Just wonder what happens if I buy a pass and because I miss a connection (no my fault), my trip hope is on the day after my pass expired. E.g. I have a 5 day Global Pass and wanna travel from England to Southern Germany where I live. Due to delays I only make it to Paris on Day 5, so what to do on Day 6 for the trip from Paris to Southern Germany? Buy a new single trip ticket or is the Global Pass extended for the trip home because of the delay?

Hello! I live in the UK. I am hoping to buy a one month global pass (5 journeys) and use it at the start of the month for 3 train journeys in Sweden and Norway (not travelling there by train). I then want to use the remaining 2 journeys for a weekend in Paris at the end if the month on eurostar, travelling from London, so my home country. This will mean my inbound and outbound journeys will come after my 3 other journeys. Is this allowed? Thanks! 

Good evening, I'm looking at travelling on the EC 135 from Trieste to Ljubljana Central 22/04/2023, the travel planner states I need to pay a supplementary fee. is this payed onboard or at the station.  Cheers.

We bought a 10-days (paper)pass for february and march, but the trip didn’t went as planned, due to the strikes in France. Instead of travelling back in 4 days to Denmark (we had a deadline because of work) from Spain via France and Germany we flew to Berlin and took the train home from there. So now we have 3 days left, but used our in- and outbound travel already.Any suggestions how we can use the last 3 travelling days, without spending a fortune for getting out and in to DK to use the pass in neighbouring countries? If I’m not mistaken, there is no way to get a refund or change of passes. Though it would be really nice, if we could use the rest of the days in DK or at least in and out DK included.Thank you in advance.

I have read previous chats on booking seats on this journey, but those chats were over a year ago.we are a couple with 3 mth Eurail pass.can you book a reserved seat for the Zagreb to Split train on 13 June 2024 departing Zagreb in the morning 0707 arriving Split 1400.if so where (train company/app) and how do I do this? thanks jon

Good evening,I booked a seat reservation through Eurail, I have a global 15 day pass. Entered in all the information, payed. I was allocated seat 21 and my wife seat 24. No choice of seats was given, is this normal when booking seat reservation via Eurail. Cheers. 

If I buy a 4 day travel pass AND I have activated it/used the first day, do I have to use the pass every time I travel during that period? (Would I have to use a travel day every time I travel on one of the trains during the activation period?) Or could I still buy a single use ticket for a particular day and save the remaining travel pass days for future use? This might happen if I want to take a quick regional train where a ticket would be inexpensive, so it might make sense to save the travel days for a longer more expensive trip. thanks

Hi, I have made seats reservation on raileurope and received the tickets, but upon entering the reference number on SNCF site, they directed me to SNCF Voyageurs site, and told me that “Your ticket could not be imported.

Good morning,I have just purchased 2 x 15 day Eurail passes.  I have added them to my phone, but not activated them.  When I checked my first journey, there was not tick box or slide to add the journey to the pass. Will this become available Once I have activated the pass? And secondly, I not due to travel for a month, can I activate my pass to test, then deactivate it?Thanks. Adam  

Hello! I’m new here and have a few questions on how this eurail works. 😅We’re flying into Lisbon and traveling to Lagos and then Porto and then over to Barcelona. We have to get the global eurail pass since we’re traveling between two countries, correct? How do we choose the ‘high speed train’ or ‘AVE’ in order to shorten our travel time? We essentially need to choose enough travel days for our pass in order to cover every day we take the train, correct? The days we use the train twice in one day will only count as 1 travel day. And the days we stay put and don’t use a train, we won’t need a travel day for? Thank you so much for you help!!! 

Dear travelers,  After a good experience last year me and my family will be travelling by train (interrail) again this year. We plan to travel from Utrecht to Wien by Nightjet 40421 on the 7th of juli. I want to book a couchette for 4 persons in the Nightjet, but somehow I also have to pay 39,60 euro for Sparscheine Komfort. If I remember correctly I didn't have to pay that last year, just the reservation for the couchette and the extra amount for 4 persons. Does anyone here know why that is? Because of the Euro 2024? Thanks in advance for information!

Hi, just wanted to check if anyone here has used the Eurail pass to travel from Edinburgh - Frankfurt/Mannheim I am considering between 3 optionsOption 1:0540 - 0940 Edinburgh - London(1h 24min transfer & check in)1104 - 1405 London - Brussels1425 - 1740 Brussels - Frankfurt Option 2:0540 - 0940 Edinburgh - London(1h 51min transfer & check in)1131 - 1453 London - Paris1555 - 1826 Paris to Karlsruhe1826 - 1958 Karlsruhe to Frankfurt Option 3:0540 - 0940 Edinburgh - London(1h 51min transfer & check in)1131 - 1453 London - Paris1709 - 2059 Paris - Frankfurt There will be extra seat reservations if I travel via Paris. I am keen to travel via Brussels, but am afraid of the “short’ transfer time given that I am travelling out of UK (security and customs check). I’m also quite afraid that the ICE train at Brussels would be delayed/cancelled as it seems quite common upon checking the train history. What do you think? Which option would you choose? Let me know!

Hi there! I’m from Argentina. I just got a pass for 5 days in may. I’m starting from Switzerland and need to travel to Ghent Belgium afterwards. I tried googling and searching but couldn’t find out what is the best way to get there. Is Google Maps public transport mode reliable? Because it tells me to do like 5 combinations, is there no direct way from one country to another?Besides this case, how can I know, for each city, which trains and destinations are available?Also, if I understand well, the pass doesn’t guarantee any seats, right? So if I don’t reserve seats and the train is full I lose it or travel standing up?Sorry I am really lost, if anyone could point me to some useful articles I would be really grateful.
