Get ready to travel

I am a holder of a 1st class global pass. Unfortunately all 1st class seats are fully booked. NowI would like to book a 2nd class seat.On Eurostar trains, the system shows that reservations are available for a 2n class price. But when I click, it shows no seats available. On dates where 1st class is available, I can chose bothI guess, the system shows only options for 1st class. How can I tune that I also can book 2nd class when 1st class is not available on this train.(Yes, I know that I can sit in 2nd class with a first class ticket). I just can’t figure it out in the online reservation tool

Dans mon trajet, j'ai seulement 7 minutes pour changer de train à Zurich. Je suppose que c'est mission impossible ? Si je rate la correspondance,  quelles sont les conditions pour prendre le suivant ? Merci! 

Hi there,I will travel with my wife and have added her mobile pass to my account  on the interrail web site.I have added all trains to the journey on my mobile phone. How can I share the travel with my wife?Do I need to add her pass to my mobile phone?Should she in turn add my pass to her phone?It’s just to be on the safe side, i case one phone gets lost ...

HI folks,I purchased a couple of seat reservations on interrail web site. They are listed there on my account.Now I would like to know how to transfer them to my mobile phone.

Hi,      We are travelling from London to Paris to Ben to Zurich. I think a 7 day EURAIL pass would be sufficient as we are leaving from London to Paris on 8/19/24 and our from there going to Bern and from Bern to Zurich on 8/25/23. Does the Eurail pass work within Paris or Bern or Zurich or can this only be used for travel between these cities ? Is it better to just get a 7 day pass oe buy individual tickets from each of these cities (London to Paris, Paris to Bern and Bern to Zurich) ? Thank you!

I am planning a travel and see on OBB the night train München Hbf › Utrecht Centraal for the 16th of June. Why the same train is not present in the interrail plan your trip portal?Can I be sure the train is possible with the pass even if not present in the interrail portal?Also, how can I be sure a train is included in the pass? Thanks!Alessio

We’re trying to book a seat reservation for our trip from amsterdam to morges but we get the message “Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again later or find another connection. This connection will be removed from your cart.” We know it’s not the wifi so we’d like to know what the problem is.

I seem to recall reading about a requirement somewhere to go online every X days when using a Eurail passes.  Is this correct or am I just confused?

Hello,I would like to travel from Oslo to Bergen using a night train then go back towards Oslo while visiting the other train stops between Bergen and Oslo. I would like to do that during August and since it’s to early to book tickets, I would like to know if I need to pay a fee for a sleep cabin for a night train and seats for regular train?thank you 

Using Eurail to book Bernina Express (train PE 952) reserved seats apparently costs $15 (USD).  But booking reserves seats on the same train thru the Rhätische Bahn website  www.rhb.ch costs CHF 26 ($28.87 USD).  Is this correct??Will Rhätische Bahn (Bernina Express) honor the Eurail-booked seat reservation?

Hello everyoneI would like to book the night train from Stockholm to Berlin. The travel date is July 12th and I would like to make a reservation now as the European Championships are taking place in Berlin at the same time. However, when I try to do this via the Interrail website, I get the following error message: Prices not availableNo results were found. Reservations for this connection may be sold out for Pass holders. However, there are other ways to find available seats. You can find more information under our timetable.The sj website also says not available when booking. Am I too early with my booking or is there another problem?

Hello,I'm contacting you because I have a Global Interrail pass and I'd like to take a train journey from Athens to Patras. This journey is included in the pass, but when I book (seat reservations are compulsory), by clicking on "when and how to book", Interrail suggests that I visit these websites: superfast ferries, anek lines, hellenic seaways.Do you know on which site I can book my journey with the Interrail discount?Also, do you know when bookings will open for this route in August?Thank you

Hello,I'm looking at the routes from Athens to Kiato by train (with the interrail pass).When I add the train in the Rail Planner application, I realise that I can't book the ticket, it only says "no reservation" when I click on "show services".Does this mean that I don't need to book a ticket and simply activate it as a journey on the application?Thanks in advance

Hi I am planning to visit Sweden , Germany , Austria , and Italy in August. I was planning on buying a 5 day pass but was confused if the pass is for 5 days of my choosing or if it’s consecutive days?  Also for example if I went to two countries in one day would that be using 1 day or 2 ? 

Hi, I am Franz, living in Austria, and I am new on Interrail, planing a trip trough Europe. Pl. tell me how to send I created trip on my Smartphone to my second traveler, that she must not edit the trip again in her pass. Thanks a lot and greetings from Austria F.

Hello !Tomorrow (23/03) I planned to travel from Copenhagen to Paris. My trip planned was :7h26 Copenhagen -> Schleswig (seat reserved)10h39 Schleswig -> Hamburg (without seat)12h24 Hamburg -> Mannheim (without seat) (train ICE 77)17h38 Mannheim -> Paris (seat reserved)The problem is that, when I look at Deutsche Bahn site the train from Hamburg to Mannheim does not departure at 12h24 but 10h27 (so 2h before I arrive there...).I see that now when we want to reserve a Copenhagen -> Paris in Interrail website for tomorrow they suggest a trip that goes through Koln and not Mannheim, but I don't have a ticket for Hamburg -> Koln and Koln -> Paris. Do you know what I can do? Should I reserve the other trip and hope they will refund me the first trip?

Hi, I’m Alejandra Quintero. I bought two global passes of Interrail. Next week I start my trip.I don’t have the option to reservate the sit in the application of interrail. Do you have the same problem?? How do you reserve a place in the app?? 

My wife and I are planning to visit the UK from the US this June. We are starting in London then heading to Norwich - York - Stirling - Inverness - Bristol - and finally leaving from Paris. We’ll be spending several days at each town and will use them as hubs to explore nearby towns by rail. Will Eurail suffice or would a Britpass (with separate ticket to Paris) be a better option? The Eurail planner doesn’t seem to let me pick a few of those. Thank you in advance for any advice.

Does the pass include trains between cities within a country ? (For example: from Vienna ,Austria to salzburg, Austria ) 

This summer I will travel from Paris (Austerlitz) to Pau with SNCF’s night train. I have just read this article about the French “Intercités de Nuit”: https://www.raileurope.com/en/trains/intercites-de-nuitIt says that there is an X-ray check at the station i Paris (I assume that is the Austerlitz station) and that passengers are advised to arrive at the station at least 30 min. before departure.I can not find anything about X-ray checks at Austerlitz anywhere else than this Raileurope article. The only time I have heard about X-ray at train stations is for Eurostar trains and Spanish trains. There might also be an X-ray machine by the luggage storage, but that is another thing. Can anyone confirm or refute that there will be an X-ray check at Austerlitz station for night train departures? My issue is that I will bring a backpack wi
