Assuming you are staying overnight at each place then, as Thicabe states, you need 7 travel days. However you could do Venice to Nice (via Milan) in a day. However since there is no 6 travel day pass it isn’t necessary.
Hopefully for clarity:The process you follow to create your “Ticket” in the app is split into 3 steps.Firstly there is the PLANNER where you search for the trains you will be using. From the PLANNER in the app you can add any train quickly to your TRIP (and any other pass on the device). You can use any other planning tool and, if your chosen train is not showing in the PLANNER you can add it manually.When you find your chosen trains you put or transfer them into your TRIP. Each pass has a single TRIP linked to it. Think of this as a diary and trains can be added and removed at any time up to boarding. Once you activate your PASS (ideally shortly before you board your first train) all the trains in your TRIP will show a small grey slider. By operating this the PASS will create a travel day and your first train ticket. A button appears in your PASS home page with SHOW TICKET. Click on this and you will see your ticket for that travel day. It has a QR code and a text listing of the train
The rule is that you can travel on up to any 2 days of your pass in your COR (Country of residence).On these days you can travel on as many trains as you wish in your COR or any of the other participating countries. There is no requirement to leave your COR on these days.There is an ongoing trial of some passes receiving an extra day but this will be shown in your pass.Note travelling on any train that has a scheduled stop in your COR but you do not leave the train will still trigger a COR. e.g. Paris to Amsterdam on Eurostar Thalys passes through Brussels and Germany so would trigger a COR day for Belgians and Germans.
I haven’t found a definitive seating plan but your train has a full complement of 9 carriages. That service is operated using the ETR 460 train set (an early tilting train). It seems many have been renumbered and similar train seating maps show 8A and 9A as window seats opposite each other (B is the aisle) with a table.
Just for info:LNER do have one unreservable area on their services but it is only about 15% of the available seats. The rest are available to be booked online or at the station and you can easily change the allotted seat(s) online. You do not need a pass number.Note if you choose a “free” seat in the reservable portion of the train LNER allow reservations at stations up to a few minutes before departure so you may be ejected at any intermediate station on the journey, even if the above seat indicator says different. All reservations at stations will be supported with a printed voucher.LNER do allow standing and trains can be very busy at any time. although peak times are obviously the highest risk.https://www.lner.co.uk/travel-information/make-a-reservation/
Just for info:, Alicante to Benidorm is now served by a regular tram service not included in your pass. You can change in Benidorm to the onward service to Denia (via Albir, Altea and Calpe).
Just for info:If you go on many planners for a journey from A to B you will see an option with each train suggested by the planner to show all stops. As a general observation High Speed and Intercity trains tend to have relatively few stops, and regional and local trains tend to stop at many intermediate stations.
Plenty of good advice but one quick point - some posts in the past have referred to taking a screenshot as a back-up if the app causes a problem. Whilst this may work please remember that that is technically not a valid ticket. It is easy for the inspector to see it is a screenshot as it will not scroll to show both the top info and the lower info. This is often an indicator of possible fraud - anybody can send a screenshot to a “friend”.It is cases like this (or not having a mandatory reservation or not having the current train in the listing) that cause most problems.However please remember how many successful Interrail journeys are completed every day.
If you are travelling first class it is always worth checking the OBB site/app. If you add an Interrail/Eurail pass to each passenger as a discount card and check for tickets (not seat reservations) it will show trains and, where available, give free reservations ( small processing fee may apply). They cover a range of countries. Lounges in Austria ( and UK) are available to pass first class users.
Do you think better to book seat reservation on alternative eg Lille instead, or do you think that they Brussels Eurostar will open up in a few weeks? thanks If getting to Lille is within your plans you could book but as previous post it is highly unlikely that, once released, there will be no seats from Brussels.
You will be able to use first class lounge in Vienna with your first class pass.
Reservations in the UK are optional but advised. LNER run regular services LON - EDI and you can get reservations online for free at the link above. OOI it issues random seats but you can go on the site and change to seats of your choice and you get a new e-mail instantly.
Make sure you order a Eurail pass ( for non-Europeans). Interrail is for European residents.
