Eurail & Interrail Passes

Hello, So i want to start travelling with a Global Pass in September, but I dont know when i should buy the Ticket, because i`ll need it for Seat reservations right? But when i buy it, for example in June can i still use it in September? Thanks in Advance.

Does Eurail global pass work for Zermatt to Matterhorn gondolas? 

I will be traveling from Waterloo Station to Dorchester South.  The app is not giving me the option of choosing South Western Railway trains. Is the train included in the eurorail pass? I'm not seeing it listed on the website either. Thank you! 

I am travelling tomorrow between 2 and 3 pm from Madrid to Granada. Is it okay to activate tomorrow morning? Which that means my month starts tomorrow? Thank you!

This is my first time using the Eurail pass. I was wondering if it would be possible to make a seat reservations 2-3hours ahead of departure. I”m landing from the US to CDG and am concerned over flight delays along w long lines to clear immigration/customs.I would like to book my seats after I get on the train from the airport. Assuming there are still seats, can I book my seats the same day, hours in advance? I”m planning on going strait from the airport to the train station and take one a few hours later (3 hr buffer) but I have no control over how long the lines are at the airport thus prefer to book after I’m cleared to go..

We bought our tickets Feb / March but activated the  Pass two days ago. I’m still confused.Firstly, I think I understand that we need to create a trip / doneWe then Add JourneyOk. So I can see our Reservations in my-account/reservation-booking-details/my-itineraryNext step - on my mobile, I go to PlannerAdd my first journey / London - Bassel. That's fine.And the next leg, Bassel to Firenze.Here it gets tricky. The train we have tickets for, doesn't show Likewise, the Paris London train isn’t showing for the one we have booked. This is the first issue. The second one is that when we tried to book our From Home UK leg, the ticket office noted the Activated Pass and reference numbers, but say we should have a QR code for them to scan.  I dont see a QR code with the Mobile Pass.

Hi Interrailers,I have a sleeper reservation for the ÖBB NightJet on Thu 16 May from Paris to Berlin. Lucky me, you may say. Well, that’s what i thought too, until the train suddenly disappeared off the timetable.No notification from ÖBB. I emailed them 3 days ago, when i found out, but not a peep.Nor have they surreptitiously refunded the money.Now, there have been rumblings in the press here in France about ÖBB canceling 2 out of 3 NightJets, so i reckon i have cause for concern…Anyone else having issues with the NightJets of late ?  

When using the app to search for a train, I inputted May 5th as our departure date for an overnight trip where we're expected to arrive on May 6th (Paris to Barcelona) However, upon selecting a trip the dates of the trip display May 6th to May 7th. We're having a hard time figuring out why that is, and how we can find the correct trip. I attached a series of photos to show what I'm seeing. Notice the shift in dates from my search to the selected option (which should be a departure on May 5 and an arrival on May 6).Thanks!

Hi, If I start my Global Flexi Pass on 1 Apr, is that I can still use this pass on any 3 days within April? It is not necessary to use it continuously from 1 - 4 AprAm i correct?Thanks,

How do I get from Madrid to Lisbon or Coimbra? There is no option on the website for this route. Doesn't the eurail pass cover it?

Good afternoon, I'm trying to figure out how to book between Lyon and Barcelona, ​​and Barcelona to Madrid. There are two time options. One, the reservation price is very low, but it says that I can only book in person at the station. This is the framing time as 2:32 pm. That's right? Can I only do it in person?

Hello,I am planning to utilize a travel day for BLS Brienz cruise on 27th April. The route would be Interlaken OST to Brienz with a stopover at Iseltwald. I went thru the time table and accordingly planned our journey:*Board the ferry at 10.07 am( Shi 61)*Get down at Iseltwald at around 10.44 am* Explore Isetlwald for approx 2 hrs*Board the next ferry( Shi 65) at around 12.50 to Brienz* Reach brienz at 13.20 and explore the area and then take the train back to Interlaken.However, I am unable enter this whole journey in the railpanner as Isetlwald see is not a option at all.

