Get ready to travel

Im travelling from Vienna to Venice on the 24th of July (around 6am) and im having a lot of issues because the app and the reservation website show different trains. Here is my conversation with the community. I kept reading and i found out that i should just go on the OBB website and book a train there. However on the website it gives me 2 options to look for in a ticket after i say that I own an interrail ticket. when i say i just want a seat reservation it costs 6€. When i buy the one way ticket its 20€ (im buying 2 tickets btw). My question is if I need to buy the ticket aswell or does the interrail ticket cover that, and if it does, how do i get a

How do I get from Amsterdam Airport AMS to the train station traveling through Germany

I want to book a journey from Germany to England, using ICE trains in Germany and a Eurostar to travel to England. As ICEs are often delayed, I wondered what would happen if I miss the Eurostar due to a delay of the ICE before.Does my seat reservation then count for the next train or what would I have to do?Thanks for help!

Hello all, According with the EU Passenters Rights (1370/2007), the taveller has the choice to cancel, or abort the trip if the delayment will be minimum of 60 minutes (before, or during the trip). In this case the price of the ticket will be refunded for 100% (other-said: the double of the refund when the dalayment would be 120 minutes). Which Refund will Eurail give, if a trip will be aborted due to the above-called case? Examples: 1: The Night-Train Paris-Wien was cancelled and no replacement-train, or bus was set in to bring the traveller to his destination? Traveller has decided to cancel his trip to Vienna. 2: The train from Innsbruck to Zürich was too late and connected-train in Sargans could not be reached,, next train starts 60 Minutes later and will be 60 minutes later in Arosa, so the trip to Arosa became due to the 60 Minutes delayment useless and traveller decided to break-up the trip in Sargans and travels with the s

Hello!I’m planning my trip around Europe and I plan to leave my home country soon. The only thing is that I can’t seem to find an answer to a couple of my questions. I hope you guys can help me!If I have 3 connecting trains on my trip from Aarhus (DK) - Warszawa (PL), (Aarhus - Hamburg, Hamburg - Berlin, Berlin - Warszawa) the same day, will they count as 1 travel day?And how do I write it down in my pass? (I would love to see an example) Do I write every single journey and connecting train or just Aarhus - Warszawa?Do you prefer the mobile pass or the paper pass? (I haven’t bought one yet, but I need to decide soon)How does it work with one in- and outbound day for your home country? Lets say I buy a 7 day 1 month pass - does the two days I travel to and from home count as 2 out of the 7 days?Thank you Tips and tricks are very welcome!

Hello,I have tweo questions regarding the interrail global pass:My primary country of residency is Germany, however, I am also registered in the Netherlands as my second country of residency. Does my first country of residency count as my home country that I can only travel twice, or can I choose which one counts? If Germany counts as my country of residency and I want to travel from France to Poland, or from Switzerland to the Netherlands, can I travel through Germany (if it happens in one day and I do not stop in Germany)? Or do I have to take routes that avoid Germany? Because I obviously use my two travel days in order to leave Germany in the first place and then in order to go back once my travelling is done.Thank you so much for the answer!

I live in Germany and I would like to know if I can use Interrail global pass valid for 3 months to go back and forth from Germany to France, to Italy, to Switzerland etc. For instance, I travel on Monday from Berlin to France and return to Berlin on Tuesday. Then I decide to travel again on Wednesday from Berlin to Milan and return to Berlin on Thursday. Then I travel again on Saturday from Berlin to Zurich and return to Berlin on Sunday.

HiThe day before yesterday I bought a mobile Interrail Benelux Pass because I want to travel from Belgium (my country of residence) to the Netherlands 3x in the upcoming 4 weeks. I'm a Belgian Citizen.I activated my pass like the instructions said (so it has a beginning and end date) but when I wanted to add my journey from Gavere (BE) to Breda (NL) and back, yesterday, I was not able to. The error message said my pass was not available in some of these countries.  App = Rail Planner.So I had to buy another expensive ticket.I really don't understand why I can't use my pass.So now my pass is useless and I cannot apply for a refund because it’s activated.I hope there is a solution so it’s not money down the drain.What I want is to travel from Belgium (country where I live) to The Netherlands a couple of times.Thanks for helping my out here and suggesting a good solution.Have a great day,Tan

So basically, with an interrail pass, can you reserve a private coupe for the night train from Sweden to Berlin? Will there be additional costs to that?

