1st class seat reservation with 2nd class pass (Eurail Spain)

We tried to buy 2nd class seat reservations from Ourense to Madrid.Instead the clerk at the station sold us 1st class and said that 2nd class was sold out.We said we only had a 2nd class pass but they just ignored us and said everything will be fine.Is that right?

Prague night train “operational restriction”

I will be travelling from Krakow to Prague on 30 Aug by IC407 overnight. I’ve bought my ticket and reservation already.. but the disembarking station is “closed”.. so does that mean I can’t get off at that station? The train company did not provide other alternative transportation… what should I do? The same is happening for my night train from Prague to Budapest, where the 2nd and 3rd station is “closed” but the train company did not provide other alternative transportation… what should I do?

Carte Avantage

Hi All,Will I be able to use the SNCF discount Carte Avantage when making bookings on SNCF trains? I am aware that my Eurail card will cover the journey but will it be worth getting a Carte Avantage to get the 30% reduction on bookings?Many thanks, John

Salzburg to Hallstatt on Eurail Pass

Hi we will be on a day trip from Salzburg to Hallstatt, but if using Eurail, the journey takes about 4.5 hours one way, it take 1 hour 20 mins transfer. I know that the most convenient way to travel to Hallstatt is by bus but since we bought the Eurail we plan to use it. May I ask is there any other way / train station which we can travel to with shorter travel time ? Thanks

Whats on in Italy on Saturday November 11, 2023?

The reason I ask is that I’m trying to make some reservations from Paris to Rome on that day. Ideally changing trains in Turin or Milan.We can get a reservation that morning as far as Turin or Milan, but train services past that seem to be nigh on unbookable.No reservations available south of these cities, and very few paid tickets of any form - nothing high speed at all.The message against the services listed is:“Prices unavailableNo price results were found. Pass holder reservations may be sold out for this connection, but there are other ways to check for available seats—more info below our timetable.”It seems to be the situation for the Saturday (11/11) and Sunday (12/11) where this is in full effect too.Tried the OBB site and they don’t have anything at all - message against all services is “Ticket Not Available”

Inbound/Outbound

Hey, I have another question regarding inbound/outbound. On one day during my trip I wanna go from Vaduz to Hallstatt. On the way there I am crossing Germany (my home country) without leaving the train. Does that already count as inbound/outbound or just when I am going to Germany and staying there for at least one night?Thank you!!

Eurail route planner adds extra travel day

When planning a trip on the Eurail website, it adds an extra travel day. I clicked London as a destination and then Paris as I want to travel from London to Paris. It says that is two travel days.

Firenze S.M.N. to Rome Airport Fiumicino

Journey from Firenze S.M.N. to Rome Airport Fuumicino on Eurail reservation site showed two journey options:Firenze S.M.N. to Roma Termini with 16 minutes to catch another train to Rome airport. However, the site shows ‘Some conditions apply’ that second class Eurail Pass holders need to buy a separate ticket to board the Rome Termini to Rome Airport train. The resevation fee for the train from Firenze S.M.N. to Roma Termini is 15 euros. Firenze S.M.N.to Roma Tiburtina with 17 minutes to catch another train to Rome Airport. The train from Roma Tiburtina to Rome Airport showed ‘You’re ready to board’. The reservation fee for the train from Firenze S.M.N.to Roma Tiburtina is 15 euros.So I understand -Firenze S.M.N. to Rome Airport Fuumicino via Roma Termini will cost 15 euros plus the price of ticket from Rome Termini to Rome Airport, whatever that is. Is that right? Firenze S.M.N. to Rome Airport Fuumicino via Roma Tiburtina witll cost 15 euros only as the train from Roma Tiburtina to

Interrail global travel day vs ÖBB day ticket

Dear all,I am having a Global Interrail pass for 5 days of travelling in one month.I reserved a seat for the ÖBB Nightjet from Zagreb to Stuttgart in the ÖBB app by choosing 'single tickets/day tickets' and selecting 'Interrail/Eurail - Globalpass' discount. On the received ÖBB ticket, the following is stated: 'Fahrschein + Reservierung'. So does this mean that this ÖBB ticket is all I need to board or do I need to use one of my travel days in the Interrail app as well?And what about a trip during the day in Slovenia (from Postojna to Ljubljana)? I can buy a single ticket and use the interrail discount in the ÖBB app for this as well. Will this save me a travel day in the Interrail app?Thank you in advance.Kind regards,Frank

Merging two trips

I have loaded a trip and I believe I have inadvertently activated my pass, although I am not leaving for 2 weeks. The trip is currently empty of journeys.I have imported the trip we have input into my partners phone. However this is now shown as a separate trip.How can I move my pass to the trip with all the individual journeys enteredOr how can I merge the two trips into oneOr how can I migrate the journeys from my partners trip into my activated trip, without having to re-input every journey. I find the app is not user friendly and is very limited in capability. Any suggestions will be gratefully received.

London to Lille

Hi there, I’m looking at the Eurostar for London to Lille on 25th May 2024. However there are only 4 trains listed for this day. Will they be adding more or is this likely to be the full timetable? (7.04, 9.01, 13.01 and 19.34). Thanks.

Eurail Pass Planning

Good morning/evening, my son(18) and I are planning a trip with flying into Amsterdam, Netherlands mid September, from Canada, and will be there for a few days. We then plan on going to Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and Frankfurt, in that order, with stays of 3-4 days at each place. I’m not sure what ‘pass’ or combination of ‘passes’ makes the most sense so we can travel from city to city and still use the local transit system in each location. Thanks for your help!

Interrail or national train apps?

Hi everyone, I’m new to Interrail so I still have a few questions. Ofcourse i’ve read the interrail user guide. This guide says that I’ll need to add my pass first. After that I need to activate my pass by choosing my first travel day. Once that’s done, I need to choose a journey and save it to my trip, then I can connect it to my pass. This is the part that I understand. I’ve been reading some different topics on the community site and I’ve read somewhere that it’s advised to use the national train app from the country I’m travelling in. But how does that work with choosing a train? For example: if i connect a journey to my pass in the interrail app and it’s a train from Naples to Rome and it leaves at 10:40 and arrives at 12:00. When and how is it advised to use the Italy train app itself? If I pick a train from the Italy train app, how will the train people (??) know I’m using the train with my interrail pass. also: I’ve seen some advices about seat reservations via another site. B

No direct trains on 9/28 Prague to Munich?

Can someone please double check my work? I’m not seeing any direct trains on 9/28 from Prague to Munich? Is it possible they are all sold out? Just seems odd to me. I know I can’t make reservations until 30 days out but it’s weird that they aren’t even showing to purchase a regular ticket.

Use of the 3 inboud/outbound days

Hi, I have just returned from an interrail trip during which I used 2 of my 3 inboud/outbound days and 6 of my 7 travel days. Do you know if it is possible to use my last travel day and my last inboud/outbound day, for example, as part of a short day trip to a neighbouring country, or is this contrary to the interrail principle, given that I have already returned home?Thank you in advance for your answers and best regards, Lucie
