Get ready to travel

I have an interrail pass and am trying to use the travel.b-Europe site to book our seat reservations.  But when I enter our six digit pass number in the “pass cover number” section I just keep getting an error message that the pass cover number is not valid.  I tried calling their help number but it doesn’t work.  Any idea what I can do?

I am making seat reservations with my Eurail pass for a trip from Paris to Amsterdam on the Eurostar Speed Train. I went onto raileurope.com and selected date and time and it shows the trains available at a charge of EU32 each. On Eurostar’s webpage, they say the only way for Eurail Global Pass holders to reserve seats on their train is through Interrail at EU34My question is, why does Eurostar say that I am ONLY able to book a reservation through Interrail?Clear chatHi, I would like to find out how I reserve a seat if I have a Eurail Global Pass From Paris to AmsterdamTo reserve a seat with your Eurail Global Pass for travel from Paris to Amsterdam, follow these steps:You need to book your seat in advance and pay a seat reservation fee.

Dear CommunityI need some assistance. I have a 3-month Global Pass, and I’ve attempted to get seat reservations on a train from Copenhagen to Hamburg on March 3 at 10:22. I’ve tried DSB, DB, B-Europe and Eurail. Unfortunately, all sites either do not give me the option to choose seats or don’t work at all - see the pics attached below.Is anybody able to assist? I’ve used the information at The Man in Seat as my guidance for this.Many thanks in anticipation.SteveAdelaide, Australia.

Hello there, we are so excited to be traveling around Europe for a wedding in Spain!We are going to Paris, Nice, Monaco and Sevilla. On April 9th at 6:25 we will be traveling from Nice to Sevilla. While booking, I am only challenged with our train from Marseilles St Charles to Narbonne. I am receiving this message: “No price results were found. Pass holder reservations may be sold out for this connection, but there are other ways to check for available seats—more info below our timetable.” I have also checked the raileurope website and it’s not showing the same time as eurail that aligns with our other train times, I do not know if there could be an hour time difference so that may help. Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated, I have also contacted eurail directly for assistance. I attempted to attach images multiple times and it would not let me. 

Hello everyone,I bought a 7 days pass to travel from France to UK in february. I’ve used my outbound to leave from Avignon to London, having a stop in Paris, on the 16/02. My question is about the inbound: I want to leave from London to Paris on the 28/02, stay for one night and then, on the 01/03 travel from Paris to Avignon. I’ve bought the Eurostar London-Paris ticket and used it as my inbound. I’ve bought my ticket from Paris to Avignon in a station, 20e, but can’t add it on my pass because I already use my outbound and inbound, and also because it’s the 01/03 and not the 28/02. Do you have any advice for me ? Or is my only solution to buy a regular train ticket (Paris-Avignon) on the SNCF website ? Cause if I do this, I would have lost the 20e booking. Thanks a lot and happy new year ! 

Hi all!Sorry if this question has been asked before, I can't manage to find it.  I haven't bought my ticket yet, as I'm trying to figure out what is the smartest in terms of money. This is my situation: I live in France, and I want to travel around in the Netherlands. That would mean I'd buy a Benelux Pass.Getting to the Netherlands requires me to travel with the Eurostar. From Paris to Rotterdam. I have a few questions about this: 1. I think I've read somewhere that for this Eurostar ticket (Paris-Rotterdam) my interrail pass would work, as I think it's allowed to take 1 train in your country (france, paris) to get to your country of destination. Is that correct? Or would my pass only be valid from Brussels - Rotterdam? Because I read that too somewhere, so i'm a bit confused.I know that you have to reserve a seat on this Eurostar train. I just can't seem to find if there will be an additional

I am struggling to reserve seats for travel from Paris to Reims on 2 July. The train appears in the timetable, but I am unable to make a reservation. Can anyone advise me on how to reserve seats, please? Would it be possible to reserve seats via my local ticket office (ScotRail)?

I want to go from Paris to Stuttgart with TGV on the 9th of May and cannot make an obligatory seat reservation neither with the connection from interrail to SNCF North directly on the SNCF homepage .how to do it?

We are wanting to use the global rail pass to travel from Hamburg to Copenhagen in April. However, the app won’t show us any routes on the day we need to travel (other than routes that take 22+ hours). Any advice?

Heee I want to book a couple of trains, but for some it says there are no tickets available and some might already be sold out. I checked another website and they’re not sold out, so why isn’t this site showing? I don’t want to buy tickets on other sites if I’ve already bought this pass… 

Bonjour comment on sait le prix net pour un trajet lorsque l’on a pas encore acheté le pass, je souhaite prendre l’eurostar mais c’est marqué à partir de 30€.Comment on sait le vrai prix ?

Hi there, My family and I are due to travel on Easter Sunday into Milan. We have an Interrail PassThe seat reservation site has said that seat reservations are not required (open seating) on this journey. However, I assume this day will be a busy travel day. Is it best to trust that there will be pass seats available and just turn up in the day? Or is it best to try and book travel with the train operator directly to guarantee seats? Thanks for your advice!

