Its even more magic: even if you wanted it you can now only buy a junior pass-thats how its all programmed. IF you would want to use promotion for a pass to use later as normal adult, it would not be possible-nor would someone be able to who turns 60 later in the yr This is not correct. While it seems indeed that a bug prevents 59 year olds to purchase senior passes (even if they only intend to activate them when they turn 60), that error does not occur for 27 year olds trying to buy adult passes. You can chose whether you buy a youth pass (activate at the latest December 10th - noting passes bought during this sale can only be activated until 11 months from now) or an adult pass.
I see the following routes:Barcelona-Paris. Easily doable in 1 day, two daily TGV's take 6h40 (require expensive reservation, €35). Paris-Amsterdam: Also easily doable, numerous Thalys trains take 3h30 (also require expensive reservation, €30. These are limitedly available, check on https://www.b-europe.com/NL/Kopen/Pass if they are still available). Amsterdam-Copenhagen: tight in one day, but possible. About 11-12 hrs, reservations for the Hamburg-Copenhagen train are compulsory in Summer. Copenhagen-Vienna: Possible with day trains, though it might be a bit tight: Easily possible with just one travel day if you connect onto the NightJet sleeper in Hamburg. Sleeper spaces sell out, so be sure to check whether they are still available. You only need to use a travel day on the day of departure (if it leaves before midnight CET), but you can remain on the train until Vienna. Vienna-Budapest: Easy, many trains a day Budapest-Split: Not sure whether this is possible in 1 day, it seems you
For mobile passes, you can activate the pass whenever you want in the next 11 months, so July/August should be perfectly fine. Then you can freely chose the travel days within the timeframe after activation (1 month for the 7 day flexi pass). For paper passes you chose the activation date when purchasing (or possibly you have to activate them later, I’m not sure)You are indeed doing 7 trips, so 7 travel days within 1 month is enough. Note these travel days should be within 31 days (when activating the pass in July). If your children are under 12, you can order free passes for them too together with your own.Most of the journeys you mention are however relatively short regional train rides, so you might be cheaper off with buying full tickets. For example, all these tickets can be bought until shortly before departure from Trenitalia ticket machines or their own website:Savona-Genova: €4,90 Genova-La Spezia: € 8,40 (RE)/€9.30 (RV) La Spezia-Forte Marni: €6 Forte Marni-Pisa: € 4,80There
I had the same issue two weeks ago. The workaround that worked was starting over in a private navigation browser window (or alternatively deleting your cookies). I think it happened after going back to a page, but I'm not entirely sure.
"You can use a Youth Pass if you're aged 12 to 27 on your first travel day." So even if your first travel day is - in your case - the 10th of December you could use a youth pass.
If I understand it correctly the issue is you're trying to create a new trip, instead of adding a new journey to the trip which is already connected to your pass.Every pass can only be connected to a single trip: a trip is valid for as long as your pass is valid (1-3 months). Instead, go to the trip you created for the first journey and tick on the + sign in the bottom right corner and then on "add a journey". You can also do this from the planner. From within the trip you can activate further travel days.
No solution for the following routes: - February 13: Copenhagen -> Goteborg (initially present in the search engine for departure at 9:27 am and arrival at 1:20 pm) No possibility either through the website of the train company: www.sj.se - February 15: Oslo -> Bodo (initially present in the search engine for departure 14h02 and arrival 9h05 the next day I see all these trains in the interrail app and respectively on SJ.se and VY.no. The trip you mention on the 15th is actually composed of two trains:14:02 Oslo - 20:53 Trondheim + 23:05 Trondheim - 09:05 BodøBoth with compulsory reservation, both appearing in the interrail and on vy.no. If SNCF doesn't sell reservations, there are instructions on reserving through Entur by phone here: https://www.interrail.eu/en/plan-your-trip/tips-and-tricks/trains-europe/trains-country/trains-norway As VY.no still offers these trains on their website they should be available.If looking from Oslo to Bodø, you should see a 16:02 departure.

