Do I need to use a travel day on the Fjord Line?

Hi there! This summer I’m going to Norway and I’ve used the interrail discount to book a ferry between Stavanger and Bergen. It states that I should show both my interrail pass and my booking when boarding the ship, but I find it unclear as to whether I should fill in a travel day for this journey or if simply showing the pass is sufficient.Thanks in advance!

Seat Reservations

I am planning to book Eurail passes for my family of 5 (2 Adults, 2 Youth, 1 Child). We are planning to book 1st Class Eurail passes. I understand that some trains in our itinerary require seat reservations and I have a few questions:If I have booked 1st Class Eurail passes for every traveler in my family, will I still be required to reserve seats on the trains that say a reservation is required? When seat reservations are required, am I required to pay the 1st Class seat reservation fee (which is higher than the 2nd Class seat reservation fee) even though I will already have a 1st Class Eurail pass? For the trains that do not require seat reservations, if I do not reserve seats am I still likely to find 5 seats together in 1st Class so I can feel confident my family can sit together in 1st Class even if we don’t have seat reservations?

Adjusting trip dates/cities after I connect my pass to it

Hello,I purchased a 7-day Global Pass for 4 people, so have 4 pass numbers and added a trip with multiple cities and dates (below).  If I connect the trip to my pass and later need to change dates and cities, can I do that w/out disconnecting pass from a trip? Is it just a matter of removing one journey and adding another?If I’m not sure which city I want to visit -- do I add both journeys to a trip and then delete one? Thank you!Kirill June 30  Prague > BerlinJuly 4 Berlin > Nuremberg and Nuremberg > Munich (time of second leg might change)July 7 Munich > ZurichJuly 9 (might need to change to 10) Zurich > Basel (might need to change to Lucerne)July 12 Zurich > ViennaJuly 14 Vienna > Prague

Can Railplanner be trusted?

We are going from the small town of Habo to Hamburg Hbf 22/4; I type this into the app and get the following suggestions:06:43-17:03If I add "no reservation required" and then get the following:05:31-17:03Here the app suggests changing in Jönköping, but I know that the train goes all the way to Nässjö and therefore divide my search into parts and get the following:Habo - Nässjö 05:31-06:17Nässjö - Alvesta 06:26-07:18Alvesta - Copenhagen 07:23-09:39Copenhagen - Hamburg 09:57-15:00Result; 2 hours earlier in Hamburg.I have set the minimum change time to 1 minute.Why don't the app provide information about the fastest possible journey?//Robert PS: Similar results with DB Navigator and ÖBB

Complimentary Pass

I have a client who uses a wheelchair, and he is requesting a complimentary pass for his caregiver (his wife). If I arrange the Eurail pass through a third-party merchant like Rail Europe, can my client obtain the complimentary pass directly from Eurail?

The price is €99 per passenger as shown in screenshot below:  Obviously I'm missing something very simple here but can't figure it out! Can someone point me to it? Thanks in advance...

Noord Spanje

Ik ben door Nederland, België en Frankrijk met de interrailpas naar Hendaye (grensovergang naar Spanje) gereisd. Dat gaat allemaal prima. Met Euskatren de grens over naar San Sebastian (niet mogelijk met interrail).Ik wilde graag naar Santander en Picos de Europa, maar in Noord Spanje heb je niets aan een interrailpas. De Euskatren van San Sebastian naar Bilbao is dus niet mogelijk. Het is een prima treintje voor €6,50.Van Bilbao rijd er een boemeltje naar Santander van Renfe (toch de nationale treinmaatschappij?), maar die is niet te vinden in de interrailapp. De trein doet er 3 uur over, een hele mooie rit voor €8,50.Je kan in de interrailapp wel omreizen (heel erg om reizen), maar vrijwel alle treinen in Spanje moet je reserveren. Meestal zijn er voor interrail geen plaatsen beschikbaar. Of de reserveringsite van interrail werkt helemaal niet. Als je de browsergegevens verwijderd bied dat vaak nog wel een oplossing

UK and Ireland Transportation Method

Hello from the USA!  3 of us are traveling to the UK and Ireland in June for 17 days. Wondering what others think the best means of transportation for the entire trip would be? It looks like one of the variations of the Eurorail pass might be best but I’m having a hard time understanding the speed trains and if that’s a thing inside of one country - or do they only go across borders? I don’t want to spend so much time on the trains! Also - will the Eurorail pass take us from England over to Ireland? Thank you so much to all!

