How to make reservation for myself and another passanger who’s not an interrail holder?

Hello all, I am planning to do a domestic travel within France with my partner, however he’s not a pass holder. The only way I’m aware of is for me to book on travel.b-europe.com for myself as a pass holder, and for him separately on other sites. Which would also mean we would not be seated together as we’d like. It’s quite important for us since we rarely see each other. My question is : is there any other way for us to book together even though he’s not a pass holder? I’m a new user so I don’t know much.Big thanks in advance for all the replies!

Fees to change a reservation

I would like to book a trip Paris to London and just need to ensure I understand the rules. I have a Eurail 15 day 1st class pass. The way I understand it is that if I need to re-schedule, then the “Minimum 20 EUR per person exchange fee shall be levied for exchanging reservations in Standard Premier class” Is that right?

Short Trip - No reservations Available

Hey - We are off on a short 7 day trip Jan 1-9 and We are going from Paris to Amsterdam, Amsterdam to Bruge and Bruge to London - but I am so far only able to get a reservation for our Eurostar from Bruge to London Jan 5th. Question is - if there are no reservations for the fast trains - can one wait around the train station for a couple of hours with hopes to get on the trains - or will more reservations slowly appear?Should I keep checking back to see if reservations show up for some of our travel days or ask for a refund and book tickets normally?

What's the difference between the R43 and PE902

Can I just clear up the advice about the Glacier Express.I planned on taking the 08:20 EC train to Brig and then travelling on to Andermatt, From what I understand, the 10:18 (PE902) is the Glacier Express, which would require an (expensive) reservation. However the 8:20 EC would only give me a narrow window to make the connection.If I look at a Milan to Andermatt booking, it takes me from the 8:20 EC to R43 which leaves at 10:23. In an earlier post it was suggested that I book the 11:23 Brig to Andermatt, which is the R43. Should I be taking the PE902 or R43? What’s the difference?

What is a night train?

I see the Germany pass does not include night trains. Does this mean any train that travels though the night or just sleeper trains with beds? Would a normal ICE train leaving Munich at 1am for Berlin count as a night train?

⚠️ Paris - Turin - Milan line closure due to landslideTrain disruptions

The French national railways has announced that rail traffic between Modane and St-Michel-Valloire will be disrupted for the time being due to a landslide that was reported in the French Alps on 27th August. This would impact train journeys on the route between Paris – Turin – Milan for the next several months. Read more about it on the SNCF website.From 10th January, TGV trains will operate between Paris to Milan with a replacement bus from St Jean de Maurienne to Oulx after which passengers can continue their journey to Milan by train. The travel schedule including the replacement bus service with a slightly longer travel time will be updated on the Eurail Timetable and can also be found on the SNCF timetable. Your reservations will be valid for the whole route, including the replacement bus service. For more information, see this SNCF document.If you're planning to travel on the impacted route before 10th January, we recommend using an alternative route via Zurich. Please note that

Eurostar changes

Booked on Eurostar from London to Rotterdam in January. Have the paper reservations but not activated my pass on the app. As my end destination is Berlin I've noticed that I would get there earlier if I got off the Eurostar in Brussels rather than going on to Rotterdam. If I did this would it cause an issue upon my arrival in Brussels? Thanks

advance tickets vs global pass

Hi all,Planning a trip from Finland to southern France and back next October as a family of 4. I got the impression that separate train tickets bought well in advance might end up being cheaper than the global pass. But interrailing last summer to Italy and back we found that quite a few of the trains that we took were delayed. My question now is, what happens if we have bought separate tickets and one or more of our trains are delayed so that we won't be able to make the next connection? I understand that the global pass is considered a through ticket so we would be booked for the next available train, but if we have separate tickets do we need to buy new ones ourselves? Any other thoughts on the matter are also welcome 😊

Pregunta

Buenas tardes, Estamos interesados en hacer un interrail dentro de poco, por tanto nos dirigimos a vosotros para preguntaros algunas dudas acerca del viaje. Para empezar, nos han surgido varias dudas acerca de la documentación que se necesita para poder viajar. Por otra parte, nos gustaría saber todo sobre los precios: si hay algún descuento por ser estudiante, el precio total... Cuanto es la cantidad maxima de personas que pueden participar en el viaje? Hay diferentes modos de viajar allí o distintos clases? Para terminar, les agradeceríamos mucho que nos informaseis en torno al transporte y alojamientos que soléis usar. Nos gustaría tener una respuesta lo antes posible,Muchas gracias por la atención.Manex Larañaga.15/12/2023

Multiple trains to get in & out of country of residence

I live in rural France , - it will take at least two train journeys to get to the final train that will take me across the border into Switzerland. If these are all part of my outward journey itinerary on the same day, is this allowed?

Need Opinions For Our Holiday - First time taking the trains in Europe

Hi!My friends and I are traveling to Europe and plan on flying into Paris, taking a train to the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and then back to Paris. What is the best way to go about this? I’ve been to Europe but never taken the train except inside just the countries alone. Where are the Eurail train stations, is there a better railroad to use, or how do these passes work? About how long would they take to each country, or is it maybe better to rent a car for the more cheaper option? How many travel days should I choose? Any feedback would be great and appreciated! We are only in Europe for 13 days so planning on staying in each country around 3 days. We also have luggage, so is there a limit of what you can bring on the train too. Thank you!
