ready to explore… but very nervous!

Hi!  This will be our very first time in Europe. We are trying to plan a couple days prior to our cruise. We are considering  flying into London and staying the night, then hoping over to Paris to quickly see the Eiffel Tower and taking the train from there to Switzerland. We would like to spend Friday & Saturday night there then head to Rome ( I think we need to fly) to board our cruise. After the cruise we planned to take a train to Venice for the day and then fly back to the US from there. We are open to any and all suggestions & tips!I am getting a little confused and nervous about how and when to book the different train rides. At points it seems fairly straightforward but then I really start second guessing and do not want to cause us extra stress and or expense!  Help!! Thank you!!

First Class Eurail Pass and Elige Confort Seat Reservation

Hello!  We have purchased 1st Class Eurail Passes for Spain.  My understanding is that this allows you to sit in the first class car of the train.  I’m not sure if there is any other benefit???   I have purchased first class seat reservations, when required, for each train that we’ll be taking.   The seat reservation ticket says Elige Confort.  So, a couple of questions… 1) How will I know what cars of the train are First Class?  2) Are there seat assignments in the First Class car or are we able to sit in any seat of that car?Thank you for any info you can provide.

Questionnaire sur l'expérience Interrail (FR)

Hellooo les français ! Je fais mon mémoire de fin de licence sur le voyage en Interrail (notamment en tant qu'expérience humaine et sociale). Ce questionnaire s’adresse aux personnes ayant déjà voyagé avec Interrail au moins une fois. N'hésitez pas à y répondre, ça prend que quelques minutes et ça m'aiderait énormément ! Merci d'avance 😉  Voici le lien : https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc2p38UpEgBj-JBu84o__veVE23UebDbM4rO50BHpqVERC3yQ/viewform?usp=sf_link Margot

Can't purchase seat reservations

Purchased Eurail Spain Flexi Pass for 6 days within 1 month beginning April 5.  Passes are in RailPlanner and shows “Ready for Travel”.  I chose the trains we will use for our days of travel and they show up in My Trip. They all require seat reservations but I don’t know how to actually reserve them. When I click on the details of the trip, it shows the train number and states Seat Reservations Required but how do I actually reserve and purchase them?  If I go to My Pass, it states Add a Journey at the bottom of the page. When I click on that, it shows the same train info that’s in My Trip so how do I actually put that info into My Pass? Also, none of my information is on the Eurail website.  How do I connect the two? I thought I could add the information manually, but the train times are different.Thank you for any help you can provide!

Reservation help please

My wife and I each have a Global pass on our phones.I purchased 2 reserved seats on the Bernina express in June and have a ticket for 2 people on 1 sheet of paper.Do we simply each add that trip to MY PASS in each of our apps and when asked, we each show the trip on our app and I show the paper reservation for 2 people? Or is there more to it?Thank you

Pass Deutschland/Schewiz

Ich lebe in Deutschland, ich werde im August in mehrere Städte in die Schweiz fahren, meine Frage ist:Wenn ich einen Global Pass kaufe, sind Hin- und Rückfahrkarten mit dem Zug von Deutschland nach Schweiz inbegriffen oder muss ich zwei Pässe kaufen, einen für die Schweiz und einen für Deutschland?Was wäre die günstigste Lösung? Würde es bedeuten, nur den Switzerland Pass zu kaufen und das Hin- und Rückfahrticket für den Zug von Deutschland aus zu bezahlen?Ich habe bei der Deutschen Bahn nachgefragt und die Preise sind viel teurer, aber der Kauf von 2 Pässen ist auch sehr teuer!! :(Vielen lieben Dank

Trip to Greece from France

Hi! I’m planning to go to Greece from Marseille with the global pass of 15 days within 2 months. My plan is to do the North of Italy first, then go to Slovenia, Austria, Hungary and then Croatia. I planned to go down the Adriatic coast and join Greece this way but I came to realize that Albania isn’t reachable by train and I was wondering if Bosnia and Montenegro are ? Seems that there are no trains from Croatia to Bosnia. Any advices would be great ! Thanks in advance

