Hello, I reserved seats Vienna to Prague on the 4th of Sept. On the app. it showed only Breclav to Prague booked nothing about Vienna to Breclav. I also see that some reservations ask for a shipping address to send tickets. I just need email tickets as the delivery dates for the tickets is while I am travelling and would not know exactly where I would be. Thanks Rick 

We will be in Switzerland (Geneva mostly) by Aug.19 and travelling to Paris on Aug. 24-25, back in Geneva. Travelling to Italy Aug.31-Sept.2 and back to Geneva again. While in Geneva, maybe take 2-3 days random trip outside of Geneva (maybe Zurich, Bern, Interlakken, Luzern, Zermatt.. etc..)…I am thinking at least 7 days Eurail pass to cover Paris and Italy trips and use 2 days in Switzerland.Since I plan to use the Eurail (7 day pass) pass only on specific days, will that mean I have to "activate" the pass only on those days?Like for Aug.24-25 going to Paris, I need to activate the pass before my preferred train schedule? And on Aug. 31-Sept.2 while in across Italy, same - activate before taking the train going to Italy?And so on for the other travels days?Also, how would I know if a specific train needs seat reservations? Like in Italy, the FRECCIAROSSA, does it needs seat reservation? Or even in SBB Trains? Thank you.

 I am travelling on a global pass one month first class fare between England (origin) France and Spain. I am travelling home from south of Barcelona to Newcastle, UK. I am travelling with an assistance dog which make things a little more complicated. I travelled from Barcelona Sants to Latour du Carol on the 14.30 train on Friday 21st April. I had also booked onwards travel to Paris on the night train from Latour du Carol (Pyrénées) to Paris, Fri 21st April, dep. 18.49 arriving 22nd April 06.33. My Eurostar was booked for Paris-London on Sat 22nd at 09.13. At 18.00 SNCF cancelled the night train and I was stranded in Latour du Carol. The staff at Latour were inexperienced and unhelpful and told me to head back to the next town (Puigcerda, 4 mins away by train, but in Spain) and stay the night, getting the train in the morning back to Latour de Carol. This was a bad idea as I arrived in puigcerda and there were no trains in the morning and no one to help. I got a cab back to Latour (€40

HiI want to book a TGV seat from Paris to Nimes on raileurope.com (28. 8.)  I found information that it should show the seat number before payment, but I don't see any number on the checkout page. The only option is to select a seat aisle/window or upper/lower deck. Am I doing something wrong, or does raileurope no longer show the seat number?I have bought global pass but not activated yet. Thanks for answer. 

I am going from Tirano on the 20th of June 2023, plan to do Bernia express then join onto the glacier express to the Matterhorn in Zermatt.on the eurorail app I find I can not make it from Tirano to St. Moritaz before the 9am train departs along the glacier route.thus I changed around to Chur and then switching to glacier express but then it still wants to go through Zurich and around instead of going through Andermatt along the actual glacier route. please, how do I travel from Tirano to Zermatt on the same day, arriving by 7pm, via the actual bernia and glacier routes? thankyiu kindly for your assistance 

Hi my dear fellow Interrailers,I’m quite new to this fascinating Interrail business and haven’t yet taken a nighttrain with it. So here’s my question (I found similar questions, but none quite the same, or I looked in the wrong direction 😅):In october I want to go with the global pass from Hamburg to Innsbruck with the ÖBB night jet and then I want to go directly from Innsbruck to Bologna. How many travel days would that be? And is it a problem that the night train will leave Hamburg at about 8 pm in the evening and won’t cross the border before midnight?And then on my return I want to go from Florence to Innsbruck and from there with the ÖBB night jet back to Hamburg. Does that work? Somewhere I read that I can’t take a night train for an inbound journey, but that doesn’t seem to make any sense to me.Would be so glad if you could help me out 😊Nadia

