Hi Martijn,
do you have only an One Country Pass for Italy?
If yes, then the trip from your home country to Italy is not included in your pass I suppose and that’s why you get this message.
Makes sense, so this means I should switch to a Global pass? Is it even possible to switch after you’ve bought a pass?
Well, either that or buy a one-way ticket to Brenner/Brennero at the Austrian/Italian border via bahn.de (from Amsterdam)
I checked now and found some tickets for 49,9 euro for mid July… so depending on your dates, that might be a solution.
About switching I don’t know… sorry, but maybe someone from the Interrail team can answer you on that.
Hi, thanks for your great answers here @MartinM!
@Martijn Spierenburg, if your travel plans have changed before you started travelling, you can exchange your Pass for a different Pass. In some cases you will have to pay an exchange fee of €15 per Pass. For instructions on how to exchange your Pass, have a look here. Cheers
