Get ready to travel

G'Day !     Just ordered a paper pass.  I note that delivery is estimated at 2 weeks.  Is there any way to generate a pass cover number for a paper pass?  I'd like to make reservations as soon as possible, because the route is popular (Brussels-London via Eurostar).I'm asking because 2 years ago I had a pass, and got the following error when trying to purchase reservations on this route:  Eurail B.V. is not listed on the Issuer drop down list. I selected DISCOVEREU TRAVEL PASS (CIV 9901)  Pass Cover Number returns an error. PASS COVER NUMBER DOESN’T LOOK RIGHTBut I don't remember the solution, as this was about 2 years ago.  Someone told me to use a different number and ignore the cover number on the jacket  I apologise for my confusion.Thank you kindly !     

Hello again.Could you please help what is pass cover code ? I am trying Pass reference code which i got while purchasing pass, but its not taking. I want to avail 10% discount on Disneylands ticket. Please help.TIA

Hi Everyone,I shall be travelling for the first time to Europe for work purposes and extended a bit for some personal travel. So I start on the 18th May 2024 morning from Geneva going to Paris. 2 nights stay in Paris and then I move to Lucern sometime around noon on the 20th of May3 nights in Lucern and then to Venice on 23rd Morning. 2 nights in Venice & then I fly backI am seeking guidance on the below :Should I opt for 4 day Eurail pass or 5 day pass ?When I book on the Eurail page, I start from Geneva. However the website shows my reservation as 1-night in Geneva & 1 night in Paris. Whereas I shall actually be staying for 2 nights in Paris ? If i activate my pass on 18th May morning, should I consider that 1-day pass will end at 23:59 hrs same day ? For local travel/sightseeing in Paris,Lucern & Venice can I use the Eurail pass in public transport ? A

Seat Reservation’s in Romania. Is it easy to book seat reservation’s for mobile pass holders at train stations in Romania?

We want to travel from Rotterdam to Bucharest, starting on July 15. Two adults and a child of 7 years old. We would like to take at least 1 nighttrain. We can travel via Berlin or via Vienna, both seem fine. However, anyway we look, we can only seem to make seat reservations in nighttrains. Both here on interrail, as for example with Deutsche Bahn or OBB. We really want to be able to sleep in these nightyets. That was part of the reason why we want to travel by train. We already checked: 

I am now trying to make reservations on 2 AVI trains and doing this from Montpellier in France :-  First train (AVI 9730) from Montpellier in France to Madrid- Second train /AVI4175) from Madrid to Santiago de CompostelaI have just been to the train station in Montpellier and expecting to be able to make the reservation here for at least the first of the 2 trains. However the answer was ‘no’ in the ticket office there suggesting me that I go to the RENFE website and make the reservation there. When doing that, I am also being told that this will not be possible and suggest that I go to the train station on the day& time of my preferred train and here try to find out with the train personnel, if any seats are still  or not, and if not take a train not having seat reservation requirements to as big station inside Spain, and then do the seat reservation(s) from these. My question is : Isn’t there another way to make such seat reservation on these AVI trains mor

I heard that the Brienz Lake boat tour from Interlaken is also covered in the Interrail pass. Do I need to reserve a seat/book? Is it usually in full capacity on summer? I’m thinking of taking the boat around 4 pm 

I’ve been trying to book something in France for the better part of a week and I keep getting the notification on the top of the page that it’s not working. What's an alternative way to make French train reservations with a US credit card? It says 'Prices temporarily unavailable. Check back in a few hours to see prices and book this seat reservation.' And it has for a while now. But when you go to the alternative options it offers you, you get this:'Others ways to book this seat reservationBook in person at a main station in Europe Book online at travel.b-europe.com Reservations for domestic trains by phone through "Ligne Directe" 36 35. Call centre does not accept US Visa and Master Cards credit cards'When I tried the site

I will be going to Switzerland in the summer (might re-visit for winter again), hence for this trip, I am really interested in the Brienz Rothorn Bahn as I think going on winter won’t have the same scenery.  But it’s pretty pricey (return trip is 96 CHF, is it not covered by interrail, not even a discount?), is it really worth it? The cable car to the top of Zermatt is almost similar price even. Any suggestion or maybe there are other more affordable steam trains for interrail holders? Addition: is it possible to get one way up, then hike down? or would that be too much of a hike Thank you!

