Solved

hiWe are only planning on taking 2 trains in August 2024 so not sure if it is worth getting a Eurail card. the trains we are taking are: from Paris to Amsterdam and would like to take the fast 3 hr 20 min  Eurostar bullet which would cost extra if we get the eurail card and sounds like it might be complicated to make sure we get the time we want (I believe it is about 32/37 euros more on top of the eurail card but not sure how easy it will be to get the day and time we want etc). The eurostar ticket if bought separately is anywhere from $158 the cheapest to about $300 so its expensive And from Amsterdam to Berlin on the direct ICE high speed train. This I can get for about $115 cheapest for times and day I want to goIs it worth getting the eurail card or shall we just purchase two separate tickets?Thanks

Hello everyone! Although I've seen tons of videos on how to use the Railplanner app and Eurorail website so I'm still getting the confidence around it, I still don't quite get how to make the reservations and when I should  activate the pass. I bought a 5 days Global Pass.here's my itinerary for now:April 13th - From London to Paris @3:30PMApril 16th - From Paris to Bern,Switzerland @10AM**We'll be visiting a few destinations within Switzerland with trains also.**April 18Th - From Bern to Geneva. Questions:Few websites including Eurorail guide says that reservations should be bought somewhere else, not directly with Eurorail but with the train companies directly. Website does give you the option to buy them though. Furthermore, it says that train times are not updated fast enough to be accurate. Please explain this. When exactly you should activate the pass and what if I miss a train or for some other reason I dont board the reserved seat, what should I do? What to do when not travelli

Does anybody know why you can’t choose any city in Bosnia in the Discover EU App, whilst the website says, that you can travel there with Interrail? Little bit confused here 

Hello,The interrail website reads that only the following Cyclade islands are covered with the Greek ferry pass: Amorgos, Anafi, Donoussa, Ios, Iraklia, Kea, Koufonissi, Mykonos, Naxos, Paros, Santorini, Schinoussa, Syros, and Tinos.Shall I take it that Milos and Sifnos, for instance, are excluded? I have been checking out traveler blogs where they mentioned they could use the pass to visit these two islands too - this got me confused.Any clarification welcome!Many thanksM.

I want to do this trip, I think that I need the 5 days pass, but if I use the planner on the website it says that I need 7days pass. How can I do? Thanks for your help

Folks, many years ago, I used Interrail a lot. in the 80s, the passes were dirt cheap, covered all countries and more or less all trains, and the rules were as easy as ordering a coffee in a café before Starbucks was invented.but I’m not here to complain, at least not only.I’m planning to travel to Italy in a few weeks. There is no direct border between Germany and Italy, of course. as far as I know, there is a rule that you can travel in your home country to reach the destination country. But what if there is Switzerland or Austria in between? Is that included? Do I need a global pass?

We’ll be travelling thoughout France July 18  through August 18, including Olympics in Paris. We have an Eurail pass in hand. Normally we wouldn’t be able to book trains this early, but Paris 2024 says we can book as of tomorrow March 13. At least for travel within France. Does anyone know or expect that on March 13 we can book for this period though Eurail’s main site, or will we have to book through SNCF or some other site?

Hola comunidad,Agradezco su respuesta a la siguiente preguntaCual es la diferencia entre ver los alpes suizos desde St Moritz y Tirano usando el tren Bernina Express y los trenes urbanos de Suiza,¿Los dos tipos de trenes hacen el mismo recorrido? es decir pasan por los mismos lugares.Tengo un pase de Interail en primera clase y no quiero gastar dinero de mas, pero tambien el objetivo de ir a Suiza es admirar los alpes suizos, entonces debo invertir en el expreso bernina o con el tren urbano puedo hacer lo mismo.  La Fecha de viaje para ese trayecto es el 10 de septiembre 2024. Gracias y muchos exitos.-

I am travelling from München, Germany to Ghent, Belgium on the 12th of April (leave at 10:30, arrive at 18:57) and I want to reserve seats on the website from Deutsche Bahn since we’ll be carrying a lot of luggage. I go to their website, and try to do that. It works to select seats for the parts within Germany, but when I press continue to select the seats, it suddenly says “Seat selection no longer possible”. I have no idea why. I tried again, and can always select the exact seats, but I’m left with that message in the end always. What to do?

Hello guys, me and my friend are trying to find a train leaving Istanbul on the 26th of July. We‘d like to go to Greece, but we cannot count on Hellenic Trains, anybody know something about international trains to Greece, Montenegro or Macedonia or ferries included in the interrail ticket from Turkey? Kind regards 

I’m looking to take the Leman Express service L1 from Annemasse to Geneva at 10:05 on 6th April but this is not appearing in the search in the app. It appears some other L1 line services are also missing. Is there a reason for this? If I catch this train I can’t add it to my mobile pass in the app so what if I get a ticket check?

