Amsterdam to London in the summer

Hi, we are a family of four (2 adults, and 2 eleven year old kids). We have Eurail 2nd class passes. We are staying in Hillegom, Netherlands and then want to go to London on August 14th. I know Rotterdam is on the route so I have looked at Hillegom to Rotterdam and then Rotterdam to London. I have also looked at Amsterdam as a departing station as well. I see that Eurostar stops doing direct Amsterdam-London routes in mid-June. Is this typical? It looks like everyting goes through Brussels with a 1 hr 15 min to 2 hr 15 min changeover. Given that we already have to change trains twice to go from Hillegom to Rotterdam, I was trying to avoid the number of train changeovers (and cost of 2 separate reservations). Any suggestions? I’m surprised that they would stop offering direct routes in the summer when more people travel. Thank you.

seat reservations

The exact same seat reservation is €6 on OBB website and $60 on EuroRail. How is this legal and possible? Seems like they are ripping off foreigners. How can I file a complaint with local government and train agencies ?

Do I book hostels & flight home before going?

iI’m planning an interrailing trip for summer (July & August) 2024. I was just wondering whether I should book all my hostels before going or just wait and see or will this be expensive/booked up? What if I decide to leave a place a day earlier than planned and then that messes all the hostel reservations up or is this not possible? And should I just book my flight home whilst I’m there in case I add places onto the end or will it be really expensive?

Seat Reservations

Hi, Myself and my friend are interailling for the first time next week. We have been able to book hostels, and some seat reservations but it becomes increasingly difficult when leaving Berlin. We have been given the option of paper ticket but they won't arrive in time to us or the hostel. It says able to get on the train but worried what this means without a seat reservation. When looking further ahead leaving prague it says unable to board train without seat reservation but there is no available for days which we don't understand how this can be possible. Please can someone advise us on what to do in this situation has I say we have booked accommodation already and have been saving for this for years.

How to check reservations for night train are available before I buy a Eurail pass?

We are a family of 7. We only plan to travel on 2-3 day trips from Paris (Chantilly one day, Amiens another), and then the over night train on July 10th from Paris to Nice. Tickets are 160 Euro per person for that over night train so I planned to buy a Eurail pass for all of us for the overnight train at least. Not sure if we need a 3 day pass or just a one day pass for the night train, as the other trips are quite short. But I read that seat reservations for the night trains are limited for Eurail pass holders - How can I work out if the overnight train has space for us before I buy the Eurail pass? I don’t want to buy a pass then find I can’t book the seats for the trip I have planned! Thanks for your help

Are International Ferry Trips Free or Reduced with the 6 Day Greek Pass?

I thought that there were 2 international ferry crossings included in the 6 day pass. One in and one out and that they were free. But when I try to book there is no option to pick the 6 Day Greek Ferry pass just the Interrail global pass. Can anyone let me know whether that are free or just discounted and how to book if there is no option. Many thanks

Dog

Hi 😊 We want to travel to Argelés-sur-Mer and I wanted to ask the chat-gpt but it is not able to answer. We would like to know, how it is with interrail pass AND to take a little dog with us. Does the dog need a ticket? It is 7 kg and can fly with us in the aeroplane as “luggage”, how is it in the TGV and also in “normal” train? Thank you!

Nightjet discount

Hi all! I am trying to book on the Nightjet from Paris to Salzburg at the beginning of August and have added the Interrail pass as a discount card for each of the passengers. However, it doesn’t seem to offer any discount at all - it’s exactly the same price as without the pass. Is this right? Should I be doing something differently? Thank you!
