I am living in Germany. I wanted to travel from Cologne to Brest. The Global Pass allows a one-day inbound and outbound journey in the country of residence.So, can I start my journey from Cologne(Germany) to Paris(France) by counting one travel day? Or do I need 1 for inbound in the home country and another (same day) for France?In France, can we travel without seat booking on the TGV? 

Hei, we have seniot interrail tickets. We fly to Palermo first. We cannot get seating places to train from Palermo to Salerno 1.5, time 10.15. How we can pay them and get our tickets to phone?

Ciao,qualcuno ha già provato questo giro da milano passando da Parigi Londra e Scozia in 15 giorni ?Dopo Londra che tappe/Città sono più belle da visitare e fermarsi?…. Vale la pena fare una traghettata fino a Dublino Sicuramente volevamo provare il Calendonian Sleppers e poi non sappiamoGrazie mille!

Okay so me and my friends want to interrail around Europe, we all live in the UK. We don't live in London so if we were to buy a Global interrail pass would that cover the travel from our city to London?? Or would we just need to find our way there?

Hello, my goal is to travel from Stockholm to Narvik on July 18th. The only available route requires me to change trains at Boden. However, it seems to me that the night- train arriving at Boden splits into two, with one section continuing on to Narvik.So I have two questions:Will new direct trains be offered?If it’s not the case do I have to use two travel days for this journey?Thanks for your answer ! 

Hello!  We (3 of us) are traveling from Amsterdam to London on April 24th and have passes bought.  This is our last leg across Europe, but are finding seats are Sold Out.  What are our options?  

I’m wondering if there is any way to select specific seats using a Eurail pass on Trenitalia.  From everything I read online here, it’s not possible on Trenitalia’s website, Trenitalia Kiosks, Eurail, or even OBB.   My travel companion for an upcoming trip has never been to Europe before and I was really hoping I could select seats, rather than have them preassigned.  I’m wondering if we go to a Trenitalia agent at a station if they have flexibility of accommodating requests.   I’d prefer the one seat arrangements facing each other, but as long as we’re sitting together, that would be fine.  What I’m really hoping to prevent is being assigned in different cars or even in the same car not together.  Is there a way to see the assigned seats before finalizing a booking?  I’m fine with us sitting side-by-side, across from each other, window or aisle, etc.  Just don’t want us separated.   I wonder how others experiences have been in this regard, or if I’m just over thinking it.  

Does anyone have any insight into what routes will be offered this summer, and when booking might open?I am trying to book for early July from Narvik (if it runs) or Boden to Stockholm. The website just shows track maintenance being planned, and no tickets yet. Although I note there are tickets for a few days later in the month. Is there any certainty there will be trains, even if a different route / schedule etc? 

Hello! Bought a paper pass for reduced price already in the winter, planned to travel in spring. Now plans changed, planning to travel in the autumn.But, the site says i have to BUY a new pass, wait for refundng of the original passa + pay 25 euros for the exchange.SO, if I do not get the new pass for the same reduced price, why would I exchange it and pay the extra 25 euros? And why do I have to buy the pass and get the refund later, can you not transfer the money/price of the original pass for the purchase of a new one? 

We are a couple planning Interrail travel to France, Italy and Switzerland next month, and need to put our passes on our phone(s). Wondering about the advantages/disadvantages of putting both passes on one phone or on two separate phones. We will always travel together. With both on one phone we can duplicate our trip details; if they are on separate phones can we duplicate or will we have to enter all the journeys separately for each pass? The snag I can see of both on one phone is using it at automatic platform gates, one of us will have to pass the phone back to the second person. what are people’s experiences and thoughts, please?

I want to buy the 4-day flexi pass, the trip from my city (madrid) to the first destination (paris), and the trip from the last destination (rome) to my city again counts in the 4 days of the pass? that means i can travel only two days between destinations?

Hi,I bought erasmus pass for 4 travel days in the next 6 months.I already booked the trip for this Sunday, but would like to refund it now. When I refund it, do I get the travel day back, or I lose that travel day? 

I recently purchased a Eurail pass and was trying to get a train from London to Glasgow. It sent me to the ACP rail site to get a seat reservation. Is the ACP rail linked with Eurail or do I need a separate pass?

