Eurail & Interrail Passes

Hi,I bought several Interrail passes and I see only one Order Number in the e-mail (or here at eurail.com) and four Pass numbers. For booking Frecciarossa reservations at https://partners.italiarail.com I need the Order Number for each pass of each traveller, not just one.In the past I could find a link to a site on this website that did the conversion for each Pass number but I can’t find it any more.Does this still work like that?Note that this is horrible in terms of user friendliness, both on the side of Eurail (just provide it if anyone could ever ask it) and on the side of ItaliaRail. Hopefully there is a better way to get my Frecciarossa reservations, but I could not find any yet…TIA!--ReindeR 

Hi all, hoping this helpful community can help me again.I’m trying to book a seat reservation with ItaliaRail but it’s requiring a paper Passholder number and won’t (obviously) accept my mobile pass number.Is there anyway to get a Passholder number that will work?Thanks! Edit to add: I’m just seeing that all of TrenItalia’s booking is down for maintenance right now, and it’s possible the reason all reservations on Eurail’s site just disappeared, is because of this, in which case, I can use Eurail—but would prefer to not be in a bind, so if anyone knows if it’s possible to get a Paper Passholder Number, I’d appreciate it!

I can't make a reservation because the stations in Serbia and Montenegro are not listed, but can I make a reservation for a train by going to the station counter and showing my pass?

Hi Interrailers!My wife was given a 2-month global pass as a great retirement present, for herself and me. I’m still working, however, and taking two months off is a little tricky.So we were looking at the possibility of exchanging it for a one-month pass. Trouble is, it seems that the existing pass would be refunded - to the credit card of my wife’s former employer, which would be very awkward. For my wife, that’s a clear no-no.I was wondering, if i purchased a more expensive package, could i simply pay the extra, and avoid the refund? Does anyone happen to know?Thanks in advance,Badger

1.I already bought Eurail Italy Pass. if i choose a station Chiasso(Switzerland) to Milano Centrale can i use this pass without pay? (from Switzterland i also have Swiss pass).2. I try to use planner in eurail app, I choose Chiasso to Milano Centrale (use filter " pass network only") and they show timetable that I can select, is it can use my eurail Italy pass?

Hi,I'm from Belgium and want to buy an interrail pass traveling 4 days in a month. Can I visit the UK and come back, and then do the same thing for a second time with this pass?Thanks already 

I haven’t used Eurail since 1998!  Are all routes included?  I’d like to travel from Venice to Orta San Giulio to Zermatt.  also wondering about British rail as I’ll be travelling between family members

Agradeço demais quem puder me ajudar. Estou analisando a vantagem de adquirir o Eurail Pass Global. Irei passar 45 dias na Eurooa fazendo o percurso abaixo: Paris - Luxemburgo - Lucerna -Zurich -  Spiez (Interlaken, Lauterbrunnen) - Milão - Genebra - Lyon - Barcelona - Madri - Lisboa - Coimbra (irei me fixar 15 dias por lá, porém pretendo ir em Porto e Fátima)O Pass Global cobre todos esses lugares? é vantagem? 

Folks, can I use the Interrail Pass EURO 2024 to travel around Europe during the euros like a normal inter rail pass. Or am I limited to coming to and from my home country and travelling within germany? Help appreciated 

I’m a NZ & UK dual citizen currently living in Canada. I did Interrail back in 2013 when I lived in London, and from what I remember I couldn’t use it for train journeys WITHIN the UK, but I flew to Denmark and went via Switzerland to Spain anyway so it didn’t matter.This time I’m planning to fly in/out of London and want to do mostly slow travel to get around - bike/ train/ ferry. I want to take a couple trains within the UK/ Ireland probably and then over to mainland Europe + across to probably Eastern Germany/ Denmark/ Sweden. Does the restriction of travel in your “home nation” still apply? Would it be best for me to get Interrail using my UK passport + sister’s address, or Eurail using my NZ passport + Canadian address?Also, if anyone has done interrail/eurail with a bike please give me tips. The Chatbot said to check the linked schedule for bike options and then linked me to a Deutschbahn page. It also said I need to “buy a separate ti

