Get ready to travel

Question for you all. I am traveling from Copenhagen to Stockholm. Unfortunately the SJ is sold out so I have to change in Malmö. The change only gives me 18 minutes to get from one train to another. Is that enough time in the Malmö train station taking into account any border crossing logistics such as customs, ID checking, etc…

Bonjour,  Quelqu un voyage t il de Berlin à Varsovie prochainement, d ici le mois prochain ? Je n arrive pas à réserver de sièges sur aucun site.Merci

I’m wondering if there is any way to select specific seats using a Eurail pass on Trenitalia.  From everything I read online here, it’s not possible on Trenitalia’s website, Trenitalia Kiosks, Eurail, or even OBB.   My travel companion for an upcoming trip has never been to Europe before and I was really hoping I could select seats, rather than have them preassigned.  I’m wondering if we go to a Trenitalia agent at a station if they have flexibility of accommodating requests.   I’d prefer the one seat arrangements facing each other, but as long as we’re sitting together, that would be fine.  What I’m really hoping to prevent is being assigned in different cars or even in the same car not together.  Is there a way to see the assigned seats before finalizing a booking?  I’m fine with us sitting side-by-side, across from each other, window or aisle, etc.  Just don’t want us separated.   I wonder how others experiences have been in this regard, or if I’m just over thinking

Hey, I have a question, I want to book a train from Berlin to Dresden but this message appears : “Rates not availableOur search for fares produced no results. Places reserved for Pass holders are probably sold out. You will find other options at the bottom of our schedule.”I would like to know if it’s possible to get on this train with my interail pass and no reservation, or will I be turned away if I get on this train knowing it may be full? Thank you for your help !  

Hi there,I am trying to book my seats from Crete to Piraeus on September 10 but Hellenic Highway's and Blue Star's websites do not have the option to select the Greek Pass on the discount section when choosing that route (Heraklion-Piraeus). Even though, the Greek Pass guidance and Hellenic Highway's and Blue Star's websites say that Crete is included within the Greek Pass.Has someone else experienced this and learned how to resolve the issue and get the tickets within your Greek Pass allowance? Many thanks,Simon

Hi everyone,i’m going soon on a france Tour (France-Germany Pass) which says it has 7 travel days, what i’d like to know is: can i take as many trains as i want on a travel day or one journey for each of these 7 days within a month ? Second question: I know the pass can be linked to only ONE trip, but is it possible to change the journeys even after connecting that trip to the pass ? because i’m not sure if i want to go to Marseille or Lyon as the last trip)  i’m grateful for any help!

Hi, I won a France-Germany interrail pass. When I first login to the app I’ve been asked to choose a month for my trip but it also said that i could change it after all. I picked middle of august until middle of september but it appeared that i cannot find time to travel at this time. That’s why I want to change the date of my trip but now that it’s on I’m not allowed to. I’m afread I will loose my pass without being able to use  it. Does someone know if I can do something for it ? 

Ich habe überlegt mit dem Global Pass nach Italien zu fahren aber ich merke Interrail Fahrer werden in vielen Ländern einfach von den Zuggesellschaften diskriminiert! Warum kann ich keine Sitzplatzreservierung bei Trenitalia.com machen? Ich möchte meinen genauen Platz aussuchen können wie Normalbucher auch! Man kann nirgendwo den Interrail Pass angeben bei einer allgemeinen Buchung. Was ist hier los? 

I have paid for three  mobile global passes for seniors, one who is 80 years old. I am not travelling with the group, I sent details to the lead passenger and told him to download the app. The problem is that his Iphone 6 is running 12.5.7 and will no longer update so the app will not work and he cannot afford to buy a new phone. The first trip will be from Brussells to Jena in Germany on September 8th sometime in the day, I leave the UK tomorrow morning (Monday) but I cannot leave the group without a solution. Is there anyway of getting the a printed pass in time for thier trip and how do I do that? Please help

Hi,   I see that on the Eurail site they conceptually will let you submit a custom itinerary plan...and they will get back to you with a whole trip of hotels and cities planned.Are they good at this?  Is this a good service to use?Thanks in advance -paul

Hello. I live in Germany and would like to take the Nightjet from Innsbruck to Amsterdam. He obviously crosses Germany. But I only drive through and don't get out while I'm there. Is the pass still valid there?Greetings, Pascal.

