Panic not - here is a summary that should help. Your pass is the source of your tickets and reservations are a separate addition that never shows in your pass. The app has 3 key sections - the planner, the Trip and the pass. Each pass only has one trip throughout its duration - it is basically your diary of intended journeys but more on that later. First is the planner - this is where you search for the trains you might want to catch. Once you identify the trains you might travel on you add them to your pass e.g. your Eurostar train. Simply put the required info of start station, destination and date and it should be there with an option to add to your trip. If it doesn’t show and you know it exists you can always add trains manually to your trip. Next is your Trip. This is a totally amendable diary of trains you plan to travel on (often called a journey). Every single train you actually travel on has first to be added to your trip, but this can be done right up to boarding. Until you
If you mean the map on the Interrail website: that map is very incomplete. Your pass is linked to one "trip” in the app. That trip will eventually contain all trains you will use. Look here for the basics: https://www.interrail.eu/en/interrail-passes/interrail-mobile-pass/getting-started Reservations are completely separate from the app. They can't be booked in the app (it can forward to some of the website where you can book though) and they are not visible in the app. The rail planner app is not suitable to plan because the information it provides is not reliable and it is often out of date. A much better European train planner is the DB Navigator app. Further, national apps or websites are always most up to date. Thank you, ok I understand now that I create’ journeys’ which I then add to my trip.Yes I wish the rail map was comprehensive as it’s hard to plan the trip without being able to see the whole rail network! And I’ll download the DB navigator app then, thank you.
Thanks for all your answers they're really helpful!I think I'll try packing things into a old 65l backpack I have and see how full it ends up! Then either take that one or buy another. The wheelie suitcases are something I considered too…And with the shoes, I might have to buy some walking, weatherproof trainers so that they can be multipurpose. Side note, I'm new to this app and tapped a tick icon and it created a 'best answer', didn't mean to do that and don't know how to undo!?
Usually I take my bag of 90 liters, for travels longer than a week. In it a smaller bag and a pair of extra shoes. Hiking shoes are generally perfectly usuable in snowy and icy circumstances, and for hikes in warmer mountainous areas. Don’t stuff it too full anyway. You can always buy more appropriate clothing in the respective countries. And it’s usually a nice souvenir ;) Layers, layers for when it’s cold layers. A bit of thermical underwear will do miracles in combination with your day to day clothing in wintery circumstances and do not take a lot of space. If that’s not enough. Hup, an extra layer. Some zip-off outdoor/hike pants will also prove useful and is very space efficient. March/april/mai are usually not that cold in the north (except if you plan to go very high up north), nor that hot in the south Just do your laundry under the road, it’ll save you quite some space. Hi brendan, thanks for your tips. Hmm I was looking in a shop the other day at a 40litre bag! Wondered
