Hi, I'm an idiot- I just bought a month pass but have just realised I only need a 22 day pass. Im travelling on a tight budget, is there anyway I can switch to a 22 day pass and get a refund for the difference?

Hello all,Hoping to get some recommendations on the best routes for “efficiency”I am planning a 2 week trip from Paris to Prague, middle of July, focusing on Scandinavia.I don’t mind long train rides, even almost everyday - trying to hit most of the highlights.Will have time for some hikes I hope - which should I not miss (in Norway, I imagine)?How far in advance do I need to make reservations? Is 1st and 2nd class reservations the same price? Is there more availability in 1st class? (I am contemplating getting the 1st class pass)Can I count on wifi working on all trains?

Hi all, I am travelling between Copenhagen and Gothenburg, and then Gothenburg to Oslo, but the rail planner on the interail website doesn’t hold information for the trains I have found on the countries respective rail booking websites (Sweden and Norway). I want to know if I have to reserve seats on these routes, but also don’t seem to be able to find out on the other websites. anyone know how to reserve seats on these routes? thanks

Hi,looking at possible  morning trains  Tuesday 23rd July Salzburg to Bad Goisern. Lots of trains available on ÖBB site, but many say the interrail   ticket is only valid for section of the journey . Will my interail ticket be valid on this journey? Assuming this is referring to something else, not interail tickets.  Many thanks, Melanie 

I had purchased 10 days global pass for travelling in early June. However based on my current itinerary, I will not need 10 days pass and want to exchange and reduced to 5 or 7 days pass. I understand for exchange there is nominal fees of EUR15. but i do not find link or process on how can i proceed with this exchange. Can someone guide on it. Also I presume after deducting EUR15, i would be able to get full refund for day difference right?

Eurail website says Interlaken to Zermatt train is covered, and suggests to choose Eurail Pass under “reduction”. However, the reduction dropdown doesn't show the option Eurail pass. Am i doing it wrong? Does Eurail global work at all for this route?

Traveling from the US to Italy and Germany next month. Purchased a 4-day pass and have already saved my itinerary. I read that it's best not to activate your pass until you actually arrive in Europe since it can't be refunded once activated (just in case something happens last minute and the trip has to be cancelled) but I was wondering how far in advance I should be buying seat reservations?Some of the trains I've picked require them but most are just recommended. I assume I should not wait until I land in Italy to buy them since the could possibly sell out.Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Obviously demand is high this time of year but there seems to be zero availability from August 12 onwards (all the way into September and October as well) for the Nightjet from Vienna to Brussels. Any ideas?

Hello! I booked a 5 day global pass for my family to which I have one day set aside to go from Milan Central to Varenna to visit lake como.  When looking up the route on the eurail site it states that these trains dont require set reservations but when I go to the Trenitalia sitte directly it gives me the option to purchase tickets and for a specific train ride and to purchase with a credit card which means I am not using my day I had set aside on my global pass.  I want to use 1 day out of the 5 I have to book these tickets. How do I do that through eurail?  Is there a way to book the tickets through the Trenitalia site using my family’s eurail pass #s without having to purchase tickets on a credit card?  Or with eurrail is the only way I have to book tickets is to go to the station during our trip?  I would prefer to purchase the tickets now vs risk trying to get during my trip.  Any suggestions or instructions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi There!I am checking the train timetable to travel from Athens Greece to Patra Greece using Eurail global pass on Aug 11, 24 and it shows  "can't find any train to match".  I tried different dates, I got the same results.I also have tried Athens to Kiato and got the same results.  So, I am confused.  I am just trying to get to Patras and get on the Ferry to go to Bai, Italy.  How do I get from Athens to the Ferry at Patras ?Please help.

I am trying to see if I can reserve a Eurostar seat for use with an Interrail card (which I haven’t bought yet). On the drop-down menu, the Interrail option is surrounded by a red outline when I select it. If I select the Eurail one it lets me proceed. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Hi all.I am a newbie to EURail and the Rail Planner App.I like to know if I can add a journey to my mobile pass if my pass has not been activated yet.Please advise.Thanks.T Tan

OK, so next issue I see travelling from Tirano to Milan weekend of 19/07/2024 - I go to book Trenord for train from Tirano to Milan morning of the 20th July - cannot see any train schedule. Train schedule stops 08/07/2024.I check https://valtellinamobile.it/lavori-ferrovia-milano-tirano/ for disruptions etc and it translates to the below:The dates of the train block in 2024 and 2025 on the Lecco – Tirano lineLECCO – TIRANO and COLICO – SONDRIO – TIRANOPreparatory works for the 2026 Olympics 9 June 2024 – 8 September 2024 (90 day line interruption.LECCO – TIRANO and LECCO – COLICOPreparatory works for the 2026 Olympics June 2025 – September 2025 (90 day line interruption).Does this mean that line from Tirano to Milan on Trenord will not be running?Will it be diverted to a different route?Help appreciated - did not expect to strike issues in Switzerland over this time but I guess everything is geared for winter season perhaps? (hence Olympics?)

