We are travelling on the sleeper from Amsterdam to Innsbruck next month and have reserved a couchette for 4. Is there room in the couchette for 2 cases ? Thanks! 

Hey!We will be soon in Greece and we are struggling to find any train connections in the rail planner. We will be going from Sofia to Thessaloniki with the Bus, since there is no train going, but we are not sure if we need to travel by bus also in Greece or if there is a way to take a train to different destinations.

Hi,So I got a 4 day global interrail pass in order to go from the Netherlands to Italy and also to Scotland in two separate trips. I read online that if you want to use the pass for separate trips where you return to your starting country in between that you need to buy a ticket to get in and out of the starting country for your way back and way out in between trips. Which is what I did, and am now currently back in the country where I started and will be going to scotland soon. But my confusion is that on the My Pass page of the interrail app, it says I’ve used 1/3 Outbound/inbound, but shouldnt that be ½? Does this mean that I can use the interrail pass to get out and back in on my second journey as opposed to getting a local fare to leave NL and picking up my journey with the interrail pass from there? Has anyone else has similar experiences or noticed the same thing with their pass? Thanks in advance

Hello! I will travel with Interrail for the first time in one week. I really hope somebody can help me. I am really confused. My question is whether I can add a journey on an active day. Here is my problem: I want to travel from Hanover (Germany) to Munich (Germany). I want to stay there for some hours and use the night train to Venice (Italy). I already know that there is no extra “active” day when using a night train but how does it work with the stay? I would have to use two “active” days when I stay in Munich for some hours although it is just one day. It says that the inspector have to see the train you’re staying in, when he scans the barcode. But how is it handled when you’re not traveling the exact route that is on your “ticket” because the rail planner didn’t show it?   

we are in rotterdam. but we want to go to france for a week. what proxy do we need?

Hello all, I'm planning a trip to the Greek Islands and I have a questions regarding the booking order. I understand that the first booked must be the first leg to match the activation date and the first day used as a travel day. However, in my case, I want to book from Athens to Paros on the 20th, and then from Ios to Athens on the 30th. Those are the only 2 routes I am sure I want to book via the 4 day ferry pass as of right now. And that would be fine, but what I don't know if I can do is: can I, on the 23th (for example) being in Paros, book a new route for the 24th to go to another island? Or would i only be able to book routes that chronologically occur after the second booked one (already returning from Ios to Athens)? From reading other questions I see i need to add journeys for each travel day, but the website really doesn't tell whether one can add a journey between two days that were already planned in the mobile pass.  Perhaps a solution would be to book all tickets as I de

i can’t book the reservation from wien to bologna centrale. i can see trains on the Interrail website but i can’t see them on ÖBB. please help me, this is the last step for our trip

Hello,is the train from Bologna to Brenner not included in the Italy pass? 

Hi, I would like to use my interrail pass in October.I would like to activate it now in order to book trains that require seat reservations.However, I will get a new passport in September. My new passport will have a new passport number. Is there a way of changing the passport number after activation of the pass ?Could I, for example, activate and deactivate the pass ? Or is there a way of booking trains that require seat reservations without activating the pass ?Thank you in advance !Best wishes,Anne

Hello!I just purchased Eurail flexipass 4 days 1st class. I am trying to book those 4 days.   1st trip is Paris to Lausanne. It seems that I should put in my pass order number but haven’t seen an option for that. The system wants to charge us $86.58 for two of us and $4.44 booking fee.   Seat reservations are required. Why this charge?

Hi!I’m planning my interrail trip for september but i’m a bit confused. I’m supposed to go from Verona to Lake Bled. When searching trains I found out that it would be possible to go there if I travel by Villach. However the train from Villach to Lesce (Bled) doesn’t show on the eurail timetable although i can find it for example in Omio. Is the train included in the pass or not if it isn’t included in the timetable?Thank you in advance for your help! :)

I am from Canada.  I will be traveling with three other people … all of us over 60.  We are traveling in Portugal and Spain.  I have booked all but one leg of the train segments.  I am having a great deal of trouble booking seat reservations.  I find this system not user friendly nor is the help when I get an email response.  Does anyone know how to book reservations.  Is there a telephone number I can call to get help with bookings?

