Hi,We are 6 adults with 4 aged over 60 and 2 aged between 50 and 60 years old.  We would like to buy Eurail global pass.  My questions are:Can one person buy 6 passes or each of 6 needs to buy their own pass individually? Shall each of 6 need to download the Eurail app regardless Is there any advantage/disadvantage buying the passes by one for all 6 or each individual

Average price of reservations and short connections

People! I have two questions and I really need a little help. I’m thinking about choose the Global Pass for a 30 days trip. My first question is related to the seat reservations. How much it costs for example 2 class London to Belgium? Or an avarage value. Any answer will help me. The second question is wether I can travel by train in tha same city, for example Paris to Paris or Madrid to Madrid.  I really appreciate your answers!!

Connection time at Montpellier Sant Roc

Hi, We want to travel from Barcelona to Geneva on Thursday 29 June.The suggested route is:10.33 Barcelona to Montpellier Sant Roc arriving at 13:41.13.53 Montpellier Sant Roc to Lyon Part Dieu arriving at 15:51.16.38 Lyon Part Dieu arriving at Geneva at 18:35. I am concerned because the connection time at Montpellier is only 12 minutes. We are a family of six on a five week trip, so will have a reasonable degree of luggage - probably four suitcases.Is the connection time in Montpellier Sant Roc feasible?If we miss the connection in Montpellier Sant Roc at 13:53 because the Barcelona train is late will we be allowed to get on the 14:51 (ie fact they transfer our reservations from the 13:53 to the 14:51)? Would really appreciate any advice re: the above.

In-Station Night Train Reservations? (+ how does it work?)

Hi! I have a few questions about reservations, more specifically night trains. I’m planning to take a night train from Warsaw Central to Budapest (IC407), and I’ve found Polrail and Czech Transport websites to book the reservations for a sleeper. The only thing is, that the shipping is so pricey and I’m anxious I won’t get them in time. Is it possible to book a bed or couchette in station in Warsaw Central? I’ll be traveling mid-June. Another question I have, is how is the station reservation booking process? Even for normal seats. Do you just show your Interrail pass and the train you want to take?  This is my first Interrail trip, so I am a bit confused and anxious about reservations!

reservation Haparanda Sweden to Narvik Norway 11th July

Dear helper, The 11th of July we want to catch the 7.34 train from Haparanda to Narvik. But this one can book only to half May! There is no reservation to make on the planner. Does anyone know about this connection? Is it fully booked soon if free? We'll leave from the Netherlands at 30 June and all the other reservations for Sweden and Norway and Germany are booked. What is with this one? (Fortunately in Finland one can travel without reservations)Have fun with travelling!Froukje

9 countries from Budapest to Helsinki: feedback needed.

Hi,I had come up with the idea of doing a nice trip with my brother from Budapest to Helsinki, stopping in a lot of countries we have never been to. However, deepening my research in this page, I have come to understand that:there is pretty much no train from Warsaw to Helsinki, it would all be buses + ferry some countries are really pass-friendly but others are not  Our desired travel dates are from 1st to 15th Aug.  Would you be able to tell me what itinerary could I do that is train-friendly and that does not involve Germany / Italy or anything West of that, since we have visited all those countries?  I know the question is very open ended, but truly any tips will help. Have spent hours soaking info on this forum, but most of the questions I find are for Western Europe.  Thanks!

Is Saint Pancras to Brussels Midi an inbound/outbound UK trip?

I have a Global rail pass and was planning to travel Manchester to Saint Pancras, then on to Brussels Midi on the 3rd Jan as an outbound trip.Due to a UK strike on the 3rd I can only do the Manchester to St Pancras section on the 2nd. The St Pancras to Brussels is still booked for the 3rd (£280 if I want to change to the 2nd).Can anyone advise if the St Pancras to Brussels counts as an Inbound/outbound leg or could I use one of my additional travel days for the St Pancras to Brussels trip?

Global Pass Italien

Ich habe überlegt mit dem Global Pass nach Italien zu fahren aber ich merke Interrail Fahrer werden in vielen Ländern einfach von den Zuggesellschaften diskriminiert! Warum kann ich keine Sitzplatzreservierung bei Trenitalia.com machen? Ich möchte meinen genauen Platz aussuchen können wie Normalbucher auch! Man kann nirgendwo den Interrail Pass angeben bei einer allgemeinen Buchung. Was ist hier los?

I think I made a mistake by buying the Global Flex Pass - HELP!

We have never traveled by rail before let alone with the rail pass. When evaluating rail passes months ago, it appeared that a 10 day flexible pass would be our best option because I assumed that the rail pass worked for all trains, per the list of countries it says it covers.  So we purchased it and the train tickets for the first leg from Paris to Strasbourg because we were concerned about getting seats. However, now that we are ready to commit to other trains, we are finding that we need to reserve seats, which have to be done at the train station and according to the Rail Planner App some of the trains are “Not in the Pass Network”.We also want to use gondolas and tourist trains in Switzerland. So now I’m wondering the global flex pass was the wrong thing to buy.If it doesn’t make sense, can I cancel the train reservation made and get a refund for the rail pass and what would you recommend instead?  HELP PLEASE!  9/6 - Paris  to Strasbourg to Grindelwald9/11 - Grindelwald to Kander

Stopover in a night train after midnight

We got the 5 days train pass, but there are some that are overnight. If a train leaves before 00:00 but has a stopover after 00:00 which we’ll have to switch trains, does that count as two days of travelling or just one? Thank you

Night train reservation Italy

Hi allI have an interrail global pass and a couchette reservation for the Intercity Notte from Milano Centrale to Bari for this coming Saturday. The plan is to come from Switzerland during the day and then catch the night train in the evening in Milan.Now I am thinking to go even a bit further to Piacenza using day trains, have dinner with a friend there and then catch the night train from there (Piacenza is its first stop after Milano). Do you think this is possible? Or will my reservation expire if I’m not on the train in Milan?Does anyone have any experience here?Many thanks in advance for your help!Kind regardsSebastian

Lost in the process. Please help with the clearest instructions possible

Greetings. I am planning to travel with a family of 7 members to Europe in 2 months. I want to buy the Eurorailglobal pass for 4 days.  We are planning leaving Rome to Lausanne as the 1st trip. How do I do this? I have check the Frecciarossa. But I am confused if just with the eurorailglobal pass is enough or if they take it to travel.  I know I have to pay faside for a seat reservation, but when I enter the dates in the Eurorailglobal pass it does not show the dates I need yet.  Also, I do not feel confortable downloading the app to obtain the tickets due to the phone connection. I am a tourist. I want to print the EURORAIL global passes if I ended up buying them. I do not know if I must use the train or the plane. Please advise and explain. Thanks in advance for your help.

Eurail App and reservations

Hi! I bought a Eurail pass (15 days within 2 months) and booked several trains already. I am seeing my reservations on the Eurail website, but not on the app. How do I see them on the app? I know I am logged in correctly because my Eurail confirmation number is the same! Thank you in advance.
