Solved

I have several train journeys planned in June and July, through Belgium, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Czech republic.Most of the trips which include train changes, are shown on the journey planner, can I assume one ticket for these. I have had to add some manually, one especially involves 4 trains. Do I have to add each train separately, so they can be activated on the day

In august I am planning a trip with 11 years old son. I am not experienced with Eurail pass and now try to compare what is cheaper for us - Eurail or regular tickets. Lets say our route is the following: Lisbon - PortoToulouse - MontpellierMontpellier - MarseilleMarseille - NiceEURAIL PASS. 4 days global pass for adult is 181 EUR (including spring discount) and free of charge for my son. But then as I understand we will need at least 4 days x 2 people x 12 EUR = 96 EUR for seat reservations. Do I correctly understand it? If yes, then the totals for us for this route would be close to 300 EUR. SEPARATE TICKETS. If we purchase separate tickets directly, it will cost us approx. 80+45+45+60=231 EUR.From these calculations it seems that Eurail pass is not a good option for our trip. Is it really so or maybe I miss to understand something about this pass? Maybe our one day transfers are too short for it t pay off? 

Hello everyone.  I’m a first time traveler to Europe and will be taking my family this summer.  We will be traveling by train between some of our destinations and I’m trying to figure out if getting an Eurail pass is 100% necessary.  I looked on the Eurail site and the 4-day travel pass ranges from $928 (2nd class) to $1178 (1st class) for a family of 4.   We will need to take a train between the following cities:Rome → Venice (round trip over 2 separate days)Zurich or Bern → Paris (1 day)Paris → London (1 day)My questions:Is it worth the amount of money for the pass for the month we will be in Europe? If I do not get the Eurail pass, will my overall spend be less?  What I mean by this is will the difference in purchasing the tickets without the Eurail pass be more cost effective? Are there any monetary advantages of buying a Eurail pass or is it more for convenience/flexibility?  Thank you very much! 

I work in France  and have been living in france from last 5 years but I am not a European citizen . Which Pass should I buy . Is it Eurail or interrail Pass ? 

Hello, When I try to search direct train from Brussel to Munich it is showing OBB train which required seat reservation. But when click on reservation using Eurail pass it is not showing price and can’t reserve it even from OBB website as it shows No offers available in OBB website. I tried it to book for 27th Apr. also check for mid of Mar which is next week but it shows same. Please help me to understand why it is showing as reservation required with price as NA and we can’t reserve online?    

We purchased a 5 day Eurail pass in February 2024 . We have to cancel our March trip due to my broken foot. How long will our pass be valid?  We are postponing our travels until October 2024. ‘Thanks for any help!

Hello, I am planning to travel by train ICE 9568 Frankfurt HBF - Paris Set on 18 July 2024. On the interrail website it says that the sale of reservations starts up to 90 days in advance and costs from 19€, when I looked on DB (bahn.de) the reservation for this train comes out here at 4,90€. So can I buy this ticket and will it be enough if I have an Interrail ticket or should I wait and buy 90 days in advance for 19€, or is there somewhere else to buy a ticket for this train? Thanks for the answer. 

how much time do you need to allow between trains? I have heard trains can run late. Is 30 minutes generally enough time, or trains can run later than that? The specific location is Brussels, if that makes any difference in regard to time between trains and the reason I am asking this question. And what happens if you miss your next train/connection? 

I would like to know if there is a way to tell the right and left sides of the train on a seat map. I am travelling from Innsbruck to Bologna on an EC train (EC83) in April this year. I’ve found that I can choose seats from a map if I use the OBB website, but it’s not clear which is the front of the train. I’ve read that the views are better on the RHS. Thank you.

I'm trying to book IC 523 from Zagreb to Split for Apr 29 but it shows up in my pass as May 1. Need some help, thanks.

