Hi all, We'll be venturing to Denmark and Sweden this summer and this is new territory to me when it comes to operator pass validity and the reservations. I am doing the planning mostly with bahn.de as they include everything, however the information about reservations being required is conflicting with the information on interrail's own planner (which I prefer not to use for planning as I know it can be outdated).So my question is: where do I find the ultimate truth whether a reservation is required or just optional?I can make reservations on SJ.se and the cost of 35 SEK which is of course not a a great sum, however their English-version website is not clear about whether the reservation is optional. I prefer not to fix ourselves beforehand (our freedom-lesson from earlier trips) and therefore take trains without compulsory reservation. Here is an example of contradictory information for a particular journey we want to make on 5 August:10:23 ODENSE (Denmark) EC 1198interrail planner s

Hello trying to book a reserved seat. Need to do it at the station and no one understands the Eurail pass. I am in Bulgaria. cannot help please? 

I got a eurail pass for 4 days in one month and have it all planned out to go from london to paris to madrid.. etc, but I was wondering if I can use my pass for shorter local journeys in each city on travel days as well? For example, I’m going to arrive in Paris around 11 in the morning and want to use that day to explore the city. Can I just my eurail pass to get around the city that day or is local travel not included? And if It is included how do I go about adding those journeys to my pass? 

Hey, I live and study in the netherlands but I don't have a official rental agreement and I´m not officially registered in the netherlands. Is it possible to use my student ID / Proof of enrolment as a official residency document, so I can choose netherlands as my country of residence? Generally, is there a general rule what counts as a general residency document? Happy to get some help with that :) GreetingsRikky

Sortirem de Lió i anirem a Lucerna.L’app ens ofereix el trajecte Geneve-Lausanne-Zurich. Però, per passar per llocs més atractius, estem sospesant el trajecte Geneve-Montreux-Visp-Spiez-Interlaken. Són massa canvis en un dia? Ens podem fiar dels horaris dels trens suïssos? Sols ens apareix reserva opcional entre Visp i Spiez i ja l’hem fet. Però voldríem assegurar-nos que és viable. Arribaríem al destí a les 20:30 aproximadament. Tenim un Aribnb reservat. És massa just el timing? Què us sembla? 

Per què serveix el planificador de la web interrail un cop tens descarregat el Rail Planner al mòbil? T'aporta algun servei afegit?

Hi, I am trying to do my seat reservations through Eurail but when I log into my account it shows I don’t have a pass. I have gone back and forth with the Live Chat but I have still only managed to book the two trains I can using Eurostar. I need to book the rest. Any help?

I’m into my second class pass for a few days now in Norway.  I’m having no luck reservation of seat on train if it’s required through eurail app. Entur website seems to require i buy ticket to reserve seat which doesn’t make sense.  I have to call customer service to reserve seat, lengthy wait but i get the reservation for seat.  Why is this so difficult?  I am thinking of upgrading to first class pass.  Any suggestions?

Cuando planifico mis días de viaje en la app, en cada tramo de tren me aparece “Está listo para abordar”, “Puedes comprar una reserva de asientos si lo deseas, pero no es obligatorio” o bien “Este es un tren popular. Se recomienda hacer reserva de asientos, pero no es obligatorio”. Mi duda es (sobretodo cuando aparece la segunda o tercera frase) si puede que el tren esté completo y no dejen subir a pasajeros sin reserva o bien, como en nuestros trenes de cercanías, siempre queda la posibilidad de viajar de pie. 

Hi guys!I know I have to activate the Flex Pass in the app by scheduling its 1-month validity period by 31st of August 2025, but I don’t know when I will travel or where, so I have no idea which day I will start my trip. Will I lose my pass if I don’t do it? Can I pick a random date and change it when I will plan my trip? Any help would be really appreciated.Thank you,Maria

Hello, I already created a trip that is linked to my DiscoverEU interrail pass. I would like to share it with the people I will be travelling with. I have already tried sharing the trip as a link but it opens in the Eurail planner mobile app. Is there a way to share a trip in the DiscoverEU app? Are my friends forced to use Eurail planner?

Good morning,  I have a reservation that can’t be refound. i am planning to change the trip plan. It seem that the reservation can not simply be cancelled (i don’t need the money back). What will it happen if I don’t use a reservation?    Thanksregards

Could you please let me know if there is a train route available from Östersund to Gällivare? The route is shown on the Interrail map for 2025, but the planner doesn't show any connections. How can I check if trains are actually running there? Does anyone know?

