Hello everyoneI am exploring the option of using Interrail to travel from the UK to Switzerland for a week with my two kids (7 and 15). I know you get 1 Outbound and 1 Inbound journey. But where does the Outbound journey end? We need to travel into London to leave on the Eurostar. Do I book a pass for 3 countries (UK, France, Switzerland) or for 1 (Switzerland) which includes the out- and inbound journeys? I have trawled the community, but not found a similar discussion. Apologies, if it should be easy and obvious, I am brand new to this thing. Thanks in advance.Dani

Hello, I was wondering why it says that you would need public transport, when it appears (and google tells me) that the arrival and departure stations listed here are the same?  

I am trying to plan my trip using the InterRail trip planher, but I have already booked a few trains direct--and may find it advantageous to book more trains direct. But i cannot see a way of adding rail bookings to  the rail planner unless you actually book them thorugh the planner. Is there a way to add pre-booked trips/trips booked eklswehere to the Trip Planner??

Hi Interrailers,I added a journey to ‘my trip’ which won’t delete when I click-hold on the journey (I’m only given the option to ‘view details’). This is only happening with this particular journey: I’m able to click-hold other journeys in the same trip and am given the option to delete these. It’s just one specific trip that won’t delete. I’m due to travel in September and the reason I need to delete thisparticular trip is that I erroneously selected an August date. At some point after this, I activated my pass but have since deactivated it to try and delete this August trip. Could the post-August activation date be preventing me from deleting this journey?It’s not a big deal, just annoying as it adds a journey that I won’t be making.Thanks, 

Sorry, another question. My husband and I are travelling together. I originally added the 2 passes to my phone and read somewhere that you can move one to another phone once it’s enlivened. I just tried this and the system is asking me questions like ‘do you still have the old phone’ and it’s asking me to deactivate the pass I want to move so which is it??Thanks very much!Dunja

Hi! We’re looking to travel from Matera to Rome via Interrail pass end of September this year. We have a one country interrail pass. There only seems to be one route available on the planner (which doesn't seem right?) … and it’s saying you can’t book the reservation through interrail. Does anyone know how we can do it or the best and easiest way? do you HAVE to book reservations? Any help or advice gratefully received! Georgia 

Is this train OK to just turn up for? Are we likely to get on?!

Hello,We're still learning about the inbound/outbound travel concept and would appreciate clarification. We're located in Northern Germany and want to visit Trieste as first stage, which would involve a very long journey.Would it be possible to break up our trip by taking the night train from Northern Germany to Augsburg (which is still within Germany), spending a day there, and then continuing to Trieste on a separate day?For our return journey, we'd like to do the same thing in reverse - travel to Augsburg, stay there briefly, and then complete the final trip back to Northern Germany on another day, since this would also be quite a long single journey.Is this type of multi-stage itinerary allowed under the in- and outbound travel rules?Thanks and best regards,Thorsten 

To the Eurail/Interrail community,I’m planning a trip to Switzerland and getting there via The Black Forest (Schwarzwald) in south west Germany.I would appreciate any travel ideas - I’d be interested in stopping off in a nice town but I’m really keen to get outdoors and do some hiking. Anywhere with easy train access would be good.Thanks,Felix

Hi, I'm so confusing...  I don't understand if I have to use my interrail pass ticket ( 7 trip in one months) or Is there  another pass to activate to come back in my country (Italy)?For example I finish my interrail at Genova, in Genova can I activate the pass to come back in Rome or not?Thank you I Hope someone answers me

Hi community, in case of control is it possible to show my QR code from the Discover EU app? My pass is from this program and I tried to log in interrail/eurail and added my pass but it says that it’s impossible because I get a discover EU pass.help methanks

I’m struggling with trying to figure out if a 4 day Greek Island Ferry Pass will be useful. As a non-European (Canadian) I understand that I cannot use an Interrail pass, rather we need a Eurail pass. To purchase the pass is quite easy but I don’t want to do that until I’m sure that my routes would be included.When I enter my first leg into the trip planner (Athens to Aegina) It gives me this message: “Sorry, we can’t show this entire journey. You can try to split it up into multiple journeys”.It’s a very short (30 minute) ferry trip so I don’t understand why it would need to be split. As well, the Eurail splash page shows Aegina as one of the Greek Islands I can sail to with the pass. I am specifically looking to travel:September 23 - Athens to AeginaSeptember 26 - Aegina to NaxosOctober 2 - Naxos to Heraklion, CreteIf anyone can point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance.