I have two Eurail passes (5 days in a month) - one for my husband and one for myself. I had set them up with a Trip name and had used the Rail Planner app to select all of the train journeys we want to take. Some of the journeys required a Reservation and I had arranged all of those, one directly with Eurail and several with the rail companies. The UK Rail companies had helped me select connections and had allocated seats for no charge. HOWEVER, I have just changed to a new phone and while all of my apps came down successfully “from the cloud”, all of the detail on my Rail Planner has gone! Of course I have not lost my Eurrail passes and I have started the process of manually adding them to the Rail Planner app but when it comes to the point of the app asking me to “create a name for a Trip”, I can’t understand where my original Trip has gone with all of the train journeys saved on it. I may be able to add the train journeys but I now cannot remember exactly which changes in the journe

Hi I need clarification for travel days activation.I have read that you can modify a travel day only until the day before. Does it mean that, for example, if I want to leave on the 14th I must activate the travel day on the 13th? And If I haven't, I can't activate it on the 14th? Then about the train activation. Let's say that I must activate the day not after the 13th (in order to travel on the 14th), but can I activate the trains on the 14th? This in order to prevent myself from activating a train I won't take (if it's late or other reasons). Or if I want to decide on the same day I travel if I want to leave earlier or not, can I just activate the train on that day? Thanks

Hi everyone! Another problem today… me and my friends had previously booked in march the ICE 121 from Amsterdam Ceentral to Frankfurt Flughafen, then we had another 2 or 3 trains ( i don’t remember perfectly) to get to Strasbourg in France. Today we checked and without any notice, THE EURAIL TIMETABLE shows that our train stops at Kohl, and then we have 6 other trains to get on to eventually get to Strasbourg. This seemed crazy to us… so we checked other websites such as DSB and DB and in fact our ICE 121 stops at Frankfurt. after that we should take a train to Manheim, to eventually get to Strasburg with a TGV. THIS IS NOT SHOWED ON THE EURAIL TIMETABLE. WE ARE REALLY CONFUSED, we don’t even know what website we should trust, if we should book the train from Manheim to strasbourg or to get a flixbus from Frankfurt to Strasbourg. ANY HELP IS REALLY APPRECIATED THANK UUUUUU😭

Ich mache mit meiner Kollegin unsere erste Interrail Tour. Dabei müssen wir von Lagos nach Sevilla kommen. Dies am 29.08.2024. Wir haben ein 1-monatiger Interrail Pass.Hat jemand Erfahrungen, wie man am besten von Lagos nach Sevilla kommt?

Do you now is it possibile to "improve" my reservation for the Trenitalia INI774 from Roma Termini to Trieste Centrale? I have already booked a 5€ seat, but I would change it with a "Couchette" seat (43€).I have already tried on the “reservation overview” section, but it doesn’t work.

My situation:I have a 100% Trein Vrij subscription on my NS-business card and am wondering how and if it is possible to cross the border from Arnhem via Emmerich (grens/grenze) to Oberhausen and further with only my subscription and a one country pass germany using ICE international. Customer service NS international has no clue. 

Hi. I need your advice. My partner and I are travelling from Germany to France in August. Unfortunately, the German train is often late. That's why I'm worried that we won't be able to change trains from Paris Est to Montparnasse in Paris within an hour. I've reserved seats on the TGV to the South of France for 2 p.m. Now I'm also thinking about reserving the TGV at 4 p.m. in case we can't make the change. Is that possible? I could release the seats at 2 p.m. if we got the train. What do you think? Kind regards, Eva

I’ve seen that the Montparnasse Station in Frane has plattform gates. Do I scan my Interail Ticket on those or my Seat reservations? This might be a dumb question, but I’ve never taken the train in France before and I will have a tighter time frame to switch station so I just want to make sure I know what to do when I arrive.Thank you!

