Nightjet Zagreb from Germany

Hi!I am trying to book the Nightjet to Zagreb (from Germany, any city will do..) but all the options I had for possible dates on ÖBB are not available? (yes I do know ho to book..)Is there a connection problem or is everything booked? I saw one option a few days ago (via the interrail site) and it offered a booking with a paper ticket? Is it possible to book this paper ticket directly (guess paper is not öbb?) We are travelling from the Netherlands, is there another (logical) option than Germany?

No seat reservations avaiable through Eurail

Not able to get seat reservations through Eurail on any popular lines in June (London-Paris, vice versa, Paris-Caen, Paris-Munich, Amsterdam-London). Why did I buy a Eurail Pass? Pretty useless.

About train journeis where seat reservation is not available

Hi all, I was wondering how it works when I want to travel on a train for which I cannot book a seat though I am entailed to travel with. There is this EC from Bern to Domodossola which is covered by the Interrail pass but the Swiss railways do not allow for seat reservation. How does it work in such a case? Do I show up at the platform trying to board the train? What if the train is full? Is my trip guaranteed? Thanks to anybody who would be able to answer. Emanuele

General query about Eurail Global Pass usage (first time use) ?

I am coming to Europe in June-July with a family of 4 (including 2 kids (6 & 8 years)) and would mainly be visiting France (Paris only), Switzerland, Italy (Rome & Florence), Germany (Munich), Belgium (Brussels, Antwerp), and Denmark (Copenhagen).I am planning to get a Eurail Global Pass for 15 days for inter-country & sometimes intra-country travel (especially Switzerland). So far, I am not buying any other Travel Passes and may just purchase Paris Metro 5 days pass and individual transport passes in other countries as per requirement.I had a few questions, to which I am unable to find specific answers to:I know that when Eurail Planning App tells ‘Seat Reservations Required’, I will compulsorily have to purchase individual seats. What about when it tells ‘Seat Reservation Recommended’? Can I take a chance by not buying individual seats? What is the recommended / manageable time for changing trains on my route? The train app sometimes shows even 6 minutes. As there might b

Linking accounts and tickets

I bought the pass through another site.I'm currently traveling and would like to make a reservation for a train, but the app doesn't display the reservation button.That's why I want to book through the website instead of the app.However, web reservations require me to have a pass and be logged into my account.So I just created a new account.However, I don't know how to link the newly created account with the pass I purchased on another site and have already started using.How can I connect in this case? Also, how can I make a reservation for the train?  I'm sorry if it's hard to read because it was written mainly using a translation app.

multiple trip

Confused about the use of trips. I have a  2 month pass and have created a trip which I intend to share with my wife. However, I intend to make another shorter trip independently; the app has a + feature for multiple trips, but will not allow me to connect the new trip to my pass ( only option is connect to paper pass?). What is going on? Can I create and connect multiple trips in app or not?

Reservations and Place of issue on UK passports upon reservation purchase

Help for a newbie please :) I am trying to book reservations for our upcoming trip and have got to the 'Place of issue - city' box on the interrail reservation system. On my passport, this is listed as IPS, and my partners says HMPO. I understand this is standard on UK passports. Should we enter this despite it not being a city, or try and find out which office issued them?

Planning multiple trips on one Pass

Hi everyone, I’ve searched through the interrail website and forums, but am a little confused about how to make this work.It seems like when you activate a pass, you can only use it for a single trip? But you can make additions to that trip once it’s been activated??Here is my situation - I have a 2 month/15day pass, that I haven’t activated yet. I’m planning to travel around for a week in April (Spain and France), return home to London for a month, and then head back out around Germany/Hungary etc. to complete the rest of my pass. For planning purposes, I’ve been considering these as two seperate trips. I’m nearly done planning my route for the Spain/France trip, but hadn’t started thinking about the later one just yet. I was expecting to plan that once I returned from the first ‘leg’.Once I activate the pass for travelling in Spain, I’m concerned I won’t be able to then add the 2nd part of my trip later, even though the pass will still be valid and in-date. I don’t want to end up usi

Hallo, ich verstehe das Inbound und Outbound immernoch nicht. Ich habe noch 2 Tage guthaben und kann noch 1 outbound und ein inbound machen.

Adding travelers to my trip in the interrail.eu website

I recently bought 8 passes in 2 separate orders and I have 2 trips in my account in the interrail.eu website (that were created automatically). (I am NOT using the Rail Planner app) What I want is to merge those 2 trips into 1 so that I can have all 8 travelers in one trip.I tried to do that by adding travelers to one of the trips, but I always get the error “Your Pass cover number doesn't look right”. I have tried there the pass cover number I see on the back of my pass cover, which starts “I” followed by 8 digits. I also tried the order number that starts with “IN”. Both have failed with the same error.My question is: How can I add all the travelers to 1 trip in your website?Can it be that 1 traveler can only be in one trip? For solving this I tried deleting one of the trips but the website does not let me do that :( Can someone help me achieve what I need? Thank you in advance.

