Eurail & Interrail Passes

Hello, I am from Germany and would like to travel to Switzerland in April. The plan is for me to travel to Chur on the first day. On the second day I would like to take the Bernina Express from Chur to Tirano and back again. I will leave Chur on the third day. Is a Global Pass worth it? Or should I book each train ticket separately?   

Now I added GB pass (1st class) in my mobile app and set activate with the starting day. But after that, how to show my pass (QR code)?some trains shown Seat reservations optional! , is it no need to make any booking?Conversely, Seat reservations required, is it cannot get in the train even I have GB pass?Thanks ^.^

I have a global pass. How do I update it after a journey? Or it gets upadated automatically on the system?

Hello, my mother 75 years old will travel with my two daughters (9 and 11) with interrail global pass. Can she use an adult pass to be able to buy the two free kids passes? Otherwise, with the senior pass there are no option for adding a kid’s pass. Thank you

Ho there, just wondering if once I have my pass I will find out that actually there are very few trains I can choose among, unless I pay some extra money to go where I’m planning to go. thanks 

Hi, is it okay to purchase two global passes(mobile pass) on my account? One is for me, and one is for my companion of the trip. Is everything okay with what I am planning? Or do we have to purchase each of our pass on our own? 

Hello,I am a first-time user of Eurail and I would like to know which pass would be appropriate for a round-trip day trip between Basel and Paris. I wasn’t sure if that would require the Global Pass because each end point is in a different country.Thank you. 

I am with a group of 5 Adults from USA …. 4 seniors and adult 34 yrs that is disabled. Our global passes are first class.  We fly to Zurich Sep 30 travel by train to Colmar, FR for 3 nights … then to Interlaken, SW for 2 nights … then to Zermatt, SW for 2 nights … then finally travel to Tuscany/Florence for 9 nights. We all have the Flex Global Pass for 5 days in month.The main question I have is … do we put all 5 global passes on one device or separate devices? Is there a website you recommend to book seat reservations or using the Eurail website and pay the additional 2 euro admin fee? Since we are a group of 5 is it difficult to get all 5 of us sitting close to each other?Thank youDave

I am planning on travelling for 1 month, then staying in one place for a month, then travelling for another 2 months. Can you pre-load two passes onto the App then activate each one when you need it? 

Hi,I'm researching some of the seat reservation sites in preparation for an interrail trip next year. So the following journey is just a test and not urgent.I'm using the RailEurope website.When I enter a query for Paris Est to Karlsruhe Hbf 13th Nov start time 10:30 with interrail pass, the 13.51 train (TGV 9575) has 'Seat reservation has to be done at station' which is obviously bad news if I'm trying to plan from the UK.When I enter the same query BUT start time 7:30, the same 13.51 train (TGV 9575) now has 'Seat reservation is required' and available online (€18). Hurray!!Any idea what's going on?Is it a bug on the website or something I’m doing wrong? Also why would it say 'Seat reservation has to be done at station' in the first place.

Does Eurail usually offer year end or new year promotional prices for Benelux Pass?

Bonjour,j’ai un pass global de 10 jours sur 2 mois et je ne comprends pas vraiment le principe de inbound/outbound. Mon itinéraire c’est d’aller à Rome depuis Nice en premier (15-20 nov) puis de partir de Paris pour la Suède 15 jours plus tard (1er dec) mais si je comprends bien, si mon premier voyage Nice-Rome est mon outbound de France alors je ne peux plus faire de trajet en France ? Donc je ne peux pas faire Rome-Nice (20 nov) et Paris-Franckfort (1er dec)?Je vous remercie pour votre aide si vous arrivez à m’éclairer là dessus :)Charlotte

looking to travel from prague to london, overnight from prague to brussels, day time brussells to london. will this be 2 travel days on the pass?

