App update - final destination dissapeared

With the latest update to v20, the app no longer shows the final destination of the train, only where I’m stopping.  The final destination was nice because that’s what is listed on the departure boards in the train stations, and sometimes the train numbers aren’t always consistent with what’s in the app. Am I missing something on this new version, and can we get the final destination back? Thanks!

Interrail summer 2022

Hi everyone! My name is Filipa, I'm 22 years old and I'm Portuguese. I'm planning on doing an interrail next summer (2022) and I've planned my travel travel already. But I don't have anybody to go with. So, if you are reading this and you are, like me, a possible solo backpacker, that just wants to enjoy your youth and know the world, feel free to message me.Since I'm posting, I take this opportunity to ask other interrailers which month is the best, between May and August, to do an interrail?Thank you!

Basel Badischer Bahnhof

Hello I have a NC100 with mostly the same possibilities as BC100. So at least by rumors I have heard, that I can drive to from Germany to Basel Badischer Bahnhof. In Basel Badischer Bahnhof I am geographically in Switzerland. Can I drive from Basel Badischer Bahnhof further in Switzerland with the One Country Ticket for Switzerland? If not: Are there any workarounds?

Paper ticket won't arrive in time, can we pick up in station?

We’re trying to travel from newcastle  uk to figures vilafante spain, and need to make seat reservations. We have successfully done so for eurostar, but the french connection requires sending paper tickets and there is insufficient time. We can’t have our tickets sent to a hotel in France as we’re doing the trip in one day and not staying at a hotel.Does anyone know how we can make a seat reservation and pick up from a ticket machine or station?I know we could risk it and try and make a seat reservation when we arrive at the station in France, but I want to book it in advance, and pick up the paper ticket for the reservation when we arrive.Also, we’ve tried calling SNCF and they weren’t helpful or clear about how to proceed.

Means of transport

Hi, I would like to organize a trip. But I would like to know more about transport (trains). I wanted to know if the trains are direct or have multiple stopovers. And above all, what does "8 days travel included" mean, and why can I add them or diminish them. Thanks for the reply

URGENT: Error adding Traveller's Pass Code (Paper Pass) to Interrail App

A friend and I are currently travelling through Sweden. To reserve seats in Swedish trains (which is required) interrailers must digitally reserve seats through the Interrail app. When attempting to add my paper pass to the mobile app, everything works fine until I have to fill in the Paper Pass' Pass Code. This consistrntly produces an error due to an incorrect / invalid pass code. The error: "Your Pass Code Doesn't Seem right" keeps appearing, altough I am certain that the Pass Code is correct on paper (starting with 'I', 8 digit numbers. After browsing the forums I noticed many people with a similar issue, and it tends to be a technical hiccup on Interrail's side. This is correct right?Both in person at trainstations or SJ's (Swedish Rail) website don't sell seat reservations separately. Due to this I have been stuck in Gothenburg, and it is starting to get costly :( Please help me out ASAP (providing me with a new code?), I would be more than willing to call / email concerning this

Travel Agent - booking reservations for others

I am a travel agent and working with a 3rd party travel vendor from whom my clients booked pre-pandemic. Now that we are rebooking their trip, the 3rd party is telling me that the clients have a pass purchased through them, but they can no longer make reservations for the client. Is it possible for me to book their reservations on their behalf? I see in the tutorials that once you have added a pass to your account, you cannot change it to another device. I am very worried because I added the pass to my phone in an attempt to book their reservations. The only part of the pass that will show up is for their minor daughter. As I was trying to trouble shoot, I found the information that the pass cannot be added to another device. The 3rd party travel vendor is no help. This is my first experience with booking rail in this manner. Please help.

Problem with Mobile Pass in Czech

My QR-CODE is not recognized by the scanners of conductors in Czech Republic. They are telling me it would be invalid. Some conductors are just having a look at it and ignore it, some are forcing me to buy a ticket. How to deal with this issue?

Reservations Spain and Portugal at train station

Hi all,We would like to use your help. In three weeks we will go to Spain and Portugal by Interrail. Now I read that the reservations cannot be made online or via the reservation system. If this is correct, there are a number of options left. One of these is reserving tickets at the train stations. Now I have a few questions about that:1. When we arrive in Madrid, can I immediately book the tickets there for our train journeys to Malaga and Seville?2. When we arrive in Faro, can I immediately book the tickets there for our train journeys to Lisbon and Porto?3. What are the costs for these reservations? Is this extra compared to the Interrail pass? If so, how much?We would be very helpful if you could help us with these questions. We are very curious so would like to hear from you!

Nightjet Brussels - Wien price

For the Brussels - Vienna direct connection.Is there always a discount if you book together with an Interrail pass?Because if I check a few dates on the OBB website, and look with and without an interrail pass, the price doesn't change at all.If I understand the prices correctly via the following link:  https://www.nightjet.com/nl/buchung/tarifinformationen/interrail-eurail-paesse, then I arrive at a reservation price of 14 + 144 + 20 euros = 178 euros.But I see a lot of prices of 229.90 euros for a single deluxe sleeper cabin.Who can give me more information about this?Thank you!

Can''t find connection Zurich-Prague

Hi, I am new to interrailSo I wanted to make a reservation for the nighttrain EN 50467 (Zurich-Prague). On the rail planner app I can find this train and it says that it is a direct train.  But I can’t seem to find this train on any other website, not even on the czech railway website. The only other connection I found (leaving around the same time) is one where I would have to change trains early in the morning and that would mean I would have to use 2 travel days (if I understood that right). And this connection isnt even shown ob the rail planner app so I wouldn’t be able to connect it to my mobile pass (i think).Please help:(

Reservation trainticket Paris-Barcelona

I would like to reserve the train from paris to barcelona on 19th of August. In the reservation tool I see this can only be a paper ticket. However, it is not possible for me to organise this. Is there a way to get a e-ticket? Can I for example go to the trainstation of Amsterdam tomorrow to reserve this ticket? Or is it only possible to do so when I am in Paris?@community manager - I see there are more people with this question.  Thanks a lot! :)Pomme

Reservation refund/replacement of German and French part of my journey due to a strike

Hey Guys! I was supposed to start my first day of travel from Berlin to France on Saturday. Because of the strike, I could not start my trip. Deutsche Bahn customer service told me that I can  use the old ones for the german Part of my trip and get new tickets for the route in France at the train station. But at the train station I was refused at the counter. I was told I can only use Deutsche Bahn tickets and in France I have to buy new ones. I can't reach anyone from intrail, only just now that I've found this forum. My outbound trip is blocked, I cannot book a new route from Berlin. In addition, so much time has passed now that I cannot use the global pass as planned...

Luggage storage in trains

HI! I’m gonna be starting my first interrail trip in about week and I have a question about the luggage storage possibilities in trains. I’m going to be travelling with a bigger suitcase and was wondering if there are usually some sorts of separate luggage storage spaces in trains? Also how have you managed to keep an eye on your luggage while travelling by train so that it doesn’t get stolen? Thank you for your help!
