How many interrail days from Bucharest to Istanbul in May?

I think that the trip from Bucharest to Istanbul in May should count as one interrail day as there is a through sleeper from Dimitrovgrad to Halkali. My problem is that the Interrail app is coming up as two separate journeys on two separate days:Dimitrovdrad - Kapikule 22.50-00.45 on SaturdayKapikule - Halkali 2.30-6.34 on SundayHow do I avoid using two days of my 5 day pass?Thanks

Validity of the Pass

When I buy the 4 days in one month ticket, is it activated since the date of the purchase or does it start with the first day of travel?

"Activate this pass by" - exact date?

Hey there,might be a stupid question, but it really matters to me.I have a 2 month global pass and in the Railplanner-App it says “Activate this pass by 19th April”. Just to make sure: I can activate it ON the 19th april, right? I dont have to do it UNTIL 19th April?I am a bit nervous about my trip, so I just wanted to make sure not to be 1 Day too late :DThank you very much.P.

Planning a trip from Berlin to Bath (UK)

Hi everyone,I want to travel from Berlin to Bath(in the UK).I know that if I were to book over Deutsche Bahn this trip takes about 10 hours, especially because part of the trip is to go directly from Berlin to Cologne with an ICE (fast train).With the Rail planner it's ca. 15 to 18 hours, because it only proposes slow trains for basically the same trajectory. Is there a way to put together a route of my choice with the specific trains of my choice and still just only use one travel day of my pass, if yes, how would I do that? I'd still have to take 3 different trains with the quicker connection. But I don't know how to book this as one connection.I have the Interrail Global pass - flexi pass 4 days within one month.I'd be super thankful for any advice!!

Looking to book from Stuttgart to Interlaken and then Interlaken to Paris and Paris to London UK.Trying to book on Rome 2 Rio but it doesn’t give me an option to use my eurail pass on the website. Any suggestions on other sites to use to book my tickets with my eurail pass?(I have not yet bought eurail pass because I’m not sure how it works when booking tickets)

Studying abroad in Europe (Switzerland): Eurail or Interrrail

I’m a student from outside Europe studying abroad (on exchange) in Switzerland for 4 months. I just bought a Global Pass for a trip to Germany but noticed belatedly that I had bought the Interrail pass instead of the Eurail one, probably because I indicated Switzerland as my country of residence. I have not yet received my residence card, but I do have proof of registration at the Resident’s Office here. Seeing as I will likely have to activate my pass on 6/7 Apr (in a few days), I am a bit anxious and would like to seek reassurance that I don’t have to exchange my Interrail pass for an Eurail one. In short, can I use the Interrail pass I bought despite not having a European passport? I really don’t want to get fined.

Can't book a specific seat reservation?

I am trying to make seat reservations for trains from Paris to Lucerne on 7th May 2023. One leg is Paris Est to Strasbourg (France) on ICE9571 leaving Paris Est at 6:55 am. Even though it shows up in the search with reservation cost, when I go forward and fill in the passenger details, it fails with “‘One of the legs of your journey is not available anymore” error. I am not able to confirm and pay for the reservation. I have searched for topics in the community (thanks for that, there are a lot of good info available) and when I tried to book directly on the train company website but there also I couldn’t go forward. I am attaching a few screenshots below.1/ What is the best way to move forward? I also have a couple of related question.2/ When I planed the trip on eurail.com (not logged in) it showed USD12.80 as the 2nd class seat reservation fee. But, after logging in, for the same train it shows USD24.00 as the fee. In both the searches I have “Included in Pass” filter selected. Som

Train from Florence to Rome airport

Hi, I am coming to Italy on 18-April. Have to travel from Florence to Fiumicino airport. My flight is at 10pm. I have time from 10am in the morning at Florence. I thought of exploring Vatican city on the way. I want to drop my luggage in a station (may be Roma termini) before I can explore the city and collect it later while going to airport. What is the cheap and best option to travel and explore the city?

I cannot book Copenhagen to Hamburg or Hanover to Copenhagen, why???

Help!! I have 2 first class passes.I cannot book reservations for two legs of my journey Copenhagen to Hamburg on April 23, depart at 11:01, a direct train and Hanover to Copenhagen on May 7. depart 11:20am, with connection in Hamburg. I can put the reservations in my cart but when I get to the step of paying, it tells me “Error - One of the legs of your journey is not available anymore. Please try searching for another connection.”When I go back to make a reservation, it again says there is availability and this nightmare starts again.
