No option to book seat reservations in France

I am travelling from Lucerne to Paris in late august and it requires for me to book seat reservations. However when I try to book them like I have my other reservations, it gives me no option to add to my cart. Please help! My pass is connected through the app and I have had no other issues with booking others that are essential to have.

Adding places on my trip

HelloI have a Global Pass valid for 2 months.I just read on the website something that I don’t quite understand.I wanted to activate the pass next week and I thought I could later add as many trips/connections, new places to visit afterwards depending on where I’ll be and where I want to go next.Is that possible or is it mandatory to add all the travel details from the beginning before the activation of the Pass?Thank you for your help

Which itinerary between Belgium/ Netherlands/ Germany or Austria/Hungary/Slovakia should I choose?

Hello, I’m prospecting for a travel in Europe but I am indecisive ! On the one hand, I wanted to visit Austria/Hungary and Slovakia because it is  easy to make a  reservation by train (pass) and that I want for a long time to go back to Austria and visit Hungary, and moreover because I want to see beautiful lakes. But I’m scared it is dangerous in some eastern cities and I prefer tovisit smaller typical cities, and on the second hand, I also want to visit Germany  on a larger scale than I did ( I went to Mannheim and Heidelberg) and I also want to visit Netherlands/ Belgium ( Brussels) and if possible one or many cities in Germany ( so sadly, Berlin is too far from me ):What do you think about it ? What should I do in priority ? Thank you in advance

Naples to Florence IC vs Frecciarissa options

We have global 1st class passes.Will travel Naples-Florence April 8th. Appreciate advice ( cost and duration aside) on pleasantness or other notable advantages of choosing either:Intercity 590 Train to Florence Rifredi ( slower  approx 3 hrs but cheaper seat resevations)VsFrecciarissa 9532 Train to Florence SMN ( quicker approx 5 hrs but dearer seat reservations)  We are aware there is an option to avoid seat reservations altogether but it's a bit too slow approx 7 hrs but are happy to pay to keep the duration down.Thanks in advance from anyone familiar with these trains/ options. Cheers

Budapest to Istanbul (7th June)

I’ve read a few older posts about this but thought I would get an updated view from those in the know. I wish to travel from Budapest to Istanbul but there is not route found for this trip.However, I can travel from Budapest to Sofia and then Sofia to Istanbul with changes which I am happy to do if that’s the only way.I believe there might be sleepers between Budapest and Istanbul when I travel (it would be about 7th June), but cannot find much information about them. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction, please?Many thanks.

Train travel in Greece?

Hello guys, I am currently on my interrail trip in Italy and planning to go to Greece, but we all know of the terrible train accident that happened there a couple of days ago, and the railway strikes that followed afterwards. Now I'm doubting if it's smart to go to Greece at all. I can't find much about it on Internet. Is it sensible to go there with Interrail? What are the chances of a new strike (or even a new accident?)? Is it even possible to travel from Athens to the north again by train?  Thanks in advance!

FYI - no discount anymore at Lux Express Bus in the Baltics

Hello,for our trip in April/May I tried to book the bus Talinn - Riga and Riga - Vilnius (since trains are not the most efficient way of travelling). On the partner deal page of Interrail it said  a discount of 20% is applicable + a code is given. When this code didn’t give the result, I emailed to Lux.  I got this answer: Hello!I would like to inform you that our company does not cooperate with Interrail, so unfortunately this discount is not available.Best regards,MartaLux Express Good to know for everyone.

Eurail Global Pass to numerous countries

Over a period of 10 days, my siblings and I are planning to travel this route in May/June:London → Glasgow → Edinburgh → London → Paris → Belgium → Amsterdam → Paris → LondonThe Eurail site automatically input dates for each trip (see below), but can we use the pass on any day within the month? I’m told Eurail does not operate in France.  I assume we can use the Pass on another trainline within France in order to travel to other countries.  Am I correct?