Hello, I am trying to plan a Europe trip for my honeymoon in late October, beginning of November of 2025. Me and my fiancé are thinking of flying into Paris, staying for three days (one day trip to Versailles), then taking a train to Brussels, staying there three days (one day trip to Antwerp) then lastly taking a train to Cologne and staying for 3-4 days there then flying back home out of Cologne. I know I will need the global pass, but I am confused on how it will work. So, do the day trips count as a day of travel used on the pass? If so, since they will be round trips, does the trip to the destination and the trip back count as two trips total? I just want to know how many days of travel I need to purchase for the global pass. I don't want to purchase too much/too little. Also, I am also wondering if I will be able to book seat reservations through the Eurail app for the cross-country train travel in the countries I listed above after I purchase my global pass. Will the seat reserv

I am going from Salzburg to Venice. I found a train on ÖBB railjet IC898 RJ131 departing 8:12 am arriving 2:05 pm on Omio.com. But it’s not listed on Eurail.com. I bought a eurail pass. How do I make a reservation on this train . Other listed takes 2 hours longer. Appreciate any help.

I’m trying to book the Fjordline ferry from Kristiansand to Hirthals using the interrail discount code that is given on the Fjordline site. The site says the code has been redemeed but the ticket price is exactly the same as the price without the discount code. I’m just trying to book the standard economy fare. It even says on the webpage standard economy Eurail price but as I say there is no 30 per cent discount as promised. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

I have a Euro Rail Global Pass for my wife and I, both Australian Senior Citizen. Our planned Itinerary for Italy and Switzerland are starting on 31 May 2024:Castiglion Fiorentino (attending a wedding) to Naples (2 nights in Naples), From Naples to Florence (2 nights), Florence to Venice (2 nights), Venice to Milan (1 night). We will come back to Rome for 2 night stay to take our flight back to Australia on 17 June Travelling to Switzerland on 7 June travelling as per below trajectory: Milan to St. Moritz via Bernina Express (1 night), St. Moritz to Zermatt (2 nights) using Glacier Express, Zermatt to Interlaken (3 nights) using local/regional train. From Interland we will try to cover Jungfrau, Mount Pilatus, Mount Titlis and a day trip to Geneva using Golden Line.Given train travel in Italy is not that expensive and we do no really need first class travel we intend to amend our Euro Global Pass dates from 22 days to 10 days just to cover Switzerland. That will save me probably A$$800

Hi, I like to ask , can I buy or book a train tickets from another station ? If I  plan to department from Paris Montparnasse to Mont St Michel , do I need to go down to Paris montparnasse to book the train ticket or  I could go to other paris main train station to book my tickets? 

We’ve bought interrail tickets and I’ve just bought a Eurostar ticket for August and received the E-ticket. However it doesn’t tell us where we’re sitting and didn’t ask us where we wanted to sit. Should I have seat numbers? Is it because it’s so far in advance? I’m hoping we’re together as we have a young-ish child! Also we have some friends who want to book separately and want to try to book seats near us. Postscript - I’ve just received a separate email saying I need to validate the tickets with Eurostar to get the seat numbers. Keeping this post up in case it helps others...

I'm on a local train trip which is not in your app. How do I add it? 

Hello, I was trying to add journey in Rail planner from Brussels Midi to Amsterdam Central on 19th April at 6.45 departure and returning on the same day at 18.28 pm for a day trip. This seems to be a 2.50 mins long journey and  a direct one too.However, I came across the supplement required for the same needs to booked either on-board, online or at the station. I tried to book it online but couldn't find any proper instructions on the site.So the question is, is this mandatory? If yes,how to go ahead?If No, then I am very concerned that without any seat reservation, we might not be able find any available seat in the train.It can be fully occupied. Or in an unfortunate case, extra amount to pay if caught travelling without proper seat reserved tickets.Kindly guide.Thanks in advance.

Dear everyone,I am trying to book a reservation from Paris to Barcelona using my Interral 2nd class pass. However, the interrail websites say that prices are unavailable. I assume that means that all passholder availabilities are used up? In other forum posts, I read the recommendation to call SCNF and try booking that way. However, according to the interrail website, they only accept American Express as payment, which I do not have.On the SCNB website I found only first class reservations for the date I need to travel. But I presume it’s not possible to book that with my 2nd class pass/to upgrade it for one reservation?Thank you very much in advance! Any help is much appreciated.Eva
