How to drive alone in a three-seater sleeper cabin?Let’s say a train from Warsaw to Munich (I don’t know why it’s so cheap, from Padova to Vienna it’s 500 km but it costs the same) and this train leaves at 7 pm from Warsaw and at 10 am to Munich, if you buy a ticket for yourself with an interrail ticket and Also, for example, tickets for travel to 1 station, is it possible that people will not be able to reserve an entire route and no one will join me?But for some reason the ticket is not available for booking even for one station

The booking system of the Hungarian Railways (MAV) is driving me crazy. Does anyone have any idea how to fill in the “floor/door” field correctly? I've tried every conceivable variant in German (Erdgeschoss), English (first floor) and even Hungarian (1. emelet) with upper and lower case - without success. Each time the following error message appears: “The floor / door field value must be entered in door / floor format.” If you leave the field blank, you will not get any further. And after a while you have to start the booking process all over again. Any advice appreciated!!! 

Hello,I will be travelling this summer with an Interrail pass. A friend will be joining me from Hirtshals to Hamburg, she won’t have a pass. So I need to buy a seat reservation for the ICE between Kolding and Hamburg plus a full ticket from Hirsthals to Hamburg.What is the easiest way to get 2 seats side by side ? I tried DB web site but I did not find how I could buy at the same time a ticket and an additional seat. We will be arriving in Hirtshals with the ferry at 8.00 am. I read that the train station is not really close to the ferry terminal. What do you think the transfer time should be ? We could board the 8.50 train to Aaalborg but I wonder if that’s feasible.Thank you for sharing your experience !

Hi, I need to make reservations for these below 2 rides. But I am not traveling with my laptop. How can I book them over the phone? One of them is tomorrow. Please guide me.  

The train timetables on Interrail.eu do not match the SNCF timetables.  We have made reservations on the Interrail site for 5 SNCF journeys.  In all 5 cases the time given on the reservation ticket is one hour later than the time on the actual SNCF timetable even though the train number is the same.  If we turn up at the correct time (i.e. one hour earlier than it says on the ticket) will our reservation be valid? Has anyone else had this problem

We are planning on traveling from Nice to London however there a part of the travel that requires transfer by public transportation from Paris Gare De Lyon with allotted time of 1 hr 10 minutes to Paris Nord  what does that mean and what do we need to do? Is that public transportation included in our fare? Does anyone know what this could be? Thanks a ton for the help In advance! 

iI’m planning an interrailing trip for summer (July & August) 2024. I was just wondering whether I should book all my hostels before going or just wait and see or will this be expensive/booked up? What if I decide to leave a place a day earlier than planned and then that messes all the hostel reservations up or is this not possible? And should I just book my flight home whilst I’m there in case I add places onto the end or will it be really expensive?

Following an advice in another topic I started to look for my route from Timosoara (Romania) to Sofia (Bulgaria) on 22 July. But the website of Bulgarian Railways BDZ gives no trains crossing the border at Vidin nor at Ruse. I tried all small stations in between, also Sofia Sever, hoping I could get on a bus from there, but to no avail. To be clear: I checked the time tables for domestic trains, not the ticketing part, because I know tickets can be bought starting 2 months before the travel date. The time tables gives options upto 8 June, so just 6 weeks in advance, after that ‘no trains found'. Am I too impatient?Yes, I know there are repairworks ongoing (there's an article about it on this website: https://eurail.zendesk.com/hc/en-001/articles/18362820269469-Construction-works-at-Sofia-Central-Bulgaria-till-Aug-2025 ), but when I check on the BDZ website for international travel, they do give time tables from Bucharest (border Ruse) and Craiova (border Vidin). Probably I'm looking at

I'll be travelling for a little over a month (33 days) from Rotterdam to Varna (Bulgaria), with many stops in between. From Budapest onwards, the app shows there are only 2nd class seats, so buying a 1st class pass doesn't seem useful. But from home to Budapest there are 1st class seats, and I'd like to use them. Is it possible to buy a 2nd class Global Pass with supplements for 1st from Rotterdam to Budapest with a stopover of 2 nights in Gyor? 

I am traveling with my family to Italy with Interrail passes on the 24th of May this year. One of our legs is the high speed ICE train from Hamburg Hbf to Munich Hbf. Unlike the other legs on our journey, this one has worried me a lot. Partly because of the track work happening between Göttingen and Kassel, but also the allegedly alarming rates of delay this particular route, somtimes up to over 100 minutes. It is also an overnight train. We have another train to catch in Munich, going to Venice, but if the high speed train arrives on time, we have 90 minutes to spare before the next connection.Has someone had any experience with this route before and if yes, should I be concerned about this?

