Booking night train from Split to Zagreb

Hi,I want to take the night train from Split to Zagreb on the 14th of August with my Eurail ticket, it says I need to book a seat reservation but when I go to the Eurail website to book the seat reservation it says they are not available to be booked. Can I just buy my seat reservation on the day or is it all sold out already?

Change set "change over" time + Group seating

Hi, I have 2 questions; When planning a trip requiring a train change, I notice there is often a very brief amount of time eg: Brugges to Paris via Brussels has 10 mins (or less). The first leg does not require a reservation so, can I catch an earlier train to ensure I have enough time to catch the second one, which DOES required a reservation? If so, how do i do this on the planning function on the app as it defaults to the quickest trip? or doesn’t it really matter as long as I am there in time for the train requiring reservations? We are a group of 6 and would like to sit together if possible. Does this mean 1 person has to make all the bookings? How does than work with the app?Thank you and I apologise if I have been long-winded and unclear.Diane.

Free plus upgrade

For your information: The upgrade to Plus is temporarily free, meaning that mobile passes bought with the free plus upgrade are fully refundable. Normally, the plus upgrade is not refundable, so this is a good opportunity if you are not yet 100% sure of your plans (personally find the statement "100% refund" to be confusing)

I'm a Eurail 2nd pass customer and I'm creating my journey, but on my way from Schiphol to Brussels Midi it appears that I need supplements.I want to take the regional train trip at 8:43 on February 18, 2023.Should I do something with this add-in or is it a mistake?Do I need to pay something? Just add it to my journey? Do I need to buy something at the train station?

Can you have one pass be used for multiple groups or "trips"

I am trying to book seat reservations for myself and a group of friends (6 including me) for a journey going from Budapest to Venice (you end up having to go to Wein then back to Venice). This is a part of a larger trip we are taking around Europe.When I book it says this leg of the journey is unavailable please try a different, so I look up this error and find out it may be because there are 6 people in our “trip” I’ve set up.I was wondering if it would be possible to link my pass to two “trips”: one for “trip” of 6 people which is to be used for the majority of journeys taken between countries and another for the one journey where we need to potentially split into two groups in order to be able to book seat reservations. We each have our own passes.

Rail planner app - how to put coach seat numbers

Hello I have brought seat reservations for few trains using the Rail Europe app. How do I put the coach and seat numbers into my pass in the Rail Planner app? Is it even possible or necessary? I have the trains already saved into ‘My Trips’ in Rail Planner.  Thanks.

Another confused traveler - I don't understand the unavailability of reservations

Hey and I apologize in advance if these questions about reservations are getting annoying but I find it highly confusing and also rather inconvenient. Quick background, I’m using my Interrail ticket for work purposes so I’m unfortunately not as flexible and have to be at certain places at certain times. I’m struggling with the following connections: Ljubljana (Slovenia) to Poland using the EC212 to Vienna and EC100 from Vienna are indicated as ‘prices unavailable’ in the reservation tool (my travel is less than 2 months away and I checked both the Polish and Austrian train operators’ websites, not bookable either) Similar from Poland to Berlin with an IC direct connection ‘Seat reservations unavailable, It seems no price offer is available right now’ - also when I look now at reservations within the next 30 days it's the same issue. How can I make a reservation for these trains? Perhaps at a train station in Austria beforehand? Barcelona to Sevilla, Madrid to Sevilla: am I correct that

UK/ NZ Citizen Living in Canada - Want to Bike/ Train

I’m a NZ & UK dual citizen currently living in Canada. I did Interrail back in 2013 when I lived in London, and from what I remember I couldn’t use it for train journeys WITHIN the UK, but I flew to Denmark and went via Switzerland to Spain anyway so it didn’t matter.This time I’m planning to fly in/out of London and want to do mostly slow travel to get around - bike/ train/ ferry. I want to take a couple trains within the UK/ Ireland probably and then over to mainland Europe + across to probably Eastern Germany/ Denmark/ Sweden. Does the restriction of travel in your “home nation” still apply? Would it be best for me to get Interrail using my UK passport + sister’s address, or Eurail using my NZ passport + Canadian address?Also, if anyone has done interrail/eurail with a bike please give me tips. The Chatbot said to check the linked schedule for bike options and then linked me to a Deutschbahn page. It also said I need to “buy a separate ticket” for my bike but I don’t remember ev

How many interrail days from Bucharest to Istanbul in May?

I think that the trip from Bucharest to Istanbul in May should count as one interrail day as there is a through sleeper from Dimitrovgrad to Halkali. My problem is that the Interrail app is coming up as two separate journeys on two separate days:Dimitrovdrad - Kapikule 22.50-00.45 on SaturdayKapikule - Halkali 2.30-6.34 on SundayHow do I avoid using two days of my 5 day pass?Thanks

Cannot add train journeys, travel day deducted

Hello,I cannot add train journeys anymore to my mobile pass. However a travel day has been deducted although it was not used. I am in the middle of my journey. So I had to buy tickets and will have to buy more tickets for the trains. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app multiple times. But it still does not work. This is very frustrating. Is there a number I can call? I tried contacting Interrail everywhere but everywhere they just ask to wait for 2 to 4 business days.Regards,Anusha

Using same device & app with one Eurail & one Interrail pass

Hi there,I am Swiss but have been living in Australia for over 4 years on a temporary student visa. I do not have any government issued proof of residency in Australia, so I will need to use an Interrail pass.My partner is Australian, and will need an Eurail pass.Just wondering if I can use an Interrail AND an Eurail pass within the same app, on the same device? Or does the Rail Planner only allow you to add passes of the same category (Eurail OR Interrail)?Let me know!

Adding Journeys when flying to another destination

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help. I am flying from Rome to Barcelona to save travel days. Can I add a journey when i land in barcelona without joining it to Rome. I planned on doing my route to Rome and then just starting again in Barcelona - is this possible? Or will I need to start another “Trip” in the app and start there?

Croatia/Bosnia

In a couple of weeks time I intend to travel around Croatia and Bosnia on my honeymoon, both me and the wife (to be at the moment, seems crazy writing that after the last 18month) are double jabbed, so it will be fine entering Croatia from the UK, are we able to cross into Bosnia and then back into Croatia again the next week without doing anything, or will we need to do tests and at what point.  Are things more complicated with us no longer being in EU/Schengen and Croatia being in EU and Bosnia not.Many thanks if anyone knows the answers, my head hurts from looking at all the different things 🤣.
