Solved

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 all, very glad to be part of this community!Spent some time looking for answers, and this was very helpful!A few things though that I would like help with.First though, some information about me/usFirst time Eurail users (to be confirmed if we buy one!) Mobile pass still not bought Whole family (including my elderly parents) will travel with us. The youngest of the group is 18 Here is our travel plans:From Montreal(Canada) to London(UK), arriving in London on Dec 17th 2022 (plane tickets already bought) From London to Amsterdam with Eurostar here.

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

Would appreciate your advice about this tripFamily of 4 (2 adults, 17 yo, 13 yo) none of us have interrailed before. Current plan is3/8/24 Eurostar to Paris (know we need to reserve seats - is it ok to have bought just one pass beforehand and use just one pass number to reserve seats?)7/8/24 Paris - Barcelona12.-13/8/24 Barcelona to Florence - was thinking about an overnight stop at Nice? 18/8/24 overnight train Florence to Salzburg21/8/24 Salzburg to Cologne23/8/24 Cologne to Brussels25/8/25 Eurostar Brussels to LondonOur only fixed point at present is Paris as we have accommodation booked to see some of Olympics but I’m keen to book other accommodation as it’s the summer season  Any advice on the trip/ trains/booking much appreciated   

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

Bonjour à tous le monde !Je pars pour deux mois en avril prochain, je pars de Rennes et me rends jusqu'en Italie, je souhaite découvrir Florence, Rome, Naples, Bari puis prendre le ferry jusqu'en Grèce, rejoindre Mykonos, revenir sur Athènes, découvrir l' Albanie puis le Monténégro et la Croatie !Pensez-vous que le pass interrail est valable pour ce type de voyage ? Je pourrai sinon des prendre le bus. Savez-vous si c'est compliqué de réserver des places assises dans les pays cités ?De plus, les ferry Athènes-Mykonos sont-ils compris dans le pass interrail 2 mois ?Puisque je ne peux pas prendre de train en Albanie, puis-je faire une “pause” dans mon interrail par exemple faire Mykonos-Athènes avec interrail, puis de mon côté Athènes-Tirana / Tirana - Podgorica, et reprendre des voyages à partir de Podgorica ou tout doit être fait d’affilé? Désolé c’est pas clair!!Merci à vous !!Bonjour à tous!Je pars deux mois en avril prochain, je pars de Rennes en Italie, je veux découvrir Florence,

Hello everyone,I triped with interrail in 2019 and I had a paper pass for the trip.At that time I didn’t realize that it was written on the pass “When you’ve finished travelling, please send us this Pass Cover including your Pass and get a gift in return!”I am curious of what it would be but at the same time, I’d like to keep the pass as a souvenir. Anyone knows what the gift is like ? And if they still do this 4 years after my trip is over ? Thanks

Hi, can I choose not to pay for seat reservation if it only says seat reservation optional/ recommended instead of required? I have first class pass Eurail pass.

Eng: Good morning interrail community. My group of friends and I will travel with the 7-day pass. Our doubt centers on the last day of travel (the seventh) as we are not aware if there is a route that connects Milan - Bari (and which is covered by interrail). Does anyone know if a train from Milan to Bari is available? And if so, does Interrail cover the trip?Ita: Buongiorno community di interrail. Io e il mio gruppo di amici viaggeremo col pass di 7 giorni. Il nostro dubbio verte sull'ultimo giorno di viaggio (il settimo) in quanto non siamo a conoscenza se vi sia una tratta che collega Milano - Bari (e che sia coperto da interrail).Qualcuno sa se sia disponibile un treno con tratta Milano-Bari? E se si, interrail copre il viaggio? 

We’re a family of four (2 adults, 17yo and 13 yo) who are planning on interrailling in August 24. I want to make our Eurostar seat reservations now so we can get the train we want but I was hoping there maybe a sale on pass prices in March (was hoping for a New Year one….)  and so wanted to delay buying the pass until later in the year. The raileurope website asks for a pass number when I try to book the seat reservations. Any advice?

Bonjour, je prévois de faire un tour d’Europe avec mon ami en 2024 (nous avons 21 ans). Nous avons déjà pris le Pass Global 3 mois (Pass continu) et nous pensons commencer le voyage durant le mois de Février pour le terminer durant le moi de Mai, nous sommes donc plutôt hors-saison en ce qui concerne le tourisme. L’itinéraire que nous comptons suivre ressemble à ça : Besançon - Bilbao - Porto - Lisbonne - Lagos - Séville - Madrid - Valence - Barcelone - Milan - Turin - Venise - Rome - Naples - Bari - Patras - Athènes - Kalambaka - Thesslaonique - Sofia - Bucarest - Budapest - Vienne - Prague - Berlin - Copenhague - Stockholm - Oslo - Trondheim - Bodo. Puis le retour Bodo - Besançon. Ce trajet est prévu sur 80 jours car nous souhaitons nous donner une “marge” de 10 jours (3 mois = environ 90 jours) afin de palier aux éventuels retards, annulation, grève, etc. Je sais que certains de ces trajets ne sont pas possible en train (Bari - Patras en ferry, Lagos - Séville en bus ou encore Sofia

Hello and Thank you all in advance.I have a 1st class, 10 day flex/global pass.Somehow...I ended up with some Business Class seat reservations. I made the reservations within the eurail app (paid extra) hoping to avoid any snafus. The tickets clearly show Business Class Seats and the correct Eurail (1st class) pass #. What should I do? Does the Eurail Pass even have Business Class passes?Thanks again.

I see that the Eurail site allows a couchette on the train from Rome to Siracusa to be booked - but it only offers either a seat or Promiscuo. I would like to get a CC-DONNA place though - why doesn’t the Eurail site offer this?is there any site that does? I tried raileurope.com but couldn’t find any reservation-only price, only for full ticket, even though I entered Interrail pass.(Getting ready for fitst ever interrailing - exciting!) TIA

We have just purchased a global pass and will need to travel from Penzance to London before getting the Eurostar. Will the pass be valid for what may be seen as two journeys within the UK, our country or residence?

Hello,we are a family of 4 traveling to Europe for the first time next week. 2 Adults and a 20 year old and a 11 year old. Our plans are this. 24-26 Frankfurt. 26-27 Munich 27-29 Salzburg 29-1 Bern. 1-2 Frankfurt for the flight home. We also Land at 6AM on the 24th. Trying to understand the rails. We will do some inner city site seeing most days but it looks cheap to pay as you go for those. But trying to figure out if I would need both a EU global pass and a Swiss train pass. While in switzerland we are thinking of the train ride goldenpass express I think its called. And hitting museums. Just not sure if the EU pass and pay for the other stuff in Swiss is better or how this works. Thank you