Hello, I’m trying to plan for a trip to Barcelona From France and was hoping for some advice on how to access the trains. I have a Eurail pass and would like to take the cheapest option, would I be able to buy the tickets to enter Spain in France or at the station with the applied discount? Also, does the Eurail pass work inside the borders of Spain as well, can I take a train to Portugal from within with my pass?

Hi Some months ago I bought a train reservation for Bologna to Milano at 11:05 on 14/8 (intercity 604) via the interrail website. However, today I tried to find the train on railplanner and I cannot find it, but I need to add the train to my digital pass… What should I do? Is there another way to find it? Thanks a lot!!

When I use planner and I need to change trains it says that transfer is by public transport. I am a little confused. Does it mean that it is arranged or do I need to use for example a bus to do that?

Hi,  Trying to find out how to actually book a sleeper train from Basel to Berlin. Is it as simple as using the reservations app on this site (i don’t have access yet as have not bought ticket). Amy 

Hello all!In 12 days time I’m starting my first interrail trip! I just wanted to ask you all for some help/tips on what to/not to pack.Our route is as follows:28th July - 31st Madrid 31st - 2nd August Barcelona 2nd - 4th Naples 4th - 6th Florence 6th - 8th Bologna 8th - 10th Munich 10th - 14th Prague 14th - 17th Berlin 17th - 18th Amsterdam 18th - 19th Rotterdam 19th - 20th Brussels 20th - 22nd Paris and finally 22nd - 27th Bordeaux So overall there’s a lot of hot countries, so shorts and light clothing has already been acquired, but I just wanted to ask for help on items like packing squares, first aid kits, towels etc. What are other essentials other than the obvious like clothes, toiletries, power banks  etc, that some of you more experience travellers would recommned? Thank you all so much in advance for the help!

First, this is my first time using your services. Second, I think I activated my 22 days mobile Global pass on July 16, 2023 on your application but I'm not sure if I really activated the mobile pass and if what I do it's ok? I will be traveling from July 22 to August 12, 2023. Will I be able to use it on July 22 and on August 12 too? Third, I would like to know from what date exactly I could start using my 22 consecutive days with my 22 days mobile pass with the information I gave you? Fourth, if I did an activation mistake (e.g. too soon), especially since I haven't used anything yet, how could I fix it? Thanks!

I want to book the TGV 9704 train from Barcelona to Paris on October 3, 2023 but it doesn't seem possible to book. It doesn't let me do it at another time or another day before or after. Do you know what could be happening? I was able to book the other trains for my trip from Paris to other places in the next few days but that train from Barcelona to Paris with SNCF doesn´t let me make the reservation. 

Hi travellers! I am trying to book seats from Zagreb to Beograd and then to Beograd to Sofia in August but it is imposible. I have read that trains to and from Serbia are not running.Is it still the case?In the Interrail web they appear in the possible routes so I bought a pass. Do you have info?What is the alternative if not the train?Tank you!!!

The prices on the Eurail webpage for reservations range from $182USD to $450USD for some of our trips for 4 of us. I bought the Eurail to save money and this is astronomical and not was was advertised (10-25 euro!) Can someone tell me what the issue is?

Hi, I have just turned 70 and want to travel in Europe by rail. In recent years I have either driven from the North East of England or used planes. I am considering a month europass for me and my wife, I want to travel from N.E. England and use Eurostar and onward rail travel to Southern Italy. I like the idea of the hop on hop off flexibility. I need some advice on this plan and any possible pitfalls. I want to use fast long distance trains for some of the journeys. Any advice and guidance would be great. Thanks Brian

We live in Germany and want to go on an interrail trip in Norway. Therefore we take the train to Kiel, sleep there and take the ferry to Oslo. In Norway we want to use 5 days of our 7 days Ticket. Afterwards we want to Take the ferry from Oslo to Kiel and then use our interrail Ticket to Go Back Home.  Is it possible to use our homecountry-days that way? Because we do Not Transit a Border on the same day by train, but take the ferry on the next day. (We will buy the ferry Ticket seperately)