HOLA VIAJEROS AYUDENME A RESERVAR ASIENTOS, ESTOY TOTALMENTE PERDIDO RESPECTO A COMO HACER ESTO DEBIDO A QUE EN LA PAGINA EURAIL ME DICE QUE NO LO PUEDO RESERVAR POR AHI, ENTONCES NO SE SI LO ESTOY HACIENDO DEMASIADO PRONTO, VIAJO EN MAYO 1 MAYO : MADRID - BARCELONA Trenes domésticos españoles son bastante complicados de reservar, puesto que solo se pueden reservar en taquillas en España o en algunos otros sitios europeos. Si ya estás en España puedes hacerlas en taquillas de Renfe. Si conoces a gente en España puede que ellos puedan hacer la reserva por ti. En todo caso, no se puede hacer por internet. Hay agentes de viajes que ofrecen hacer las reservas, pero conllevan gastos adicionales.Desafortunadamente, esto es lejos de ideal. Como alternativa, puede interesarte comprar un billete entero para este viaje, sin usar tu pase Eurail para este trayecto: Hay algunos trenes de Renfe (el de las 14:30 y el de las 20:40) que comprándolos ahora con anticipación salen por €17.05, mientras qu
Hi there, I ask this question in regards to the cancellation and refund policy. I have read that refunds are different for eurail passes when they are promotional, however, I would like to know if a SALE (ie the winter sale) degrades the standard pass to a promotional pass, and then promotional pass refund rules would apply. The key is refunds and exchanges can be different for promotional passes (passes sold during sales), but it does not necessarily mean they are always different. It will be explicitly mentioned in the sale conditions whether there is a deviation from the general refund & exchange conditions.In this specific sale there is no such deviation:“Promotional Interrail Passes purchased between 22 December 2022 and 5 January 2023 (inclusive) are refundable and exchangeable.“It was the case with the Black Friday sale and with the May 50 anniversary sale: there the additional terms of the sale mentioned these passes were non-refundable.The additional conditions of the Bla
This winter sale passes are explicitly exchangable and refundable, under the normal conditions: 85% refundable, exchangable for a €15 fee. With Plus it's about 87%-97% refundable, depending on how much your pass cost, as the Plus fee is not refunded.
These are the prices offered by the Interrail booking engine, when looking for 1 person. There might be cheaper ways, I don't know for this train from the top of my head.
Deal all.. thank you so much for your help. I didn't realise that the searches in the Eurail reservations page had the 'no reservations' filter activated. I was able to book the whole journey from Barcelona to Milan on the website. Thanks again! Natalia and Thomas Great! Have a nice trip. Both connections are pretty tight, so let us know how it goes.One thing I forgot to mention that probably isn't very relevant for you but might be for others finding this post: There is a Trenitalia train from Chambéry at 18:49 (arr. Milano Cle 22:07) which allows for a bit more margin. While this train is not covered by Interrail, full tickets for this train are sometimes fairly cheap when booking ahead: on the 11th of January for instance €23 - cheaper than the €30 Interrail reservation fee of the TGV. On the 10th the Trenitalia train costs €45, so I would rely on SNCF offering you alternatives if the connections should fail.
For Spain, realtime information is best found in the Adif app, for trains leaving within the next 24 hours. It’s not great and the information isn’t always very accurate (some trains for mysterious reasons don’t appear, Cercanías timetables don’t show delays but just realtime update the timetables and and information on platform numbers is sometimes incredibly wrong), but it’s the best we’ve got.
When will you travel? 10th January :/ Quite late for the International TGV´s Spain - France + France - Italy (as these have just limited seats) The interrail portal seems to still offer both these trains for the 10th of January. Should be the same for Eurail; have you checked eurail.com/book-reservations?Calling SNCF would allow you to save €2 per reservation, so €53 for this instead of €57, but international calls are generally not cheap.If I’m not mistaken, pass fares on the two Paris-Barcelona TGV’s are no longer restricted to quotas. Still only two daily trains so they can indeed sell out, but as far as I’ve seen there are always passholder reservations available whenever there are seats available.
Una duda más , por ejemplo yo desde Barcelona a Paris tengo planificado viajar el 5 de mayo , con requerimientos de reserva. El tren que me sale ahí es TGV 9704, así que lo busque por la página de reserva y me sale 118 euros. Asi es como funciona el pase , no asegura el asiento , ante esto igual hay que comprar el pasaje en tren y desembolsarme esos euros , lo mismo con el de Paris a Londres , el pasaje del tren me sale cerca de 70 euros En el portal de reservas propio de Eurail/Interrail el TGV Barcelona-París te debería salir a €37 por persona (€35 reservando, por teléfono, directamente con los ferrocarriles Franceses SNCF). Estos trenes tienen reserva obligatoria. Sin reserva no se te dejará subir a él en Barcelona, y mejor sacar la reserva con tiempo porque el tren se puede llenar. Puedes reservar este tren para asegurarte de una plaza, puesto que las reservas del TGV Barcelona-París son reembolsables (excluyendo los €2 por plaza de gastos de gestión).Hay formas de realizar est
Be aware it might be cheaper - if you have not yet activated your pass - to exchange your Eurail pass to a 1st class pass. Check the conditions of your purchased pass.