I’ve read through a lot of the seat reservation posts and can’t find an answer, so here goesIs there a facility within the seat booking process to be able to specify a choice of seats during the booking process? Window seat, forward facing - those sort of optionsIt would be great if actual seats could be booked, but I expect that is a step too far I’ve just received my pass and tried booking seats on Eurostar and TGV Lyria. The seats are available as it takes me right through to payment. But there is no screen to provide an option to choose a type of seat 

My wife and I each have a 15 days in 2 months 2nd class global pass at discount costing  €27.03 per person per day. We are going to use 10 travel days for intercountry travels.For the remaining 5 travel days, what is the best use of each travel so that we get maximum return for the money we paid for each travel day?This might be a silly question. Can a travel day be used for things other than train travel or travel in general?We are considering days trips from London to Stonehenge, Amsterdam to Zaanse Schans and Florence to Pisa. My reseach suggests that use a travel for each of these in not good value. Is that right?

Hi,Booking regular ticket on sncf costs: 19€Booking a seat reservation on interrail costs: 22€ I feel this situation unfair and that SNCF is overcharging seat reservations and removed online booking to prevent people from using interrail in their country. Maybe someone can explain this situation please ? Thanks in advance,Nicolas.

Hey all, I need to travel from Netherlands to Norway with my dog (15kg). I find it difficult to find clear information about different train operators’ policies regarding pets, does anyone have experience on travelling this route with a dog? Thanks :)

With a stopover (of about 5 hours) in Hamburg.A few days later from Copenhagen (directly) to Berlin.A few days later from Berlin to Prague. With a stopover (of about 5 hours) in Dresden.A few days later from Prague (directly) to Amsterdam.I hope you get it! And thanks in advance for your answer 😁

Hi everyone, i just got back from my very first Interrail trip, and i would like to thank everyone here who tirelessly answer all queries. It feels daunting at first, but once i activated the pass on my first travel day everything became easy! (Well, i took the easy routes, London- Rotterdam- Amsterdam- Germany- Switzerland) I had the 7day Global Pass, use the 1st day as my outbound and used the last 4 (out 7) train hopping in Cities and towns of Switzerland instead of buying Swiss Pass. I will definitely Interrail again to explore the other parts of Europe!! Thank you once again for all your quick assistance!

Hi EveryoneTwo of us are looking to leave Mulhouse on the morning of 14 September to go down to Pescara in Italy - allowing for an overnight stop on the way.I had originally planned to work out a route across Switzerland closer to the time but with the various delays being mentioned in Switzerland, I’m wondering if it would be a good idea to make some seat reservations now.OBB isn’t currently letting me book reservations on the 11:03dep from Basel SBB on the Eurocity 151 to Milano.Any thoughts on why this might be?I did think about going via the Bernina Express route and staying in Tirano before continuing to Pescara but thought I’d take a quicker route this time. Happy to revert to this route though if need be. Any thoughts gratefully received!

Travaelling to Malta next year and want to know what's included in 10 day deal.  Is Naples the furthest south Eurail goes?

Dear All,Apologies first of all for the seemingly endless questions!If I decide to travel on a Friday from Lille to Nice via Paris where I intend to get a night train will this mean two journeys?  The first train I will take will be from Lille to Paris and the second train - a night one - from Paris to Nice.  The two journeys will not be in excess of 24 hours but will be over two days or two parts of days.I hope this makes sense and I am grateful for any replies received.Many thanks & kind regards, John

So I'm planning to travel to Luxembourg on the 21st of December for a couple of weeks. During these days I would like to go to Amsterdam, Brussels, and Paris, I cannot find any trains during December, where can I find the schedule for the trains, any tips? We're a family of 4, you think it would be cheaper to rent a car?
