travel day

Hi, When I got to the train station today to buy seat reservations (it wasn’t working online), they told me it was all sold out until tomorrow. We now have a train tomorrow but we can’t change our travel day! How do you go about this? Can I change it so I can travel tomorrow and use my eurail pass?

Seat reservation

Hello, I have to book a train that says that seat reservations are required. The train i need is very expensive or there are no more seats available. I already have the eurorail pass and i know that there are some trains that is posible to get on without having a reservation and sit on the floor if there are no more seats. My question is: is it posible to get on a train that says seat reservations are required without actually buying the reservation?

Why is adding a delayed earlier train to the pass not possible?

Travelling around Germany last week, I found myself in the situation where I was able to catch an earlier train than planned as it was delayed.Adding the journey to my mobile pass however was quite a hassle as it resulted in an error message saying something like “it looks like you're still on another train”. As a result it was impossible to add the respective train without removing the train I arrived on from my pass first.Although I understand why the error message appeared (I arrived in Hamm on a train with arrival at 16.24 hrs, the train I changed to originally would have departed at 16.20 hrs so in theory this was an impossible change), I don't understand why there is no option at all to override that error and add the train anywayIn this case I ended up in first removing the train I arrived on from my pass, then adding the delayed train I took. And after disembarking at my destination doing the whole thing in reverse again to fix the gap in the statistics again.Shouldn't this be

Global pass outbound/ inbound counted twice with overnight train

Hey Interrail community,I’m travelling with a mobile Global Pass with my family with residence in Germany. We started our journey in Berlin at 9pm with an overnight train to Offenburg (border with France) arriving the following day at 6am and from there change to a TGV to Paris at 7am. As expected this consumed two travel days. What it was unexpected is that this consumed both out-/inbound days in all our tickets.My return journey is with the same overnight train in Germany (already reserved). Asking the personnel in the train and train stations they all coincided this is not correct. They gave me some tips for the next time, to split the trip (my second trip starting in Strasbourg across the border, instead of Offenburg) or indicate the first outbound train in the app starting the next day.To fix our current situation they suggested to contact Interrail’s service center, but since this is hard to reach, here I am 😀. What can I do to recover the inbound day?I did this same journey mul

Inbound and Outbound Journeys Question

Hello!I know that we can have “one outbound trip to cross the border”. But I’d like that a bit better defined for my case … specifically, we live in Manchester, so can we, in one day take these trips outbound:Manchester → London (on Avanti); andLondon → BrusselsWe’ve read ‘one outbound trip’ as one overall journey not as one single ticketSo, can we outbound Manchester → Brussels, one Avanti, one Eurostar in one day as our outbound trip?

Planning multiple trips on one Pass

Hi everyone, I’ve searched through the interrail website and forums, but am a little confused about how to make this work.It seems like when you activate a pass, you can only use it for a single trip? But you can make additions to that trip once it’s been activated??Here is my situation - I have a 2 month/15day pass, that I haven’t activated yet. I’m planning to travel around for a week in April (Spain and France), return home to London for a month, and then head back out around Germany/Hungary etc. to complete the rest of my pass. For planning purposes, I’ve been considering these as two seperate trips. I’m nearly done planning my route for the Spain/France trip, but hadn’t started thinking about the later one just yet. I was expecting to plan that once I returned from the first ‘leg’.Once I activate the pass for travelling in Spain, I’m concerned I won’t be able to then add the 2nd part of my trip later, even though the pass will still be valid and in-date. I don’t want to end up usi

Connecting a trip to My Pass

I’ve got 4 global passes on my phone and we will be traveling in September.  I have set up almost all our trips on the RP but I have not activated our passes because I’m nervous about accidentally starting the clock too soon.  But, I’m worried because when I look at the journeys in My Trip, I don’t see the toggle switch that is frequently referred to.  Will that appear on each journey once I activate our passes?Probably a dumb question, but my nerves will really appreciate any answers from the community on this.Thanks much,John

this pass is a scam

I bought a 10 day pass for 371 USD, passes include tickets for MOST trains that show up on the app, second class tickets for some. Extremely difficult, you open the app and your tickets or journeys don’t pop up and you then have to open and close it 75 times until your stuff pops up.You buy this pass thinking it is soooo convenient, then you find out there are seat reservations. What you are not told is there is a limited number of Eurail pass holder seats per train. There must be only 2 seats per train because by the time most people can book THEY ARE ALL FULL. They are full for the day and full until maybe 5 days from then, that is with SEVERAL trains a day still. Then, you have to cough up usually $300 for SEATS to your destination. The problem is you try to book seats on the website, you can’t. Other websites like Bahn.com are amazing but there are no Eurail pass holder discounts on any of them. After being in Europe for 6 weeks and experimenting with trains and sometimes taking tr

Which bus rides are included in the Interrail ticket?

Hello everyone, at the moment I don’t understand which bus rides are free for me to use and which are not. Can I add a random bus route to “My Trip” for example in Cornwall, UK? The ride is not available in the app, but could I simply add it manually? There is sometimes no train available, so I am supposed to take the bus.Thank you for your help in advance!Anna

Using the France one country pass to travel from France to Italy

Hi, if i have a France one country pass and choose to go to Florence, can i only pay the portion of the trip that is within Italy (because the pass covers the french portion)? Or would that not be allowed? Is it possible to see what the split would be if I wanted to travel from Lyon to Florence? ThanksRoger

Transferring a trip to Mobile Pass on the rail planner

I have activated a four day mobile flex pass and completed the initial trip without problems.  But when I return to “My Trips” to assign a trip to a second day’s travel, there is no slider bar available to make the transfer.  I read somewhere that the transfer should be done on the day of travel or even just prior to boarding the train.  Is this true?  If so, that doesn’t offer much time to resolve last minute issues.

how to write the train routes

Hello!Can anyone tell me how do I have to write my train routes on the pass? Most of the train routes I have planned I have to change trains and do transfers between cities, so I am not sure if I have to write all the changes, or just the start and final point.Thank you :)

I’ll be travelling through the Baltic states (from Warsaw to Helsinki) and there are no timetables in Interrail for them. I have a four day interrail pass, and I found the route I want to take on other websites. Before I add it to my pass manualy, how do I make sure, that the train tickets for that rout are covered by my pass?

Leaving the country of residence more than once with a global pass

Hello together,I plan on going on my first interrail journey in about a month with a 7 day global pass. And I know that one can split their days of travel over the whole month, still I'm not sure about the following topic:I think of visiting spain for around a week, using 3-4 of my travel days, and visiting Amsterdam for a Weekend, using 2 of those travel days. Still, I plan on coming back to my country of residence in between these journeys and I recently heard, that with an interrail pass you can only leave/arrive your country of residence once. So, what I am basically asking is: Is that true? I did not find an answer addressing this issue, maybe someone else knows. Thank you in advance,Lisa :)

i didnt received my refund

I wanted to exchange this 7-day passe for a 5-day pass, so, as said on the site (https://www.interrail.eu/en/ interrail-passes/ordering-info/refund-exchange-policy)I bought the 5-day one that I actually needed and I asked the refund of the one that I have bought by mistake (the 7-day one), however I haven't received any confirmation email about the refund and I have not received the money(264-15=249€). Please could you please help me, I don't know if I'm making something wrong or if this just takes a lot of time.
