Mobile pass night train issue

Hi! I have a short question. I am currently on the sleeper Warsaw-Prague (IC407 till Bohumin, then another number because the wagon joins another train, arrival Prague at 7.32) The conductor wanted, next to my bed-reservation, the mobile pass as well. I can’t give him my phone for the entire night (it’s locked anyway). That means, according to the conductor, that I have to get up at 02.00 in Bohumin, to show the new staff my mobile pass…. Does someone know how to prevent this so I can just sleep through the night? Thanks a lot!

Adding a Journey from the list on my tip without internet access.

My first choice for a journey from Verona to Milan no longer appears on the schedule so I have added several other choices to my trip. I want to wait until I arrive at the station to decide which train to take. Can I add the journey from my trip to my pass even if no internet is available at the station?

Greek Island pass not working for Crete

Hi there,I am trying to book my seats from Crete to Piraeus on September 10 but Hellenic Highway's and Blue Star's websites do not have the option to select the Greek Pass on the discount section when choosing that route (Heraklion-Piraeus). Even though, the Greek Pass guidance and Hellenic Highway's and Blue Star's websites say that Crete is included within the Greek Pass.Has someone else experienced this and learned how to resolve the issue and get the tickets within your Greek Pass allowance? Many thanks,Simon

Amount of Trips

Hi everyone,i’m going soon on a france Tour (France-Germany Pass) which says it has 7 travel days, what i’d like to know is: can i take as many trains as i want on a travel day or one journey for each of these 7 days within a month ? Second question: I know the pass can be linked to only ONE trip, but is it possible to change the journeys even after connecting that trip to the pass ? because i’m not sure if i want to go to Marseille or Lyon as the last trip)  i’m grateful for any help!

Change the month of your trip while it's already on

Hi, I won a France-Germany interrail pass. When I first login to the app I’ve been asked to choose a month for my trip but it also said that i could change it after all. I picked middle of august until middle of september but it appeared that i cannot find time to travel at this time. That’s why I want to change the date of my trip but now that it’s on I’m not allowed to. I’m afread I will loose my pass without being able to use  it. Does someone know if I can do something for it ?

Global Pass Italien

Ich habe überlegt mit dem Global Pass nach Italien zu fahren aber ich merke Interrail Fahrer werden in vielen Ländern einfach von den Zuggesellschaften diskriminiert! Warum kann ich keine Sitzplatzreservierung bei Trenitalia.com machen? Ich möchte meinen genauen Platz aussuchen können wie Normalbucher auch! Man kann nirgendwo den Interrail Pass angeben bei einer allgemeinen Buchung. Was ist hier los?

Cannot use mobile pass on my old phone

I have paid for three  mobile global passes for seniors, one who is 80 years old. I am not travelling with the group, I sent details to the lead passenger and told him to download the app. The problem is that his Iphone 6 is running 12.5.7 and will no longer update so the app will not work and he cannot afford to buy a new phone. The first trip will be from Brussells to Jena in Germany on September 8th sometime in the day, I leave the UK tomorrow morning (Monday) but I cannot leave the group without a solution. Is there anyway of getting the a printed pass in time for thier trip and how do I do that? Please help

Eurail 15 Days in 2 Months Global Pass

My wife and I each have a 15 days in 2 months 2nd class global pass at discount costing  €27.03 per person per day. We are going to use 10 travel days for intercountry travels.For the remaining 5 travel days, what is the best use of each travel so that we get maximum return for the money we paid for each travel day?This might be a silly question. Can a travel day be used for things other than train travel or travel in general?We are considering days trips from London to Stonehenge, Amsterdam to Zaanse Schans and Florence to Pisa. My reseach suggests that use a travel for each of these in not good value. Is that right?

Thank you

Hi everyone, i just got back from my very first Interrail trip, and i would like to thank everyone here who tirelessly answer all queries. It feels daunting at first, but once i activated the pass on my first travel day everything became easy! (Well, i took the easy routes, London- Rotterdam- Amsterdam- Germany- Switzerland) I had the 7day Global Pass, use the 1st day as my outbound and used the last 4 (out 7) train hopping in Cities and towns of Switzerland instead of buying Swiss Pass. I will definitely Interrail again to explore the other parts of Europe!! Thank you once again for all your quick assistance!

Night Train

Dear All,Apologies first of all for the seemingly endless questions!If I decide to travel on a Friday from Lille to Nice via Paris where I intend to get a night train will this mean two journeys?  The first train I will take will be from Lille to Paris and the second train - a night one - from Paris to Nice.  The two journeys will not be in excess of 24 hours but will be over two days or two parts of days.I hope this makes sense and I am grateful for any replies received.Many thanks & kind regards, John

Buy and use pass the same day?

I want to purchase and use a mobile Eurail Global Pass tomorrow, flex days (4). I am unable to find the answer as to buying and using the first flex day on the same day as purchase. Can anyone help?I don't want to purchase tomorrow if I can't use it. Is there a waiting period, one day before use, for example?Thanks.

Is it possible to buy a paper pass in Paris?

Hello all, I am very grateful for the advice. I need to travel tomorrow at short notice! Is it possible to buy a physical paper pass anywhere in Paris. A couple years ago I went to an SNCF ticket office and they said they no longer did them, however their explanation was because I had a British passport, which seemed far-fetched.I’d love a paper pass, especially as I prefer them (despite the advantages of mobile). I have a normal full-fare ticket to Paris, however I would need Interrail from there. Is there anywhere I can purchase one!Many thanks!

Eurail pass instead of interrail

Hi, I live in Germany with a permanent residency but I am a non-EU citizen (of course with a valid non-EU passport). Can I choose to travel with Eurail pass instead of Interrail pass? I would really prefer to travel with Eurail pass as Germany’s central location and interrail pass’ inbound/outbound rule renders the interrail pass kinda useless if I want to say travel a few days to France and some days on the other side of Germany, to say Austria (unless I take some complicated route that doesn’t include journey’s in Germany). The language on eurail website creates a bit of a grey area (as it’s mentioned there that non-EU citizens who reside in the EU can ‘choose’ to buy an interrail pass). If I buy an eurail pass by providing the details of my non-EU passport, would it be fine or would I get into trouble? Has anybody been fined for such cases?  To be really honest, this inbound/outbound rule is very very inconvenient and frustrating, especially for people like me who live in central eu

printed passes

Hi, my family and I are travelling around Europe in September and October, we have purchased global pass. I was wondering when it says print at home pass, do you actually need to. We are travelling from Australia and won't have access to printer(can't bring 1 either). We have a couple of set dates in France, Germany and Austria done but we are being flexible in Italy and just looking at doing day trips from Florence but some trains are reservation. Is the email enough?Thank you
