Do you have to travel on the train which shows the correct departure time

Apologies if this question is silly. I am learning about the Interrail system before I have my pass and so things may be obvious once I get it. I see people suggest not to put a train into your pass from your trip folder until just before you get on the train. That is not the sort of person I am. I don’t like to do things in a rush.When I set off on my journey I will be travelling from my local town to London and then on Eurostar. There are several trains an hour from my local station: let’s say 9:15, 9:30 9:45. No reservations are required. Suppose I put the 9:30 train onto my pass. However I arrive early and can get on the 9:15. Do I have to delete the 9:30 from my pass and replace it with the 9:15 or does this not matter?Peter

euro pass vs. direct ticket or should we just fly?

Hi- We are US citizens and will be traveling with 3 kids this summer. The youngest is 6. We will be going from Berlin to Prague on June 28 and then Prague to Munich on July 2. Do we need the 4 day euro rail pass or can I just book each way with a direct ticket? If so, how would I book those tickets? We will take the train from Berlin to Prague but is it easier to fly from Prague to Munich? That train ride seems a little too long for the kids. Is the Prague airport easy to navigate? Any advice appreciated.

from Athens to Patras - global interrail pass

Hello,I'm contacting you because I have a Global Interrail pass and I'd like to take a train journey from Athens to Patras. This journey is included in the pass, but when I book (seat reservations are compulsory), by clicking on "when and how to book", Interrail suggests that I visit these websites: superfast ferries, anek lines, hellenic seaways.Do you know on which site I can book my journey with the Interrail discount?Also, do you know when bookings will open for this route in August?Thank you

are the passed for consecutive days ?

Hi I am planning to visit Sweden , Germany , Austria , and Italy in August. I was planning on buying a 5 day pass but was confused if the pass is for 5 days of my choosing or if it’s consecutive days? Also for example if I went to two countries in one day would that be using 1 day or 2 ?

Does Eurail go everywhere Britpass goes?

My wife and I are planning to visit the UK from the US this June. We are starting in London then heading to Norwich - York - Stirling - Inverness - Bristol - and finally leaving from Paris. We’ll be spending several days at each town and will use them as hubs to explore nearby towns by rail. Will Eurail suffice or would a Britpass (with separate ticket to Paris) be a better option? The Eurail planner doesn’t seem to let me pick a few of those. Thank you in advance for any advice.

3 trips in 1 month, returning home in between

Hi everyone. Next month I am planning on travelling during weekends, and I was thinking of buying a 7 days interrail pass instead of buying single train tickets. My idea is to travel to Italy, then go back home. The following weekend traveling to the Netherlands, then be back again, and the weekend after again traveling to Berlin and back. Can I do that? Or does it need to be a continuous trip?Thanks in advance!

Please help! Refund and exchange info

Hi. I purchased 2 global passes but forgot to add my children. I wanted to exchange (read the policy) it said I had to ask for a refund first which I did and they just said accepted. But I don’t want to loose the any money, I just wanted to exchange to put my children on them and pay the $15 euro. Now what do I do?? Is there anything I can do?it said I had to ask for a refund but then I got an email saying accepted. I thought it would take me to another option to exchange help!

Transfer Passes

My partner has both of the passes on his iPad. We want to transfer them both to my phone. I read somewhere that you can only transfer passes once. Is this the case?

Pass Holder reservations Barcelona - Marseille

I’m new to Eurail so apologies for my knowledge not being up to scratch.I hold a Eurail 2nd Class Global Pass and looked to make a seat reservation on this route for upcoming July. The Eurail site indicates reservations are not available until 90 days prior yet they seem to already be for sale on Rail Europe website. However the pass is not eligible for the direct route - is this because it is 2nd Class? Can I only use it on the train with a change in Narbonne?Also, in this situation where seats are for sale but not open to passholders, is there a risk that passholders could miss out on a seat, or are a certain number of seats reserved for passholders.Thanks!