As a single woman travelling how safe is it with the sleepers trains? Any top tips would be greatly appreciated 👏 

Hi guys,I’m organizing my first trip in the Baltics and I was thinking about moving with LuxExpress, since trains are not the best around there. I was considering a night-bus from Warsaw to Vilnius and then day buses for Vilnius-Riga-Tallinn. Someone more experienced than me can please tell me if LuxExpress is a good company? How are the night-buses and the buses in general? Most importantly, is it safe to book now for August? And finally, how can I get a discount if I’m less than 26 y/o?I’m more accustomed to trains so I have no clue of how buses are or work… 😅Thank you very much in advance

Hey, I'm Émile, 19 from France.I'm about to go for a one-week trip around Western Europe, so I'm just leaving that here in case somebody crosses my path and wants to meet up.I'll start in Lille tomorrow (5th of August), then I'll stay in Ghent on the 6th. On the 7th I haven't planned anything yet, on the 8th I'll stay in Amsterdam. Then it's all free, I'll let things flow, so if you're somewhere else, I could go 😁I'd like to go through Germany and Switzerland to go back home (I live in Lorraine), maybe around the 10-12 (maybe later, depends how much money I have left), but nothing's fixed yet.I speak French, English, German, Hungarian, Russian btw.

Was just trying to enter my trip for tomorrow into the app, but encountered a bug in the app doing so. When planning from Basel Bad to Basel SBB I only get journeys by tram, even when I apply filters to switch off trams. It is, with some filtering, possible to get options by ICE from the planner but not the SBB S6. According to the SBB app it's running, but the app refuses to show it and only entering manually works for some reason. 

Hello trying to book a reserved seat. Need to do it at the station and no one understands the Eurail pass. I am in Bulgaria. cannot help please? 

Hey, I live and study in the netherlands but I don't have a official rental agreement and I´m not officially registered in the netherlands. Is it possible to use my student ID / Proof of enrolment as a official residency document, so I can choose netherlands as my country of residence? Generally, is there a general rule what counts as a general residency document? Happy to get some help with that :) GreetingsRikky

Per què serveix el planificador de la web interrail un cop tens descarregat el Rail Planner al mòbil? T'aporta algun servei afegit?

I’m into my second class pass for a few days now in Norway.  I’m having no luck reservation of seat on train if it’s required through eurail app. Entur website seems to require i buy ticket to reserve seat which doesn’t make sense.  I have to call customer service to reserve seat, lengthy wait but i get the reservation for seat.  Why is this so difficult?  I am thinking of upgrading to first class pass.  Any suggestions?

Hi guys!I know I have to activate the Flex Pass in the app by scheduling its 1-month validity period by 31st of August 2025, but I don’t know when I will travel or where, so I have no idea which day I will start my trip. Will I lose my pass if I don’t do it? Can I pick a random date and change it when I will plan my trip? Any help would be really appreciated.Thank you,Maria

I saved two trip with two different names for my up and coming visit to England. Without my consciously doing so, the app has linked the SECOND of these trip to my pass, even though the dates is obvious after the first trip. Will this be the one I get when I activate my pass? In which case I really have to start again otherwisew I’ll be out of synchronisation. (How) Can I do this? HEEELP

If I just delete the journey can I start again and make sure it doesn’t get added to the pass until I’m ready? (Wanted to do all this in advance as I’m going sommewhere with dicey Internet connections) Thanks as ever for the guidance

Hi All, Have been learning a bit about travelling with a bike in a train in Germany. (Might help some others. And also others might have better solutions)I found this quite challenging: 1) Tried the Eurail app - this does not seem possible. 2) Tried the db Bahn app - but this seemed difficult to do without also purchasing a normal ticket as well.3) Tried ringing the db bahn.. And discovered a lot of the fast train (ICE) legs were already booked. 4) Decided to then use db bahn to filter a trip without fast trains.. which then allow bikes without reservations. It made the trip longer.. But possible! (I don't think there is a way in the Eurail app to filter out the fast trains.. So had to cross reference from the db bahn app) Now an travelling on the train.. But got in trouble because I was travelling before 9am on a regional train.. Around 60 Euro fine.. But thankfully my Australian accent + tourist ignorance saved the day

Hello I am new to this and have made two errors and cannot for the life of me work out how to fix. I have put my journeys on my pass for each day, but when I reserved the ACTUAL seats in first class on one leg I have put in the wrong date. When I try to change it is says it is non changable and non refundable. Do I just leave these and lose the money and rebook seats on the correct day and pay again or is there a way to change.  My husband, daughter and I all got 7 day in 1 month passes and I have started a booking for all three of us and we are all on the same trains for the first 4 - then our daughter goes off on her own with friends and is on different trains and destinations to us, but I mucked up and started the booking with all of us together and now need to seperate it so I can book the last three journeys seperately - but can’t work out if I can do this or if I have to start again. I have paid for seats on each of the four journeys I have
