To ask all about our Passes, reservations & more

Hello, Is Italy’s trans-siberian railway included with the pass? I cannot find, say, Abruzzo on the rail planner app, although Sulmona is on there. Thanks!
Travelling from Salzburg to Ljubljana on a Friday in August. From what I understand we are ready to board with our passes and don’t need to reserve seats, but can if we wish to. Would you advise booking or do you think we will be ok without reservations? Would like to save money where possible, but equally am happy to pay if it’s worth it. Thank you :-)
I’ve just seen the advertisment for the 20% discount for Interrail passes. I went onto the site to purchase two 2nd class 7 day in month Senior passes. I get to a page which says:How would you like to receive your Passes? One can choose between mobile and paper versions, but the paper version is the one currently ticked. I tick “mobile app” and press “Proceed”, but it reverts to Paper. And unless I stick with the Paper version I can’t proceed..However it clearly says on the site: “Now available as a mobile Pass” Any suggestions as to what is going wrong, and what I should do? Thanks, Peter
Good day! I'm about halfway through a 2-month, 15-day stint on Interrail. Now attempting the UK, and the ACPrail site is giving me an error that is not user-friendly enough to help me correct the error. Trying to book from Harwich to London using https://www.acprail.com/seat-reservations/. I have confirmed that tickets are available on this train on the Greater Anglia there: and I can happily buy them at full price; however ACPrail is preventing me from getting a reservation only, on any train.Have been to many countries, and was able to book Eurostar, even the Stena Line, without a problem.Pre booking error: Reservation on this train is currently impossible or the fare selected is not available anymore.Please advise. Thanks in advance !
Hi there, does anybody knows about this? My pass and all trips disappear from app - already twice when on train. I am offline generally. mostly it works but when not, I risk to be fined while I payed 850€ for the pass.. I hate the app coz it is mega complicated and does not work… thxx!
I still have a few travel days left and have already returned home. So I no longer have entry and exit dates. Can I still use the remaining travel days abroad? Arie de B.
Hi if I buy a 5 day global pass, are two of those days/ journeys the ones from the UK to Europe (ie out and home)?Many thanks.
I know there are similar threads, but if someone could help give me peace of mind I would appreciate it. I got the reservation for the 457 Nightjet departing Prague at 22:03 and getting to Hungary at 8:29 on 08/19. I got the 4 person couchette reserved and want to clarify that I do not need anything else apart from activating my eurail pass on that travel day. In addition, would you advise booking more train reservations for routes im taking. My route is Prague->Budapest->Ljubljana->Venice->Florence->Cinque Terre->Naples->Amalfi Coast->Milan->Nice->Barcelona->Valencia->Madrid->Sevilla. It will span mainly throughout September and October using the 2 month 15 travel day pass. I’d like the flexibility, but if you think any of those may be highly advisable to reserve in advance please let me know. Thank you!
Hi. From Canada; I will be traveling in Europe on a Eurail pass. I have purchased a Eurail pass and I have downloaded the Eurail App. I was hoping to rely on occasional wifi access in Europe - I expect to have Wifi access every evening, at hotels. I do not want to pay for a mobile data package. Do I need mobile data access to board a train? Or can I simply book my ticket the day before (on my Eurail Mobile App) and then show it at the train station (without needing to use mobile data at the station)?David
Needing to travel between Switzerland and Amsterdam during the line closure. Usually it seems quite an easy route; either direct from basel or a change in frankfurt from bern. However, looking on the DB website the amount of transfers, which includes busses, seems like a nightmare. The other option is night train, which I do not want to pay for.What route could be recommended to avoid 2+ transfers this summer? I'm open to travelling slightly out of the way to avoid this but as long as the journey could be completely within a day I could try it. Ideally I do not want to uses buses or change train more than once.
Travelling Milan to Tirano to board Bernina - I understand buses run from Colico to Tirano (due to maintenance works).Does that mean I can use Eurail pass on the bus as well and I do not have to purchase tickets for the bus? Do buses allow luggage? We have 2 big suitcases which we have to carry all the way to Lucerne :)
Hi everyone,Trying to look for options to travel from Chur (around 6.30 PM) to Lucerne.We will be getting off the Bernina Express (from Tirano) at Chur, and have to reach Lucerne for 3 night stay.Is there a direct train option or they all go via Zurich?Since no reservation required, is it easy to travel with luggage and kids?Thanks :)
Hi, my partner and I are interrailing for the first time next week through Italy and Switzerland. We chose interrail rather than advance tickets because we wanted to have some flexibility with the timing of our train journeys (we’ve booked our accommodation but wanted to be able to spend a bit more time in one city and catch a later train if we wanted to). However, we’re now a bit confused with the seat reservation system, particularly in Italy! Is it still possible to turn up and book onto the next train or do should we make seat reservations now? Is there any way of finding out how many seats are left on a train??Our itinerary is:Pompei to FlorenceFlorence to BavenoBaveno to ZermattZermatt to Lausanne (for onward travel back to London later that day)
I have noticed a new type of remark in the interrail planner (both app and web) for trains crossing the border to France, saying “Allow extra time for bording”. And if I click it, it says “Allow 20 minutes for border and bag checks”. For security measures, boarding is possible until 5 minutes before departure, so arrive at the station early.”What has changed?I know that France has introduced passport-check during the Olympics, but this message comes for all scheduled trips (until December) in and out of France (in both directions).I am fine with a passport-check, but what do they mean by “bag check”? Is it X-ray machines like at the airport? I am bringing a backpack with camping equipment (for hiking in the Pyrenees), that may or may not look suspicious in an X-ray machine.I can’t find anything about any extra border check anywhere else than the interrail planner. If I look at SNCFs planner, is says that I can board the train up to 2 minutes before departure - just like normal.Maybe th
I want to travel from austria to germany today, but it isn't possible since 2 weeks to make a reservation.So my plan is to cross the border without any reservation. Do you think that will work?

