Hat jemand eine Idee wie ich am besten von Zürich nach L'Éstertit in Spanien komme?

Hello! I’m trying to travel from Paris to Amsterdam, and although I have a ticket from using my pass, there are no 2nd class seats available. There are 1st class seats available, but I do not have the 1st class pass. We were told we are able to buy the 1st class seat reservation, but I’m not sure how that will work since we only have a 2nd class pass. Am I able to upgrade my pass for 1 time only? Will they charge me for a 1st class ticket although I have a 2nd class ticket? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you! 

I’m trying to book a ticket from Munich to Verona on 12th September. The Man in Seat 61 gives trains which includes an 11:32 from Hbf but when I go onto the DB website it’s an 11:02 from Hbf and all the other trains that (per DB) day go from Munich Ost not Hbf. On OBB website they ALL go from Hbf. They’ve all got different departure times as well although they have the same train numbers.I have booked a reservation on OBB as it gives the trains and times I want but I’m now worried that perhaps OBB have not got the up-to-date trains, my train may leave from a different time and station and that my seat reservation won’t be valid.Who should I trust? Any ideas?

We want to buy two seats for a ferry from Athens to Santorini on Wednesday, August 13th, and we don't know how to do it. Even though we entered all the information, the discount isn't showing.We already purchased the Greek Islands Pass, but the cost is still very high.We urgently need help. Thank you very much.

Hello, just a question about the 5 day pass: Can I choose the days during which to travel? If I understood well during a 2 weeks trip I can take a train only 5 times? Thanks a lot  

I am looking to travel in Late October, so within 90 day booking window, and when I search reservations for trains from Madrid to Caceres, I see the train I want is available and reservations can be booked, but when I log in to purchase, they are no longer available and I get a message “No Price Results were found, Passholder reservations may be sold out”I have tried different browsers and even tried rail Europe (no results found for this route) and Happy Rail (no prices found). Can any one identify my problem and have a resolution?

To the Interrail community,I’m planning on spending around 4-5 days in Switzerland, probably using Interlaken as a base. I would appreciate any recommendations for things to do - I was planning on doing a couple of nice hikes, maybe go for a swim somewhere in nature and take a gondola up the mountains. I was thinking of visiting Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald but other suggestions would be welcome.  I’m on a budget and do not drive so places that are fairly accessible by train would be helpful. I’m also into sustainability so would prefer to avoid lots of tourists - I realise this is harder to do during the summer!Thanks,Felix 

Completely new to planning rail journeys. Looking for suggestions for xmas and new year and what accomodation options are good value? Travelling on a budget but not hostel.    

How do book an overnight sleeper compartment for two from Prague to Budapest?

Hi all,Looking for ideas and destinations best to travel by train to cover xmas and new year. 

Hi. I' m travelling from Madrid to Lisbon on October 21st with my family on interrail. I have received good information in this group, but there are still things I do not quite understand. At the moment I can only find one connection (3 changes- 8-9 hours and with one change with only 3 minutes change time) during the day, I like to travel. Is that because the time table has not yet been put on the site? And if so- when will it normally be released? I'm not quite sure if there are many connections where you're not allowed to go with your interrail ticket. Do you by any chance know anything about that? Best wishes Agnethe.

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, 

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?  

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

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

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

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 

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

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

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.

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.

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 

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