Hi there! I need recommendation on which panoramic train/(s) to choose from in Switzerland as eurail holders (travelling at 23-26 July): here is our rough planned itinerary for now (the one colored blue are the one we’re going to activate our eurail passes)The one trip i am most indecisive with panoramic train i think would be our last trip from interlaken to Venezia Mestre. I’m considering this routes:Interlaken - Lucerne (Zentralbahn) reservation optional, 16 euro  then followed by Lucerne > Bellinzona > Milan Central > Venezia Mestre St. Moritz - Tirano (Bernina Express) reservation 33 euro then followed by Tirano - Colico > Milan Central > Venezia Mestre  my questions are:I heard the Zentralbahn route is also really nice with the La

Hi, I will be travelling between my country of residence (UK) and the EU 3 times during 1.5 months and wondering if there is some option that allows multiple entry-exits from one’s country of residence? I had considered getting a Eurail pass, but don’t think I’ll be allowed to long-term.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

From Melbourne, Australia, I am travelling mid June 2023 from Roma Fiumicino Airport train station (as staying near there) to Castiglion Fiorentico (via Roma Tiburtina is the way I am advised)Eurail website https://www.eurail.com/en/help/interested-in-eurailing/which-trains-are-included-in-the-pass states that Trenetalia Italian trains ARE included under Eurail Pass.The Roma Fiumicino Airport rail stn to Roma Tiburtina leg of trip seems not covered and not managed by Trenetalia.But Trenetalia operate Roma Tiburtina to Castiglion Fiorentico (per their website https://www.lefrecce.it/Channels.Website.WEB/#/search-results?handoff=true&am

Hello everyone, I am travelling to the UK for the first time and also making use of the eurail global mobile pass for the first time and would like to know how to add the exact train that I have booked seat reservation on, to my trips in my mobile pass. From what I can see, the mobile pass only shows you timings of the trains between two places and there is no information such as train number etc. written anywhere on the railplanner app. I have booked my seat reservation from Edinburgh to London on LNER website by matching the timetable on the rail planner app to that of the LNER website. How do I ensure that my seat reservations are on the exact train that I have added to my pass?

Hello everyone, I am receiving a warning that I need to add some locations manually in the Rail Planner application for the mobile pass. Not being able to see the train services in the application worries me. Could you please share your experiences with me about this issue and traveling to the Baltic countries. Thank you in advance, I wish you a pleasant trip.

Hello,  Last year I could easily reserve a seat for trains in Poland via the Interrail website. Now I can't do anything at all. does anyone have any tips?

Hi,I am traveling to Germany and Switzerland. I am going to Dusseldorf to Cologne, Freiburg, Poschiavo, Tirano and Zurich. I am planning to get a Global Pass 1st class. Is it worth getting 1st class and is it worth purchasing the plus (refundable) for the pass? If I miss a connection while traveling can I get a different train to my destination as long as it is within the one travel day? I’m a bit nervous traveling on my own for the first time and not sure if I’ll make all the trains I need. Thank you!Y

Heyy!In augustus im going on my first solo trip. To Dresden, Prague, Vienna and Düsseldorf. Are there any apps that are good to have? Or places i should avoid or go to? Thankssss! :))

Hello everyone.I am planning to travel to Sweden with my friend on an Interrail ticket. Can anyone tell me whether it is possible to book seats in advance without first entering the journey in the Mobile Pass? The background to this is that we don't know whether we will be able to make the journey, we will only find out a few days beforehand. It would therefore make sense to enter the journey when we start our trip. If necessary, we can then postpone the trip.Thank you for help.GreetingsStefan

Hi,I need to book two sleeper compartments on the obb nightjet from Genoa to Munich on October 24th. I've been checking the nightjet website regularly to book as soon as they become available. I was able to book another nightjet connection for 29th September a while back, but the 30th September is the latest date available. I'm wondering if anyone has any info on when the bookings for October might become available or if the night train from Italy to Munich will be running normally in October?

Dear Community,i would love to travel more by train. I would like to  travel by train to France for a Qi Gong retreat. I found a connections from Hamburg to Mannheim to Lyon. I will only reach Lyon by 8pm and I am a bit worried with the usual delay / cancellation situation from DB if I will really reach 😅 I couldn’t find a good earlier connection. Or even a night connection. I could start 17.07.24 10pm And I have to reach francheville (near Lyon ) 18.07.24 in the evening. please let me know if you have any recommendations / Insights 🙏 thank you for your help.Maximiliane    

I have already purchased my EU rail pass and also reserved seats for the routes I will be travelling on through the EU rail website. I have downloaded the Rail planner app and added my travel pass on that. Is there a way I can link my e-tickets for the seat reservations with my pass? If not, what is the use of the app if I have to download and print out e-tickets to show to the ticket inspector?
