Is it not possible to choose your own seats when booking for italian trains at öbb? I only get an option, that they will make the reservations. /Karina 

I’m finding the app. / website is very confusing to use. Our initial international trip is London to Amsterdam and the app. has defaulted to that being an outward journey but first we need to get from home to London which is an entirely UK based trip … which I don’t appear to be able to book. How do I do this? We won’t need a reservation for the journey so is it okay to just turn up and show our pass QR code, i.e. does every train just accept that as a valid ticket when no reservation is required?

Does anyone know why I can’t add our two night jet trips to the app it just won’t let me add them.  

Can i get from Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport to Lille with a Eurail pass?

Hello, Community!I am fairly far along in planning a family trip to England, France, Germany, and the Netherlands.We have Eurail Global Passes. I have successfully made seat reservations using Rail Europe for journeys between London and Paris, Paris and Bayeux, Bayeux and Paris, Paris and Brussels, Brussels and Cologne.I have two questions.One, how do I add these train rides I have seat reservations for as journeys to My Trip on Rail Planner?Two, How do I book all the other non-seat-reservation journeys? Do I need to go through the individual railways? I’ve looked at getting tickets on the Great Western Railway in England, for example, but I don’t see any way to have the cost of the ticket be covered by my pass.Thank you for sharing your experience and insight with someone new to this adventure!Susan

Hello,I am a first at trying to plan a trip on a train with sister and husband.  I want to delete what I do not want to reserve after entering a few departure times and need to know how.  Our pass in inactive and the entries I am talking about were entered manually.Thank you

Hi. I bought a mobile global pass in the November sale from the myinterrail website. I’m trying to make some seat reservations on Eurostar through this site and although I’ve created an account, I can’t make a reservation. It’s saying I need to be logged in, which I am. Do I need to create a trip first on this website to be able to book reservations? I can’t see how to add my pass. Will anything I book on here link with my Railplanner app? Any help gratefully appreciated! (I don’t want to make the payments on my phone via the app) Thank you

Hi everyoneI’m trying to book seats for the train from Marseille to Madrid on 23 April at 08:04 but interrail website says I cannot do it on the website. I live in Italy and am travelling with a friend so we’d like to book seats at the same time to be together. Before the login interrail website gave it available to book, but then it isn’t. I’m not going to be in Marseille before the 21 April so I should book it in advance, but how?Can I do this in Italy? Or can I do it over the phone with a train company?Thank you!Eleonora

Hello everyone! This upcoming summer I'm going to travel to Aberystwyth in Wales. I want to this by train, because I've always wanted to make such a train journey and I've never visited the UK, outside of London, so I want to enjoy the landscapes a bit more too.It's me first ever train journey, so I've a question.If I buy the Interrail Great Britain Pass, is it allowed to get on the train from Birmingham to Aberystwyth? And do I need to make a reservation for that, or can I just hop on the train? Already thank you for replying. 

Hi. Did a search but couldn’t find an answer. Just bought 1st Interrail pass and planning trip from UK to France & Spain. Made seat reservations online OK for initial UK / France part of holiday. However, can’t make seat reservations online for Spanish part of holiday. We are travelling to 7 Spanish cities and booking accommodation so need to be sure we can reserve train seats / tickets. Can we do this in advance in the UK before we leave or only when we arrive in Spain which seems a bit risky as we will have already booked accommodation? Please advise the best way to do this. many thanks in advance.

I bought an Interrail global pass (for my 4-person family) to travel from Rotterdam to Barcelona by train. However it now seems to me that it is impossible to make the seat reservations on the dates we want to travel.I use https://www.raileurope.com/en to plan for the full trip or for the trip in parts. However it repeats to says that “rail pass doesn't apply for this trip".Does this mean that I cannot make the trip on the date that I wanted to?This would mean that I cannot use the Interrail card and I have bought it for nothing?Anyone who can help me out to find a way to travel from Rotterdam to Barcelona on April 28th or April 29th?

Kann man mit einem "Interrail-4-tagespass in einem monat" (für ein bestimmtes land) öfters in das jeweilige Land ein-  und ausreisen, oder darf man nur einmal ein-, und einmal ausreisen? 

