Can a resident of Germany travel with Eurail?

Hello,I am currently studying in Germany and therefore have the residence permit (not a citizen of Germany), but I would like to travel with Eurail, since I bought it already with the price cheaper than interrail. Can I use this? Or I have to use Interrail instead? thanks a lot!

‘Activate’ pass 2-3 days before travel?

Hi! I intend to begin my interrail in 2 weeks with a journey Prague-Warsaw. To avoid wasting time on the pass’s validity, I won’t activate it until like 2-3 days before the journey. In your experience, is there a risk of trains becoming fully-booked if I do this?

Seat Reservation from France to Spain -booked as paper ticket but mistake in address

Need to stop in Country of residence- how can I do it?

Hi there, I need to stop in country of residence (Netherlands) before going on to the UK. Therefore once I leave I will have no outbound journey left. I understand that I can buy a separate ticket within the Netherlands to a “virtual” train station on the border (Dutch-Belgium), however 1) how do I know which virtual train station I will need to buy a ticket to? 2) how do I buy this ticket to the virtual station- is it just via the usual NS app? Thank you! (Also I can keep travelling outside of my country of residence once I’ve used my in/outbound right?)

Trains in Croatia covered by interrail?

Can I actually use my eurail pass on any trains in Croatia.  everything I try to book it says seat reservations required but then I get this message on every connection using the reservation tool! :Prices unavailableNo price results were found for this connection. It is possible that all pass holder seats are sold out. Please try searching for another connection or check 'More information' and try other ways to book this seat reservation. If no pass holder seats are available anymore you need to buy a separate full fare ticket to board.

Boarding a train at 23h57 - will it only take one travel day?

Hi, If I want to go from Amsterdam to Berlin, there is a route that passes by Frankfurt, (so Amsterdam-Frankfurt in early pm on the 31st), but then we need to board a train from FF to Berlin, which is scheduled to leave at 23h57 per rail planner app. 1) will it still only take one travel day since we board before 24H? 2) if the train is late and leaves at 12h40PM, will it still count as only one travel day on the 31st or will it add a 2nd travel day? Thanks!

What is the difference between adding a travel day and adding a journey on the Rail planner app

Hi All, I am completely new to Eurail, I have purchased my pass and activated it and chosen my first travel date but have not used any more travel days as yet, I still have 14/15 as I have purchased a 15 days over 2 months global passMy question is simply what is the difference between adding a travel day on the rail planner app compared to a journey?My wife and I have already reserved seating for all of our journeys and I am adding them as journeys on the app, is this what I should be doing? Or should I be adding them as Travel days? Thanks in advance Jesse

Hi, I bought a ticket from the DB reisezentrum from Berlin to Warsaw on the EC.I read some of the forum posts - but was after clarification please.Once I’m in Warsaw, how do you arrange seat reservations? I can put the journeys into My Trips but is there a specific train company in Poland that should be used? And is it always paper tickets?And I know there aren’t really any trains atm going to Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, etc. But in the south direction to Budapest, Vienna, etc is everything running pretty standard?Thanks

How to book a train if it shows "you're ready to board"?

Hello! We are traveling with discoverEU interrail pass and we want to book our train from Ljubljana to Venice. Details about the train: from Ljubljana it departs at 18:53, 21:32 arrives at Trieste Centrale (Italy). Then we wait for 34mins and from Trieste Centrale, at 22:06 we continue our trip to Venezia Mestre, where we arrive at 23:50. Is there any possibility to book a train reservation on both of these trains? They both appear as “you’re ready to board”, but we would rather be sure. Thank you for your answers!

Reserving 2-bed couchette Bucharest Istanbul Train via CFR

Hi. Looking to buy a ticket from Bucharest to Istanbul via the Romanian State Railways website. I know that this is more expensive than necessary given that I am buying both the ticket and the reservation, but I want everything to be booked before starting our journey as I am travelling with my fret-happy father. However, online it seems like one can only book a place in a  4-bed couchette, despite the fact that I know other options should be available (3-bed, 2-bed, etc.). Is there any way to book a place in a 2-bed couchette online? If not, and I have booked the 4-bed couchette in advance, is there a way it could be upgraded at Bucharest train station if there was availability, provided I paid the difference? Thanks!

Inbound/outbound lost due to problems with DB journey

Hi, I would like to report a problem. I was supposed to travel to Sweden form Frankfurt with my Interrail pass. The ticket was already activated and that the inbound/outbound function. Due to problems with the DB I wasn’t able to make my trip and I lost both my outbound and inbound tickets. Could you help me with this ? It’s my first time getting Interrail, lost a lot of money in hotels and stuff and wasn’t able to get a refund in my seat reservations. I’m not asking for a refund I just want my inbound/outbound pass available since I haven’t used any. I’ve tried everything to get in touch with costumer service from Interrail and still have no answers.