Reassurance that I don’t need to reserve tickets

Hi, I am looking at a train I will be getting from Salzburg to Budapest Saturday 27th July.Either 11.07 or 13.07 direct. It confirms free with Interail pass and no seat reservations required. But this pops up when I click on train time, saying  no seat guaranteed? I just want to confirm this is to do with other trains and not mine? Many thanks ☺️

Veneza - roma (rota alternativa para ver se consigo economizar)3. quero visitar o Vaticano (será que um passe para os transportes internos é muito caro? Somos 4 pessoas)4. Roma - França ou Veneza - França (rota alternativa)Então estou procurando resolver esses percursos para assim saber se terei que comprar passes separadamente. Obrigada

confused on how to book eurostar tickets from London St Pancras to Brussels

Hi, after a fab reply to my initial question last week about booking train from London to Salzburg I have gone onto www.raileurope.com to see if tickets are available ( I think it might be next Sunday they are out?).I went onto rail passes ( rather than train tickets) to book 9.01 from St Pancras’s to Brussels. Nothing seems to come up to enter interail pass ) just railcards). It just tells you full price of ticket. Is this because the tickets with an interail pass are still not available yet?Also can I book my return at same time for Sat 10th August from Brussels to London.   ( is it cheaper?) or can I only book two singles?I want to be fully prepared for when the seats do become available. Many thanks 🙏

Paris to Rome travelling on 4 Feb 24

Pls help, I am worried about my route and connecting. Seems route is joining local trains and is not an international route.Are the stops & connecting time’s realistic? They seem so short to me.Is the route and arrival at the stations safe esp during the times with small kids?

Frankfurt - Zurich - Zermatt - Zurich - Frankfurt

Hello All! Great Community! I have a very quick question regarding the possibility of my weekend trip:A 4 day global pass is needed for the following:-Friday: Frankfurt - Zürich-Saturday: Zürich - Zermatt-Sunday: Zermatt - Frankfurt (with stop in Zürich)(with one day to spare).And as I have seen I can use any trains for these trips right? Even the ICE for Frankfurt to Zürich as an example. (As long as they show up when I search using the interrail search engine). If I just take the trip Zürich - Zermatt and back a one-country pass would be enough right? (Making sure I understood correctly). Thank you very much in advance!

Trying to book Eurostar with eurail/interail site, St Pancras to Salzburg

Hi,Trying to book 3 seats for 9.01 (0r 8.34) it changes!, for Saturday 19th July from London St Pancras to Salzburg. I am desperate to start reserving seats as mum going Interrailing for 3 weeks with my teenage girls and want to get it all confirmed. I realise the final two parts of the journey on German trains are (I think) not available to book yet.But tried to book first leg of journey (London to Brussels Midi and Brussels Midi to Frankfurt), remembering to reserve seats, and it all goes through until payment. Then will not let me, says error with part of journey.Is it just that the seats are still not available to book yet? I don't want it to fill up. I also tried to book our journey home 3 weeks later on Friday 9th August, overnight Nightjet train from Vienna to London and similar thing happened, this was on the OBB website using Method 1 (as explained on Man in seat 61, a life saver for many!)I would be grateful for any reassurance!

90-day reservations on Nightjet from Stuttgart to Venice

Hi everyone. The Interrail/Eurail website has consistently been telling me that reservations for this service open 90 days prior to travel date, in my case 22 October. Reservations therefore ‘opened’ a couple of days ago yet the only option I am given on Interrail is a second class seat and, on OBB, the option to reserve a section of the seating compartment. From others’ knowledge and experience, will the sleeping berths have sold out, which seems increasingly likely as tickets look like they’ve been available on OBB for months! If this is the case then the reservations section on the Interrail website contains misleading information. Many thanks Richard

I mistyped My Name

Hello! I have a question about the Eurail Global Pass! I am planning to use the Eurail Global Pass for 10 days starting Feb 2. However, when I made my reservation I mistyped my name with two capital letters "TOmohiro" instead of "Tomohiro". Will this interfere with my use of Eurail in Europe?
