If you log in to your Eurostar booking on the eurostar.com site with the booking references on the ticket you have (at least for those booked through SNCB, if I remember correctly) I was able to change the seats that I had been assigned.
Glad to see it's pretty quick! Thanks for keeping us posted on this process.
No, you cannot transfer active passes from one device to the other. You cannot make reservations through the app either so everyone should simply add the pass to their own device (if they want to travel on their own).You can create the initial travel itinerary (the "trip") on one device and import it in other devices (using the share as link functionality, though it only shares the itinerary at that moment - later changes are not shared). Then the others can couple the imported trip to their own pass on their own device.Only activate your passes shortly before departure, to avoid them activating unintentionally.
I googled and found this: https://www.eurail.com/en/about-us/become-our-partner
From Valence to Geneva you can travel all the way with a TER regional train. These don't require (nor allow) reservations: you add them to your pass and you're ready to board.
So it is purely for own record and not needed by ticket inspection No. They are an integral part of your ticket. Without them, your pass is not valid.
Note Vaduz does not have a train station, but Schaan (4 km away) does. However, Schaan is only served by local trains between Feldkirch (Austria) and Buchs (Switzerland) from Monday to Friday only. No service in weekends.The DB travel planner is probably giving you an option including a bus from either Feldkirch, Buchs or Sargans. These buses do actually go to Vaduz and are far more frequent and not much slower than the train to Schaan, but those are not covered Interrail - you can however buy a separate ticket for them - I think I did so on board of the bus. I'd recommend you'd search for a journey to either Feldkirch, Buchs or Sargans, and check the bus timetables from those towns on liemobil.li.Hope this helps!
If 2 of the passes are then unlinked from my device by Customer Service and transferred to my friends’ devices, will the reservations still be linked to their passes? Unlinking the devices through customer service is something you shouldn't rely upon. Due to the potential of abuse, as far as I know this is only done in exceptional situations. As long as your passes are not active (activated and activation date reached) you can remove them from your phone and move them to another phone. No reservations can be made through the app. Generating the ticket for the day (the QR-style code) is not a reservation for the listed trains.
I think this page is pretty clear that it's possible: "The reservation fee for 2nd class Passes is 50 NOK (approximately €5) per seat in the standard area or 200/300NOK (approximately €20/€30) for a seat in the Komfort, Pluss or Premium area (depending on the train company)." https://www.interrail.eu/en/plan-your-trip/tips-and-tricks/trains-europe/trains-country/trains-norway
Effectivement, il ne parait pas qu’il est possible de reserver des places pour ce train a ce moment. Les messages d’erreur n’indiquent pas qu’il est complet, mais ça semble improbable. Comme c’est vers Paques, veille a reserver à temps.Sur le site de ÖBB je n’arrive pas a réserver ce train aucune autre date non plus, mais il est disponible sur le site des chemins de fer Tchèques (cd.cz) pour voyager jusqu’au 10 mars. Donc j’imagine que ce train será reservable alentours du 6 fevrier (2 mois avant).
You might be entitled to compensation due to the strike days if you had specific plans and can for instance provide evidence of booked domestic flights/coach rides.I'm however surprised: you indicate you live in the UK in your profile, so as such should have opted for an Interrail pass. That would only have allowed you to use two travel days in the UK. Please do not abuse these passes to travel cheaply within the UK, as there is little necessary for UK railway companies to stop accepting them.
Hi! I've been curious about the Greek islands too.As far as I know, the global pass does not cover the ferries to most islands, but there is a separate pass that does cover various of those ferries: https://www.interrail.eu/en/interrail-passes/one-country-pass/greece-passes/greek-islands The global pass does give 20% (Minoan Lines) or 30% (Blue Star Ferries & Hellenic Seaways and Blue Star Ferries in cooperation with ANEK LINES to Crete) discount on ferries to the islands, of which a few would be free with the Greek Island pass.The global pass does cover the ferry between Italy and Greece on Superfast ferries/Anek lines, but it is not entirely free: Some port fares and high season supplements (if applicable) do have to be paid, and - if chosing a cabin - that has to be paid too. It can be booked online through superfast.com, and - from the few ferries I've checked I've found them to be surprisingly expensive in the end. Cheapest option with a bed is €75 per person (in a 4-bed cabin
From your text, I understand you have added the journey to your trip, but have you also activated it to your pass, using the slider button in “My Trip”? The button should be orange (or at least is in the Android app).Be sure to check you have added the trip for the correct day too.
Hi All, Sorry in advance, probably my questions below have all been answered somewhere else in the forum, but I just can’t find the answers I’m looking for. I have a mobile Flexi pass which I intend to use in Italy, France, Austria and Germany. However, I do not quite seem to get it: I have all my possible routes and train times added to the individual days in my trips. I learned from here in the forum to activate each day just before getting on the first train. My questions: -Do I get QR Codes for each individual leg or is there just one code for the whole day covering all the legs (which means do I have to activate all trips of the day in one go? -or, can I activate one leg after the other during that day and can I add another, unplanned leg on that same day and activate it? -Do I have to stick exactly to the train times or can I take any train, if it is just the same route? (all provided I don’t need a reservation) You get a QR code for the day after activating just one journey.
