Eurail & Interrail Passes

Hello, We are traveling with kids from Zurich(alternatively Geneva if that works better) to Paris mid August 2024. We prefer a direct high speed train where we can use our Gobal Pass.Are we too late or too early to reserve? What is best website to reserve and use our global pass?We are first time travelers and completely new to train bookings so any help/input from you is very much appreciated.Thanks Karthick

I see only on train from Venice to milan on aug 4th morning. Is it because its Sunday or is it because I am checking too early?I am using global pass.thanks.

Hi! Please, I would like to know which pass I should buy: Interrail or Eurail once I'm Portuguese living in Brazil (outside EU) and I'm going to travel from London to France and inside France for more 4 times...

Hey Community, I was wondering when exactly a trip is counted as inbound? Is the point where I cross the border the deciding factor or does it matter who operates the train? I plan to take a cross border train from France to Germany, which SNCF operates until the first stop in Germany, then DB takes over. Can I ride until this first stop across the border without using an inbound day or do I have to get off at the last stop on the French side.Thanks in advance.

Hello,I  want to change date and time of an existing reservation. I dont see how I can do that in rail europe desktop version.  Please help.

Hello, my name is Tobi, I‘m 18 years old and I‘m from Germany. I will start my Europe trip in june alone and I would like to meet some new people:)I want to go to Belgium, France and Italy, but I‘m not really sure about my route right now. If you‘re interested to meet up, you can text me on Instagram: tobi__2305

I’m hoping to travel this spring with my 3 kids, one of whom is under 4.  The rules say that one parent can take two kids but under 4s don’t need a pass.   So the other two kids can use the child pass associated with the parent but can I still take the 2 year old without issues? 

Hi, I have an Irish passport but have lived in China for over ten years. I’ll be arriving into the UK and staying for just under 2 months this summer. I’ll be travelling within the UK/Ireland and throughout Europe over those 2 months, so the 15 travel day Eurail pass looks perfect for my needs. But I’m wondering if the Chinese residence visa within my Irish passport will be sufficient proof of residence in China? I have about 5 consecutive years of residence visas within my current passport. The only other official Chinese IDs I have are my university teacher card and foreign expert certificate, neither of which have a Chinese address on them. I do also have the rental certificate for my apartment, but it’s entirely in Chinese.  Cheers for any advice,Ben

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

Hi all, so I've just bought our global Eurail pass and then booked our seats on the Eurostar for early September, London to Amsterdam via b-europe site, but can't work out how to get the booking details on my rail planner, as it doesn't automatically link up, so won't use a travel day. Does this matter? Thanks for any help understanding this 🙏 

Hi, we’re new to Interailing but are planning a trip across the Netherlands. Germany, Switzerland and France then back to the UK (via Eurostar) in August.ive tried to use the route planner on the website but it doesn’t seem to have smaller rail stations in the database.  Can  please check if the pass can be used within all of countries listed above please, on trains between cities of various sizes, not just major cities?  Thanks

I land in Frankfurt. I eventually go on a river/bike cruise on Danube River from Passau. Can Global pass be used to get from Frankfurt to Passau?

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?

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.

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 cit

Hi,I’m thinking of buying a 4 day Global pass:Day one I will travel from my local station to Birmingham New Street, then to London Euston, then to the Eurostar to Brussels then Change to Düsseldorf.Day Two and three I will just explore Germany using the ICE and regional trains. Then Day Four, I will take the exact same journey as I did on Day one back to the UK.Will travelling on the S-Bahn and RegionalBahn take away one of my travel days meaning I will have to buy a 5 Day pass or not? 

I brought my first ticket for Aug 1st through rail europe. I indicated my global pass number during the checkout. I am trying to add that to my trip in Rail Planner app. I added the journey, added to my pass and activated it. Everything looked good and I was able to view my ticket (QR code) which I believe is what I need to scan/show. But after a while I checked again any my journey is gone from the app. What am I doing wrong? Or is this a known app issue? I got email from rail Europe with pdf tickets attached. Can I take a print out if it just to be safe? It has QR code too.Thank you.

Travelling from Nice to Avignon to Annecy and then Paris is it worth buying a rail pass ? And if you buy it do you have to pay extra for the train ticket 

I am aware that as recently as 2 months ago, the Eurail pass did not work for trains from Interlaken Ost to Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald and above._________________________________Has there been any RECENT CHANGE to this policy so that the Eurail pass can be used for these trains ?Same question for Aerial tramways?

Two people traveling together for the first time using Eurail Passes on each of their smart phones.Note: we are new to these passes.  Hence, this may be a “dumb” question, but here goes:Is it better to purchase a 2-person pass; or two, separate, 1-person passes?There is no cost difference.

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?

Hi everyone! I will be visiting Europe very soon and are delighted to hear that the Eurail Pass is on 15% off this spring!Upon doing some calculations, we found that the flexi Eurail pass could save more cost compared to the half-fare pass/STP. I'm sharing our itinerary, could anyone help me to fact check that I am using the pass correctly? Do let us know if there are better ways to use the flexi pass! We are open to adding more days too Also, are reservations typically made with eurail/europeb? I noticed that I can make the seat reservation at Raileurope as well. Is this correct?