If you are planning on staying outside main cities and commuting in then check whether there is a Cercanias service. These are run by Renfe so if you have a continuous pass they are included and not reservable. Otherwise there is a relatively small charge. Some of them operate a zonal system rather than a point to point pricing. (Barcelona scheme is called Rodalies).https://www.renfe.com/es/en/suburban
Once you use your 2 in/out days then you cannot use the pass for any further travel within Germany, this includes international trains for the part they are in Germany.. In that scenario the Cologne - Paris would have to be separately paid for Cologne to border/border station/first station outside Germany. With the cost of Interrail reservations for TGVs on top It may well be cheaper to just buy regular tickets for this. Possibly better to travel on the ICE service From Cologne to Brussels rather than the Eurostar. You could get an advance ticket for Hanover to Liege Gullemins for about 30 euro and then use your pass (staying on the train to Brussels). (Change at Koln).
You can fit in many stops in a month and it would be entirely up to you how much time you spend travelling and staying in each stop.As an example I spent 10 days (5 travel days) covering UK- Sicily (cheap flight), Salerno, Bologna, Nuremberg, Brussels and back to the UK. So treble that and you can see how far you could travel .Realistically you should try something like a 3 day cycle travel - stay 2 nights - travel - stay 2 nights. This usually gives one evening and then a full day touring the city/region you are staying in. Quite relaxing,I am happy with between a 4 hour and 9 hour travel day, but I do go First Class.
I believe that to be incorrect - Unless the train has no scheduled stops in your home country any journey through you country of residence will take an In/Out day or not allow you to add your journey if you have used all available In/Out days - Even if you do not leave the train.Otherwise pass holders could put their departure and arrival in the two countries (e.g. An Austrian on the ECB trains would put Verona and Munich) and then leave at an Austrian station nearest home.
AFIK the rule is that travel on any train that has a scheduled stop in your country of residence will trigger an In/Out day. If it simply passes through without a stop it shouldn’t trigger the use of a travel day. The app will prevent you adding any COR journeys after you have used both days. If you haven’t used both days it will flag that the journey requires an In/Out day and you need to confirm it.
AFIK there are only 3 online sources of domestic Italian reservations.Eurail/Interrail reservation service.OBB website as detailed in earlier posts.Italiarail has a dedicated site for Interrail reservations. https://partners.italiarail.com/default?force_pass=true&aff=EURAIL
As far as I'm aware, the Switzerland-Italy trains include the Eurail supplement and a seat reservation, but the €10 on the Austria-Italy trains is just the supplement, and you can add a seat reservation if you wish. Correct. This reservation is free of charge in 1st class. But you will still be charged for the cross border supplement (15 euro first class).
I have to respectfully disagree with you. Firstly the In/Out or COR days (Country of residence) are not extra days in your pass so you pay for X days irrespective of which country you travel in. As such nobody is getting more financial benefit from these In/Out days than us, simply the ability to include your home providers on those days as well as all the other countries. We are certainly not subsidising anybody else as we still get X days unlimited transport, whether we use these days or not. I have done a few adventures now where I used a flight to start or end my adventure and then had an extra day in mainland Europe. I do not regret not using my COR day - Or I could have used both days to facilitate a stay in London. One of the countries that gets the best “cash” or “value” deal from COR days is without doubt the UK, as you well know if you live in the North East. For an early train to London you could easily pay £100+ (£200+ if you have a first class pass) and Eurostar

I think I read somewhere another scenario was residents of countries such as Germany were being penalised if they wanted to cross the country e.g. Brussels to Copenhagen. So I think there may be a case for piloting an extra day to assess whether it would be used in that way, not a free day to jolly around your COR. Edit - a better example is Verona to Munich passing through Austria and Switzerland. An Austrian would lose a COR.It may also be worth considering the option to purchase an extra Cross - COR day onto your pass. Obviously no value to the UK user.
I understood that if you were in the pilot countries you would simply see a higher number in your available In/Out days. That was with a mobile pass.I lost interest when, not surprisingly, the UK was not included. You can just about get to London and beyond in a day from most, if not all, of the UK.
After 3 Interrail adventures (the final one being a few weeks ago) I have had no issues with the performance of the app.However it can be a bit difficult and time consuming to get your journeys into your trip until you have done a couple.
