then which Pass?Does Global Pass cover intercity public transport as well? Or not?thank you for your time and support.Alex

Question about Home Country

Hello.Me and my wife are originally from Turkey but we are in Germany for 6 months. We are considering buying 2 months in a row pass. So we can travel freely and by taking a break. But if there is a home country question here.Can we choose Turkey as our home country? So we can return to our home in Germany and travel back when we want again. I am asking because paying for trains to the border in Germany every time will cost a lot and it will not be useful and preferable for us.(We have a residence of course in Germany, but also in Turkey. But we do not have a residence permit, only D-Type Visa.)

Separate interrail tickets

Me and my friend are going to Spain and Greek islands, so the question is that can we buy one ticket for each country separately. One country pass to Greek islands and one pass for train to Spain? First we are in Spain and then straight from there we fly to the Greek islands.

Activation of the pass and trips

Hello ! A few quick questions :Do I have to activate the pass in my home country or whatever ?For the reservation of seats on company websites, can I delete the seats if for example the train is deleted or change of plan ? Because the ticket yes if I don’t activate it in my pass but if the seats are already taken ?Other information : I have a flexible global pass and I'm coming from France. Thanks for your answers.

Seat prices - companies websites

Hello everyone ! Tell me :What are the cheapest train company sites that you can advise me about the price of seats (day train) and that include several European countries ? (like OBB for example), to avoid the Interrail app. And should the company's website have a space where you can add "Interrail pass" ?Other information : I have a flexible global pass and I'm coming from France. Thanks for your answers.

Seat Reservation and Pass activation in advance

Can someone just confirm for me…Bought my interrail pass today. If I then add my pass to the inter rail app, does it then start the 2 months I’ve got to make my 10 trips.  Also, do I actually need to book trains, if they don’t have a seat reservation mandatory. Can I just jump in the train and show my interrail pass? I don’t have to book anywhere before hand. I know I can use the Deutsche Bahn app to book just seats when I need to, but I’m guessing I don’t have to do anything other than that, just show up when my trains due, and book a seat if needed?

Strasbourg to Paris seat reservations

Hi,  I am trying to book seats on ICE train from Strasbourg to Paris. I believe the trains starts in Frankfurt. When i try to book seats from Strasbourg to Paris it say "seat booking is impossible at this time". The dates are less than 90 days away. When i try and book it fro  Frankfurt to Paris, its letting me book it. Should i book that and just board from Strasbourg? Many thanks.

Night trains

First time in the forum here,I tried to book night trains for our 2024 summer travel Yet, I don’t seem to be able to book the train from Vienna to Venice for June 23 2024. The calendar became greyed out after June 16 2024. I did read on the Eurail Night train page that the night train from Munich to Rome is not run from June 12th through August 9th, 2024. I see no blackout dates for the night train from Vienna to Venice, so not sure what happened. I was under the impression that the new train schedule was released on December 10, but does it mean we will have to wait a bit closer to 180 days for reserving the cabins?? Thank you

Interrail seat reservation query (SNCF & Interrail sites)

Quick question - Paris to Geneva 21st May '24 showing as bookable on SNCF site - but interrail (shows times but says - "Prices for this journey will start to be available 90 days before departure" - I just need a seat reservation.I guess this means the interrail allocation hasn't been made available yet.... is this correct? Thx Mike

URGENT: What document number do I write in my ticket?

So I'm basically citizen of Iran but I study and have residency permit in Turkey. For that reason I chose interrail and purchased it. Now when I want to activate my interrail global pass it asks for my ID Document and it shows my country of residence as Turkey. Do I have to write my Turkish Residency Permit ID in there or my passport number (which also has schengen stamp on it). Thing is if I write my passport number then the country of residence on my ticket will be different than my nationality.. so I should just write my Turkish Residency ID? Btw I have a proof that I am a resident in Turkey (I have the residency ID card) and I guess thats enough right?This one I mean, the residence country should match the ID number of my Turkish residency card right? not my Iranian passport number?Thank you so much in advance