Over the weekend, I purchased two (5 day in 1 month) InterRrail passes for August and reserved seats on trains to and from Barcelona via Paris. In total, this has cost €900 and, alarmingly, AI has suggested that buying individual advance tickets (with mandatory seat reservations) might actually have been cheaper! What do you think; does this sound expensive to you? N.B. The InterRail passes were c. €600 and 8 seat reservations (in and out of Paris both ways) were c. €300.

Hi! I'm Lara (18) from the Netherlands and I'm planning to go travelling through Switzerland, Italy and France this July! I'm still looking for a travel buddy or some people to meet up with along the way!🙂Send me a dm on Insta (@Lara_.akr) or leave a comment if you are interested or would like to know more about my plans!

Hi,I searched, but couldn’t find a suitable answer. Are there restrictions to times you can travel with an Interrail pass? I need to get from Cestas (near Bordeaux) to Mansfield in the UK for a short trip. Basically, a day’s travel, a day’s visit and a day’s travel back. I’ve done it for the last couple of years by booking two sets of tickets on the Trainline, but this would make it simpler (and cheaper). B

I have mostly avoided travelling through france and spain because of all the mandatory reservations, but at some point it makes sense to also visit spain and portugal atleast once despite the annoying reservations. (I am considering doing it this year if i dont find someone to travel another route together)Starting in Germany(direct ICE to Paris) or Switzerland i plan to travel via France and Spain to Portugal and then back to Paris (maybe travelling to the uk before returning, so i have atleast one country that has easy travel with an interrail pass).Whats the best way to get to portugal and back with some interesting stops in Spain, without spending so much on mandatory reservations. Especially the reservation for international trains seem quite expensive.(France to spain) And spanish trains seem hard to reserve (online) without paying booking fees on top of the reservation cost. I dont necessarily need the fastest route. ( I am crazy enough to do Zürich to Siracusa (sizily) in 1 tra

I've made train reservations on the Rail Europe platform using my interrail pass number. I received the tickets as pdf's. Can I add them to the Interrail app? If not what to do when travelling ? Print the tickets and activate the travelling day as a 'use day' in the app ? Thanks for your support,  Rob

Dear all, We found a suggestion on the official Interrail website to travel to Istanbul. When planning in the trip planner, there is an error and a suggestion to split the journey (from Sofia or Bucharest) in two. Without further advice on how to do that. Could you please suggest how we could solve this.Is it possible to travel to Istanbul with Interrail?Best, Tiina and Hannu, travelling in June.

Hi,I’m preparing my 1st Eurail trip and I have a doubt about the correct way to proceed.I will go from France to Norway. I take the train until  Hirtshals (Denmark), then a boat from Hirtshals to Norway. I will then travel again by train in Myrdal (Norway) 5 days later. Into the Eurail scheduler I have created a step from Hirshals to Myrdal in order to have my complete travel in 1 Eurail trip, but I’m wondering whether this step will consume 1 travel day on my pass ? Please note that the boat has been already separately booked.

Hello !Our country is France.We’re trying to use our pass from France to Spain.Yet the only trains covered are the one within France. No internal passes within Spain.So the goal is to reach the border of Spain with our pass. And more precisely the railway station of Hendaye. Which is a border train station.Has someone already done it and is it ok with the pass knowing that the city we’re reaching and from we will get back is technically a French city ?Thank youEmmanuelle

Dear Interrail community,We are organising our first Interrail trip, using Interrail to visit Stockholm and Copenhagen.However, one of our group cannot install the Rail Planner app on her mobile phone because the operating system is too old. Her phone cannot use a more recent operating system.Could you please help us find an alternative solution?Thank you in advance for your help.Regards, Gines  

Hello! I am looking for this exact Interrail Paper Pass Cover. Does anyone know where I can get this? I’d really appreciate it if you can help me. Thank you. 

Hi,quick question : How does the discount on StenaLine ferrys work? I want to take the Göteborg to Kiel ferry in mid-July, mid-Trip. The Interrail-website states “Save a travel day on your Pass when travelling with Stena Line. This benefit can be used with a valid Pass even if your travel days are over.”. Does that mean it can only be used when having an active pass day or if all days are used, but the pass is still valid? Cuz I wanna be using it mid-trip (Not all days are used up) without using a day of the pass! Thanks for the help! With the best regards!
