Useless Pass for italy

Bought this eurail Italy pass and thought it can save you some money. However most of the trains are not included. Eventually cost me much more money. Poor coverage in Italy. Can’t refund too.  very bad experience! Really not worth it.

Thameslink

Hi there, I know Thameslink is included in the Interrail pass but I can’t find anyway to add their services to the pass via the Rail Planner app (going from Gatwick airport to Tottenham Hale). Is there any way to do this or will any inspector accept an Interrail ticket even if the journey hasn’t been added-I just want to avoid any potential trouble!

Benefits for the Ruthensteiner hostel in Vienna can't seem to be available?

Hi everyone, I am starting to plan my interrail trip and I saw that the pass offers some benefits for hostel reservations, such a 10% disocunt at the Ruthensteiner hostel in Vienna if the reservation is made through famoushostels.com. However, the Ruthensteiner hostel is not part of this website’s offers so I dont ‘understand how I am supposed to get this offer.Thanks in advance

Printing Tickets

Hi! I’m travelling to Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, Nice, Milan, Rome, Italy, Bern, and Frankfurt. I have 2 questions.  Do I really need to print out seat reservations or tickets for any of these cities? I leave tomorrow and plan to kind of book as I go, I find it so dumb to print things out when I have a mobile global pass  Going from Paris-Barcelona I need a seat reservation, but it says it’ll be mailed by post… but I’m staying in airbnbs etc and don’t know if I’ll get it in time. How do I work around this?? any help is greatly appreciated thanks

Night train and following train

Hello, I have a problem and I’m hoping you can help me. I'm living in Germany and Im on vacation in Italy. Yesterday I booked a connection back to Germany. The problem is, that I’m traveling with a night jet to Munich and from Munich I have to take another train. I’ll start my journey in Italy at 10pm and arriving Munich at 6am on the next morning, because of I’m traveling over night my outbound ticket is used when I arrive in Munich and I can’t travel with my interrail ticket again. The problem is that I have to take another train from Munich which isn’t include in my ticket anymore and the app says I have to buy me a ticket on my own. My question is, is there any other chance to take the following train from Munich without paying?

One month global pass validity

Is the monthly pass valid for a calendar month? So if we activate our one month pass to start travel tomorrow 5th Sept, is our last travel day 4th October - 30 days? But if travelling in October, we'd have 31 days? Is that how it works?

Global pass cost difference

Hello. My partner and I are traveling to Europe in a few weeks and we are wondering if the global pass is best purchased before arriving in Europe or if it is the same price buying it once we get there?

Reservation + inbound outbound

Hey everybody, my friend and I are looking forward to go to Italy from our home country!We’re thinking about getting a global pass but still have some troubles… If we’re going from Germany to Italy (Monday evening from Osnabrück to Munich and then the night train on Tuesday Munich to Rome) - so in total two days, do they count as an inbound? And for the night train we need to get a reservation from the Austrian site but there are no options if we’re trying at https://www.oebb.at - does this mean that the train is sold out? We didn’t get any clue from the website and everywhere is written that you cannot take a night train without a reservation?Hope someone can help us, thank you in advance!! (:

How to know if seat reservations are required

Hi there, setting off tomorrow. Just want to double check that for trains where no reservation is required, do you have to get on the exact train that you have added to the pass or any train on that route (in case of delays, missing a connection, etc.) Thanks!

Got a new phone and need to activate pass on it ASAP

I recently got a new phone for our upcoming trip to Italy. Same number just different phone. I arrive in Italy in 3 days (9/6) and need to be able to access my pass. I am able to log in and see the confirmation of the order but am not sure if this is good enough to travel with? It states it cannot add my pass to my mobile device via the app because it was previously on my old phone.

How can I see the reservations I've made through the interrail site?

I have made a number of reservations through the Interrail website. I have the email confirmations but I would like to see a summary of all the reservations I’ve made so far within the website and, ideally, in the app itself. Is that possible, or do I have print out every reservation? Seems very 20th century if that’s the case. 🙁 Thanks for your help. It’s great knowing the community is out there. 😀

What happens to seat reservations that are returned to sender?

What happens if my seat reservations have been returned to sender?  They were sent to my accomodation who weren’t available at the time of delivery (and didn’t go to collect as promised)  and subsequently have been returned to sender which is Eurail.  I’m really counting on these seat reservations.  Thanks in advance for your help.

Gatwick to St. Pancras Station Train

I am getting mixed messages online as to if we can travel Gatwick to St. Pancras with our Eurail pass.  I am travelling with my wife and two kids and really don't want to have to go Gatwick to Victoria and then try to take the tube and walk to St. Pancras.  But i’m also very disappointed if I have to pay almost 39 pounds for the 4 of us to travel direct to St. Pancras. ON the Eurail site they say Thameslink trains are included but on the App planner i can’t get it to show anything for Gatwick to St. Pancras. Any help or recent experience would be great!! Thanks, Jason

Starting from a different place than a country of residence

Hello! My country od residence is Poland, but I am currently in Germany (where I am not a legal resident) and I was hoping to start my trip from here. Is it possible to start a trip in a different country than the one that is my country of residence? And can I choose not to use outbound or inbound trips to my country of residence, cause I am not planning to go to Poland on my trip? Is it mandatory to use outbound and inbound trips or can I simply not visit my country?

Trips - sharing trips with other travellers & widgets

We’ll start using our 3-month global passes soon and I’ve set up a Trip with journeys - how do I share this with my partner’s phone? The dropdown only lists Edit / Duplicate / ShowInWidget. And where does this widget appear after creation? Nothing shows up on the home screen.

Booking train from Paris to Barcelona

I am trying to book a reservation for the TGV from Paris to Barcelona on the 15th (September). Now I’ve read about the issues with Spanish rail companies and having to book tickets locally, at the train station and I’ve been trying to perhaps book via SNFC or RENFE online, but how do i make sure I don’t end up paying the full price? Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm assuming these tickets are still covered by the Global Pass. Could anybody help me out with possibilities to still book my ticket in advance? I’ve seen several numbers I'm able to call but, again, I'm not sure how to get the ‘discount’ of the Global Pass. This is my first time traveling by train and I would appreciate the help tons, thanks!
