Berlin to Karkow

Hi everyone. My name is Deb and I’m very new to train travel. My husband Steve and I both in our late 50s are travelling from our home in Australia to a wedding in UK in the June and are planning to tour Europe after that . We have purchased Global 2 month passes. I am starting to get the hang of everything and got us as far as Berlin with reservations etc ! I am trying to book from Berlin to Krakow and have read previous posts regarding not being able to reserve seats with DB. My question regards the EC57 train on 23/6/2023 at 1052. Is it likely to get fully booked if I can’t reserve seats until we are in Europe and if it is what the best alternative way of doing the trip on that date. Would really appreciate advice… ( took a lot of persuasion to get my husband to travel this way so I want it to go as smoothly as possible haha)

I didn't quite understand one thing.

do I have to activate the pass already even if I want to leave in 2024 but I'm not sure the date? What if you activate it but can't start?

Booking trains in the app

I’m organising the trip that I’ll do in the mid in July with the interrail pass. I didn’t understand well how the booking works. Can I book all the tickets (also the one with reservation seats) in the interrail app? Or is it not a reliable? Because I’ve read some comments that said that it is better to make the reservation with other apps.

SNCB eurostar, missing reservation

fyi, I’ve contacted both eurail/interrail, and SNCB (b-europe.com) already. Eurail said it’s not their issue to deal with, as it was booked through b-europe, and I’m waiting for a response from b-europe.The issue:I booked a seat reservation on the eurostar, throug b-europe.com. The transaction went through, it appears on my card statement, yet I haven’t received the reservation. I’ve contacted customer service to try and track it down. It's been 7 days since the purchase.My main concern is that the other reservations are sold out for that day already. It’s the last day of my pass, and this was my train back home, so I’m not able to travel a different day instead. Hopefully b-europe can track down the issue. My question is, what are my options if they don’t?I already have travel insurance, and the purchase was on a credit card, so I can pursue this through my bank as well. However, currently I’m going to be kind of stranded with no way to get back. If I had to book a full-price eurostar

Hoe kan ik geactiveerde my Pass aan andere Trip koppelen

Ik heb een Trip gemaakt in de app en heb de link gedeeld met mijn reisgenoten, aangezien zij al pas geactiveerd hadden kunnen zij niet de MyPass koppelen aan deze reis, dus dat betekend dan dat ze dus zelf allemaal dezelfde reis gegevens moeten toevoegen.Er wordt aangegeven dat dit niet kan, maar is het niet mogelijk om de (tijdelijk) MyPass te deactiveren via de App en dan de hier aan “lege” Trip te verwijderen en juiste (gevulde) Trip weer aan MyPass te koppelen en dan weer te activeren?

Indbound and outbound, greek ferry pass

Hi, so my friend and I are traveling to the greek islands next week and have just received our 4-day paper-passes. We are trying to fill it out correctly, but we are confused by the line about inbound and outbound travels. As far as I have understood, those are the trips you take to and from your country of residence. But we will only be using our pass in Greece, and therefore wont be traveling in our home country, so are we just supposed to leave the space blank?

The app

Hello, I`m traveling with my son and got to passes in my app. Our first travel day was canceled because of train delays caused by strike and we hade to fly to our destination. Now I got one used travelday on my trip but on on my sons trip in the app. Thats because I activated my trip and travelday before I discovered that the we couldn't travel with it, but not my sons pass, he's pass is still not used. Can this give me problem when we are going home by train? Summed up: I've got one used travel day and he's got non? (I've got 3 days left and he's got his four.) Grateful for help/Malin

Confusion on starting location vs first destination - first time Eurail

Hey folks! It’s my first time purchasing a Eurail pass so I want to be sure I’m doing this correctly. I’ll be driving around with a friend in England and Brussels where my solo travel begins. From Brussels I want to use the pass to take the train to Amsterdam, and then several other places next (Brussels> Amsterdam> Berlin> Cologne> Luxembourg City> Paris). So my question is, when booking the Eurail pass do a select my first city as Amsterdam since it’s my first destination, or do I select Brussels as my starting location? I appreciate the help! I also read something about the inbound/outbound trips; can anyone elaborate? Lastly, since this is my first trip, if anyone has some broad pointers or insider tips to share, I totally welcome them!

first class reservation with second class pass

Hi everyone, I tried booking seat reservations for the tgv from Paris to Strasbourg on the day the tickets were released but the train I wanted was sold out straight away!. I called scnf and the lady said I can buy first class reservations, which I did as I was worried we'd get stuck otherwise. But now I'm worried we will have problems on the train as our passes are second class. She said this is no problem as the reservation is an upgrade but it would put my mind at ease if anyone could confirm this is okay?

I have been wanting to book the high speed Florence - Milan train in August but they do not seem to be running after the 6th. Does anyone know if there planned engineering works affecting this line? I have tried to find out but thought I would ask on here as I’ve not had much luck.

purchase of tickets not included in the pass

I purchased a senior 1st class global pass. When I planned my trip from Zurich Airport to Grindelwald, the trip from Zurich Airport to Interlaken Ost is covered, but the train from Interlaken Ost to Grindelwald is not included in the pass, which I can still add it to my trip. Can I pay and buy the ticket from Interlaken Ost to Grindelwald at the Frankfurt Flughafen station or should I buy it only after arriving at Interlaken Ost?

German Rail Pass

I am traveling to Germany from Jun 1 to Jun 8. Arriving in Berlin for 2 nights, then on to Dresden for 1 night, Munich for 2 nights and finally Frankfurt for 2 nights. During my stay I want to be able to get around the cities to visit various places. I was thinking I needed a 7-day consecutive pass but the eurail site said I only needed 4. Can someone help me understand what I need? In Switzerland I can just buy a Swiss Travel pass and its good for all modes of transportation (train, bus, boat).

Booking seat reservations from Australia

Hi My partner and I have bought rail passes through Eurail ; and are using it for our trip through Spain All of our trips are on fast trains and need to apparently book seat reservations ASAP ; however we live in Australia and cannot get to a Spanish train station to make the seat reservations How do we going about reserving seats for the trips ? We have the eurail planner app and we have both marked our trips out and and attached to our eurail passes on the app , but I assume that doesn’t mean that we have a guaranteed spot on the train Any help would be greatly appreciated Thankyou very much

Thank you!!!!

So have just returned home after 5 weeks in Europe with my daughter using Eurail Global passes. I just want to say THANK YOU for all the amazing help I received for my many questions! I really was stressing before we left as train travel is not a big thing in Australia and it all seemed so daunting. But all went super smoothly and it really was because I felt prepared with all the help I received here. Already planning another trip haha!