Hi,Trying to book 3 seats for 9.01 (0r 8.34) it changes!, for Saturday 19th July from London St Pancras to Salzburg. I am desperate to start reserving seats as mum going Interrailing for 3 weeks with my teenage girls and want to get it all confirmed. I realise the final two parts of the journey on German trains are (I think) not available to book yet.But tried to book first leg of journey (London to Brussels Midi and Brussels Midi to Frankfurt), remembering to reserve seats, and it all goes through until payment. Then will not let me, says error with part of journey.Is it just that the seats are still not available to book yet? I don't want it to fill up. I also tried to book our journey home 3 weeks later on Friday 9th August, overnight Nightjet train from Vienna to London and similar thing happened, this was on the OBB website using Method 1 (as explained on Man in seat 61, a life saver for many!)I would be grateful for any reassurance!

Hi everyone. The Interrail/Eurail website has consistently been telling me that reservations for this service open 90 days prior to travel date, in my case 22 October. Reservations therefore ‘opened’ a couple of days ago yet the only option I am given on Interrail is a second class seat and, on OBB, the option to reserve a section of the seating compartment. From others’ knowledge and experience, will the sleeping berths have sold out, which seems increasingly likely as tickets look like they’ve been available on OBB for months! If this is the case then the reservations section on the Interrail website contains misleading information. Many thanks Richard

We are planning to travel in May some days from The Netherlands to Paris to Barcelona and back.We can't seem to find what is the most handiest way to travelWe don't see much difference with 1st and 2nd class? Probably for such long er trips there will always come a space available, so is it really neccesary to reserve spots? Would a 4 days pass be enough to do our travel?

I have the 10 days in 2 months promo pass, and the last Activation date is June 1st. (and the last day of travel is July 31st).  I would prefer to use my travel days in late June / early July. Is there any way to activate the pass for June 1st, but not have the first travel day until mid June? Or would I have to ‘sacrifice’ one of my 10 days to show a (fake) journey on 1st June?  

Hi Interrailers (and hopefully Interrail customer service)Not a happy bunny – been planning a trip starting in May (10 days, theoretically over 2 months) and most of the planning hinges on the Nightjet from Paris to Berlin (or Vienna).The Eurail/Interrail app clearly states, in red letters, “Prices for this journey will start to be available 90 days before departure”.OK, so i checked out the departure on 27 April, to see what changed when the date came within that 90-day window. At midnight plus one nanosecond, then every few minutes.No prices available.So i checked on the ÖBB Nightjet website and what do i see? “Seats can usually be booked 180 days in advance”. And indeed when you try their booking engine, it allows you to specify any date 180 days from now.Result: there is zero availability from May onwards. Zero.If it weren’t for the notice in red letters on the Eurail/Interrail app i might have had a chance of getting a Nightjet reservation to somewhere. As it stands, hours and hou

Hello! I have a question about the Eurail Global Pass! I am planning to use the Eurail Global Pass for 10 days starting Feb 2. However, when I made my reservation I mistyped my name with two capital letters "TOmohiro" instead of "Tomohiro". Will this interfere with my use of Eurail in Europe?

End of March I’m on a fast trip to southern Italy. One possible route takes the Inoui 2369 from Paris Gare de l’Est to Strasbourg and then connects to the TER 96225 down to Basel but this only gives a14 min connection time (at 15:40 on a Wed afternoon). The INOUI are pretty prompt but I’m not familiar with Strasbourg statation. Is this too tight? There are no later trains if I take this route! 

Hi All, We have some queries regarding Euro Rail. How do we activate this Pass?  Can we travel on the local trains within the city by this ticket? If I have to book seats, do I need to book it on the regional train websites ?

We will be based in Florence, Italy for 14 days and want to go to a few other cities for a day or two. Thinking about Vienna, Venice and Paris or Munich.  We want to know the best way to get to them by train.

Hi !I’m going to travel for the first time with an interrail pass : from France to Stockholm, Narvik, the down the norwegian coast to Oslo and Copenhagen. Departure on feB 17th.I bought the pass in november and installed it on my mobile but the phone broke. I bought a new one, evereything seemed  fine so I installed the app and transfered my pass. But then, after a few days, I do not have a connection anymore : neither by the SIM card, nor the 4/5G.The pass is still not activated.Could I transfer it again to another phone, given that it’s not activated yet ? I read can you can only transfer once but I don’t know if it only applies when the pass is activated…Starting to get a bit anxious about it…Thanks !Franck.
