Use of Interrail Pass QR code at Amsterdam Centraal Gates

Altough your question is answered already, I like to state, it’s not a QR code, but an Aztec one! :)

Brienz Rothorn Bahn/Steam Trains

To make nice mountains affordable, have a look into saver day cards issued by SBB. in that one, Rigi, Stanserhorn (the one with the famous cabrio cabin) and Rochers de Naye are included. As well as less public transport in whole countries including busses and most passenger boat lines. For the validity google the keyword “GA Geltungsbereich” Only disadvantage, you shoild buy it already know since the prices will get higher the closer to the date

Brienz Rothorn Bahn/Steam Trains

First, Brienzer Rothorn rack railway doesnt operate in winter at all. Unfortunately, all swiss “premium” mountains are super pricy to visit.If its just about steam train, there is more suitable solutions 🙃 (But not in Switzerland..) In east germany there is a lot still existing, which you could also visit by 49 euro ticket.Touching Switzerland: have a look into Rhibähnli (google Bahn Internationale Rhein Regulierung). To visit that one, I recommend Bodensee Vorarlberg Freizeitkarte. Have a look into that one, especially to know the other benefits.

Can I buy a 1st class supplement when using a 2nd class Global Pass?

Depends on the railway’s tariff. There is no such a thing as a interrail daily upgrade. But most companies allow to just buy the upgrade and use it with interrail as well. But, youll get them only for full fare (no saver fares on the upgrades). So Im super sure it will be more then one fourth of the pass. So if you really want to travel 1st class from Rotterdam to Budapest, it will be probably best to just buy the interrailpass in 1st class.

Global pass

No, cause like that you could share the screenshot and multiple people could use it. Its still a good idea to take a screenshot in case the app strikes. But you dont need it for case of bad network. the app works offline. But, you need internet to activate your travel day anyway before travel (that generates the ticket).

Its not a countdown but the actual time. Its used for the conductor to make sure you are showing the ticket on the app and not a screenshot of it.

Inbound journey. Crossing border before midnight

I activated and deactivated my pass. It looks like Denmark only has the normal 2 inbound /outbound days. I don't know what the pattern is, since countries with similar sizes has 3 days. Maybe there is no pattern. After all, it is only a test... So in case anyone else reads this, the list of inbound /outbound days currently looks like this: Belgium: 3 days Denmark: 2 days Netherlands: 3 days Sweden: 3 days Switzerland: 3 days Feel free to add more countries to the list. Palle Dam I think EurailGroup asked their partners (which is in most cases the (ex) state railways or an association of railway companies), if they want to participate in the test or not.

Inbound journey, when does it count?

Wenn Du Deutschland Ticket hast müsstest Du nur Strasbourg - Kehl lösen. Interrail gilt dann bis zur Grenze, also Kehl(Gr). Ob das Deutschlandticket hier nur bis Kehl oder auch bis zur Grenze gilt, das weiß ich nicht und hängt vom Verkehrsverbund ab. Man braucht jedenfalls maximal eine Fahrkarte von Kehl(Gr) nach Kehl. Das stimmt, aber ist die auch erhältlich?

Inbound journey, when does it count?

Ja stimmt, da hab ich den falschen rausgesucht, ich meine in die andere Richtung, z.B. TGV 9583. Es geht darum dass ich länger Frankreich angucken möchte, aber einmal im Monat nach Baden-Baden muss. Wenn ich nun also ohne Inbound nach Baden-Baden fahren könnte wäre das perfekt, sonst geht’s bis Straßburg und dann mit dem Regio nach Baden-Baden. Wenn Du Deutschland Ticket hast müsstest Du nur Strasbourg - Kehl lösen. Bzw könntest Du mit Interrail sogar bis Krimmeri-Meinau fahren. Unter Umständen lässt sich mit einem Ticketsplitting auch sonst sparen. (Aber weiss es nicht, hab nicht nachgeschaut)

Inbound journey, when does it count?

The line in question is the TGV from Frankfurt to Marseille, for example TGV 9580. It requires a reservation from Baden-Baden which is the last stop on the German side. Does this mean the border point is Baden-Baden? No, the border point on this line is Kehl(Gr). That's also where the operator changes from DB to SNCF. If you do a journey with a train that stops beyond the border tariff point, then the app will use an inbound/outbound day. Achtung, Kehl(Gr) ist nicht der Bahnhof Kehl! Aber in Deinem Fall ohnehin irrelevant, Dein Zug stoppt da ja nicht. Also um Deine Frage zu beantworten, wenn Du von Marseille Richtung Deutschland fährst (wie anfangs beschrieben) brauchst Du bis Strasbourg keinen Inboundday, bei jedem Halt darüber hingegen schon. Allerdings, den Zug den Du genannt hast, fährt in die umgekehrte Richtung… Worum geht es genau, möchtest Du einen In/Outbound sparen um ein weiteres Mal das Land zu verlassen?Vielleicht können wir Dir mit genaueren Angaben b

1st class Globe Pass seat reservations on OBB site no longer free?

There may well be sound reasons for introducing a fee, as the discussion has suggested. OBB have always appeared to be one of the good guys when it comes to Interrail, but the fact that they seem to have sneaked this change out without publicising it anywhere, as far as I can see, leaves a bad taste. The combination of the new DB rules around compulsory reservations on many cross border trains durign the summer, and the poor timekeeping of many of their long distance trains means faffing about with changing seat reservations has removed some of the flexibility which is such a hallmark of Interrail usage in Germany and Austria. They also never published that they give free reservation to interrail first class holders! I’m sure it was an error in the system and never designed to be. But still sad. But the thing with the compulsory reservations is even worse. I mean. they could just let DB do their thing. In their territory only! For example between St Margrethen and Lindau, only ÖBB ta

Global pass - trip to Italy

This Summer youll also have to pay mandatory reservation to and out of germany. 3 Euros each when buyed with ÖBB. Or you buy the whole route with DB for 4.90. There is mandatory supplement on the Brenner ECs but only on the italian part. So in your case between Brennero and Bolzano. So you could avoid it by changing their to a regional train.

Inbound journey. Crossing border before midnight

Your pass is not valid within your country except on your in or outbound days. So, Im sorry to tell you, but since you enter your country with the travelday of the previous day, youll neeed two inbounds for that case. If you are lucky, denmark is part of the test to have 3 in/out bounds. Unfortunately there is no list available about which countries participate… Otherwise, try to fit your schedule into 5 travel days, Frederica Horsens should be ways cheaper than a travel day. And, since youll still have one day to less, check normal tickets on your other travel legs, and replace the one where standard ticket is the cheapest.

can 4days pass be used on separate days during the month?

That's correct, you may use it that way. It's possible to buy it now but there's no need to do so. Activation / use must take place after 11 months at the latest. You can wait for a promotion. In some years there was one around valentine day. Just subscribe interrail newsletter to get informed.

First Timer with travel question

make a coarse plan for your route. count the traveldays. since it will be pretty sure a lot, an interrail global pass will be a good choice. if you move only every 4th day, 15d in 2M and separate tickets in balkans will be an option. but when you move like every 1.5th day, pretty sure a 3M continuous pass will still be the best deal even if you have to buy bus ticket sometimes in Balkans..

Help !

Okay so to be clear : only the departure day counts so if you board a night train at 23:30 on 14th February and arrive at 09:00 on 15th, only 14th February will be used as a travel day. (I thought you wanted to take the Munich - Budapest night train followed right after by the other night train in a single pass day. My bad!) However look at my other info : I don’t think there is a night train between Budapest and Krakow. Have you seen anything ? there is, but doesnt run daily with the same schedule
