Paris-Warsaw/Berlin train sold out - options?

Paris-Warsaw on August 5 is the last stop on my journey, but all of the routes have a problem within them. Most routes from Paris on the morning of August 5 have sold out, which is a problem, since I have a bus from Warsaw already booked. I would be most grateful for at least a magical train suggestion from Paris to Berlin. Thank you in advance!

Trying to Connect Trips for Family--Only Getting the Option to Choose Paper Pass from the App

Hello--I am struggling with adding a trip to the mobile app pass. We are a family of 5. I have activated the travel day and created unique trips under My Trips….but I receive only the option to connect to a paper pass when I try to add to My Pass. I appreciate any help. I have reservations booked for these trips, as well.

What is travelling like using Lux buses in Estonia/Latvia/Lithuania?

Hi,I have a global pass and was thinking of heading up to Finland and then heading to Estonia/Latvia/Lithuania but saw that Eurail is disrupted in this region, although there are buses available.Was wondering if anyone had travelled on the buses and what it was like.Or if anyone has an opinion on best way to move around that region at the moment.Thanks

Missing changes, outbound journeys and Glacier Express

1. We have planned our route via interrail planner, how should we confirm and get tickets for the journey? 2. What is happening in the situation, when one train is late and we won't manage to change our train on time? Should we take another train withe the same ticket we have or should we book another train ticket?3. And how should we count the outbound journey day? We leave on 26th of August at 3 a.m from Poland and we change the trains in Germany and we arrive to our destination point in Slovenia the same day at about 8 pm. Should it be counted as the outbound journey or the change of trains starts the first day of the journey?4. And the final question, We want to book the Glacier express in Switzerland, we have to buy ticket via Glacier express website, and we will choose the reduction for interrail. So is it counted as the travel day and should we put this journey to the planner?

Reservation for regional train Budapest - Vienna; app says reservation compulsory

Hello. I am planning to travel from Budapest-Keleti to Wien Meidling with the regional train RJ 66. As far as I understood, regional trains do not need reservation; you simply have to hop on. However, the app says that reservation is compulsory. Has anyone used this conenction and could tell me if they required a seat reservation?Thanks a lot!

Reliability of Eurail Webstie Timetables

So I’m planning a trip through Eurail and have already found out that alot of the trains don’t match on the app vs online (I did as much research as possible and I know that the app isn’t always reliable since timetables aren’t always current). My question is how reliable is the Eurail website timetables? A few of the trains I need require seat reservations (despite conflicting with the app saying seat reservations are only recommended), but when I double check the trains with a specific country’s timetables there are vast discrepancies. I’m afraid to make a train reservation on Eurail if the train doesn’t end up existing. Any advice on this? Should I just trust the Eurail website and go ahead and get the reservations?

Ferry with discount: travel day or not?

Hello! I am a bit confused: we booked one overnight ferry (Stockholm-Turku) and one short ferry (Helsinki-Tallinn), both with discount but not free. I assume this is not a travelday, but I am not 100% sure. Can anyone confirm? We have a Global pass with 7 traveldays in 1 month. Thank you!!Ella

Night Jet - Milan to Munich - Austrian border controls

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been trying to find availability on a night train, I’ve clearly left it far too late as the closest I can get is either just a seat or a luxury cabin. I was thrilled to come across lots of availability on the NightJet from Milan to Munich on 11th August and changed my plans accordingly. I nearly finished booking the journey on the Night Jet website before having a look on Train Line and was gutted to see what looked like border controls in place between Austria and Slovenia just past salzburg . From Trainline it looks like you get off the Nigh Jet at Salzburg and get another domestic train to Freilassing, where you go through border controls, then get on another domestic train to Munich! Rather defeats the point of a sleeper train. Not mentioned on the Nighjet OBB website. Has anyone experienced this journey with checks? Is my research right because I really want a sleeper and it’s not mentioned by OBB?From a quick google it seems the border ch

Impossible to book seat reservations - the cart remains empty

Hello, I want to make reservations for my trip on the Interrail website. I add the desired reservations to the cart but the cart remains empty and it is therefore impossible for me to pay. Has anyone ever had this problem? I tried to contact Interrail support but they don’t answer. Thank you all.