I have added a journey to My Trips that comrises 3 trains in one day: Perpignan to Lyon Part Dieu (with the Spanish, AVE service), Lyon PD to Lille Europe (TGV), Lille Europe to London (Eurostar) (all on the same day). I have booked a paid for reservations for the last 2 sections, but found that it’s difficult to book the first one (it’s with AVE Renfe). I don’t want to delete the whole journey because of the 2 bookings I’ve paid for. I found an alternative to the first section, using TGV which is easy to book. Can I add that (Perpignan to Lyon with TGV) to My Trip and use that instead of the Perpignan to Lyon AVE? If I don’t use the Perpignan to Lyon AVE, will the next 2 sections in that ‘journey’ be invalid even though I have the reservations?This is my first Eurail experience. I have a lot to learn!

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?

Me and my friend have won the DiscoverEU passes, activated them in the app, but now she doesent want to go and is looking to cancel it. Is it possible to do that? Does she need to contact someone? Ive tried looking for an answer online, but it seems like you cannot cancel it after youve “activated” it?Some other relevant info: we wanted to travel in August 2024.

Hi guys,same question as last year.Anyone already knows how the paper pass cover looks like in 2024?As on last years one was written 2023/24 it might be still the same (Kalambaka)? (hopefully not ^^)Thanks in advance!

This is the first time I am doing Interrail having missed my opportunity in my youth. Now that I have made reservations, etc. should I activate my pass now or nearer the day I travel? (I am travelling around 17 March).

Hi,i bought an Interrail Global Pass today (10.01.24) and want to start my journey in March 2024. When i try to book my seat it is not possible with my Interrail Global Pass.In my Email i got after buying the Interrail Global Pass it said “nach Datum aktivieren” (english Translation with deepl: “Activate by date”)  : 14.07.2024But there wasnt an option for choosing a date while buying the Interrail Global Pass.When i try to activate the Pass I can only choose between June and July 2024...not March as a startdate...

Planning trip to EU and will use a Eurail pass.   Two questions:How much before our trip should I buy the Global Pass? (can I wait until a month before?) Can I book reserved seats before I buy the pass? (do this thru Rail company web sites?)

Earlier this year I was travelling Brussels to Chamonix. I was planning on leaving Brussels at 0823 on ICE13, via Cologne - Basel - Martigny - Vallorcine, to arrive that evening into Chamonix.On day of departure, the ICE was cancelled. The next departure to Cologne was a Thalys an hour later. I paid €25 for a reservation, and could still get to Chamonix that evening.Then my ICE from Cologne was delayed, missing my connection at Mannheim, and I wouldn’t be able to get to Chamonix that day by train. So I diverted instead to Geneva airport, where I took a shared bus transfer for €50.Eurail gave me a €20 refund for the delay, but that didn't cover my extra costs. (I mentioned the Thalys expense, but not the bus cost)Should I have done things differently? Should I have let myself get stranded in Vallorcine, then somebody would have paid (or reimbursed me) for a hotel or taxi? Or is it just tough luck?It would be useful to know for the future.

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.

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). 

We are going to to italy,france and switzerland and i need a guide what are the coverage of the global pass. Naples, Itay - this where we land.  Naples > sorrento - ferry (i doubt it is included to the global pass. But let me know if it is)  sorrento > positano   - ferry (i doubt it is included to the global pass. But let me know if it is)  positano > Amalfi - ferry (i doubt it is included to the global pass. But let me know if it is)      Then we will go back to naples.    Rome,Italy - from naples going to rome, is this included to the global pass using train/bus/ferry? Paris,France - going to versailles and mount saint michel (is this inculded to the global pass) Switzerland - From Paris > Zurich (is this included to the global pass?).  From Zurich going to lucerne,grindelwald, zermatt etc… is included to the global passAppreciate your feedback

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.

Hello ! I have a question :Why is it sometimes marked "ticket not available" when I want to book on company sites ? Should we wait or is it just not available online ?Other information : I have a flexible global pass and I'm coming from France. Thanks

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.