Hi, we are a family of four (2 adults, and 2 eleven year old kids). We have Eurail 2nd class passes. We are staying in Hillegom, Netherlands and then want to go to London on August 14th.  I know Rotterdam is on the route so I have looked at Hillegom to Rotterdam and then Rotterdam to London. I have also looked at Amsterdam as a departing station as well.  I see that Eurostar stops doing direct Amsterdam-London routes in mid-June. Is this typical? It looks like everyting goes through Brussels with a 1 hr 15 min to 2 hr 15 min changeover. Given that we already have to change trains twice to go from Hillegom to Rotterdam, I was trying to avoid the number of train changeovers (and cost of 2 separate reservations).  Any suggestions? I’m surprised that they would stop offering direct routes in the summer when more people travel.  Thank you.

Hi. In short, we are trying to figure out if we will have enough time to Transfer Trains in Brussels. (Bruxelles Midi).We will be changing Trains in Brussels - on our way from Ghent to Luxembourg, ultimately to Trier.One of the possible routes shows ICE Trains coming into Brussels on Platform 7. We would then transfer to Platform 10, for the next leg to Luxembourg. There is less than 10 minutes between the two trains. We are hoping that Platform 7 is close to Platform 10. Without a Station Map, it is hard to determine the distance. We will both have a rolling suitcase. One of us has a slight back issue. We can walk, but we are not fast (or power) walkers. If anyone has been to Brussel Zuid (Bruxelles Midi) can you tells us how far apart the Platforms are? Is 7-8 minutes enough time to get from Platform 7 to Platform 10? We have heard that the Tickets will be good for the full day. So, worst case scenario, if we miss the Train (that is 7 minutes between), there should be another one aft

hi :)we are travelling from interlaken to brussels on 22 july (leaving 08:30). we want to take the 11:13 from basel to köln as part of this – currently we don’t seem to be able to book seat reservations anywhere for this but I saw another post saying not to worry about this and just check later… my question is just whether seat reservations are compulsory for this section, and if not, are they recommended (family of 5)? we already have reservations for köln to bruxelles midi (17:41 if i remember right), and I assume within switzerland it’s fine not to reserve seats?also the interrail journey planner is being weird with this – it says to take the 11:06 to basel bad (ICE 74 to berlin) then change to the 11:22 to köln (ICE 2258 to hamburg)… other places say the ICE 2258 goes from basel sbb so i’m assuming that’s finethank you, and sorry if this has already been discussed before!!ru xp.s. i know it’s faster to go via paris but we wanted to avoid there

Hi,I wonder if anyone knows if it is crucial or probably ok not to list the *exact* right S-Bahn train in Germany for local travel? I will spend the weekend in a city where the S-Bahn is convenient to get to our hotel so will use my pass for that. However there are loads of different S-Bahns going from the Hauptbahnhof every 2-3 minutes, so I’m just wondering how crucial it is that I manage to see if it’s S1 or S2 or S3 or whatever, then log that on my pass and activate it before I enter the train..? Or would any S-Bahn train listed be ok to activate even if I happen to go the two stops on another one..?Thanks for any advice!

I’m planning a summer (July & August) interrailing trip. So far we have Paris, Brussels, Berlin, Prague, Krakow, Vienna, Budapest and then we wanted to visit Split, Ljubljana and maybe Venice. Split seems quite hard to get to and from. We don’t mind visiting Zagreb but would we have to do this on the way there and back? Is there a sleeper train from Budapest to Split? How would you suggest we visit these places and is there anywhere else we should visit nearby?

Hi, Have purchased a flexi Eurail Pass. Our travel plan is Budapest-Vienna-Innsbruck-Salzburg-Prague. Am having a problem with getting a seat reservation on the Salzburg Prague leg. The 10.22 am Exp Express has a change in Linz. Salzburg to Linz reservation is available but for Linz - Prague sector it says ‘ ticket only for one section’ .  How do I reserve seats for the Linz - Prague sector.

Im non European but my kids are European age 4-11 . they also have non -european passports. We all live out of Europea. How can I buy passes for us? interails or eurails? Can I just buy eurail for all of us? Thanks so much for your help!

I have a Eurail Pass and booked a Reservation and it has myself and my partner sitting nowhere near each other. I have seen questions here about changing seats and no one has a good answer. You can’t tell me that we are expected to travel around Europe on a Pass we bought for travelling together not sitting with each other??? That is not acceptable and no one should think it is.  

Hi, I'm in my second day of a 7-day travel pass. The Rail Planner App is not working, the issue is the same that happend to Tarek here https://community.eurail.com/eurail-interrail-passes-41/mobile-pass-disappeared-completely-771 but his solution it's not working for me. I've sent emails to support but anyone is answering. The mobile pass doesn't shows in the app section and that section requests me to add a pass. When I do the proper steps, the app says me that the mobile pass has been added in this phone and I can check it in the app section. It's a loop: when I go back, the pass stills missing. Any idea?