I’m trying to book a train from Berlin to Gdynia (a journey with RE1 then EC59 connection) on the DB website. In the journey details, it says that the EC59 requires compulsory reservation. However, when I’m trying to continue with the booking, this error message popped up: “Reservation cannot be madeUnfortunately, a reservation is not possible for this connection. Due to compulsory reservation, a booking is therefore not possible. Please choose another connection.”so I cannot do the booking. Can someone help me on how to book tickets for this journey online? It’s stressing me out haha. 

I'm planning a train trip England to France using Interrail, in about in a months time. I've made all the seat reservations and paid the supplements, but I cannot see the tickets or where to find them and they have not been emailed to me. I've downloaded the payment confirmation. However I have received the tickets for Eurostar and successfully printed them and downloaded them. But where are the other tickets?

Hello,je voudrais savoir si vous avez l’expérience en voyage familial avec ce pass.Je souhaiterais partir mi-décembre avec mes deux enfants bas âge (5-7) de France, région La Rochelle à Budapest Hongrie et je ne comprends pas trop ce pass: si je l’achète pour une durée de 4 jours / mois (dans ce cas, c’est de 250€) je peux faire les trajets ce que je veux pendant ces 4 jours ? Ils ont noté qqpart que j’aurais même pas besoin d’acheter les billets, mais quand-même la réservation doit être faite sur un site internet, non? Comment ça se passe, cette réservation? Il faut tout faire sur le site d’Interrail? Dans mon cas, notre voyage se fait avec qq escales; La Rochelle - Paris - Augsburg (ou Vienne) - Budapest. Je peux utiliser ce pass en France pour un trajet qui ne quitte pas directement le pays?Merci d’avance pour les réponses!Zoltan.

Hi, I’m planning a trip for this summer and I want to be sure i understood how to count days when moving during the night. i’m planning to be in Amsterdam and then my plans are to visit Rotterdam in a day and then move to Berlin. So, if i go from Amsterdam to Rotterdam in the morning, then go back to Amsterdam in the afternoon and from here take a train to Berlin (a train leaving before midnight and arriving in the morning) all in the same day, will it count as one or two days of trip for the pass?

Hi,I’ve been trying to reserve seats for my wife and I on EN 40476 from Budapest to Berlin in late July and haven’t had much luck.I first saw a recommendation to book this via oebb.at. I can book a combined ticket/reservation through that website, but if I search for reservations only, the website indicates “Ticket not available”. It’s a similar story with cd.cz and MAV -- it looks like they’ll happily sell me a pair of tickets but separate reservations aren’t available. Things get even weirder if I try to book it through the Eurail website directly. If I search for tickets for the two of us, I only see two options -- the seating compartment (ouch) and 2x single sleeper cabins ($$$).  However, if I search for a ticket for one of us, I see all of the expected seat types.These prices seem pretty high, but they are quite a bit less than the full ticket prices via oebb / MAV, so I guess this is just what a reservation costs? But regardless, I have no idea why I wouldn’t be able to choose a

Hello! First time user of this great website.  I live in the USA and will be visiting Switzerland and Germany next month (June) for the first time.  I am also going to ride trains from city to city in Europe for the first time and hope to get some good advice on whether I should buy individual tickets (in advance) or a Eurail flexi pass.After my group tour ends in Bern, Switzerland, my friend and I will need to take trains as follows.  I have included what I think is the price for each ticket based on my online research today:6/20: Bern to Zurich, spend a couple of hours in Zurich  €26.506/20: Zurich to Munich  €57.906/22: Munich to Strasbourg, France  €57.806/24: Strasbourg to Baden-Baden, stop for lunch, then Baden-Baden to Heidelberg  ~ €446/26: Heidelberg to Frankfurt  ~ €22 We will be on trains on four different days, so a four-day Eurail flexi pass would be the choice if we buy passes.  We’re over age 60, so with the senior discount, the four-day pass is €255.And based on the pri

Hi. I want to book seats for 12:03 TGV9210 on 16/6. I cannot find where to enter our EURAIL pass numbers on the SNCF Connect page. Am I missing something or is there a better site to use? Thank you once again. 

We have Global Passes for travel in Germany and Switzerland later this summer. When I try to buy seat reservations for the Chur to Zermatt segment of our trip, the online system keeps trying to make me buy new tickets rather than just paying for seat reservations. What am I doing wrong?

Hello,Premier voyage avec Interail et pour des raisons de santé je ne vais pas pouvoir effectuer le trip prévu (bye bye la Norvège). J’avais effectué des réservations (c’est pas grave si je perds le prix de celles-ci) mais ma question c’est est-ce que je peux réserver un autre train le même jour que celui lors duquel je devais partir. En gros je devais partir le 23 juin à Hambourg depuis la Suisse (place réservée) mais en fait je vais aller en France de jour-là.En sachant que je n’ai pas encore activé l’application sur mon téléphone. Merci pour vos lanternesLaure