I saved two trip with two different names for my up and coming visit to England. Without my consciously doing so, the app has linked the SECOND of these trip to my pass, even though the dates is obvious after the first trip. Will this be the one I get when I activate my pass? In which case I really have to start again otherwisew I’ll be out of synchronisation. (How) Can I do this? HEEELP

Hey everyone. My boyfriend and I are travelling from Paris to Hamburg 01/08/25 and I just got the last seat reservation, so he didnt get anyone. Does anyone have a spare that we could buy? Please help if you know someone

I cannot book seat reservations for an Inter Regio train in Romania. I need to travel to Ploiesti Sud to then go on the night train to Vienna and at first it showed that i can only book the seat 30 days before departure and then it changed to “No price results were found” and when i clicked on more it said to book in person at a main station in Europe and when i went there the lady had no idea of the pass, said that i need to give her something printed but she had no idea what, she didn’t want to see my pass or anything from my phone and then she just said that i can only buy the ticket at full price. I then found through another question that i can book it though MAV (https://jegy.mav.hu/) but it doesn’t work either. At the last step of selecting the seats for the train that stops in Ploiesti it says “Failed reservation”. Is there a way to book the seats online or like at all? 

This isn’t a question, more so a complaint.In the past, you could delete past journeys to tidy up your trip. I liked writing down my different options and then activating them. Or even adding journeys that I didn’t use my pass for to keep an overview of how much I’ve travelled.Now I’m no longer able to delete journeys in the past, even if I didn’t take them. It’s only something minor, but now I can’t have an accurate overview of how many kilometres I’ve travelled and how many places I’ve visited.Also, while I’m travelling, I can no longer see where I’ve been. I probably will be able to once the trip ends, but it’s still a downgrade in my opinion.

Hi All, Have been learning a bit about travelling with a bike in a train in Germany. (Might help some others. And also others might have better solutions)I found this quite challenging: 1) Tried the Eurail app - this does not seem possible. 2) Tried the db Bahn app - but this seemed difficult to do without also purchasing a normal ticket as well.3) Tried ringing the db bahn.. And discovered a lot of the fast train (ICE) legs were already booked. 4) Decided to then use db bahn to filter a trip without fast trains.. which then allow bikes without reservations. It made the trip longer.. But possible! (I don't think there is a way in the Eurail app to filter out the fast trains.. So had to cross reference from the db bahn app) Now an travelling on the train.. But got in trouble because I was travelling before 9am on a regional train.. Around 60 Euro fine.. But thankfully my Australian accent + tourist ignorance saved the day!) The train lady then explained you also need a bicycle pass for

Hello I am new to this and have made two errors and cannot for the life of me work out how to fix. I have put my journeys on my pass for each day, but when I reserved the ACTUAL seats in first class on one leg I have put in the wrong date. When I try to change it is says it is non changable and non refundable. Do I just leave these and lose the money and rebook seats on the correct day and pay again or is there a way to change.  My husband, daughter and I all got 7 day in 1 month passes and I have started a booking for all three of us and we are all on the same trains for the first 4 - then our daughter goes off on her own with friends and is on different trains and destinations to us, but I mucked up and started the booking with all of us together and now need to seperate it so I can book the last three journeys seperately - but can’t work out if I can do this or if I have to start again. I have paid for seats on each of the four journeys I have booked so far in the one booking.Hope t

Heidelboro again and once again, thanks in advance for your patience and generosity. So I’ve got my itinery for the first two (of 5) travel days sorted. Do I have to create a new QR code/ticket for the separate days or will the app notice the day I’ve booked the journeys are two different ones and just ask me if I want to use a new travel day?I’m sure all this is blatantly obvious once you get going, but until then...🤔Thanks, team.

Hi!We will go from Vienna to Milano per night train, but we have to change trains before midnight in Salzburg. Does this still count as 1 travel day?Next we want to travel further to Bergamo on the evening of the same day we arrived in Milano. Does this still count as 1st travel day then (it will be within 24 hours of the start of the journey)? Thanks for helping me:-)

Hi!I won a discovereu interrailing pass and i’m planning on travelling in august. My friend, who i’m travelling with, bought a 7 day in a month interrailing card since it’s the same that i received. We are now trying to book seat reservations but it won’t work. I’m trying to book everything togheter, since we want the same things and want to sit togheter. But when i try to add a traveller i get this message. What can i do?

Hello all - I’ve tried to find the answer to the following in the community posts but with no luck! If the question has already been answered, then apologies and please feel free to direct me to the post!I live in the uk and have a global pass - 15 days in 2 months. after i have returned to my home country (using both my in country travel days), i will be flying back out to europe within the 2 month valid period. I will have 4 travel days left, can I use these remaining travel days to take a train from Gothenburg to Copenhagen? I’m wondering if the pass is “complete” and ends once I’ve used my 2nd inbound journey? Thanks in advance, Tom.

Hello, I have loaded 3 days of journeys on to my pass and I am confused re: dates. The app says that the pass was activated today 27th July which is when I loaded journeys on to My pass from My trip. It also says the pass is valid from 22nd October which is my first travel day. Is the pass going to run out in august because it has been activated today, 27th July, or does the validity date of 22nd October mean that I don’t need to worry about the activation date.  I am a bit confused since reading various forums would suggest the idea that the activation date is the date from which my pass is going to be valid and I need to use it within the next month or deactivate it now.Any assistance much appreciated.
