We ordered paper passes and do not get them delivered. Interrail said they did send them. PostNL said they never got them. Interrail says I have to go to PostNL PostNL says Interrail has to ask them information, not me. Interrail says it is not their problem. And we can not travel if we do not have passes   What can we do. Who can help us?

Hello,I’m 1st class  Eurail  pass holder.I plan to Caen ex Paris St Lazare.H’ever,only 2nd seat reservation fee shown on  rail planner.Please confirm if need to pay seat reservation fee for the 1st class pass holder .Thank you

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 was wondering, do I have had written-in for the meeting at 30th of August in Amsterdam?

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.

Dear fellow travellers, this is the first time I am using interrail. I have a flexi ticket for 4 days. I managed to book a seat on eurorail from London to Brussels (June 20th 2025 at 15.04). I paid and received the seat reservation. My understanding I have to add this trip to “my trip” on the app. But this train is not showing. Can I still travel with the seat reservation and somehow activate my day ticket on the app? Thanks in advance for the advice.

Hi all,I’m still trying to plot a route between Vienna and Zagreb over 2 days. I have been advised Graz but would prefer to be closer to Zagreb for a quick train in and car collection (meeting friends in Croatia) in the morning. We would like something a bit more rural after a few cities. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks so much!Sarah

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?

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  

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?

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