Eurail rail planner app malfunctioning

The app suddenly stopped showing travel days. Tried reinstalling but didn’t work. Tried deleting and readding trips and now trips will not add to pass.This means I do not have access to code to scan to prove I have a pass.All booking still show on website.

Seats on the Intercité de nuit

Hi! Recently, I was looking into seats on the Intercité de Nuit between Paris Austerlitz and Toulouse Matabiau. The three possibilities (2x 2nd class, 1x 1st class) both just say ‘TARIF EURAIL INTERRAIL’. Does anyone know what kind of seats you actually get with these options? For example, would the 1st class option be a 4-person couchette, or should I think more in the direction of 2-1 seating plan? Many thanks!

Error and Price Increase When Booking Nightjet OBB from Budapest to Berlin for August 2025

Hi everyone,I'm seeking assistance with an issue I've been experiencing while trying to book four tickets on the Nightjet (EuroNight) train from Budapest to Berlin for August 5, 2025. Each time I attempt to purchase the tickets and click on the "Pay" button, I encounter the following error message before even entering my credit card details:"This option is no longer valid. (NJ-Code: NJ-01, TS-Code: WBS19230, Public ID: c76596267a8e4469a657b5ccb1f6798d, Support ID: NIGHT1_53po52eo)"​Moreover, with each failed attempt, the ticket price increases significantly. Initially, the fare was €64 per ticket, but it has now escalated to over €130 per ticket, and I'm still unable to complete the purchase.​I have also attempted to book tickets for August 4, 2025, but encountered the same issue. When selecting the credit card payment option, the error occurs before I can enter my payment details, and the ticket prices increase. I tried purchasing through other websites; although the payment was initi

Interrail 1st class vs 2en class

Hello community,what are your experiences with Interrail in 1st class? What are the pros and cons of 1st class versus 2nd class? We're traveling to Denmark. Maybe on to Norway. Is it true that seat reservations are included with a 1st class Interrail Global Pass in Denmark? We're traveling as a family with three teenagers. This will be our first train journey.thanks for sharing your experiences

Family in a Ladies only Couchette? (OBB)

Hi, I’m getting conflicting information from OBB so would really appreciate some advice.We are a family of 4 (mother, father + 2 boys (12, 8)) and would like to travel on the nightjet from Brussels to Salzburg.  It’s a popular route and it appears there is only a 4 person ‘Ladies only” couchette available. I’ve spoken to OBB twice; one adviser said we would have to be split up (at great expense) but another said as we were occupying the whole couchette it wouldn’t be a problem.Can anyone advise if the whole carriage is “Ladies only”?  If not, it seems strange that this would be a problem given we would be the only occupants of the 4 person couchette? ThanksDamian

OBB seat reservations

Hello, I’m planning on going interrailing this summer, and I purchased all seat reservations via OBB. However, I did not realize I could add the interrail discount, so I booked all seat reservations via seat reservations only. I read that adding the discount would ensure that possible supplements are purchased as well, but I don’t think any of the trains I am planning on taking require a supplement. Some trains (Deventer-Hannover, Ljubljana-Budapest, and Vienna-Arnhem) do indicate that seat reservations are required. Does it matter that I purchased the seat reservations this way? Would I be fined if I did not indicate that I have an interrail pass? Thanks in advance!!

Some basic questions

Hi, we're trying to book reservations from London to Rome in August. It doesn't seem possible yet to book Paris-Milan or Paris-Turin, so what will we do if we book Eurostar but then can't travel on without having to visit every town in Switzerland? Also, how do we make reservations for different days, eg travel to Turin on the 2nd then to Rome on the 3rd? Finally, what does activating the pass mean, do we only do that just before we travel? We have tried hard to work out these things on the app and website, but just can't find the answers. Thanks!
