Solved

I’m trying to reserve a seat on the following and the message I’m getting is “The train is already fully booked or has been cancelled due to engineering work.” Given I’ve come across messages before saying trains are full, when it really means I’m booking too far in advance, and other times when trains I’ve tried to book are actually full, I don’t know how to interpret this message. Is there any way of knowing?  

Hi Guys,Just joined this community and trying to get few answers. We are planning a 15 days trip to Europe in April starting from Amsterdam and ending in Rome. We are planning to cover Prague, Munich, Switzerland. Do you recommend that i should get Euro rail pass for inter country travel and local travel inside Switzerland and Italy ? Also Euro rail pass works on RE trains ? Thanks for the help.

Hi, I am look for some advice or info for a trip from Zurich to Istanbul.Will be staying in Istanbul (and hopefully doing some recommended trips) and then going back to Switzerland. Seems like there is not many itineraries or route suggestions- would love some options of going through Romania and Bulgaria and then maybe back a different way through some more Balkan countries. Thank you!

Hi,Sorry if its a daft question. Would below itinerary count as 1 day of travelGrindlewald-Lauterbrunnen-Wengen-GrindlewaldGrindlewald-Interlaken-GrindlewaldSo above two train journeys if done.in one day count as 1 Day of travel? I purchased a 7 day pass instead of 5 days and thinking of using it for local travel while in Switzerland.  Thanks 

I am going with family to London, Paris, Spain and Italy in March for 10 days. I bought a 4 day Eurail global pass 1st Class. We will be taking the London Paris train, Paris to Barcelona and Venice to Florence trains. Do I now need to make seat reservations on those and pay extra money even though I have already bought the 1st class pass?

Hi!We are planning to interrailing through Europe this summer for a month and could use some help with our route. It is our first time. We will start from Stockholm and then make our way to Paris, Barcelona, the French Riviera (Nice, with a day trip to Monaco, and then possibly to either Marseille, Saint Tropez, Cannes), then Monterosso, Milan, a day trip to Venice, maybe a day trip to Rome and Pisa, then to (Kandersteg or Lauterbrunnen or Interlaken), maybe Zurich, maybe Bled, and finally Berlin and Copenhagen. We are open for changes, removing some places, replacing others, and rearranging the order. We haven't fully decided the destinations yet, so we welcome all the recommendations we can get. Can you help us find the most convenient route and if we should remove any destination?

I am trying to book a trip from with sleeper car (ex: Prague to Berlin) and it shows regular seats on the nightjet, but not the couchette prices. Even though this train SHOULD have them. Why?Any way around this?  I’ve found other sleeper cars available for other routes (ex: munich > vienna) but not this one.I’ve tried with and without specifying my eurrail pass. On both the nightjet.com site and oebb booking.

Hallo,ich möchte im März mit dem global pass von weimar über straßbourg nach barcelona und zurück über avignon. für diesen trip möchte ich sitzplätze in den entsprechnden zügen reservieren. aber ich bekomme jedesmal diese antwort: Your Pass isn't valid on this dateWas soll ich machen? Was mache ich falsch? Warum geht es nicht?Freu mich über Tipps und Hilfe! Liebe Grüße, Elgin

Extremely bad customer service. No telephone lines, no chatting, just an email line that is slow and the people running it show no understanding. Avoid this company at all costs. It really is going to cost me a lot of money for making the mistake to choose them.

Gostaria de saber se o Eurail Pass cobre o trajeto entre Spiez e Zermatt obrigada 

Hello community! I’m from Chile and this is going to be my first time in Europe, just a few days, but I was wondering if it’s possible to go by this train system from Milan to Switzerland passing through  the wonderful  Swiss Alps. I’m very interested in seeing the beautiful villages, Landwasser Viaduct among other incredible places. I’m traveling last week of March, maybe I have a litlle time to go to Paris or even London, but I also don’t know if going by train is the best alternative.I hope someone could help me, I’m a bit confused. ¡Saludos desde Santiago! 