Missing places in interrail route

Hi, I want to visit some different places in Italy. Only i can find a few train stops via the routeplanner. For example, i want to go to Lucca and Assisi but the routeplanner won't give those citys as an option. How can I travel to those places, if the interrail planner won't let me add those to the route? Edit: I want to use the global pass with unlimited days to use the train

Travelling with an 11 year old autistic child

I am travelling from Australia in mid April with my 11 year old autistic son. We are travelling for 16 weeks through 11 countries starting in France. We wish to do a number of train journeys within each country not really big cities. We are visiting France, Spain, Morocco, portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Austria, Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, UK and Malta in that order.I have used the Traineline App and costed out just the main country journeys which exceeds theGlobal Pass however I'm struggling to work out the reservation cost associated with each eurail pass to see which is the best option. Our country dates are fixed but we have flexibility within each country so want to know if we can also use a Global pass to travel from say Porto to Lisbon as an example.Sorry for long question but the challenges are great for this journey.Thank you

Novata viaje verano 2023 Valencia-Paris_Estrasburgo_Luzern_Interlaken_zurich

Hola!Soy novata aquí. Tenemos mucha ilusión de hacer este viaje con nuestra hija este verano. Tenemos entre 10-15 días disponibles. Hemos pensado un Global Pass de 7 días. Os adjunto nuestra planificación:Salimos desde Valencia 30 o 31 Julio. Llegada a Paris. Primer problema: no encontramos trenes vía Barcelona. Ir vía Madrid supone más horas de viaje, no tiene sentido. Queremos llegar a Paris a media tarde. Podríamos ir a Barcelona el día 30/07 y salir el lunes 31/07 Barcelona 10:33h  – Paris 17:18h. La reserva de asientos entiendo que debo hacerla a través de TGV. 4 noches en Paris.El billete Valencia Barcelona estaría dentro del Pass, o tengo que comprarlo aparte? Estaremos 4 noches en Paris.Siguiente parada del viaje, salida el Viernes 4 agosto. París - ESTRASBURGO. De 10:05h a 12:41h. Estaremos 1 noche.Al día siguiente, sábado 5 agosto, continuamos aventura: Estrasburgo-Lucerna. De 11:51h a 15:05h. Una noche, es sin reserva, con añadir el viaje al Pass, podemos subir al tren?Despu

UK airport trains: incorrect information

The otherwise helpful information re rail (and tram/bus) links between cities and airports claims for access to/from London’s #1 airport at Heathrow that Elizabeth Line trains do not operate on Sundays.This is no longer correct.  Thankfully (unless staff are on strike or there’s trackwork or an unplanned disruption) it’s become a seven day a week rail route.

Hiking in Norway

Hey,I'm currently planning an interrail trip in Scandinavia in March and I'd really like to go doing some hiking in Norway. Is there someone experienced with hiking in Norway, especially during winter-season (March). It would be perfect if the hiking spots could be reached by public transport and if a hostel would be near them.  Thanks y'all for your help in advance! :)Lasse

1 night stopover between Milan and Naples

I am travelling from Milan to Naples and need to arrive at Naples airport by 11am therefore I am going to stop en route for 1 night. Where would be a good place to stop where it is relatively easy to get from train station to main part of town/city. Would like a picturesque stop so that I can spend the afternoon/evening soaking up the atmosphere so it is not a wasted stop.

Turkey + Greece

Hi all,I’ve sorted most of my trip down to Istanbul in April, but now planning the return. My idea is to head south to Izmir and Bodrum, then catch some ferries across to the islands and to Athens. It seems my global pass will be pretty redundant for this part (presumably until I get to Italy / out of Greece), unless I can use it for some ferry discounts…?My main question is, does anyone have any experience around this area and around this time, in terms of booking buses or ferries ahead (if that’s even possible), or is it chill to do it a couple of days before usually?I will probably come back after Greece via Sicily/Italy by train in case anyone has been that way and wants to share some inspiration or tips :)Many thanks in advance, as always.Paul
