Seat reservation EC Bern-Milan - 135eur for 3 passengers???

Dear Community, maybe someone knows… So we need to reserve seats for the EC from Bern to Milan, at least within Italy. When I enter Domodossola-Milano, it is 3 passengers x 12eur = total 36eur. Makes sense ;)When I enter Bern-Milan (since we don’t want to change seats in the middle of the trip) the price is 135eur!! Does that then include the ride itself - we don’t need a SBB ticket to Domodossola? We have half-fare-card and junior card for the child travelling, I believe the ride Bern-Domodossola isn’t worth 99eur. I tried booking just the reservation Bern-Milan via oebb and sbb, neither offers this... Thank you so much!!

Travelling via other countries

Hi, please can you help me? I want to go to Amsterdam using an Interrail Pass. The train travels via France and Belgium too. Would I need to purchase a global pass (for more than one country?)

Cancel ticket policy

Hi!I would like to travel to the UK in May and want to take the Eurostar from Rotterdam to London. I can only see that the seat reservation can be made with my Interrail ticket, but what if I buy the ticket and all the trains are fully booked (since its a busier period). Is it possible to cancel my Interrail ticket in that case?Cheers!

I did not receive my pass

I ordered two interrail passes - one for me, one for my child - but we do not receive any confirmation mail. According to the order overview and the “invoice” it is paid, but I am still waiting for the email with my pass. The chat bot is also not really helpful. We wanted to travel tomorrow and I have already booked seats. The only notification on the upper part of the order is: components.orderState. Does anybody knows what this means?

Trips without a reservation

I want to book a trip that has two changes of trains but none of them require seat reservations. All my other trips required a reservation so I would go in person to the train station and I would receive a physical ticket with a car and seat number. By adding a journey to my trip and creating the travel day, am I guaranteed to be allowed on that train? Will I get in trouble for possibly sitting in someone else’s seat or does nobody have assigned seats and they are all first come first serve seating? Is showing my ticket pass on my phone enough or do I still need to go to the ticket desk and receive a physical ticket for the train? If the train ends up being filled, am I guaranteed a spot on it since I’ve added it to my Eurail Global Pass via the RailPlanner app?

This is our first Global Pass and wanted to know if it’s best to book with both passes on one device for a trip where reservations are required?Can you then put the trip onto another device as backup or security?Thanks

Reservation in RailPlanner

I have tried to plan my trips, but RailPlanner tells always: Sorry, we don´t have train times for these dates yet -we´re waiting for a timetable update from the railways.Please change your search and try again. I have used last spring Railpalnner – no problems...

can’t get a reservation, can’t use my (first) travel day

Hi!I have bought a 4-day in a month global pass. I had activated it for today thinking I could take the connection Bonn-Stuttgart-Ulm-Pordenone, Ulm-Pordenone serviced by a NJ. I would depart in the evening and get there in the morning. So I activated the pass and then tried to reserve a seat but I couldn’t. Now any other connection is such that I need to use two travel days and I do not intend to do it because it undermines the whole rationale for why I bought the pass in the first place. I would like to get the pass deactivated and my travel day back or at the very least my travel day back. I tried to contact support via both the bot and the app, but I don’t even get a confirmation mail. What am I supposed to do?

Hello^^

Soo helloooo:) As you may asummed I’m new to this. I just started to appreciate life and with that my freedome to explore the world. But before I start and get to know all of you beautiful souls out there, can anyone tell me is there any age requirements? I’m a 26 year old student so I dont know is there like an age gap or something like that to be able to travel with interrail. Can i use any disscount as a student? There are so many sources particulary for this question so I’m a bit confused.  Excited to meet you all in your beautiful countries.  Love, Kate 😊

Eurail Pass in the UK

Going to UK for two weeks in June and then visiting other countries like France, Ireland, Belgium and Spain. I wanna know if in UK is it possible to travel for example: London - Cambridge - London or London - Liverpool - London using the Eurail. Like one day trip in the same country. It’s possible to do that with the Eurail Global Pass? I know that there is one BritRail Pass as well, but the trip will continue to other countries, so I don’t know what if it’s worth it.

