Seat reservation

I made a mistake by booking my seat alone because I didn't knew we could reserve it together(with your group). So, I wanted to know if we could take it back or change seats because they're saying we can't.Hope you can help me and have a nice Day.

Out and In - UK Twice

Hi all,I’m new to interrailing and trying to learn as much as I can quickly. I am worried about booking tickets for this summer and missing the tickets for Eurostar and night trains.I have purchased a 10 day pass with the aim of going on two trips this summer with my partner and two sons. First trip is from London to Amsterdam, then to Germany, and back to London. The second trip is then to Croatia - I’m still trying to work out a route for this. Today, I noted that I cannot use the pass for my second trip in and out of the UK. So I guess I need to purchase Eurostar separately for this return trip. My concern is that if I do the first trip and return back to London my pass will no longer be valid. Is it ok to do this?Also I am looking at booking the night train from Zagreb to Stuttgart and the website says the train might be subject to change. Is this a concern? I am not sure if this just means a timetable change or a cancellation. We do need to return from Croatia as quickly as possib

Ferries

Hello guys  I am going interrailing this summer with two of my freinds, and we have some questionsCan we get a guide to how to book a ferry from Greece to Italy? Also if you plan your trip on Eurail Interrail, why cant we see the ferry routs, specifically from Italy (ancona) to croatia (spilt)? Do i buy a ferry ticket on  Eurail app, or do i use another app or website?Thanks!

The Interrail App doesn't syncronize with the online account on the interrail.eu website

I allready bought a pass on the interrail website.euI have a iPhone and a laptop with windows 11, I used the browser Firefox.I activated my pass at the mobile Rail Planer App and conect it with a spesific trip. The same pass is connected to another trip on the interrail website in my account. The Trip from the App isn’t shown on the interrail website and the Trip on the website isn’t shown in the App. I can change the trips in the app as I want but in my accout there changes nothing. So the sincronization between the online website and the app obviosly doesn´t work, even it´s the same pass and the same account. How can I fix this?

expire date

I have an Interrail Pass that is valid for one month and is set to expire on August 11th. I would like to start my trip on August 1st. If I activate the pass on that date, will I be able to use it for the full month, or will it stop working after August 11th? In other words, is the one-month validity counted from the activation date, or is August 11th the absolute latest date I can use the pass, regardless of when I activate it?

Viajes asociados al pase

Hola, tengo dos pases globales de 7 días en un mes para empezar a usar en septiembre, el día 1 ya tengo los billetes, y cuando quiero agregar viajes para el dia 2, guardo viaje en la carpeta creada y me pone que no está asociado a ningún viaje, claro me deja hacerlo pero desvinculando el viaje del día 1, y no entiendo como puedo "comprar" todos los viajes de los 7 días para que queden vinculados cada uno en el pase de las dos personas que somos.Tengo que vincular cada viaje después de haber terminado cada trayecto?

EN 476/407 Deluxe Single Reservation

Q: Can I use my Interrail 2nd class Global Pass to book a deluxe single sleeper cabin on CD? I’d like to use my 2nd class pass to reserve a single deluxe cabin on two routes (Budapest-Krakow & Warsaw-Prague). CD has an easy process, and for both it does assign a single deluxe, *but* going through the ‘Document terms and conditions’, it says:“Compartments in sleeper carriages are divided into so-called “Economy”, where a 2nd class ticket is required for all types of compartments (Triple, Double, Single and possibly connected Family compartments), and so-called “Deluxe”, where a 1st class ticket is required for all types of compartments. For use of a berth of the category Single (a compartment with one bed), it is necessary to present a travel document issued for 1st class travel.”CD giving me the option to book a deluxe single with specified 2nd class IR seems to contradict the Ts&Cs. Man in Seat 61 does not specify (as he does for all other night train options) for the Czech si

travel in home country with global pass

hi, i’m travelling from the UK to Europe using a global pass. can i make multiple journeys in my home country using the pass? the website is ambiguous - it says i can only make two journeys - one in, one out - but i can have ‘multiple train transfers’. Does this mean i can travel from any location to London then get the eurostar as long as it is on the same travel day?And the same on return i assume?