Bonjour , j’ai des chèques vacances connect . Comment puis je payer mon pass avec ? merci 

Hi there, I'm planning for a trip from Frankfurt > Munich > Paris > Lucern > Interlaken > Zermatt > Milan. Will be taking the local trains around in Switzerland for travelling to the tourist spots like Pilatus, Titlis, Grindelwald, Rhein falls etc etc. Kinda confused with do I need to use a Pass Day when travelling in around Switzerland? If yes, do I need a reservation for the trains? And when they say that the local trains are covered by Eurail Global Pass, does it mean that I can board a local train without even when I'm not planning to use it as a Pass Day? Would also like to take the scenic train from Zermatt to Milan if that's possible. Thank you so much in advance! 

Hi,  I am trying to book seats on ICE train from Strasbourg to Paris. I believe the trains starts in Frankfurt. When i try to book seats from Strasbourg to Paris it say "seat booking is impossible at this time". The dates are less than 90 days away. When i try and book it fro  Frankfurt to Paris, its letting me book it. Should i book that and just board from Strasbourg? Many thanks.

Hi all,Before buying a card, I’d like to be sure that it will be interesting for me. I understand that I have to pay for reservation and cabin in night train, so is it really interesting? I don’t know how can I calculate what I have to add ?I would like to travel from Paris to Turku (Finland). It seems the quicker way is to go to Koeln and Hamburg in a day and take the night train to Stockholm (with a cabin booking). Then, I’ll take ferry by night from Stockholm to Turku. Is it included ?I never used interrail and I don’t understand everything.Thanks in advance for your reply.Nb : I have 50 years old and can’t take train. I want to go to Turku as quick as possible and with a night in a cabin on night train.  

I am a resident of the Netherlands. I am planning to get an Interrail pass for 2 months this spring. But that pass comes with just 2 outbound/inbound journeys. However, I want to make multiple trips.The question is: does a journey starting on a border station (the last station before the border) count as an inbound/outbound journey? For example: does taking the train from Breda to Brussels or from Arnhem to Frankfurt count as an outbound journey? According to this example posted on the Interrail website, a journey from Brussels to London St.Pancras does not count as inbound, but the journey from London St.Pancras to Brighton does count. So consistently, a journey from Frankfurt to Arnhem (the first stop in the Netherlands of the ICE) should not count as inbound right? 

I accidently bought an Interrail pass instead of a Eurorail pass. I am not a European citizen and therefore should have the Eurorail pass.I did not notice and I already traveled 2/4 days in Europe using this pass.  Now I am trying to travel and I see that the trips I planned are not possible because of an inbound/outbound rule.  May I switch my pass to the correct pass for Eurorail for the remaining two days? I have used Eurorail before, and purchasing the Interrail was a genuine error.  I should not be able to even purchase this pass as a US citizen. I used my US passport numbers when purchasing the pass.   I travel in 2 days and I contacted the chat using the support but only received automated response answers. What do I do? I need to be able to complete this route. 

Hi there, I am wondering how I would go about interraling in europe (plan to go from london to athens with multiple stops along the way) with a family member who is from australia. Would he need to book using eurail and I (english) with interrail? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi allWe are traveling by train from Switzerland to Italy between 26 Feb to 8 Mar 24 and following the route Zurich to Milan to Venice to Florence to Rome. We have an option to stay 3 nights in Milan and 2 nights in Florence or vice versa. I am after your suggestion if Milan where we should spend 3 nights or should we spend 3 nights in Florence which will leave 2 nights for Milan. Our interests of seeing Italy are from both an ancient historical side as well as a 21st century modern Italian life, say roughly 50% 50%

Booked on Eurostar from London to Rotterdam in January. Have the paper reservations but not activated my pass on the app. As my end destination is Berlin I've noticed that I would get there earlier if I got off the Eurostar in Brussels rather than going on to Rotterdam. If I did this would it cause an issue upon my arrival in Brussels? Thanks

I can't see this particularly query answered. We've got a 22day pass and will be travelling in June from the UK from Stockport to London Euston & then the Eurostar to Brussels. We can book the Eurostar now but not from home to London as those tickets / train times will not be known till March. Will there be any issue adding that uk journey later (same problem on the way home) or will i have used up my inbound / outbound trips? TIA

Are all trains between Interlaken-Grindlewald-Lauterbrunnen-Interlaken included in the pass? If i use the pass to travel between these stations would it count as 1 day of travel? I will be staying in Grindlewald and exploring surrounding areas only and not sure if i should use my pass or hire a car which is going to be around £500 including petrol+parking etc.thanks
