Countries on red list; Covid

Does the red colour code for covid mean that you can’t entre the country at all? I’ve had a look on Re-open EU (europa.eu) website but am still unsure. Also, do you need 2 or 3 vaccinations to be able to travel or is this dependant on the country and is it just you covid vaccination pass that’s needed.

Los horarios no están disponibles en Timetable de Eurail

 Alguien puede informarme por qué, desde hace dos días, es imposible acceder a los horarios de trenes cubiertos por Eurail (con y sin requerimiento de reservas.) ? Estoy programando un viaje y de pronto me quedé sin esos datos. Esa herramienta es muy útil, pero desapareció, y no sé por qué... Soy de Santa Fe, Capital - Argentina.

Global Pass Question - 11 months to activate or complete travel?

Hi there,Our family is ready to purchase a Global Pass 10 days/2 Months. Per the conditions on the site I see that we have an 11 month deadline to use the pass. Does this mean we have to activate the pass within 11 months, or complete our 10 days of travel within 11 months?Due to possible (but hopefully unlikely) new Covid issues I want to know when would be our last day to cancel the pass and get a full refund?  The site says a full refund is possible if one cancels “no later than six months from the last possible activation date of the Pass”.For example if today is January 31(purchase day), Expiration day 11 months from now would be December 31 and 6 months prior to this is June 30. So would June 30 be our latest cancellation day?Our first day of using the rail system will be in late May, so I think we are OK here, but just want to make sure as there seems to be some ambiguity of the terms.Thank you! John

Paper Eurail Pass Appears to be Lost in the Mail

I have not received my paper pass even though I ordered it on November 26th of 2021. The tracking updates have also stopped updating, with the last update being on January 1st 2022. It seems as if my pass may have been lost in the mail. I would like to obtain a mobile pass as a replacement for my paper pass.   After reading through the return and replacement policies it seems that an exchange is only possible if I send the paper pass back. Is it possible to obtain a replacement pass if I am unable to send the paper pass back due to it being lost in the mail?

Problem with Mobile pass

Hi there!There is a problem with the Mobil pass. The searching tool is broken, there is a bug in the app and now I can't add trips to my journey anymore. Is there any way to fix this issue?At the beginning it works perfectly, maybe it would help to deinstall and reinstall the app. Is it possible or is the mobil pass deleted then? Or are there other people with the same problem? Best regardsBenno

Problem with ticket delivery

Good evening, I am trying to buy a Eurail pass, however, the only option it gives me is a paper pass and not a mobile pass, additionally, the paper pass would be delivered after the date of the trip.¿Can the paper pass be exchanged for a mobile pass after purchase?

Which pass? One country or Global Pass?

Hello, why is the global pass cheaper than the one country pass? We are wanting to interrail around Switzerland but it is cheaper for us to buy the global pass. Will this still give the same experience as one country pass? :) thank you

Travel Diary: do I write my departure and arrival station or also the transfer cities in between?

Hi, I was wondering if I have a transfer, do I also have to write that in my travel diary? So if I were to travel from Brussels to Nuremberg with a change in Frankfurt do i have to write: from brussels to nuremberg and then from nuremberg to frankfurt or can I just write from brussels to Nuremberg on my travel diary? Thank you, David

how to book - works on the line

I wasn’t able to book a nightjet ticket for July on the Amsterdam to Vienna route via ÖBB as there weren’t any routes showing in my search. So I asked ÖBB’s customer services why this was, and got a reply today: “The reason why the Nightjet from Amsterdam to Vienna is not bookable is due to construction works. The timetable still has to be worked out for this. Therefore, please keep trying to book the desired journey.” Does anyone know about this, and when the timetable is likely to be “worked out”? I am a bit confused about the advice to keep trying! I’ve got a whole family holiday resting on very specific travel requirements, so would appreciate a bit of help understanding if I should just find an alternative if if it’s likely I’ll be able to book this route in a few months. I could ask ÖBB but the last reply took 11 days so thought it would be faster here.  Thanks!

Reversal of invoice issued stating E-Ticket not presentable

Eurail Global Pass Ref: TLVCPYI am a tourist from India who got this pass prior to my travel to Europe. I had used the Eurail Pass on a few occasions in the past years. Those days it was just physical paper and I had to just put in the date of my travel before I board any train, it was easy and simple to start with after validating the pass at a train station before my first travel.With this digital pass I had downloaded the app and tried working on it. Sooner I realized to have done something and lost the 1st day of travel (19th of Oct 2021) even without traveling anywhere. I had to make my travel on 21st morning from Geneva to Rosenheim (Germany). So on 20th visited the train station at Cornavin, Geneva I showed by Eurail pass details entered in the app and also by travel details for next day. The person who attended me at the Information center said my Eurail Pass was all set and I can have an hassle free travel. Next day at Geneva Aeroport train station again I went and asked a per

Booking Paper reservations while travelling. How does that work?

Hi, I am planning to go interrailing for three months, but I don't have a plan on where to go exactly. So I wanted to just make reservations as I go. I was wondering however how that would work with the physical reservations that you get in the post. Since I won't have an address because I'm traveling and I won't be in the same place for very long I was wondering how that works. Thank you, David

External certificated of vaccinacion

Hi everyone. This is my first time in Europe. Im traveling next week with my parter in Eurail. We are gonna visit  Netherlands and Belgium so we are very glad. We are both fully vaccinated and we have the vaccinated certification of our country (wich is not in Europe) so we havent got the green pass yet. Are there any problems or risks if we only travel with the certification of our country? What could happen?I'll be so grateful to have an answer from you guys! Thank you so much!

Interrail pass days

Good afternoon. Today i’m planning my summer trip with some friends, using our interrail pass, and we have a big doubt about something we are thinking to do. The question is pretty simple. If we take a train before the day ends, let’s say, at 23 hours, and we arrive into our destination at 6 hours of the next day, to say an example, will we be wasting two days of the pass? Or on the other side it’s only taken into account the date in which you take the train at first. Thank you very much.
