Hi!My friend and I are travelling through Czech Republic, Poland, Austria, Hungary, Croatia and Germany with a Global Pass from 19th July until the 9th of August. We can’t seem to figure out how we are supposed to book our trains. We’re afraid that all the trains are already full. Is it necessary to book our train in advance or can we just wing it and make a reservation on the spot?  Thanks in advance!!

Hello :) I have the problem on July, 20.2024 to July, 21.2024 that the NJ from Munich to La Spezia is not in the Rail Planner App. But the ÖBB Night jet Website says that the train is driving normally without any problems and the interrail Pass is included, just paying 9.90€ for the ride. What do I have to do? I only know and the Nightjet Website says only that the Nightjet to Rome is not driving until September. Thank you :)

I am dreaming that we got a global pass and were able to see Portugal, Lisbon, Rome, Naples, Scotland, Ireland, and London within 20 days. Is the dream real?

I bought a “15-day EURAIL pass”, but it is not possible to reserve only seats from Barcelona to Lauterbrunnen via the EURAIL app/website. Where can I make this seat reservation for August 1st? Thanks for any information! 

Hi, will be using a Global pass and just read when making seat reservations  for train travel in Germany even an e-resevation has to be printed and carried with you. As I don't  have access to a printer what do I do.Thanks in advance for any comments

Hello Interrailers!I am looking at traveling from Lake Balaton (HU) down to Split on Friday June 7th.(There was an excellent connection via Celje in Slovenia but ÖBB has suddenly cut the Celje-Split service down to Wednesdays only, from 3 times a week).Now, we can join up with the train from Budapest [IC 204] which arrives in Zagreb Glavny at 21:59.The night train from Zagreb Glavny to Split [NT 1821] leaves 31 minutes later, at 22:30.According to Zugfinder, the IC 204 has been on time every day for the last month.Whaddya reckon? Has anyone attempted that connection? Successfuly or unsuccessfully?If we miss it, we’re good for finding a place to sleep at almost eleven at night… and leaving either at 7 am (yuk) or in the arvo and hitting Split late in the evening. We’ll be stopping in Zag anyway on the way back up, so we can happily give Zagreb by night a miss.Chance it?Love to hear if anyone has experience of this, good o

I’ll be in Karlovo for 3 days, then arrive in Plovdiv and plan to take sleeper to Istanbul on same day.Can I make Plovdiv-Istanbul reservation from Karlovo? Can I make Plovdiv-Istanbul reservation on the day in early August, or will it be fully booked? Can I just get on the train in Plovdiv on a seat, get to Dimitrovgrad and then try and find a spare couchette before the rest of the train gets cut? Or are there no seats in the first place?

What does it mean "not in the pass network"? I guess I cannot use the pass. I just want to confirm it.

Hi all how can I reserve 2 seats from San Sebastián to Madrid on 27 July 24?we have 3 mth first class global pass tried using Eurail app but can’t reserve seats thanks jon  

We have a Scandinavian mobile flexi pass. On one travel day we will be travelling from Åndalsnes to Lillestrøm and we are contemplating popping into Oslo and back, a 10 minute trip. These trains are operated by Vy. Is the pass valid for Lillestrøm-Oslo-Lillestrøm journeys?  If so, with trains running every 10 minutes, do we need to add the specific train to each journey, there and back?  One hopes that our data on the phone will still be valid...

hi! does anyone know what are some of the hotels or other accommodation that have discounts for those who have gained the global pass?

Hello, I have some troubles finding easily night trains with Rail Planner app. When I check for only night trains it doesn’t show the ones that exist.

Folks have a bit of a dilemma and , finding no real info , so I'm hoping someone can tell me..... We are Irish Citizens ,So not the Own country rule....So We have interrail passes , now let's say We go from Florence to Rome and need to return to Florence that evening....so a day trip, then the next day , let's say go from Florence to Venice ,and return back that evening.....With Florence as a possible base.....is this allowed or classified as commuting, even tho not actually commuting....??? I have seen posts online, where people were Told by train conductor this was not allowed and invalid as can't do return.....the posts seem to be a good few years old , Now I was thinking, Maybe book as singles , so using examples above, but making individual seat reservations for outbound and inbound....I hope I'm making Sense....OR DO WE NEED TO WORK IN A LOOP FORMAT, Only using any given city once , which tbh will be a logisical nightmare.....not ness those actual destinations, just using as a

Hi, I have a 10 day in 2 months flexipass 29th May to 28th July 2024. I have used 5 days and have returned home intending to use the other 5 travel days before 28th July. I note that when showing ticket on the App it says “This ticket is expired”. How can this be? My partner’s ticket has the same thing. We have both been online on our phones regularly so that shouldn’t be the problem. We need to know whether this will right itself when we intend using our remaining 5 days. Can you help?

Hi! So my girlfriend and I are this summer traveling to the north of Europe. Therefore we have to get on the trains from Oslo to Göteborg (with train from vy) and Göteborg to Kopenhagen (with train from öresundstrag). Now my question is, if anybody has experience with a seat reservation for those trains and generally up there? I have already tried to book seats on every homepage, also on Entur.com but it is not possible. I also called them, but they said that is should be possible. Is there any solution for this problem? Our fear is, that the trains are full and that we do not get the next trains then. Are the trains in summer full up there or can we be relaxed because we will get seats anyways? Thank you very much in advance for your answers and help! Yours, Samuel  

Hi I have been looking for the direct train from Spiez to Milan for late July date. Was looking at train availability for a few weeks and noticed direct trains (2h38min) are only available up to Jun 8 and it seems that no direct trains are added after that date despite daily checking. Any change such that there’s no more direct trains ? 

Hi everybody! I’m traveling with my girlfriend this August and we are planning to visit France, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland and Italy. We already have a detailed day schedule for each train we need to take (20 day trip) and our option is the global pass for 10 day flexible. Reading about the Interrail global pass, we understand that for train requering seat reservation we have to pay a fee and we are totally aware and clear, but we are a little confused about the trains that don’t require reservation. After we buy the global pass, is it possible to reserve or book seats for trains with “seat reservation not required” to ensure the travel for date and hour that we need? I have searched for details about this but it´s not clear; it says that with the global pass we can get in to the train, but what happen if the train is sold out or full? Our concern is that if we miss a train will affect the rest of our schedule for that day, so that´s why we would like to previou

Hi.On the 28th of August me and my girlfriend are travelling from Lyon to Bologna. We wanted to take the train to domodossala, we then wanted to take the replacement bus EC057 to Milan and then the train to Bologna. When I looked online only on trenitalia I could book a ticket for 13 euros, but I could not select the interrail pass. Should I just pay for the ticket or is there another way to get a reservation for the bus?Greetings,Per

Hi Eurail Angels: I’m doing research for future (no date set yet) travel on the Bernina Express. Travel direction not decided yet. I know it’s either Tirano to Chur or Chur to Tirano. Question 1: I read on Seat61 page that you can try to book cheaper, legitimate ticket on German Railways (Deutsche Bahn) site. I wanted to know if I buy such ticket, do I still need a seat reservatoin?I understand that if I want to sit in the seats in the Allegra unit (that’s hauling the Bernina Express) then I don’t need seat reservation. Question 2: If I want to purchase seats in the Allegra unit (as mentioned above), do I use https://www.sbb.ch/ to