Hello Interrail!I wanted to show my parents that Interrail is fun and flexible. Unfortunately we are not able to make a reservation for the eurostar from London to Bruxelles next wednesday. Furthermore I was not able to find the website for reservations for the stena line ferry. So they are about to make a refund of our passes and buy a flight ticket. Is there some way you can help me? I really wanted to show them that trains are better than flights... I would be very grateful if you could give me a fast answer. Greetings,Caroline

Hi there!Last night we booked our seats to travel from Paris to Barcelona in August, but the reservation does not appear in the “Reservation Overview” section of my profile. I read that reservations involving paper tickets, which is the case, may take up to 5 days to be processed. Is this the reason why I can’t see the reservation in my profile, or is it due to a technical problem?Thanks a lot for you advice!Best regards,Olalla

Hello once again It's my first day using the 3-day pass and I wanted to know if I could change one of the trains of my trip to one earlier. I had a reservation for the one I chose first but this one doesn't need any reservation. So i just changed on the apo but the other one still appears on my trip. Can i go on the one I chose today or will I be in trouble?(I'm in Italy by the way)

I need to return my paper pass for a refund in the next few days (due to covid), but don’t know where to send it. I clicked on the refund button in my account and obtained a number but can’t find a postal address. Can anyone help? Thanks

Looking to travel from Istanbul to London by train, but having some difficulties with planning. Can someone confirm if the Bosporus Express is definitely running? Also, how does this train work with an Interrail Pass, given that you can’t book in advance online, and can only secure tickets at the ticket office in Hakalli Station. Do you just show the pass at the office, and do you have to pay any extra money? Also, how likely is it that there will be spare places onboard, given that we will only be able to arrive at the station just before the journey.It’s my first time getting an Interrail Pass, and so not quite sure how the system works.

Hello, I am trying to make multiple group reservations for multiple trips/dates. However I run into a couple problems:I can only pay by credit card, not via bank transfer or invoice. Would this be possible? If I buy the one country pass Italy and I travel to/back home to the Netherlands, does that fall under the one country pass or do I need a global pass? Because of the several destinations and dates, I just want to get into contact with customer service. Can someone help me with this?

Does anyone what to do in Estonia, when (“Elron”) conductors who do not recognize - or do not wish to be bothered with - mobile Global passes?In five days, I have ridden Elron trains maybe six times.On my very first ride, the conductor - to her credit - telephoned HQ and asked what to do.TWO conductors have said the Pass “is not good.” Only ONE conductor has recognized the pass and issued the €0.00 receipt (per Elron procedure). I’ve saved these and showing them has helped - sometimes (twice thus far).Yesterday, after showing a previous Elron receipt, the conductor said “let it be” (according to an English-speaking passenger sitting next to me) and walked away.Today, the conductor said that the mobile Pass was “no good,” and said that the previous Elron receipt was “not good” (it shows Tallinn as the destination; I’m going to Paldiski).By (sharp) contrast, I’ve used intercity buses four times, and ticket sellers and drivers

Hi everyone, we are trying to purchase the 4 days Greek islands pass, but the only options for the pass is paper and the delivery date is all the way in September and we are traveling in August, any help on how to get it faster?

I am experiencing issues adding my trip to the pass; it states it’s not valid in all countries.I got a Benelux pass, travelling from Enschede (Netherlands) over Amsterdam to Brussels.Always when I want to active the journey of a trip to get the QR Code, it gives me an error message saying: „your pass isn’t valid in some of these countries“.I also tested other trains; it doesn’t let me add any trips to my pass. FAQ wasn’t a help either, as well as the customer service.Can someone help me here or has similar issues?

I need to return a pass as the country of residence was printed wrong. The refund procedure on the website worked fine, I received my refund number and now only have to send the ticket, but I now have two different addresses. For days I have not received an answer as to which address I should send the ticket to.There is the return label that came with the tickets, with the address:Eurail. B.V., Int. Business Return Service, I.B.R.S./C.C.R.I. No.7, 3500 ZA Utrecht (NL).However, on the website I was told a different address after the process was completed:Eurail. B.V., Pass refund, P.O. Box 2338, 3500 GH Utrecht (NL) please can anyone help confirm which address is correct? Has anyone sent a pass back in the post before? Your help will be much appreciated!!  @Nanja please help

Hello everyone!Is there a way to find out the structure of the train seats, or at the least the structure of the train carriage seats? Or is there a site for this? In some cases (DB, ČD) there’s no problem to choose from the train map and just click on the available seats and you know exactly which seats you’ll be sitting on. But in some other cases (DSB, SJ) I can just see the carriage number and the seat numbers that are there. But I can’t see if it’s in a coupe or if we’re sitting in a row of 3 seats or if we are sitting by the table... Is there some way to find this out? Thank you for your answers!