Unable to search schedule/add journey to app

Hi, I've been traveling in Europe for about 2 weeks now with a 3 Months Eurail global mobile pass, everything worked fine until last night. I was trying to search for a journey in the rail plannner, but after entering the stations the app keeps getting stuck loading loading the schedule. I am thus currently unable to add any trips or obtain the ticket QR-code. I've tried the following: (a) Using the app both online and offline, both with and without location services enabled(b) force stop the app and clear the cache( c) restart the device(d) Searching for the train journeys under “stations" (this wont even attempt to load anything).  All of this produces the same error. My next step would be to clear the app data and/or reinstall the app, but as far as I understand this will remove the pass from the phone entirely. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I would also have no problem adding my journeys manually, but I haven't found any way to do this without the schedule loading. I'v

Change travel day

We have global flexi passes. 4 days in 1 month. We will use 2 days to get to our destination and 1 day to get home. These are planned and saved in My Trip and added to My Pass (mobile) but not activated. We would like to use the remaining day for a trip out from our destination. We know the route of the journey but have not chosen the day. FAQ says Can I switch or cancel a travel day?You can cancel your travel day any time before the start of that day (00:00 CET). Go to My Pass, choose the travel day you want to cancel and tap ‘Cancel travel day’.But does not say how to change the travel day.

Train non disponible

Bonjour, J’ai commandé un pass interrail et je ne comprends pas pourquoi je ne peux pas déjà réserver mes billets de train. Je comptais partir début juillet mais les billets ne sont pas encore réservable. De plus je souhaite faire un trajet Paris-Prague en interail et on nous indique un message d’erreur pour l’un des trains que nous devrions prendre. Cela veut-il dire que ce train ne sera pas possible d’être réservé même plus tard ? Car j’ai mis le même trajet pour une date ou les billet sont déjà censé pouvoir être réservé, mais le même message apparait. Merci.

Will there be any train going to Cambridge from Heathrow airport during the strike?

Our family of four was so excited about our upcoming trip to UK next week. It is our first time to visit the country and friends here. However, planning this trip is far more difficult than what we have imagined.  We bought the global pass saved all the journeys to the app. Unfortunately, we learned that the strikes will affect our train schedule.We will arrive Heathrow terminal 3 on 20 July at 6pm and want to take a train to Cambridge directly.  We would like to knowhow long does it normally takes to get through the custom and security at Heathrow? Will there be any train from airport to Cambridge on the night of 20 July?We planned to go to Birmingham to Cambridge on 22 July. There is only a few trains on the National Rail available. Since we cannot book or reserved these trains via global pass. We are afraid that all the seats will be sold out .We have booked hotels in Cambridge and Birmingham and hope to follow our original plan as far as possible.Hope to hear your advice.

Paris to Geneva

I bought 4 days eurail pass and this is my first trip to Europe. When I am trying to reserve seat from Paris to Geneva, it says around £102 for 2 kids and 2 adults. But if I check other website then tickets are cheaper for same route and same train. What is the benefit of eurail pass if reservation takes more money than normal ticket.

First timer - help with exit from UK!

Hi,We bought the 7 day pass on a bit of a whim and are now thinking over logistics. Considering possible taking it down to a 4 day trip instead with us paying some tickets ourselves We are travelling with an 8 and 10 year old and coming from Glasgow. My initial idea was Glasgow - London - Paris on day one but it’s going to be quite a long day so I’m trying to think of alternatives but not sure I can or if I’m picking up the pass rules correctly. I’ve put in bold the days I’m questioning:Idea 1 - reducing down to 4 day pass:Day 1: Glasgow to London and stop over for a night Get the Eurostar (we would pay the Eurostar trip as it’s not much more than the seat reservations would be anyway). Day 2: Paris to Black Forest  Day 3: Black Forest to Paris Eurostar home to London where we would stay a night or so Day 4: London to GlasgowIdea 2 - keeping 7 day pass:Day 1: Glasgow to London and stop over for a night Day 2: Get the Eurostar to Paris Day 3: Paris to Black Forest  Day 4: A stop somew

what version of the app are you using ?

I am using 30.2.0 but have been advised that I should be on 30.3.0 to rectify my problem to get tickets. I cannot see a later version. We leave tomorrow and I am very worried  . Bw John

Nightjet NJ 457 reservation problem

I am trying to book a ticket to go from Berlin Hbf to Berclav on June 24, 2023 at 18:52 with the global interrail pass. It lets me activate the ticket but not reserve a seat. It tells me that there are no seats available, but that with every day. I have searched several different websites that also offer this train but it still doesn't work. The train is the one in the title. If anyone can help me or tell me how I can do it or alternatives (which I have not found either) it would be a great favor. Thanks

Paris to London seat reservations

Hi, I purchased the eurail 5 days in 1 month mobile pass. When I check Paris to London 3-Jun tickets. All tickets from 11am onward do not allow me to book through the pass as there is none available. However in rail planner app, I can assign that day as a day of travel and select a train. It creates a ticket. Does that mean its booked through rail planner and pay the reservation fees in the train?
