I am travelling from Avignon to Annecy with an Interrail global pass. Do I need to book seat reservations and if so how? Thank you for any adviceJan

Hi Team,We are a group of 5 people and planning to travel to switzerland from Netherlands on 2 April 2025 Evening.Further, we have to come back to Netherlands on 6 April 2025.Below are the journeys that I found suitable for us: I have the following questions:I have residence card of netherlands (I am not the citizen) so I can purchase Interrail pass of Switzerland instead of Global pass? If I am eligible for purchasing Interrails pass then how much days should I purchase or If global then how many days should I purchase?Furthermore, please tell me how to best plan my journey such:When to purchase ticket via rail planner application When generating tickets, should I break my journey? or book the ticket for ultimate destination?  Considering the fact that I read this on the link:https://www.interrail.eu/en/interrail-passes/what-is-interrail/travel-your-own-country 

I will be travelling from June 8 (arriving in Amsterdam) and then leaving Zurich on July 11. I am thinking of getting a 7 days within a month pass. As a senior the price is $310US (15% discount promotion till April 1).  Given that, I should start to use my pass on June 11. I will train from Amsterdam to Germany. Then to Austria (Vienna, Salzberg, Schladming - all one day),  Zurich, Zermatt and back to Zurich to fly home.In Zermatt, all the funicular, gondolas and railway rides are not covered by the Eurail pass. I will have to get a Peak to Peak Pass ( 2 days for $260CHF)to see the sights. If I have the Swiss half fare card ($137 US), I can get 50% discount on the Peak to Peak Pass. The transportation cost is starting to add up (Eurail, Peak to Peak).  Should I purchase individual train tickets instead? Will it normally be cheaper? For example, Amsterdam to Dusseldorf (Germany) will be $75 US per person with the cancellation option.  Thanks,Joyce

Hello,Five days ago I purchased a 5-day within 1-month 1st class pass for EUR404.  I have not activated the pass, but I did use the pass number to make several seat reservations at RailEurope.Today, Eurail has a 15% off sale, so the same pass is only EUR344 today.  Because it has been less than 7 days since I purchased it, I can request a full refund, and then re-purchase at the sale price.But, the new pass will have  a new pass number.  Can I still use the seat reservations that I made with the current pass, or will I lose those seat reservations and need to re-purchase them?Thanks,Bennett

Hey,I‘d like to travel through my homecountry, specifically through Germany, because I travel from Amsterdam to Copenhagen. I don’t need the outbound journey in the beginning of my pass (I start in the Uk). Is it possible for me to have the so-called outbound on travelday 3,4,5,… and is it possible to travel through my homecountry with the Interrail pass anyway? thanks for your help!!

Hi,Ada from Australia here and totally new!I'm planning this itinerary starting May 10th:Day 1 - Turin Italy) to MunichDay 2 - Munich to ViennaDay 3 - Vienna to PragueDay 4 - Prague to DresdenDay 5- Dresden to BerlinDay 6 - Berlin to ParisDay 7 - Paris to Turinstaying in every town 2-4 nights.Thinking to buy a 7 days Pass. I did some homework and  I will save some money, even with the Seat reservation fees, plus the freedom to change plans.Question 1: to use/show the e-pass on your phone do I need an internet connection? This is because I do not have the phone that I’ll use in Italy at the moment, and I’m doingn everything on may australian phone. When in Europe I willuse it only with wi-fi and not the data. Question 2: on Seat61 I found this advice for the ICE Berlin Paris: “Do not make a normal seat-reservation-only booking for €5.20 on Germany-Paris TGVs/ICEs using int.bahn.de, as you would for other German trains.  On TGV/ICE trains to/from Paris this is not sufficient as (a) the r

My wife and i are travelling together - How will it work if i download the mobile pass (for the two of us) on my cell phone. 

Hello! Having decided to go interrailing in early 2024, I’ve taken no action so far, which is really ridiculous! This is probably not unconventional at all, but is it unwise at all to just book a pass with no sense of dates? I’m in a position where I could take a month or so off to go travelling and just think that booking the pass will actually spur me to take action. Does anyone have any advice on this approach? Does booking a pass with absolutely no planning work? For a bit more context, I have about €2300 saved for this trip. Now thinking €3000 might be more realistic… Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone !This summer, I would like to go to Stockholm with my partner and our two daughters. Our departure will be Paris.I have many questions for the community to better plan our trip:At the time of the trip, our daughters will have 10 months and 3 years → so they won’t need a pass to travel, right? On the web, I saw different possibilities to join Stockholm from Paris.  Paris → Cologne → Hambourg → Copenhague → Stockholm or Paris → Düsseldorf → Hambourg → Stockholm. Has anyone ever done one of these two journeys? What type of pass do you recommend to us?

Need confirmation that the 7 day pass can be used for the following itineraryMunich → RegensburgRegensburg → BerlinBerlin → PraguePrague → BudapestBudapest → Paris (flight)Paris → FrankfurtFrankfurt → BambergBamberg → FrankfurtFor our final leg Frankfurt → Paris  we will need to purchase a separate ticket as this will be the 8th travel dayThank you for your help     

How do I book seat reservations with GWR in the UK? There is no seat reservations to choose from, only tickets to buy?! read ACP cost and reservations should be free within UK.Thank you 😊 

I am searching Vienna to Krakow and find EC106 at 8:10.  It runs directly from Vienna to Krakow, but the only way it appears in the planner is with 2 changes.  Both OBB and RailEurope show the direct train, and RailEurope says it’s available the pass, and with no seat reservation required.  I guess I can just insert it manually (doesn’t look difficult), but hard to understand why to direct route does not appear.  I have checked multiple dates.  We’ve traveled multiple times with Eurail Global and never encountered this…..any comments?