Hi, me and my girlfriend would like to make the trip from Oslo to Bodo in July 2026.We were lookin at the option of getting the night train from Oslo to Trondheim and then the daily train from Trondheim to Bodo.Only problem is the connection is only 50 minutes and there is only one Trondheim-Bodo train per day.Would you reckon the connection is safe enough? Or do we have a serious risk of being stranded in Trondheim for 24 hours?On one hand these seem to be 2 trains kinda made for each other and I would therefore imagine they may wait one another. On the other hand the refund policy sets a 60 minutes timeframe for the delay, for these 2 lines only (all the rest is 30 minutes), which they say you have to consider when planning your trip.Thank you in advance for any help Have a good travelling year!

Some info for people traveling on Rhatische Bahn between Chur - St Moritz - Tirano.Hi, this is just to let you know that I observed new? restrictions on the rhatische bahn, which i haven’t experienced earlier.This morning I was planning to take the RE train from Tirano to Chur, which i’ve done many time. And i didn’t have a reservations, because it’s not compulsory and I relied on the 1st Class Pass.But this time, a queueing system was in operation where you first have to get boarding cards for the train. Waiting time: about 2 trains, (2 hours). (Actually I think the EU passenger rights would apply here)So, please note that you can’t rely on actually taking the train you had in mind, and making your connections, when traveling on RE 9 or R9 of ratische bahn from one of the terminus stations. The new queuing system could be in operation….In the end I walked to the next station, and took the next train from there… (Here I am talking abou

I want to travel from Brussels MIdi to Amsterdam Centraal in March.  When I enter my Global Pass information it says the trains are free.   This means that I am blocked from making a reservation. I would like to confirm my seats.  How do I do this?Also, how long should i typically need to transfer trains in the same station? 

Hi! i wanna go from Utrecht to Kopenhagen on the 4th of January. But im not sure what to do with my reservation on the ICE from hamburg to KPH, so any help would be nice:)) there are two options:Option 1 is at 14:47, interrail says a reservation is not needed, but DB says the train is fully booked (so i cant make a reservation anyway), can I still board the train? and just sit somewhere and hope for the best? Via the interrail site, i can however still make the reservation, so that would also be an option? (although it feels weird that I can make a seat reservation via interrail but not Db’s?) The second option is the ICE at 16:49. Interrail says I need a seat reservation for that one, and DB says that I can still book the seat via their website. My preference would be option 1 bc my partner is taking that train, but he already has a seat reserved. I guess I can always go for option 2 but was wondering what my prospects are at option1 . ANy h

I have an interrail pass and I'm travelling with a friend who has a Eurorail pass, how can we ensure we reserve train seats together on our journeys?

I have the Eurail pass for my family of 4 and I had uploaded all passes to the app with start date later this summer. Then I went to wesbite to book our seats for a train leaving on June 1st. However, all the times I selected won’t highlight “add to cart.’ Does that mean I’m trying to book too far in advance, but the schedule table is too far out? OR is it because there’s an asterisk saying there are limited seats? I have 1st class passes, is it not feasible to book for all four of us at once? TIA!

Hey,would be cool to make a collection of routes/companies where you wouldn’t expect that Interrail is valid.I am starting with:Citybahn Chemnitz: on the trams with C before the digits you can use your Interrail also on the innercity tram. ATTENTION: it is not on the tramlines valid, that use exactly the same route which are operated by CVAG. Trambahia (Cadiz): it is operated by RENFE so you can use your Interrail pass. But you should get a ticket ahead from the ticket office in Cadiz. If you are boarding at a non-manned station I don’t know how it works.Looking forward to more interesting opportunities ;-)

Where i Rail Planner do you delete a journey?

Hi Interrail,This is just to let you know that scanning the interrail mobile doesn’t like seem be working on Trenitalia trains in Sicilia. Has been like this for the last couple of days, for me at least…Unfortunately, every year I use the mobile pass, it’s necessary to explain train staff that the app doesn’t work properly. But this time, it has been working fine outside of Sicilia luckily. 

On my upcoming trip this May, I am planning to take the train from Copenhagen to Frankfurt. My wife and I have the 1st class Global pass and we understand that we don’t need to make a reservation for this trip. However, we would like to reserve and pick our seats if possible, but it seems only the Hamburg to Frankfurt leg allows us to pick the exact seats, while the Copenhagen to Hamburg leg has automatically assigned seats even if we pay for reservation. I’ve checked this both on the DSB and DB website and it is the same for both. My question is whether the Copenhagen to Hamburg leg allows for picking exact seats closer to the date (say 2 months in advance?), or will it always be automatically assigned? If we can’t pick seats for the first leg regardless, would it make more sense to just make the whole reservation now so that I have more choices of seats for the Hamburg to Frankfurt leg? I’ve also heard you might be able to pick seats on the cd.cz website but you need to put in the

I have an unactivated pass whose last possible activation date was in November. I bought it in December 2024 under refund policy version 7, which provides for a 6 month period after last possible activation date to request a refund. I had purchased the Refund protection option which allows for a total refund except the cost of the option. Yet when I go to the respective order’s details page, the “Return your pass” button is not there, unlike for more recent passes that I bought on 17 December this year. How to request the refund?
