Solved

I’m trying to book Eurostar seat reservations back to UK for the end of our trip. We were hoping to come back from Brussels but there seems to be nothing available at all around the two weeks of 25/8/24. Have all those interrail seats already gone or do we think they’ve not been released yet?

HiWe are doing train travel across Europe from 19 Feb to 9 Mar 24.  We have bought Eurail global pass on first class. We will have at least one big suitcase 20-30kg and one carry-on baggage which we need to take with us through the travel. I would like to find out the following:Are there any locker facilities in the rail stations of Brussels, Bern and Zurich where we can keep the luggage temporarily (for few hours) If so, would that be free for those with Eurail global first class pass holders.  If not free, what would be the charges.  Would the pass holders eligible for any discounts on the fees to keep in the storage.  Are locker facilities available in the rail stations of all major cities in EuropeThanks in advanceSudar

We are arriving at de Gaulle airport, and want to go directly to Bayeux. Trying to figure out the quickest/most effective way to do so. It seems we need to go through the St Lazare station, and the best way between there and the airport is the RER train. However, not sure what passes we need, or if we need to purchase passes in advance at all. Thank you!

Hi, Does anyone have experience with traveling from San Sebastian to Paris via Hendaye station in 1 day? What is the best connection between san sebastian and hendaye? by train or by bus? thanks, Remco

I am a travel agent looking for info on train access with using a walker?? Are most train stations platform entrances? Will they take her walker and store it or can she keep it with her? 

If I buy the one country pass for Germany, it clearly states that you can cross certain borders to certain towns. For example you can travel from Munich to Innsbruck , or Germany to Venice, Italy. My question is, there is a train that goes from Munich to Innsbruck and I want to get off and walk around site see, and get back on the train 2 hours later and continue to Venice. Since I am technically getting off the train in Innsbruck and walking around will that invalidate the trip to Venice or will I be allowed to use the pass that way?? 

Hallo,ich habe im November von dieser 25% Aktion gebrauch gemacht und mir ein 15 Tage in 2 Monaten Ticket geholt. Die sind ja bis 1. Juni 2024 gültig. Ist es hier auch so, dass ich lediglich vor dem 1. Juni den Pass aktiviert haben muss? Also zum Beispiel ich aktiviere ihn am 25. Mai und der ist dann die 2 Monate gültig, also bis 25. Juli?Oder muss ich sozusagen Anfang April spätesten den Pass aktivieren? Viele Grüße

Hi, I heard about the high possibility of the strike on Jan 8, 2024.  Problem is that we have non-refundable tickets from Amsterdam to Frankfurt on Deutch ban on Jan. 8.  What would our choices be if the strike goes through?  It is imperative that we arrive back in Frankfurt before Jan. 9 as we have a flight back home to the US on the 10th.  We looked into buying new tickets on the 7th, but that is more than double the price of what we originally paid for.  

Hallo zusammen :) Ich plane im Juni meine erste Interrail Reise. Ich hab nun schon länger die Strecke geplant und dachte ich frag mal hier im Forum nach. Es wäre echt super hilfreich, eure Meinungen zu hören. Vielleicht kann ich ja manche Strecken besser planen, als bisher.Undzwar startet die Reise in Portugal. Der Plan ist wie folgt:Porto -> Lissabon (3h) Lissabon -> Faro   (3h)        Faro -> Sevilla (mit Bus)  und dann weiter mit dem Zug Sevilla -> Cadiz  (1,5h)    Cadiz -> Valencia  (9h) Valencia -> Barcelona  (3,5h) Barcelona -> Montpellier (3h) Montpellier -> Deutschland (9h)Ich würde falls möglich lieber mit der Regio fahren um die Reservierungskosten zu meiden. Aber soweit ich gesehen hab, ist das bei den Kurzstrecken (vor allem die in Portugal) nicht möglich. Bei den längeren Strecken, sind Schnellzüge wohl sinnvoller. Am teuersten ist der TGV nach Deutschland, was sich leider kaum vermeiden lässt.Sollte jemand bessere Alternativen haben, gerne her dami

Hi, I'm planning a trip from France to Denmark via Sweden. I found all my trains to Copenhagen, but it became complicated after. I can't find any trains on the Interrail website to reach Stockholm or Oslo. Furthermore, I specify that I know there is a long distance, but that's not an issue for me, regardless of the number of connections. The website just shows me “no result”, The farthest I could reach is Göteborg, but even from here, it is impossible to reach Oslo. So there is my question: is the Swedish train system complicated, or is there another issue ? And by the way, my trip would be in June 2024; I searched for my train for the 15/06. 