Hello all,I hope someone might help me since I’m lost in online research ;)I want to go to France alone with my two kids (12+8). I’m travelling on four days (Hamburg/Nantes; Nantes/Sainte-Foy-La-Grande; Sainte-Foy-La-Grande/Bordeaux; Bordeaux/Hamburg). So now I’m asking myself whether it’s better to get an Interrail-pass for four days or to book the tickets separately. With the compulsory seat reservation, it can get quite costly, but I have to take fast trains cause it’s already a long travel for my kids.Could anyone advise me how to proceed and make a decision? I already checked SNCF and Deutsche Bahn Websites and they are giving me different prices for the same travels 😅Kind regardsNadia

I want to make a trip, Brussels to Lyon with TGV Brussels - France, and then on to Bellegarde with TER.My question: Can I use a one country pass France for the trip, Brussels to Lyon part dieu?

Hello fellow travelers 👋I'm looking for information regarding my trip from Bruxelles to Bordeaux. I'd be traveling with the One Country Pass for France. My question: is the Thalys train connection Bruxelles-Midi to Paris Nord included in the One Country Pass for France and do I only need to pay for the reservation or do I have to buy a separate ticket which is not the Interrail one? It is a direct connection so I don't know which rule applies. Your help would be appreciated 🙏 

Hello,  I’m looking for some advice. My family and I are interrailing for the first time this month. One part of our trip takes us from Levanto to Tirano (to link up with the Bernina Express) on August 23rd. The journey takes a surprisingly long time for the distance (over 8hrs) and one leg (between Colico and Tirano) is by bus. I just wondered if we were missing something, and if perhaps there is an easier and better way to go about this part of our trip, or anyone knew why we have to travel part of the way by bus..? Any and all advice gratefully received!  Many thanks! Tim 

we missed the night train last night (train announced late and in the end it arrived 1 hour early and was announced only one minute before its arrival at the platform!) in short! we are stuck in Hamburg and impossible to find a train to go to Stockholm: reservation required and full trains. I try to look via the deutsche bahn application but impossible to enter the interrail passes. we are this close to returning to France! can someone help me find a solution? thank you

hello, we are leaving in August and are going to cross Germany. I will have to book the train between Hamburg and Copenhagen on August 19. Is it normal that the reservation fees are 3 euros on OBB and 5.20 euros on bahn.fr? Do you think we can take the risk of making these reservations at the station a few days in advance? Do I have to print the reservations or can the control be done on the smartphone? I read a lot that German trains are always late, if you miss a reserved train, what happens? because on August 19 we leave from Berlin Hamburg (non-reservable) then Hamburg Copenhagen. we will also do Copenhagen Amsterdam on August 25th..so passing through Germany. I ask a lot of questions because this is the first time we will travel by interrail. THANKS

I’ve read a lot about the sleeper train from Zagreb to Split and that it’s not possible to book online. I have emailed the reservation email shared in a different topic thread & will see if they respond. If we make the booking at the Zagreb station will they apply an Interrail discount? I can see couchettes that are available to book online and obviously if Croatian railways don’t recognise the pass then there won’t be a point in waiting till we get to the station. Also - has anyone booked a sleeper car - is there usually availability for these as the carriage map seems to suggest there is only one sleeper carriage anyway. Thanks in advance. 

I bought 4 days eurail pass and this is my first trip to Europe. When I am trying to reserve seat from Paris to Geneva, it says around £102 for 2 kids and 2 adults. But if I check other website then tickets are cheaper for same route and same train. What is the benefit of eurail pass if reservation takes more money than normal ticket.

We are hoping to do 6 weeks in Europe May/June 25. For about 7 of those days/nights we want to travel on trains around the Alps. The plan is to start in Munich late May. Train to Attnang-Puchheim (Austria), on to Stainach-Irdning (maybe overnight stop over in Hallstat). Next stop Innsbruck for 2 nights. Then on to Tirano (Italy) and take one night there. Lastly we would train to Chur (Switzerland), and connect 🤞 back to Munich. Our questions are about what pass to buy, given that we are from Australia, and if all those journeys are covered by the one pass? Also, when should we buy the pass, and more importantly, how far ahead can we book and then reserve seats? We are both over 60.Thank you for even reading this. But we have little understanding of how the system works, and are hoping that our plan is achievable! Denis and Darina 

Hi I have added 2 trips to my pass, which I have not activated yet, would that be the reason I cannot see any tickets.Thanks for any help