I would like to thank the person who wrote somewhere on this site, about what to do if your saved journey in “My Trips” on your Eurail app doesn’t move to the “My Pass,” when tapped. I was a NEW user of digital Eurail Global Flexi Pass in October 2024 (a few weeks ago) and panicked that my very first journey would not transfer to the Pass, when I initiated the Pass. I thought it was lack of internet/wifi.  After frantically running upstairs to the main train station, I discovered that didn’t work, either!  Then I remembered a “passing comment” that someone wrote on this site about what to try if this situation occurs. That person said to “PUT YOUR PHONE IN AIRPLANE MODE AND THEN TURN IT OFF AGAIN.”  BINGO!  That worked!  I only had to do this one time on the 18 trains that I ended up taking.  I wish I could remember the person who gave me this tip, so I could give him/her recognition; since I can’t, I figure the best I can do is to help someone else with this tip.Also, I sugg

Considering a Eurail Global Pass for our Europe trip starting in Munich, with stops in Interlaken, Paris, and London! I'll be coordinating travel for the whole family—my husband, daughters, and grandma. Has anyone used the pass for these destinations? Any tips or advice on getting the most out of it? Thanks for any help! we will travel in 2025 from June 17 Munich to Interlaken- June 19 Interlaken- Paris and June 23 to London

Ciao a tutti, volevo capire la differenza pratica tra i vari tipi di biglietti, budget, premium e economy. Quale mi consigliate di fare se voglio viaggiare per 15 giorni dormendo in treno?

Please help.I'm trying to book Glacier express from andermatt to chur on 30 Dec but the website says there is no connection on this day. However I can see it on the timetable. Can someone please help. I have a eurail global pass 

Hi, I am trying to book a ticket between Paris and Zermatt for 18th December (Have an EURail pass). The EURail website still does not show any trains availability. We are now officially two months before we need to travel. Appreciate the December changeover of timetables but it is pretty inconvenient to say the least to not know when the timetables will infact update or at all. I realise we may have to book Paris - Geneva and rest does not require reservation but even that sector isnt available for booking yet. 

Hello! How are you?I re-open a discussion about this topic to see if there are news for the next year.I am thinking about a 15 days in 2 months pass, there is a 110 euro difference between first and second class.I already used a first class pass, in 2023, and it was ok. Not huge advantages, but ok. I liked first class with the Eurostar (Italy) and I think the reservation fee was mostly the same price. More space in Spain, nice lounge in Vienna. More availability in general and reservations costs are, in the continental area, almost the same (I avoided France). In Germany I did not notice huge difference between 1l2 class. Bulgaria and Romania, you must anyway adapt a bit.I used a lot of night train, but with bed, so there the first class is not helping at all.I read that first class is particularly good if travelling in UK, but I am not planning it.Do you have some particularly good experience?I am searching feedback in particular abo

Looking at buying a 5 or 7 day pass now and using in March 2025. We fly into Zurich mid month and plan to train it to Interlaken. Then on to Strasbourg, Belgium and Amsterdam. Those trips I want to book close to the day as they will be at the mercy of flights. However I want to book the train from Amsterdam to London as early as possible as we will be flying out of London in the evening of our train to London.  Can I buy now, activate for March and book our last train at the end of March now?

I used now my 5th journey from the Interrail EU pass in Switzerland and suddenly the QR code is not shown in the pass anymore. (Android) Is there any problem? I fear the penalties due to not having a valid pass ...

Hi, we (3 of us) are traveling from Lisbon, Portugal to Granada, Spain. Please does someone knows if there is an overnight train?, do we need to do seat reservations, and how long is taking. Thanks 

Hello everyone, I’m planning a rail trip from London to Aigle and back early Jan 2025, but the timetable isn’t on the app.  But I could book on Trainline? When will timetables be on the app for early 2025?

Hello railpass experts.I have made my reservations (and got the tickets with bar codes etc from Eurail, Eurostar etc). Now trying to add my journeys from the planner into my rail pass (for start of travel tomorrow) but the app won’t let me slide my journeys from the trip planner to the rail pass because it says that I need reservations (which I have, but it doesn’t know about reservations). Do I just activate a travel day and forget about adding the journeys?The app doesn’t seem to be very useful! Or am I being very stupid?!
