Question regarding inward and outward travel day

I have a question about my Interrail pass usage. I am a resident of Germany, and I've already used the allowed number of travel days to enter and leave a country. Now, I plan to take a direct train from France that goes through Germany on my way to Austria. Can I still use my Interrail pass for this journey, even though I've used up my inbound and outbound travel days?

Seat Reservation for domestic routes within Italy

Hi team,I hold a first class Eurail passI understand that under OBB, we need to select one way/ day tickets for Trains going from Austria to Italy. We cannot use “seat reservation only” option However quickly wanted to check what should we choose for certain domestic Italy routes like :Venice - Rome Rome-Naples Day trip Rome-Pisa-RomeCan I use “seat reservation only” or “day ticket” on OBB? Or can I directly book with Italian operatorAlso, what about non-Italy routes like Zurich - Venice? Thank you

Is Monteross to Brig a viable alternative?

Our planned trip (In April) currently sees us going from Monterosso to Milan (1 night) > Brig* on a direct Eurocity train > connect to the Glacier Express towards Chur (1 night) > Bernina Express to Tirano > Varenna (3 nights)> Venice.Milan isn’t that exciting so I was wondering if it was realistic to do Monterosso > Brig (1 Night) > Glacier Express to Chur (1 night or maybe even none) > Bernina Express to Varenna instead.I think more time on the Glacier/Bernina runs may be better than a night in Milan. Is that reasonable, or not worth the effort to change things around?I don't know if the Glacier Express leg adds a lot to the journey, as another alternative might be straight from Monteross To Chur (1 night) to Tirano to Varenna and add an extra night there.Or am I just overthinking this and be satisfied with the current plan?

Mobile pass activation

Today I bought the mobile pass and want to make a reservation for Deutsche bahn. I know how to make the reservation. But do I need to activate the pass first before i can make a seat reservation? Or can I activate the pass after I made a reservation? Because I'm not travelling this weekend and I'm afraid that the pass will cost days if I will activate it a few days before my first travelday.

Young Adult

Hello,I am a parent who bought a flexi pass (10 days within 2 months) for myself (adult pass) + a kid pass + young adult pass (16).Now, I am wondering, since a young adult is with me and since i’ve got a phone travel passes for each person: is it possible that young adult uses that code separatly on her phone, and do some days of travel on her own. For example if she wants to travel home sooner. Thank you.Biba SJ

Sleeper train from Budapest to Prague

One of my goals in Europe is to ride a Sleeper train. I booked the EN 476 from Budapest to Prague.The lady I booked it with at the train station told me the reservation I made was for a bed (rather than a seat), but I want to verify because there was a language barrier and the reservation was so cheap -- only 10€. For context, I have Eurail first class.Attached a picture of the ticket below.

Passer par son pays

Avec le Global Pass, j’ai vu qu’il était possible de prendre le train dans son pays 1 fois à l’aller et 1 fois au retour. Cependant, je prévois de faire un tour d’Europe en commençant par Portugal/Espagne puis Italie/Grèce/etc (donc passage en France inévitable). Il y a un trajet Barcelone - Milan (via Lyon) à 25eu, est-il possible de négocier avec Interrail pour obtenir ce prix sans utiliser le “trajet retour” ? Si ce n’est pas possible, puis-je utiliser mon “trajet retour” pour ce voyage et continuer à bénéficier du Pass après ? (Et je m’arrangerais pour le vrai retour en France). Merci pour vos réponses ;)

International trains in Serbia

I am planning to travel trough Europe with a friend from the 28th of may until the 11th of june. We start from the Netherlands and would like to go to the balkans and back. We did a bit of research and found out that the international trains from and to Belgrado(Beograd) are not riding. But Belgrado is probably our most important stop because we would like to go from Sofia to Belgrado and from Belgrado to Zagreb. Can anyone tell us if this is possible in the period we’re travelling. Or that there is another option to travel from Sofia to Zagreb. We want to avoid going back to Budapest. And if it is possible without spending more money than necessary for night train reservations with our interrail card.

In addition, DB long-distance services are not expected to run on the following routes until Tuesday:Munich – Salzburg Munich – Innsbruck Munich – Lindau/ZurichEven after the resumption of operations on the affected routes, it is likely that limited train service will be possible due to the major weather-related restrictions.

We don't want to miss anything "unmissable"

We’re after a little further help planning our first, and likely last, trip to Europe in April/May, 48 days, flying into Rome and out of London. Because we’re in our mid 60’s, we need fewer stops, longer stays. We’ve purchased a 15-travel-day Eurail pass and already had some incredibly valuable advice from this web site, and we’re just trying to make sure our plan is sensible & we’re not missing something “unmissable”.We love the old architecture of Europe, mountains, lakes, scenery and wildlife, not so much the beach scene. The places on our “must see” list are as follows, listed in the order we are thinking about traveling:Tuscany,Lake Como.The Swiss alps – recommended was the Bernina & Albula railways between Tirano and Chur.Venice.Pordenone – I have family there so it’s 5 nights takenVienna.Zurich.The road from Dijon to the outskirts of Paris, which we hope to drive. I can make all the above work, but it’s a messy zig zag Como to Chur to Tirano to Venice, and I am not sur