Hello I have planned to visit europe from 25th April to 30th May 2025. I purchase 10 days flexible global pass ticket.First 10 days I will roam around the italy then Switzerland next 7 days and subsequently France, Belgium, Netherlands.When I search a trip in the eurail rail planner app I didn't find the stations name though if I zoom the maps I can see the stations. But It is bit difficult to find my exact train station name near to my accomodation. Rail planner map does not switch to satellites mode also.My concern, is there any way to see all the station  name of a country or city near to my accomodation. Is there any option to switch rail planner map default mode to satellite mode?Thanks in advance. Profound regards

Seat reservations

I’m forever grateful for all the help I’ve gotten from you users today, and since you know so much, I wanted to ask you a few more questions. These are regarding the seat reservations as well. You told me that it is not possible to buy seat reservations fore some regional trains, are these included?: Chur - zeurich Hb (19.11-20.48 11 July 2025), berlin Hbf - Magdeburg Hbg (0.44-02.37 13 July 2025) (I have been told that this is a regional train), Magdeburg Hbf - Uelzen (04.47-06.41 13 July 2025), Uelzen - Hamburg Hbf (07.04 - 08.03 13 July 2025), Fredericia - Slagelse (12.15 - 14.10 13 July 2025) Also please tell me if you think it’s stupid that we sometimes only have 20 minutes in between arrival and departure. We struggled to find other alternatives that would cost us many more hours.

Two one-way tickets with railpass needed London to Edinburgh 7/7/25 - Help Requested!

Thanks to this community for your advice and help. I need to buy two adult one-way train tickets from London (any station) to Edinburgh for the morning of July 7, 2025. I already bought two Interrail Global Passes, good for any 4 days within a month. I would like to use those passes for this train ticket, but so far I cannot see how to do that. I live in Switzerland and have residency there but hold a US passport. I’ve tried doing this with VPN set to Great Britain and and also without, neither seems to make a difference. Here’s also what I’ve tried:Interrail.eu : when I try to book on this site, while logged into my account, and I’ve added my passes to my account, I can see many trains throughout the day, but I get a red popup that says seat reservations are required for this train travel, but that I can’t make seat reservations from this site. The “more information” button says to try buying tickets on acprail.comAcprail.com : I created an account on this site and tried to load my pa

Hi all,actually I’m preparing for my travel around Spain that will be real in the next two weeks, I’m trying to book my reservation seats for a travel between Valencia and Alicante but at the moment I want to pay suddenly it says that there are erros with my data.I checked and my data are correct, I really don’t know and I also text to the assistance but I’m discovering that railpass is not amazing app for this. Do you know some other sites or app I can use just to book reservation?I tried to go directly on Renfe website but actually it just sell full ticket, I can’t book the seat reservation.It’s my first time interrail and it’s my first travel alone longer than a weekend, so please I’m bit scared that everything could go wrong, it would be nice to have all seats reserved before taking my flight to Spain.Thanks for any advices you’d like to give me! :)

Can't see some direct trains on EURAIL website

 I’m trying to book Munich to Verona on August 16, 2025. I would prefer a direct train, but there are none available on the EURAIL website for that date. When I look at August 9, exactly one week earlier, there are several direct trains for this route. I have the same issue with other segments of my trip, Munich-Verona-Florence-Rome; no high speed or direct trains available to book on the dates I want.. Yet if I look at other websites such as Trenitalia or Italo, I can see that those direct trains are supposed to be running.I keep coming back to check every few days in case the direct trains on the 16th and later suddenly become available to book with my Pass, but no luck yet.Is it a question of waiting for a certain date to see the direct routes become available to EURAIL Pass holders, or should I assume it wont happen and make other arrangements?

seat reservations

On some of our planned shorter trips the interrail app neither says “seat reservations optional” nor “seat reservations required”. Does that mean that it is not possible to make seat reservations for these trips?

The first one in Kristinehamn station coming from Oslo and  going to Katrineholm C . Then in Katrinholm C to go to Linkoping C. And then in Linkoping C , nightrain  to go to Hamburg. Apparently these 3 stations are small ones  I was wondering if the trains would wait for people in transfer ?!

Reservation issues Brussels - Paris

We've booked all the trains on our itinerary, except for one that's causing us problems: a train from Brussels to Paris that will leave around 16:00 on July 14. We've booked in advance, but we can't seem to make a reservation, even though the train does exist... yet it's as if it doesn't exist on b-europe.com. Do you have any advice?
