Hi, I am from Germany and I am planning my trip end of May/beginning of June in Spain and Portugal.I wanted to buy the seat reservations for two trains in Portugal, also because they are cheaper than I thought with just 5 Euro.But in the Railplanner App, it tells me as the only option I have to buy it is in person in a train station.I went to a DB-Service Center here in Germany and they told me they officially cannot book seat reservations for Interrail in Portugal anymore and they told me I need to buy them in the App, but as I said that isn’t possible.I looked up that for my route from Porto to Lisbon, I can take 3 trains without a reservation at all.But between Lisbon and Faro I cannot choose a connection without seat reservations, it’s the only possibility according to the app.I‘m a little anxious now because I already booked the hostels, next thing I wanted to try is to book the seats via a Portuguese Website but I was hoping someone here with similar experience could help me out.
Hi, I was buying the seat reservations for my trip in May and June, and it went fine except for my connection from Barcelona to Paris on June 5th.Looking up all the connections for the day, it tells me that they can’t show me the price and it could be that it’s booked out and I should try later.I asked a Train Station Center for help and they told me it could be that I am too soon and I should retry a few times but that doesn’t calm me enough.Does anyone have a tip for me?It‘s in more than two months so I hoped I would be early enough. thanksLuca
Does someone know what is up with this Ljubljana-Budapest-Kelenföld route in May 1st? In my interrail app it shows that it’s a direct train, but when I booked the seat reservation there were some major changes. There are two transfers, in Zalaegerzeg and Balatonszentgyoergy, one of which appears to be a replacement bus. There is very little transfer time in between too, anyone have any tips how to actually make it and not be left in a foreign city. Any info and tips are warmly welcome
If there are no reservations available on a route that says reservations optional, does that mean they are sold out and we will not be able to board? Or, will we have to stand with our luggage?We’re traveling from Basel to Interlaken, and Interlaken to Zurich.
I’m trying to reserve seats for my trip from Paris to Frankfurt.Per raileurope site that eurail linked me to, it shows no seats for all trains that afternoon while i haven’t completed checkout it seems to be bookable on the eurail site..Can someone tell me whether it is really all sold out?
To get onto Eurostar with a ‘normal’ ticket, you scan the ticket at the barrier. The ticket bar code has encoded your train ticket which includes your seat reservation and the barrier opens. However with interrail do you not have two separate components - your interral ticket showing that you are eligible to travel in Europe that day and your seat reservation for a particuar Eurostar train. So what do you do in order to board a Eurostar train - and does it work any differently compared to when using a normal ticket? Peter
Trying to plan with rail seeming the best option. Arriving in Munich, then to Bayreuth for Wagner festival.Next to St. Moritz. It seems there are several changes required and I will likely have one large suitcase and something else. I have a hanging bag which would be ideal for my dress clothing, but fear it might be difficult to navigate the changes so am considering a decent sized back pack. I will likely practice pack and adjust what I take.The friends I am meeting in St Moritz say the hotel will drive us to the station and help us get on the train to ZUR and they claim 2d class is fine.OK, I have taken trains before to and from Bayreuth and we always took 1st and it was still difficult to find space for luggage.Any ideas for how I can best navigate this trip or have I boxed myself in? I could rent a car to go Bayreuth-St Moritz or even hire a car and driver, but both are quite expensive. I am old but pretty fit(at least no disabilities) but changing trains always involves
I am booking a reservation free trip from Munich to Den Hag which is reservation free. I can pay if I wish. However, the system won’t allow me to add this trip to my cart unless I pay for a optional reservation. Am I missing something or is there a bug?
I have purchased pass for 7 days now my plan changed and wish to extend for 10 days I haven’t used my pass yet Possible to extend
Hi all, this is my very first time going overseas and l need some help with a train reservation.l want to catch a direct train from Paris to Zurich on Sunday 2nd June 2024. l have been waiting for the correct train to come up on Eurail timetable. Once it did l tried to buy the reservations however it is saying prices unavailable. l have tried going to all the other train sites like B-Europe, Rail Europe, TGV Lyria etc, but am unable to do so with my pass, it will only allow if l pay for a full fare. I understand it is the busy season but l have been trying for over a month to book and every single direct train on the day is ‘’Prices Unavailable’’. The trains where you have to make 2 changes are still available. is there another way? As it's almost like the passes aren't covered on the direct trains at all.Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you !!!
Hello,I have a global interrail pass and would like to book a journey from Bologna to Paris on 30 August 2024. The journey I'm interested in doesn't appear on the Rail Planner application (departure 9.36am, arrival 7.38pm). But I see that the journey is available the next day. Do you know if other trains can be added to the 30 August date? Thank you
Hi!I'm going to apply for the discover eu pass this April. Should I be qualified I'll have the opportunity to travel. Will I be able to share the link with a friend who's birthday is on July? He's not yet 18 and I'm not sure if we would be able to travel together.
HelloI have an interrail Global pass and would like to book a journey from Bari to Bologna on 28 August. On the application there are no short trains (5.45 am), only trains that take 23 hours... However, I see that the short train is scheduled to depart two days later, on 31 August. Do you know if other routes will be added? I can't find the information on the booking websites. Thanks for your help!
When I connect to Wifi or mobile data and search the trains from Heidelburg to Trier in Rail Planner it returns no results (see screenshot 1), but if I disconnect from Internet and search again many trains can be found (see screeshot2). How do I solve this or is it only possible to search trains offline?
Our route for our planned 7 day pass is all worked out. 3 days travelling out. 3 days travelling back and one day spare to be used at some point during our holiday.I read all the time about only activating your pass at the last minute in case you forget that it is already activated and problems arise and dates need changing. I am more exercised about getting used to using the pass and learning in advance about its ins and outs. I would much prefer, therefore, activating the pass early on, inputting all the journeys and and checking that I am totally confindent in using it. I would then deactivate it and activate again much closer to our departure date.Are there any things to be careful about, if I do this? Is there a reason why this might not be a good idea? Peter
Hello!I have interrailglobal 5 days within one month. My home country I travel from is Sweden and arrived to Germany. Now going back to Sweden (total used 2 days of travel).

I should explain two things:(a) My wife and I know precisely which trains we plan to take for our trip.(b) When we travel overseas we like to have both belt and braces. So in the past we have always had both of our tickets on each of our phones and also have had printed copies.Will this work as a plan for our trip which involve seven days of travel.Some time before we travel we will activate our passes and put each of our own tickets onto our respective passes.We will then take screenshots of each of our tickets which we will then ensure are put on BOTH of our phones.We will also have make printouts of the screenshots of the tickets.Then as security against something going wrong and having to change our plans, we will deactivate the passes, and we will then reactivate them much closer to the time of travel and this time input the tickets for real.Peter