Discount and Travel day

Friends, I have a flexible 4 day global pass from Eurail which is valid for a month. I’m planning to use this pass days for my major travel between country borders. During my trip, I’m visiting Bernese Oberland region, where I’m planning to use discounted tickets (Mt Pilatus & Schilthorn), which is 25% on eurail. If I use this discount, will the day be counted as travel day ?Also planning to go either of Lake Thun / Lake Brienz boating, which is free with Eurail. Will this be counted as a day. This is not a discount I believe.Can I use pass for multiple travels on a day which are completely not part of a single (connected) journey (wandering around). Is it possible to do so with eurail pass counting as 1 day ?Thank you in Advance.Bijoy

Confusion

Hello,I’m looking for help. I want to go interrailing with my daughter this summer and pay for both passes and all reservations. We don’t live together, and I was hoping she could use her pass to get to a meeting point. That looks complicated…. or is it?If I understand right, I could add a reservation to get to the meeting point for her and then she could ‘activate’ her pass on her phone. Thereafter I could add all reservations for subsequent travel for the two of us on my phone. Does that sound possible or is there a better solution?Thanks in advance

Train routes require seat reservation - never available for Norway, Sweden and Denmark

I have been attempting to plan train travel (March) in Norway, Denmark and Sweden. I have a EURAIL Global pass purchased. On train routes (Example: Copenhagen to Stockholm) seat reservations required - but they are never available. This is becoming increasingly frustrating to attempt to organize my trip and I am starting to think these passes are a massive waste of money. What are my options? Does anyone have a recommendation on how to proceed? Thank you

What pass do i buy?

Hey, I’m from the UK and me and my friend are hoping to go on a small interrail trip this summer. But I’m struggling on which pass to get, I’m travelling from my home in the UK to obviously start in London (not staying just to get the euro star) and we plan to go to amsterdam, krakow, Budapest and vienna then obviously back home. I understand krakow and Budapest are quite far so may need to add a stop in Berlin or something there. This is provisional but with the pass I am confused to wether me travelling to and from london counts as a travel day. And what pass would be best. We didn’t know whether the 4 or 5 day pass, we still aren’t sure if we will add Berlin but either way, we just need some guidance on what pass to get and more info about getting to and from london with the pass as we also have to make a reservation on that train to amsterdam.

TGV Zurich to Dijon bookings

Hi everyone,I’m trying to book a reservation (for 4 people) on the TGV from Zurich to Dijon on 1st August. I have the SNCF app but I can’t seem to add that I have an interrail pass. And when I search on the Eurail site and app it doesn’t let me book there. Am i missing something? Am I too early maybe? Thanks in advance!

EU Mobile Passes suggestions

Hey Guys! I did a great 2019 trip around Europe and used the paper EU rail pas. Had a great time and was helped so much by the community in the old Facebook group! So I’m excited to come back again for some more train travel! But because my trip this year is very last minute, I’m thinking of getting the mobile pass. How have people found it? Is it user friendly? What are your tips and tricks?

French industrial action - SNCF & Eurostar

Hi,We’ve got reservations on 20th February on Eurostar (London - Paris) and TGV (Paris - Hendaye). Seeing the latest update to the news on this website it appears 20th will be the last day of French industrial action. Naturally I’m worried that our trains might be cancelled, since if they are our whole itinerary is totally stuffed as we have onward bookings to Lisbon (mercifully just after the Portugal strike action is due to end). Looking at the Eurostar and SNCF sites, I haven’t been able to work out whether there’s any way of knowing in advance whether our services will be affected: couldn’t see anything on the SNCF site, while Eurostar is only showing information for the next day. Can anyone shed any light?Thanks

How to make seat reservation from Geneve (Cornavin) to Zermatt?

Hello everyone, I wanted to book seat reservation for Geneva (Cornavin) to Zermatt. I tried on ÖBB with the one way ticket option, it shows as the following:Does that mean I don't need to book seat reservation for these trains?Would it likely be no seat available if I don't book reservation?We have our scenic trains and accommodations in Zermatt and St. Morris all booked in and paid, really don't want to not be able to get there from Geneva the day before due to the lack of seat availability.Thanks a lot in advance :)

Reservation for Glacier Express open 93 days before the departure date?

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows the exact time when the seat reservation for Glacier Express opens 93 days in advance. I thought it would be open by midnight 93 days before the departure date, but it already passed midnight and I kept refreshing the booking page, it still says “Travel date too far in the future. You can only book 93 days in advance.” The latest date available is May 18 so far, however, I need to book for May 19. The first class seats of the earlier train seem to be very popular and the good seats are sold out pretty fast as soon as the booking opens. I can't really sit in front of the laptop and keep refreshing the booking page for hours until it opens. So any chance, anyone here knows the exact open time? Thank you so much :)