My boyfriend and I will be traveling from Brasov to Vienna taking the night train around the 15th of AprilBut I cannot, for the life of me, find where to make the reservations for a bed. I have already tried the OBB website but it says ‘ticket not available’ over and over again… On the Romanian website I can’t seem to add my rail pass while booking… Anyone who can help me is a life saver!

Hello!  Besides the Rail Planner app, what other apps helped you organizing the whole trip (Accomodation reservation, train schedule and reservation, other ways of transport, etc…)  Thank you!  

Wie kann ich einzelne Fahrten aus der Meine-Reise-Maske wieder löschen? Es werden sonst unübersichtlich viele Einträge und ich bekomme später zum Codegenerieren Probleme beim Finden.

HI - I am looking at a 4 day pass in August to travel in Italy and then to Switzerland - I assume once I have bought the pass I then go ahead and book the trains - but how close to the time is it best to book?  Also, I have noticed on some of the journeys there is a change - this is not a problem, but some of the change times are like 9 minutes - if I miss the train am I ok getting the next one.  I have heard stories you could get charged extra for not being on the right train

We’ll be starting in Zurich, then traveling to Amsterdam, Berlin, and possibly Krakow or Warsaw. After that, we’ll visit Prague, Vienna, and Budapest, but we’re open to changes along the way.I speak English, Italian, Romanian, and a little Russian, so feel free to reach out if you’re interested or have any questions.

Hello,May I use Global pass for S1,S2,S3 in Leipzig ?Thank You

Hola, mis amigas y yo tenemos el pase Flex para hacer el Interrail este verano. Hemos organizado ya los trenes y queríamos reservar los asientos. Pero en la mayoría nos pone una notificación en rojo de que no hay resultados de precios para reservar el tren pues es posible que se hayan agotado. Sin embargo, desde HelpCenter me han dicho que eso no pasa nada, que continúe con mi reserva. Pero ya no sé qué hacer. Que alguien me ayude por favor. 

Hello everyone 😎 I am planning a 2 month trip next year to France, Austria, Switzerland and Italy. I am travelling totally by train.With the Global Pass /Continuous 2 month Pass, does that mean it is used from major cities between countries eg Zurich to Vienna to Paris and so on or can it  be also used in say Austria, where I will be for 10 days, between all the towns I want to visit?Hope I explained this well enough to followSue 

There is a national rail strike scheduled for 19 March 2025 in Italy, which is one of our travel days.I’m not sure what happens about ticket validity if we can’t travel on that date and have to do so on another day.We have reserved seats on a particular train (Messina to Palermo) and this constitutes one of our travel days - I’ve already filled in details on our paper Global First Class travel passes.The rules on travel days seem to be quite strict - do we lose that day’s travel?If we spend money on another train do we have to claim that on travel insurance?

SalveSto cercando di prenotare i posti per l’interrail direttamente dal sito. Seleziono tutti i treni che mi interessano e quando vado in fase finale mi da sempre un errore  Spiacenti, si è verificato un errore. Non siamo riusciti a salvare i tuoi dati. Riprova o contatta il Servizio Clienti se il problema persiste. Non riesco a proseguire Inoltre vorrei sapere se c’è una modalità online di prenotare i posti per le tratte gestite da Eurostar in quanto sia da sito loro che dal portale non riesco. Grazie

Hello! I have used these passes before but this time - it just seems more confusing so I hope someone can help.1. On this site - it asked if I wanted to generate a pass cover to use on trains trains - sure?. What is a pass cover? This is different than my Eurail Global Pass so what is this for? Can I book directly on other train sites?2.Also - I already worked out my itinerary and bought my tickets - can I still make a trip plan so I can see it more organized on this site (as well as that I bought some tickets through RailEurope)? 3.My trips show up on laptop but not on app - suggestions? ​​​​​​​THANKS!

Hi, I’m going to France this April.I have got the App from SNFC, now I can buy ordinary tickets to most trains in France but...going by Interrail means you only have to buy reservations - and on certain trains.On the app I miss the option to book ONLY seat reservations - anyone who has tried the app and actually booked a seat reservation on this app?I know that I can book reservations through Interrail, well, sometimes it´s easier to buy through the rail company.My actual problem is: Going by nighttrain from Paris to Capdenac and then from there going on to Lourdes. I have bougt reservervations the first part Paris/Caperdanac. In the morning I have to take at first a TER-train heading Toulouse and then lastly a Intercite from Toulouse to Lourdes. And then it would be nice to use this SNFC app and buy a seat for the last part - the Intercite train.I know it is not always mandatory on the Intercite trains in France to have a seat reservation. But it might be nice not to rush to much (may

Hi there! I’m a little lost at the moment. I try to get a reservation for a couchette to get from Utrecht Central to Basel SBB on 25-07-2025 departure time 20.47, arrival time 06.20. I can literally see on OBB that there are tickets available, but I don’t have a credit card and therefore am unable to pay. Is there any other way to get such a reservation? I’ve tried with NS international, but as far I can see, you can’t add an interrail card as a discountcard.
