Delay -> pass expires?

Just wonder what happens if I buy a pass and because I miss a connection (no my fault), my trip hope is on the day after my pass expired. E.g. I have a 5 day Global Pass and wanna travel from England to Southern Germany where I live. Due to delays I only make it to Paris on Day 5, so what to do on Day 6 for the trip from Paris to Southern Germany? Buy a new single trip ticket or is the Global Pass extended for the trip home because of the delay?

global pass Inbound/Outbound journey

Hi community, we are plannig our interrail trip to sweden and norway. We are starting our journey in Mannheim Hbf to Hamburg Hbf on 22th of February and taking the night train from Hamburg Hbf to Stockholm Center at 22:03 on the 22th February. Similar way for the return. Night train from Malmo C (10.03.2024 23:41) to Berlin Hbf (11.03.2024 9:25) and  from Berlin Hbf (11.03.2024 11:26) to Mannheim Hbf (11.03.2024 16:27). We have the problem that there 4  free travel days left and interrail doesnt allow the journey from Berlin Hbf to Mannheim Hbf with the Interrail global pass. Does anyone have an idea how we can solve this issue, without paying extra for the train from Berlin to Mannheim?Best Regrads and thanks a million for your help!Carolin

Can I start travelling after the activation date?

I have the 10 days in 2 months promo pass, and the last Activation date is June 1st. (and the last day of travel is July 31st).  I would prefer to use my travel days in late June / early July. Is there any way to activate the pass for June 1st, but not have the first travel day until mid June? Or would I have to ‘sacrifice’ one of my 10 days to show a (fake) journey on 1st June?

15% off Global Pass Question

Next Summer we will be first-time users of the Eurail Pass. We are not familiar with past practices with this pass.  We are seeing notices for a 15% discount offer (20-Feb thru 2-March) from several online sources including https://www.eurail.com/en/eurail-passes/global-pass.Questions:  Is there any reason NOT to purchase this pass now verses later in promotional period (high the discount get better)?   Based on experiences from prior years, are better offers likely before summer or is this the best we should expect?

Issues with reserving seats for trains in Italy in July - No Results

Hello,I am planning a family vacation in July 2024. I purchased 5 Day 1 Month Global Pass for me and my family.  I was able to reserve seats for us to go from London to Paris but when I go into Seat Reservations and attempt to reserve seats from Milan Italy to Florence and other trips from one Italian city to another for middle of July (still within the 1 month timeframe of my first planned train ride from London to Paris), I get an error message “We can't find any trains that match your search. Please change your search and try again.”  I have tried multiple cities, times, stations, and I continue to get the error when going through Seat Reservations.  I know trains are running because I can go onto other sites and see them available.  I am willing to pay for the seat reservations.  Am I doing something wrong? Am I able to purchase seat reservations before my passes are activated for July (I was able to with London to Paris)?  Is there an issue getting seats reserved for cities in Ita

Internet requirement

Hi, I’m intending to buy two Mobile Passes in the Spring Promo to be used in July. I’ve read that there is a requirement to connect the App to the internet every three days to ensure the Passes remains usable. I’m assuming that this only has to be done once I activate the Passes and want to start using them and not during the four months between buying them and starting to use them. I’d be grateful if anyone could let me know if this is correct please.

Global pass - trip to Italy

Hi, I would like to go on holiday to Bolzano (Italy). I would buy an Interrail global pass because it is cheaper than a regular ticket. I start my journey from Antwerp.Antwerp → Brussels → Frankfurt → München → Bolzano.I have some questions:I should take 4 trains on 1 day to get to Bolzano. Can I travel with an Interrail global pass? Is it correct that I have to pay extra for the train between Munchen -> Bolzano? Is that the only additional amount that I have to pay?

Do I (UK passport holder) and my partner (non EU/UK passport holder) need to get separate Eurail and Interrail passes?

Hi there, My partner and I are travelling around Europe. We are both currently living in the UK but are from NZ. I have a UK passport but she does not - do we need to buy separate passes to travel on the rail lines? I.e. do I need to get an Interrail pass and she gets a Eurail pass? Thanks

Britpass or Eurail? UK travel only

Next month my family and I will be travelling from the US to the UK. It will be my wife and I and our two children aged 7 and 10. We intend to spend 11 days in the UK only, then return to the US. No additional European travel required.We have decided to travel by train and had intended to buy a Britrail pass (8 day flexi pass) and I’ve put together an outline for each day’s travel. Even though we would only be travelling on seven of the days, the 8-day Britrail pass seemed the best option.Then an ad popped up on Facebook advertising Eurail. So I started to investigate and the pricing is considerably cheaper, plus I can select a 7-day flexible pass.So are there any material differences between the two services? The only real difference that I have found so far is that Heathrow Express is included in the Britrail Pass and not Eurail. London Underground is covered by neither. But we need to travel out of King’s Cross and will need to take the tube either way (either from Heathrow with Eur

Eurostar

Hi Is it relatively easy to book the Eurostar (Paris to London) using the pass or are there a limited number of seats available to pass holders?  Before I buy the pass I’m trying to figure out if these tickets for August could be included as that will be the deal breaker for us.  We’re a family of 4 so would need 4 seats together. Thanks