Split - Zagreb night train

HelloWe want to travel (with our two kids) on a night train from Split to Zagreb in August (on a Monday night). The reservations tool seems to say we don’t need a reservation, which I am sure is not true! We want to book a couchette room so that we can all have a bunk. I have spoken to the Croatian railway company HZPP, but they said that with an interrail pass we can only reserve the couchette in person at the railway station. We will only be able to get to the train station on the day we want to travel. We can’t afford not to travel that night, as we have a tight schedule the next day. Does anyone know if it gets full up? Is it safer to book and pay for a couchette separately? it’s not expensive as there’s a special discount currently. Any thoughts very welcome! Thank you

Seat reservation not recieved

Still on Monday I booked seat reservations from Vicenza to Milano Centrale, from Strasbourg to Paris Est and from Paris Est to Bruxelles-Midi. To this day I haven’t recieved the confirmation email with my seats despite the payment being processed and the bank report stating that the money has been collected by “Eurail Utrecht NLD”.It has been two days since I first contacted the support service and I recieved a single email by an operator on Tuesday in which I was asked to send the payment ID, thing that I did. After that I never heard anything from anyone. Also my seat reservation overview is empty. I should leave on Monday and there are no more seats aviable so I’m stuck in limbo seeing as my travel companion has managed to book his seats without any kind of problem.

Italy night train reservation

Hello:) I looked for quite a while here for an answer of my question, but was not able to find a solution.I would like to book a reservation for the night train INI1960 from Siracusa (21:45) to Napoli (7:22). I would like to book two reservations for a private cabin. On interrail.eu it is just possible to book a 4 person cabin. On italiarail.com I can select it, but due to the known issue with this website I can not book it (The problem is, that they want an 8 digit Passholder number which is not available on the mobile app). On trenitalia I could also book a 2 person private cabin, but of course the whole ticket, I am not able to just book the reservation.Which option do I have to buy just the reservation for a private 2 person cabin for this train?I was thinking a long time to purchase the Interail ticket. It is my first time, and unfortunately this train would be the first travel of my interailtrip, as I am starting in Siracusa, and for the reason that it is so expensive on the Tre

Can't book reservation Bucharest-Istanbul

As I can’t make a reservation for the Bucharest Istanbul train online, and yet would like to avoid any potential disasters as I am travelling with my panicky father, would there be any way for someone to make the reservation for us at Bucharest train station/is there any way at all that I can make the reservation in advance: We will only be arriving in Bucharest a couple of hours before taking the train, so that’s why there could be a problem. In any case, how full would the train be likely to be in September? Thanks

Cancelled Connection

Hi,My husband and I were originally scheduled to travel from Prague to Salzburg via train on August 8th. Our original schedule had us taking a train from Prague to Linz and then catching another train in Linz and arriving in Salzburg. I received an email that there is a “discrepancy” with our trip and that our connection may no longer be available. When I looked at the timetable (https://fahrplan.oebb.at/bin/query.exe/dn?start=1&S=Praha%20hl.n.&Z=Linz/Donau%20Hbf&date=08.08.2022&time=10:04), it appears that our original route is no longer available. Instead, it appears that we would need to take a train from Prague to Rybnik, take a bus from Rybnik to Linz, and then catch our original train from Linz to Salzburg. My question is: can I use my original ticket to board the new train and bus, or do I need to be issued a new ticket? I don’t see a way to change the ticket on the website without paying for it again. It’s also not clear on the timetable who the bus operator is.

Seat reservations for the nighttrain from Hamburg to Fredericia

Hello!It's the first time I'm using an interrail pass and I would like to have your advice on something. My sister and I were planning to take the night train from Hamburg to Fredericia on the 17th of August, departing at 23:56 and arriving at 4:39. According to the app, it's a train whitout seat reservations recommended. For more safety we reserved seats for all our journeys but I have a problem with this one : I can't reserve seats (I tried several websites) but I can buy tickets for 57,80€. The trains just before and just after can't take reservations either. We are staying only one day in Hamburg and we have a train connection at Fredericia so we don't have much room for manoeuvre. Do you think that we can take this train without reservations and not encounter difficulties or do you think that we should buy tickets even if it's a bit pricey?Thank you in advance for your advice,Océane

Changing devices

Hi:)So I’m leaving for my trip soon, and I need to add my pass to my phone, which doesn't work because I've added it on my computer (didn’t know back then I can only have it on one device). To remove it from my computer, I need to delete my trip. To delete my trip, it tells me I first need to delete travellers from the trip. If I click on edit travellers and want to select the only traveller (myself) to "delete this traveller", I can't select myself because "you can't delete this travellers details" with no explanation as to why or what I could do to change this. I need the pass on my phone so I have the tickets with me on the train.Does anyone know what I need to do? Did I just not get something? And sorry if there’s already an answer to this that I couldn’t find.I’m thankful for any advice!