Since as per the rail planner I am able to enter only Brienz as a destination.Kindly help.Thanks in advance.   

Hi - I am getting this message when trying to book using the app. Does this mean even though I have paid for the interrail pass I have to pay for rail tickets for this and in other similar situations? Prices unavailableNo price results were found. Pass holder reservations may be sold out for this connection, but there are other ways to check for available seats—more info below our timetable.

Hi,I am trying to book a ticket from Luzern to Interlaken on 14th May morning, It says reservation is not required, so if I am not purchasing this seat reservation then,If seat reservations are unnecessary, can I just board a first-class compartment and choose any seat which is free(available)?If yes, how can I identify vacant seats as I travel from one point to another?If no, where can I find seating without having to stand for the duration of the journey, considering that I haven't purchased a seat reservation?

Dear train travellers,The website interrail.eu literally says in Dutch: "board most European trains by simply showing your Interrail pass". But in the Rail Planner app it says in English: "Before you board the train, you'll need to create a ticket in the app". I have an Interrail Global Pass Mobile. Suppose I only want to travel without a mandatory reservation, do I still have to create a "ticket" every time I want to board a train? That would mean that I'm constantly working on tickets if I want to make multiple trips, for example if I want to suddenly interrupt a trip and take a different route. That seems difficult to me if I only have a few minutes to transfer. I do not understand. Is it really not possible to use the pass by simply showing the pass without any ticket? Thanks in advance for your response. (This text has been translated from Dutch by Google Translate. The Dutch version is below. Answer may also be in Dutch) Op de website interrail.eu staat in

Is it possible to add/delete journeys from the Pass after the journey has started? And what about after it has finished?Reason for asking is that I was originally intending to take the Eurostar from St. Pancras to Amsterdam, and I bought a passholder reservation for that journey.My plans have now changed and I would like to get off the Eurostar early in Brussels. As I understand it this might not technically be allowed but in practice should be OK because there aren’t ticket checks on arrival. I don’t want to change the passholder reservation because there is a charge for doing that.However, if I change the journey in my Pass to say Brussels instead of Amsterdam it won’t match the passholder reservation. And if I leave it as Amsterdam I can’t add the next train I am going to take from Brussels because it leaves before the Eurostar has arrived in Amsterdam (i.e. it overlaps).So what I was thinking was to leave the journey in the Pass as

Hello, I recently heard about the Eurail 4 days pass for Greek Islands. I though I finally found an affordable way to visit the Greek islands are to me, ferry prices are outrageous. Unfortunately, I am not that young anymore and not extremely enthusiast to the idea of spending long overnight trip on an economy seat.   My question is the following: is there a way to upgrade from an economy seat to a bed when making a reservation? I am going to Greece at the end of April - beginning of May, which should normally be a relatively quiet time. However, this year, Orthodox Easter is May 5 and ferry are popular.  There is no chance I will get a bed if I wait to be on the ferry to upgrade.  Thank you.   

I have searched trips a near as tomorrow and as far as it’s in their calendar, their system can’t find any seat available.. is this normal? (trying to reserve tickets from London to Liverpool)

Hello! We are looking to travel around Britain as well as one stop in Paris. We are there for 15 days. Our itinerary is roughly as follows. We have some dates that are fixed, but we also have a few spare days and so we want to stay a bit flexible. It seems like our options are Brit rail pass, this would cover all the Britain portions, and then pay out of pocket for London to Paris. If we use Brit rail, we would need 4 days Flexi pass at a minimum This is 898 CDN$ for 2 people.If we use the Eurail option, we would need 7 days Flexipass 1,138 CDN$ for 2 people + the 260.71$ fee for using it from London to Paris which makes it close to individual tickets. I looked up tickets in advance on a few different websites. These are the prices I found in CDN dollars.London to Paris Round 356.00 USD = 483.82 CDNLondon to Bath   2 Adults @ £38.50 = 137 CDNBath to York    £157.29 = 287 CDNYork to Edinburgh  2 Adults @ £42.2