Hello everyone! I’m travelling in Switzerland and Italy in early August this year, and I came across the Treno Gottardo (https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2022/may/04/rail-route-of-the-month-basel-to-locarno-the-slow-swiss-alps-classic) train which I want to take from Lucerne and Locarno. According to the Guardian article linked, it runs on a scenic old route even though its longer and takes more time, and is run by SBB.My question is this: Is travel on this train covered under the Eurail Global Pass? Also, does this have both 1st and 2nd class coaches? Any guidance on this would help me plan better! Thanks everyone :)
When I use my Eurail Pass to book Lugano-Lucerne how do I know which services are “Gotthard Express” ? Or do all the trains on this route have some scenic carriages and by simply paying reservation fee I automatically book one of those seats ?
Hello, I have to travel from Budapest to Sibiu/Romanian with my family at 14. Juli ,and I have the global pass but I can’t make the reservation to seats online ? In the office here in Danmark they can’t do it .can someone help me?
We are planning to travel from Zurich to Vienna on Sunday August 4 on RJX 165 using our Eurail pass but have been unable to book seat reservations by any method (eg OBB says not available, DB says all booked). Have been monitoring this for months and have never been able to make the seat reservations for this particular train.Eurail says seat reservation for this trip is only recommended, but OBB says travel only guaranteed with reservation on peak travel days (which presumably this will be), and as noted above DB says all seats already fully booked. Based on OBB live it does not appear the train is actually fully booked, and based on everything I've been reading online that also seems unlikely... but we're getting a bit nervous.Is it possible that we will still be able to make a reservation closer to the date of travel? If not, is there any chance we can get on that train without a reservation - or are we just out of luck?Also, looking at alternate methods to get there such as via Mun
Hi there. I live in poole so wanted to take the ferry to cherbourg on the 12th then next morning go to Agen which goes via paris. Problem is it says seat reservation N/A to paris.

Since the 16th of April, Arriva Denmark calls itself “GoCollective”, since Arriva Denmark was bought of “Mutares”, a German company which tries to return the company to recognized and undisputed profitable market leaders...The question now is: Is Interrail still valid at these trains, now operated by GoCollective? Please update your information concerning the valid danish transport operators as Arriva is still named.
