Hi. We are seniors travelling with a 1st class Global Pass. Our preferred train is the 12:32pm departure on 29 June. The EURAIL site says seat reservations are recommended but Rail Europe says not required. Do we risk it and not book a seat? Thank you. 

I added to my pass for the train from London Marylebone Station to Stratford Upon Avon on July 12 leaving at 8:07am. There is a change of trains at Warwick. I tried several sites including Eurail ( which says seat reservations are optional), then went to GWR which says they don't have seats, and it looks like almost the same train but change at Leamington Spa ( which Eurail doesn't have). Went to Chiltern Rail which says they don't make seat reservations. Very confused. Does anyone know anything about this? Suggestions please. 

By mistake I created a trip to Varnanow that I’ve realised and try to do it on the correct trip it won’t allow me as it says I am already travelling that dayi I can’t find where to removegenera I’ve botched up my phone and need some help.we’re travelling and this is all very stressful 

We’re going to be in Switzerland this summer based in Lausanne for 3-4 days. Does anyone have any advice on the best way to travel around? Also has anyone any experience of Glacier 3000 and the best way to get there?Thank you in advance!

How can I still get on the train? It says that the seat reservation is free. Do I have to reserve the seat on the spot? How much does a normal ticket to Istanbul cost? 

hello! i’m travelling around europe this year and i’m unsure of if i should invest in a eurail global pass or if it’s better to purchase the local train passes to the places i’m visiting:France (Visiting Paris, Versailles, Disneyland, Lourdes over 5 days) Switzerland (Visiting Zurich and Interlaken over 3 days) Austria (Visiting Vienna for 2 days) Italy (Visiting Rome,Florence, Milan over 8 days) Spain (Visiting Barcelona over 4 days)which places metro/local transport system are covered by the eurail pass? and if opting for the eurail pass is a better option, which kind of pass should i get?  your help is much appreciated!

Hi, I plan to travel by the Bernina Express from Tirano (Italy) to St Moritz (Switzerland). I won’t use the Inerrail Pass in Italy. All travel from Tirano onwards will be within Switzerland and I will not return to Italy. Does the one-country Interrail Pass (Switzerland) cover the Bernina Express journey from Tirano to St Moritz? Or do I need to buy the Global Interrail pass? Thanks

I didn’t see the answer to this anywhere. I would like to purchase my passes now digitally, have them sent to my email, and then load them to my app at a later date (2-3 weeks later). Is this allowed or am I required to add them to my app as soon as they arrive in my email?   

Hello,I was wondering how to pay when hopping on a local bus at Grindelwald. Switzweland;  are credit cards now accepted, or do we just pay in cash?.  Also, are there day, local bus passes available for sale in the Grindelwald area, or are bus trips paid for individually?  Thank youbodetteplant 

Hello,I am trying to find out if my global eurail pass is valid on the cogwheel trains from Interlaken to Lauterbrunnen in Switzerland.  Thank youbodetteplant

Hi. It still doesn’t appear to be possible to book seat reservations on the Narvik to Stockholm service. Have spoken to info office at Oslo and Bergen and they still have no clue when bookings will be possible. Does anyone have any further info they can provide. Bit worried there will be a stampede for bookings when available. We are hoping to travel from Narvik to Umea on Sunday 6th July. Any update would be much appreciated . Thanks 

HelloLike many people, I'm trying to book the Stockholm -> Narvik in August. The train can be booked on the VY website but without the interrail option :( I'm trying to call them but despite long waits I can't get through to anyone... Has anyone managed? Do you know if the internet booking system will work soon? I was wondering if I should go through a travel agency to get help?Thank you for your helpKarine

hello all  We are flying into FCO from Toronto in September and supposed to land at 1215hrs. We plan to travel onward to Florence the same day. We have Eurail Global Pass, 1st class.I see there is 1 train from FCO to Florence Santa Marai Novella leaving at 1353hrs. Not sure that we will be able to make that train. flight delay, customs, baggage. So we can take the Leonardo Express to Rome Termini. And then from Rome Termini to Florence. if I book FCO to Florence, there is only 15-minute change time. That makes me nervous, so I would like to book separately trains from FCO to Rome and then Rome to Florence. Never booked 2 separate trains on 1 day, so I am looking for assistance. i know that it should still be considered 1 travel day.

Should I take a 4 or 5 days global pass ?Thanks for your answers.

Hello! I would like to buy tickets for the direct train from Florence to Vienna at night, but the page tells me ticket not available for the date I must travel, which is September 15. What other direct travel options or with few combinations will there be that are at night? Does anyone else have this problem? I would be very grateful if anyone could give me some guidance.

Hello. I want to go from Salzburg to Bled jezero on 8 juli. I have a transfer in Villach but it seems that I have to take a bus but I am not sure because it says train next to it and I thought you can only take the train with the global pass.Does anyone know what is meant here?

Holaa, soy español y tengo 18 años, y tengo pensado hacer el interrail por Europa el verano del año que viene. Estoy en un grupo con más españoles que van a hacer el interrail, si no tienes grupo para hacerlo o quieres entrar en el grupo, pásame tu insta y te añado. También pueden unirse gente de otros países 

I plan to travel by rail this summer through Germany and Switzerland with my family. Originally, I liked the Eurail Global pass because i thought I could be flexible on which train to take as each day presented itself rather than purchase specific routes ahead of time. However now I am learning that a seat reservation should be purchased because of possible crowded conditions with tourists and such. I also learned that you must purchase seat reservations 24 hours prior. If this is correct, then I am back to specific routes and times with no flexibility. What advantage is a Eurail Global pass if you have to buy seat reservations the day prior?  It seems like I should just buy specific tickets which is a bit cheaper. What am I missing…thanks.

Hello,I am trying to book a train for Italy Naples to Pompei in July and it says I need a seat reservation. There is no button to press to make the seat reservation. I can’t find out what company/train/website I need to find to make the seat reservation. I have attached an image of the train I would like to book at the beginning of July. I have tried through the app and through the website. I’m so clueless, I really do not understand how this is supposed to seem easy. 

Hi, I have just been entering my first travel day on interail planner and worried as my ticket to get from London St Pancras to Brussels midi is 9.01 am Sat 20th July. Arriving 12.05pm. I’m hoping to catch the 12.25 train to Koln. This arrives 14.15. Then 14.53 to Munchen, then 20.50 to Salzburg, arriving 22.42.When I put it into the planner it tells me that I get into Brussels at 12.13 ( not 12.05). If I don’t have enough time to get 12.25, then I looked at 1.25 from Koln to Munchen, but it says on site I need to reserve this train at 29 euros. The next train is 15.46, gets to Munchen 21.13, I would then have to get 21.43 to Salzburg getting in at 23.37. Sorry it’s so long, but my questions are, is the time on my ticket correct to get into Brussels on Eurostar at 12.05? Or is 12.13 as on interail site correct? Would I have enough time to get 12.25 train to Koln?If not, should I reserve the 1.25 train from Brussels to Koln at 29 euros? 3 of us travelling! Lastly, if all goes really wro
