I’m struggling to book simple tix from Bern to Basel in late June. There’s no booking availability on the Eurail app, and the Bahn app I’m directed to doesn’t have ability to enter Eurail passes. I don’t understand what we are supposed to do - it’s just three tix one way?? Eurail pass is first class (but I don’t think that matters). I understand reservations aren’t required, but why can’t I reserve? I know the train is available as I can book seats via the Train app (Eurail passes not accepted), but I’ve spent thousands on the Eurail passes and don’t really want to pay more again. 

Guys, I wanted to know if it is mandatory to do the day of travel in and out of your country during the 7 days of travel. Are they optional? Can I use those days directly outside the my country

Hi everyone,I've been trying to reserve seats for two passengers on the Eurail website for the train from Budapest to Vienna on August 12th at 6:55 AM (EC 140) for over a week now, but without success.Every time I try, the reservation either doesn’t load or I receive an error. I’ve tried different devices and browsers, but the issue persists. I’ll attach a screenshot of the problem for reference.Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? Any tips or recent updates would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance for your help! 

Rail strikes in Belgium will impact train travel from 10 p.m. on 19 May to 10 p.m. on 20 May CET. Due to the strike, a limited number of trains will be running, and alternative train services will operate in accordance with SNCB railway staff availability.We recommend checking the planner in the Rail Planner App or the SNCB timetable shortly before departing for your planned journey for up-to-date train times. To find out more about the strike, please read the SNCB strike announcement. Delay compensation:

I’m staying there between 16th-18th May, anyone fancy to meet and drink good coffee together?  tack!

Hi there, I am considering booking a seat reservation on the TGV from Lausanne to Avignon TGV on Sunday, the 20th of July, for 7:52 am.I have to book it on the Interrail web page, as I won my pass with DiscoverEU, and this year they are providing 4 free seat reservation credits only through the Interrail seat reservation page.Does anyone know why the seat reservation appears unavailable (see image below) on the Interrail page yet available to purchase for €29 on RailEurope?The DiscoverEU person I was dealing with was not able to help me. They advised me to choose a different route/departure, or if I wanted the seat reservation, I would have to pay for it on Rail Europe.The problem is that this direct train saves over an hour compared to taking a different departure/route and only goes once a day. I have to travel on Sunday.Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated. 

Hi, I am going on a trip with 3 other friends this summer. We have all bought the Eurail pass and am starting to book some night trains ahead of time. One concern I have is ensuring that we are all in the same cabin when booking couchettes. I have added my friends to my trip, but that just makes me have to pay for their tickets as well when booking. Is there any way to have my friends pay for their own tickets but still ensure that we will all be together on the overnight trip? Thanks!

Hi,When using the planner, Is it possible to add different journeys on the same day, and will they automatically result in just one single travel day ? For example, we want to travel from Antwerp to Belfast -< if we put these destination at once in the travel planner, we would lose 2 travel days because of not always showing the best connections or not showing all trains available. If we split this trip in different journeys we are able to do the whole track in just a single travel day. However, we're not really sure that we can split it and add it like this without losing an extra travel day. Anyone who knows the answer? We made already some reservations on the Eurostar according to the best suited time schedule (separately).

Hi all,My partner and I just brought a 10 day eurail pass to start in june 15 th this year. I started to plan my journey and to my confusion when i looked at a journey from winterthur to wengen it says not in pass network ?? Also wengen to st gallen ??I thought that this 10 day eurail pass covers switzerland ?? Am i now to find to my horror that this 10 pass may not cover all our journeys and we may be paying much much more.Hoping this is not trueThanks community  

Hi, I'm in Lauterbrunn. I want to visit the snowy mountains, but I don't want to spend more. Are there any trains that my second-class pass includes? Thanks

When looking at the station departures on the Interrail app it would show you the destination, train type and journey length at a glance so you know whether it was an RE or IC train.After the latest app update the journey length and train type has been removed from the search results and instead it just shows the destination and platform number and you have to click on each one individually to see the train type and journey length. I'm sure that I won't be the only one who is not happy about this change as Interrail usually enhances functionality and not make it more difficult to see important information  

I am keen to start my journey this year from France into Spain on this special sounding train across the Pyrenees, but I am very confused by its itinerary. The Man in Seat 61 speaks of the possibility of boarding in Perpignan but SNCF just barges in and takes over when I try to check that on their site, and only shows TGVs to Barcelona! The other departure point is Toulouse, which is less problematic.What I need please is details of these two routes to Barcelona with the pricing structure, making it possible to do the journey with minimum cost. Also. can I go to one of the above main stations and simply buy a ticket? If it is as inexpensive as it looks, I won’t need to use a precious travel day getting to Barcelona.Thank you! Brian (87, still going strong...)