I booked passholder reservations on the ICN to Sicily through Deutsche Bahn last year. Either on the phone (collect from any DB ticket machine, for instance in Konstanz) or at a major “DB Reisezentrum”.
@Jamie Wach @Schelte @Al_G @mcadv Here is information about how to make an upgrade from 2nd to 1st class in Switzerland. https://www.sbb.ch/en/travelcards-and-tickets/tickets-for-switzerland/class-upgrades-supersaver-class-upgrades/class-upgrade.html Interesting. Looking at the prices for these journeys, I expect exchanging your pass to a 1st class pass (€15 fee + price difference) will be cheaper. 2nd class passes NEVER allow you to just sit in or buy a reservation for 1st class accommodation. It in some cases is possible to buy an upgrade but there is no online booking that I know of that allows this. I in fact only know SNCF allows upgrading reservations on their domestic French TGV & Intercités services. These can be made on online and automatically appear as you fill in a 2nd pass in the search engine. Funnily, it is sometimes cheaper to buy an upgraded €10 reservation than a 2nd class €20 reservation. That's the only exception I know where this is integrated with the
If you want to travel with the panorama coaches of the Bernina Express, you need to book compulsory reservations through the site of the Rhätische Bahn: https://shop.rhb.ch/en/bernina-express All the seats offered through this booking engine are for the panoramic coach.While first it will show the price of both a train tickets and a reservation, in the "traveller details" step of the booking process you can indicate "Eurrail pass" (sic) as a discount card which removes the ticket costs. Note however the non-panorama coaches don't require any reservation for Eurail passholders, and also offer pretty decent views. You can find more details here: https://www.eurail.com/en/get-inspired/trains-europe/scenic-train-routes/bernina-express
Comment se fait-il que le pass 4 jours en 1 mois coûte 334€ pour 2 (avec l'actuelle réduction de 10%) alors que quand je rentre 4 destinations dans l'Interrail Trip Planner, cela me coûte 442€ ? Merci d'avance, Noémie Le pass pour adultes (28-59 ans) coûte maintenant €221, donc deux pour €442. Pour jeunes âgés entre 12 et 27 ans (inclus), il coûte que €167 (×2 = €334).
Officially you need to (manually) add all the journeys.
Plus is indeed not reimbursed if you request a refund, but in my opinion it should be if you request an exchange. Otherwise plus adds less flexibility for exchanges (€15 fixed exchange fee + €24 plus "fee"). Still, not everything is logic, so maybe Interrail staff can confirm this?
C-2 and C-7 are cercanías. If you have a continuous pass or an already active travel day, you can indeed use it to travel on these. On gated stations, you'll have to ask staff to open the access gates - if there's no staff present use the intercom buttons. It's a bit tedious, and some staff don't seem to trust it, but it's the only way. I've also encountered broken intercoms (if that happens: all ticket machines also have one and through that one they could also remotely open the access doors)If you have a reservation for a long distance service booked at a Renfe ticket office, you can also use the "CombinadoCercanías" (free Cercanías before/after a trip on a long distance train, should be mentioned in the second text row on the ticket) barcode to open the access gates from 4 hours before departure of the long distance train.If you have a flexi pass and no travel plans outside Madrid for the day, I'd say it's not worth using a travel day - Cercanías is relatively cheap. You can even ge
Interesting! Reading this and seeing the evolution of the rail market in recent years, it's actually a miracle Interrail still exists and even has gone digital, despite the justified fear of fraud. It seems this also explains the high reservations fees charged in France and Spain, and barriers to reserve them. Pretty curious how the income from Interrail is distributed over the railway operators (an advantage of the mobile passes is - I guess - that they have far better information on the usage in different countries).
I have made this overview of Interrail deals in 2021, but to be fair I’m not sure how representative it is given 2021 was also partly intended to 1. start up after covid 2. promote the mobile pass. I have some loose deals from 2020 and before (generally, there were less frequent deals - noting that mobile passes didn’t exist then), but I don’t expect them to be very representative either.Obviously, it undermines a bit these campaigns if they’re predictable, and they managed to do that again with the Black Friday sale (while I expected an offer, the actual offer did not match my expectations).16 December 2021-3 Jan 2022 10% discount winter sale26 November 2021: 10% Black Friday discount23 July - 3 August 2021: 10% discount summer sale3 - 30 June 2021: 10% discount summer sale3-31 March 2021: 20% discount9-15 February 2021: 1st class pass for 2nd class price (about 25% discount on 1st class passes - Valentines day)