First time Interrail user here, so be patient!I'm trying to get from Angouleme to Strasbourg by TGV on 25th May, as part of a long journey to Salzburg in Austria. It seems that seat reservations are required but they are showing as unavailable. Looking at other posts on here, it seems that this isn't uncommon for TGVs, and the seats are likely to be released nearer the time. Being only 10 weeks or so away, I'm getting sweaty palms because it's my last day of pass validity and I need to get back to Salzburg that day.My originally planned travel option (from Angouleme to Paris Montparnasse) won't work, because the train I need to catch on that day is not available to pass holders. Any thoughts on whether the reservations will become available before I need to travel, or should I totally review my options? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi everyone, I’m currently trying to figure out what would be more viable to get from the U.K. to Amsterdam. I’ve looked at the global pass for 5 days, as we will be travelling via train into Amsterdam from just outside it most days. Can the global pass be used to get to london from elsewhere in the UK, catch the Eurostar, and get to our accommodation just outside Amsterdam, and then do the reverse on the way back (provided we have the necessary amount of travel days left to use)? Given we’ll be travelling via train most of the time there anyway it seems like a pass might be more budget friendly than getting a flight there and back then buying train tickets every day.

If I book a seat reservation for a train from Germany to Paris for July 26 but then later decide I do not need this reservation, do I lose one of my travel days? I have a 5 day 1 month global Eurail pass. This particular route requires a seat reservation. Also, question along the same liines - if I book a train to another destination but don’t need a seat reservation and then I want to cancel that train, will it also use one of my days? Or cancellations don’t matter and the only thing that uses a day is when you actually travel? Thanks!

Bonjour,je vais en Bulgarie (SOFIA) en Aout 2024 et selon le simulateur de trajet j’en aurai pour un peuplus de 2 jours seulement pour l’aller (le retour se fera trois semaines plus tard)Ma question est la suivante, QUEL PASS DOIS-JE PRENDRE ?Le pass 5 jours me semble le plus adapté mais est-ce qu’une fois activé au début de mon voyage, il estencore possible de l’utiliser trois semaines plus tard si je n’ai pas voyagé pendant 5 jours ?Il me semble avoir compris que même si j’avais le pass, certains trains doivent être payés et réservés (mais ils sont moins chers)Dernière question : comme je fais un aller-retour en BULGARIE, n’y a-t-il pas une option justeconcernant ce pays ? Cela m’évitera de payer un pass « EUROPE » alors que je vais seulement là-bas.Merci pour votre aide

Hi,we would like to take the EN 346 from Hamburg to Stockholm on May 20th. It can currently only be booked on SJ.se until around April 8th; it is not yet available for later dates. But you can get it from Interrail for May 20th.However, the only options here are:Bed in sleeper 2nd classBed in couchette 2 classSeat 2 class At the SJ you can book your own compartment for two people and that's what we want as a couple (f/m). Do you also get this if you book two reservations on Interrail with the first option "Bed in sleeper 2 class"? Or are beds perhaps reserved in two different compartments?I would still wait, but I'm a little afraid that I'll miss the time when it can be booked with SJ (which would have to be around mid-April) and we won't get any places.Regards, Christian

Good morning, I received an alert this morning that TGV tickets were available for the dates I need. However for the 2nd  June I can’t see the train I want on the Rail Europe site or the SNCf site. Screengrab attached shows the 10.45am on the Rail Planner app. Is this train not on sale yet or is it not running? Thank you.

I am trying to reserve a room on OBB Nightjet from Milan to Vienna on 6/24 for all 4 of us, yet the OBB website shows tickets not available; I was under an impression that it can only be booked 90 days before, then saw it on the OBB website that it can be booked 180 days ahead, not sure what to do, can anyone provide me some suggestions?? Thanks

Hoping to reserve a return trip from Munich-Fussen-Munich with a Eurail Global Pass.Is it possible to do this via DB (as I cannot do it on Eurail). I can find the journey on DB but am unable to add my pass?

For this journey on my Global Eurail Pass I get the error message ‘Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again later or find another connection. This connection will be removed from your cart.’ Even if I change the date to closer or later I am still getting this message!

(knowing that our pass is valid for the entire month of August)What is an outbound or inbound journey? (interrail.eu) this link seems to say no, however it is possible to enter the last train on the application.sorry for my poor english (I’m french) and thank you in advance for your answers. Regards,  Roméo 

When planning my trip I have a pass for myself and a child’s pass (free) for my daughter who will be under 12 the entire time. My question is, how do I do travel planning so that we are both on the same trips and seated together?  Do I have to essentially put her in her own trip and manually duplicate everything and just watch seating charts?

I just purchased a Eurail pass, but for some reason, I can’t find if there is an app to go with it.  If not, how do I use it?