We are travelling from the UK to Mulhouse in France via Eurostar to Paris, TGV to Strasbourg and then TER to Mulhouse on 11 June. This is one of the days identified by SNCF for strikes by rail workers in France.We are en route to the Alps the next day, so could have travelled via Belgium and Germany instead, but needed to book Eurostar before the allocation of Interall passholder fares ran out, (booked via Rail Europe) and before the June strike dates were announced, and so went for the route through Paris instead.Is there any way of changing the Eurostar booking to a destination of Brussels instead of Paris, other than buying a whole new reservation at 40 Euro per person? As far as i can see you can only change time and date, not destination, on Eurostar bookings.Based on past strikes, SNCF seem to advise only a few days in advance of strike action if a specific train will be running, but that is not much use if there is no way of changing a Eurostar booking a

The start of our trip to Italy begins with a flight into the ROME airport. We are then traveling to Naples. That first journey inlcudes a local train from the Airport to downtown ROME and then a train from ROME to Naples. I had to make reservations on the ROME to Naples train. What I’ve just realized is that the first leg is a train from ROME Airport Fiumicino to the ROME Ostiense station. We then have to take public transportation from the ROME Ostiense station to the ROME Termini station and we have only 30 minutes between arrival at Ostiense and when the train from Termini to Naples is scheduled. There are no 2nd class train options from the Airport station to the Termini station that morning on the Eurail app, so I’m going to schedule a separate train on ItaliaRail from the airport to the Termini station in plenty of time to make the train to Naples. My question is whether it’s necessary to cancel the Journey I already have scheduled and schedule a new Journey on Eurail for just

HelloI booked night train tickets between Paris and Berlin with OBB Nightjet. These tickets are non-cancellable and were issued as PDFs.Unfortunately, I have to cancel this trip with my partner because her exams have been postponed at the time of the trip.1/ Do you know if there is a way to still get a refund, even partial, in cases of force majeure?2/ Do you know if it's possible to sell them to relatives and easily change the name on the ticket?Thank you for your help. Have a great day.

Our QR code for the trip did not work at the gate.

Mother/daughter trip to Europe in July, and it’s been a long time since I used Eurail (going back to the old punch card days!). I’m using the option to “Plan your Trip” on the Eurail site. I have not booked our Eurail passes, but leaning toward the first-class 5-day pass for the following… Paris to Interlaken : Interlaken to Venice : Venice to Innsbrook :  Innsbrook to MunichQuestion 1I feel silly asking, but how do I know there will be seats available for the stops noted above? Back in the day, we just winged it, but now I have my 14 year old daughter with me and I’m making hotel reservations in advance. We’re traveling in July and I know it’s super busy.Question 2 A reservation is required for Paris to Belfort, and it notes that I need to buy a seat reservation onboard. Anyway to buy in advance? Perhaps the option will show once I purchase the Eurail passes?Question 3When I see “short transfe

Help to plan to explore for amsterdam leaving from brussels 

Hi, I put my tickets in my account on the app. so all my tickets are in the railplanner. But I cannot put them on the sktop version of my account. The tickets where bought by my husband under his name and his emailadres. But I put the tickets ON MY PLANNER APP. That didn’t seem to be a problem. BUt now I cannot see the tickets in my account on the desktop on my laptop. SO how can I CONNECT APP and DESKTOP?

I am a first time Eurail user. I am using the planer to go from Luxembourg to Heidelberg and it say there is a replacement bus. Is that normal and if so will my Eurail pass be accepted?

Bonjour tout le monde Petite question, je cherche à réserver un train de France direction l'Allemagne (Cologne) et je me posais une question. La première fois que j'avais voyagé en InterRail direction l'Allemagne j'avais réservé une place assise sur le site Interrail mais j'ai entendu que c'était pas le mieux. Sur le site de la deutschban (DB) j'ai vu des places pour 5,20€ mais ça me paraît vraiment pas cher, mais ça correspond bien à ma recherche pour Montpellier - Strasbourg. Après Strasbourg je prendrais des trains sans réservation obligatoire.  Sur Rail Europe j'ai vu 10€ mais j'ai vu des commentaires pas très bien sur ce site, est-ce vraiment fiable ? Quel site me conseillez-vous pour réserver une place assise pour France-Allemagne ? Merci beaucoup !