Hey everyone!I‘m currently planning my first interrail trip and thought it would be fun to take the ferry from venice to Igoumenitsa. If i understand it correctly, Global Pass holders should be able to travel free with Attica Group Greece-Italy (Superfast Ferries in cooperation with ANEK LINES) as it is stated under pass benefits:»Global Pass holders are entitled to:International Lines:Free air seats or dormitories (where available) for 1st class Pass holders and free deck passage for 2nd class Pass holders«But if i want to book the passage on their website, only the interrail/eurail greek island pass is listed on the discount-dropdown. Another problem is, that the ferries won‘t show up in the interrail app, if i search for connections between Venice and Igoumenitsa.Maybe someone has an idea what i‘m doing wrong or are the pass benefits just not up to date?Any help would be much appreciated,thanks! 

Hi, I want to travel home by night train. I have 10 days within 2 months pass and i have still one travel day and one inbound journey left. The pass is valid until 27 January 2024. I want to travel home with night train from Prague to Warsaw. I wont change any trains and train leaves at 21:00 and arrives at 09:20 next day. I want use ony other trains after this night train. Is it possible to use it with onluy one travel days remaning? Another question is about the RailPlanner app. This train EN441 is a direct train. However during journey sleeping cars are connected to different train in Bohumin. This happens while everyone is sleeping and noone notices it. However RailPlanner does not see it and marks destination for EN441 as Bohumin which is not true. Therfore i will need to add it manually (of course if i can use it - this is what the first question is about). Wont adding it manually be a problem?Done Interrailing three times and this is the first one when i get really confused. Gre

We are seniors and will travel from Utrecht (Netherlands) to Rome and back.We have booked our tickets with the Global Pass.But it turns out impossible to book beds and seats.OBB sent us back to Interrail to book the beds we need.What to do???

Hello,I have understood that with the one country pass it is not possible to take trains that cross the border, meaning that you have not right to an inbound or outbound journey from your country of residence. Do you know if this also applies to the train companies of the country I am travelling to (e.g. does this rule also apply if I have a France Country Pass and I want to take a SNCF train from my country of residence)?Alternatively, do you know if it is acceptable to buy a normal train ticket to cover the ride between my city and the first stop in the country I am travelling to (e.g. I buy a normal ticket from Brussels to Lille and I use the France Country Pass from Lille to my final destination in France)?Thank you!Eleonora

I know I buy the interail pass through their website, but where do you actually book the train. I’ve got their planner app, but somebody said that isn’t very good. Can you use the interail pass on other train booking apps, or do u need to use the pass on the interail app and just use the other train apps for live information 

Attempted to purchase a paper Global Pass on the Eurail website. Delivery for the paper pass is not until October 2. Our Travel isnt until early December, however, I have two trains that will require a reservation, and would like to do that before the paper ticket arrives, as I dont want to find out later there are no seats available for passholders.   My question is if I go ahead and purchase the paper ticket now, with delivery much later, can I get the required pass number to go ahead with my reservations?   I really do not want to get a mobile pass. I do understand some folks have had good luck with it, and some not so much. Just prefer the paper.   Thanks in advance

Hey. Ich habe die Railplanner App und es sagt mir, dass die Strecke von Deutschland nach Barcelona nicht durch das Pass Netzwerk gedeckt wird. Wie kann das sein? auf deren website steht sogar, dass man dort hin fahren kann?

Hi, I’m planning on going interailing later this year, and I’ve had a brief look at the interail planner app. There’s a particular journey I plan on making (Nice-Milan) and for every single day, there are various options of trains all about 5hrs long. However, when you skip into May 2024, there either aren’t any trains available or there is one but it’s 20hrs long. Is this just because we’re too far away to book, or is it genuinely true that there aren’t trains that take 5 hours in May??

Hi, Im planning to interrail this summer. Im from the UK, looking to go: Belgium, norway, germany, austria and switzerland.I just want to clarify if I will need the 7day pass ( to include going from london to belgium , then from switzerland to london) or if the 5day pass will be fine ( as in, will my outbound and inbound journeys included in the ticket?) Also, the trip will be in the summer. Have far in advance would you recommend making train seat reservations?  thanks :) 

Hi All! My family is traveling from the USA. We start in London, plan to take the ferry over to Netherlands and then travel to Belgium, Paris, then on to Italy for a couple stops.  My main question is, with the Eurail pass, does this just cover trains that are on the map? or can you use the trains/trams/buses that are within the cities with this as well.  Trying to figure out the cost effectiveness. Thank you! 

What if out of a group of 4, one member cannot come anymore? Will the #DiscoverEU pass still be available for the other 3 in the group?

Hi,a short question to the community: I’ll travel with Snälltaget from Munich East to Malmö, starting on Jan 6th very late in the evening at 23:59.I’m using a global Pass (4 days). Anybody there who knows how many days it “costs” to take the train directly to Malmö - arrival 15:35 the next day? Germany is my home country. THX a lot Christoph

I've noticed the Eurail planner warns to arrive early for crossings between the UK/France and back. I don't see the same warnings for other crossings?  (FR/Switz, Switz/Italy etc.) What happens with those crossings or on the Night Trains? Realistically, How much time should I plan on?Thanks,Peg