Note that I found that the SNCF machines: purple/white now do NOT spit out printed tickets anymore, but want to give in tel.nr=@mail and will send a confirmaton to that mail. For many Germans this can be a rather sensitive mooted point. This only happens if they have run out of paper - I got one printed a few weeks ago. If it happens and you don't have a Smartphone, just write down the shown booking number and either walk to another machine to print them or go to the train manager - they should be able to find your booking with it. Thank you, this is very helpful. So I will just activate the first trip and add others as I go along on this same day. You can also book Italian reservations online via tickets.oebb.at: do NOT use "Seat reservation only” but add the Interrail/Eurail discount and then look for normal tickets. It works similar in the OBB app. So, there’s no problem if I use the mobile reservation, rather than anything in printed form? I had no problem with that. I think I
Italian night trains cannot be booked online through ÖBB. They can be booked online through the Interrail reservations portal: I booked mine through Deutsche Bahn on the phone, and collected it from a ticket machine in Germany - which might also be an option for you if your trip brings you through Germany at some point before.
For the Bernina Express you can even ride with the same train as there always are reservation free coaches (right behind the engine if I remember correctly). Thanks again, but how to find out which of these swiss expresses are covered by the interrail passes and which are not? So the free coaches are on every scheduled bernina express? What is then the different between free coaches and those requiring extra tickets? cheers On the page “Trains in Switzerland”, under “Scenic trains” you can click on the individual pages, where detailed conditions are given: Bernina Express: Chur - Lugano via Tirano (Italy) Chocolate train: Montreux - Broc-Chocolat Centovalli Railway: Locarno (Switzerland) - Domodossola (Italy) Golden Pass: Luzern - Interlaken - Montreux Glacier Express: Davos/St. Moritz - Zermatt Gotthard Panorama Express: Luzern - Domodossola (Italy) The page on the Bernina Express addresses your question: Look under "See how the trains compare".
Hi All, planning to travel 10 days trip in Europe. If I’m travelling on Schengen visa can I travel on buses and trains to other countries ? With a Schengen visa you can travel freely within the Schengen area. No border checks generally occur, and if they do they might check your Visa but will not deny you entry if you have a valid Schengen visa. if I take euro rail pass is it necessary to book seat reservation if I want to travel around 9 countries? It mostly depends on the countries and the trains, but in some countries (France, Spain, Italy) and on some trains (Eurostar, Thalys, TGV, all night trains) seat reservations are required (costing between €4 and somewhere around €50, depending on the train and route)
Another series of test cases would be to try this when you are actually in those timezones when you add the journey to your pass. I'm arriving in the UK tomorrow morning (on a Eurostar with a regular, non-passholder fare), so I'll see what happens once there.Another interesting case would be activating it after 23:00, is it even possible to activate a travel day in the past? (Not really dare to try that out normally, with the risk of losing a travel day). Still have to buy the cabin supplement too, so I might be asked to activate it before 23:00 GMT.
Is this another example of devices set in local time not CET? We have seen several posts on dates of birth and passports solved by adjusting devices to CET. My phone is currently set to CET, but the trip is in GMT timezone. I'll see what happens tomorrow once I am in the GMT timezone myself.
Unfortunately, it might well be possible that seat reservations are non-refundable. I am not so sure about the conditions for the Italian reservations, but I know for instance those on Eurostar cannot be refunded. Unfortunately, Appendix 1 of the Interrail booking conditions (on reservations booked through the self service portal) refers to Trenitalia, but Trenitalia provides no information on refunds for these tickets. You can possibly achieve something by reaching out to the customer service of whoever you booked the reservations with.
I don't really know. They should open 4 months in advance but that's clearly not the case. SNCF has announced ticket sales for spring (27 March 2023 to 31 May 2023) will open on 25 January 2023. I expect passholder reservations to come available then too (in any case via SNCF's own channels).
Timetables for the Paris-Barcelona services are already available on sncf-connect.com, but I think the compulsory reservations on that train are not yet bookable. That only starts about 4 months in advance.The timetables within Spain for the direct Barcelona-Alicante trains are not yet available, and it's pretty unpredictable when they will be published. You can however rely upon the fact that there will be trains on that route, unless engineering works are taking place (in which case an alternative will be proposed). If you want to get an indication of the timetables, check on a date in the near future (on renfe.com or bahn.de for instance). If engineering works do occur on that line (they are working on upgrades) going via Madrid (all high speed line) might be an alternative, but if travel planners give you that now be aware it's because the timetables on those routes are generally available earlier given that Renfe there faces competition (and the competitors release the timetables
To get back on this: Activating when in the UK made no difference. I did activate it slightly before 23:00 GMT. Reached out to Interrail customer service and after some initial misunderstanding they fixed it in a matter of hours - they added an extra travel day to my pass. I'm not sure how many people are impacted negatively or possitively by this bug. Overall, using local timezones might make most sense anyway (as is the case for paper passes), so maybe the bug can be fixed by changing the travel day definition.
Unfortunately, when we arrived in London we were told at the LNER ticket office in Kings Cross sleeper cabins were sold out. We ended up totally changing plans and booking the Caledonian Sleeper (that one can be booked online), switching our Cornwall plans for a trip through Scotland.Maybe it's also not possible to book them relatively shortly before departure (at 11 AM for an 11 PM departure)? To be fair, we might have had more luck at GWR's own ticket desk, but heading to Paddington just for that seemed a bit like a waste of time (and we didn't want to miss out on cabins on the Caledonian sleeper as well).I haven't heard back yet from GWR.
