Krakow to Wengen (Zurich)

I have 2 back-to-back stag do’s in the middle of my month’s interrailing… Stag Do 1 is in Krakow, ending on a Sunday.Stag Do 2 is in Wengen (near Zurich) from Sunday > Thursday. I want to get to Stag Do 2 as soon as possible, as I’ve already paid in full for accommodation, and don’t want to miss out on the action... So I’m either looking at a €250 plane ticket, which will get me there in 2 hours,OR 23 hours of travel on my (already purchased) interrail pass 😫 I was originally set on interrailing and using night trains, but unfortunately, due to frequent changes, it seems like I might struggle to get any uninterrupted sleep for more than 3 hours, which makes the €30+ cost feel like less value for money… Basically, if anyone happens to have taken such a journey before, I’d love any advice you might be able to impart! (I realise this question is about as long as the journey... but you never know who’s out there 🤷😂)

CLAIMING BACK AN OUTBOUND JOURNEY

I reserved a ticket for eurostar to Brussels on 10th April to travel on to Munich but also booked a flight to Munich and decided to take the flight. I deselected train journey from my pass but didn't deselect outbound journey. I tried to do this when I noticed it was still showing but it was too late since train departure had passed. Is there any way I can get this back?

Seat Reservations

Hi, when making seat reservations are they only needed between the stations listed or for the whole journey. For example, I want to travel from Paris to Milan. The booking indicates seat reservations are required. I cannot book a seat all the way through from Paris to Milan. Do I need to book only from Paris to Macon - ie between the 2 stations listed; or do 1 seat reservation for the French section and another for the Italian?When trying to book seats with Italian Rail, they are not accepting my Pass Code for the booking. Just keeps rejecting the entry.  Thanks in advanceDebbie

Activating for reservation

I bought eurail global pass for 5 flexible days in a month on 9 April 2023 on Klook app. I plan to travel London to Paris on 27 May 2023 and the train requires seat reservation. I am required to activate my pass on Eurail app to reserve a seat. If I reserve my seat now on 10 April 2023 for travel on 27 May 2023, will I be using up my one month validity start right now until 9 May 2023 or the one month validity only starts when I board the train on 27 May 2023?

Mulhouse to Zermatt without reservation?

Hi, eight of us have 1st class global pass for 5 days in a month. I couldn’t find train from Paris to Zermatt for 30 May 2023 12pm so I reserved Paris Lyon to Mulhouse. Now how do I get from Mulhouse to Zermatt? When it says “no reservation required” do I still need to buy a ticket to board the next train or just board with the eurail mobile pass? I have children with me, will we be separated if I don’t reserve seats? Appreciate the help. Tq.

tips for 8 days off?

I have an abundant week available in September, I travel alone. I recently met the Interrail ticket, but I'm undecided if it's worth it.Perhaps it is better to choose a city as a starting point and visit the nearby towns/cities in the day?Obviously without spending a fortuneWhat do you think about it? A thousand thanks

First class train from Edinburgh to London

Can anyone please recommend the best train we can take along the West Coast, maybe travelling through the Lakes District. We are travelling from London to Edinburgh along the East Coast so would like to see alternative scenery on the way back - on a fast train/s. It looks like there is a train that goes through Preston or are we better going via Glasgow? (via Glasgow though)Any advice is appreciated.CheersJenny

San Sebastian/Donastia to Madrid

Hello!I am a first time Eurail user and finding it a bit confusing to understand. My partner and I have Eurail global passes. We are needing to travel from San Sebastian/Donastia to Madrid on 4 June 2023. I am still confused about what trains are included in the pass.Eurail says it includes Alvia trains. I understand that Eurail does not have the most accurate schedules on the website/app. Rail Europe shows a train on this day departing San Sebastián/Donostia at 8:50am and arriving to Madrid-Chamartin at 1:56pm. This train does not show on the Eurail planning app or website. Can someone please confirm:Will we be able to take this train using our Eurail pass?Is it correct that we cannot make our seat reservation until we are in Spain and do so in person at the ticket desk? Thank you in advance!

Reservations in Norway - short distance

We have a 2 month first class pass and are heading to Norway today. I have booked reservations for long distance trains. It's a faff to book reservations on Norwegian trains because you can't just do it online.On seat 61 it says that reservations are needed on "long distance trains" which implies they are not needed on all trains.  My question is, is there an easy way to know if we need a reservation for a particular train? Is the interrail app accurate in this respect? I've just added a journey from Oslo Airport to the main station and there is no flag on the app saying that a reservation is needed but I'm not sure whether to trust that or not. And another related question - can we book "SJ NORD premium" seats with our 1st class pass? Are they included?  Many thanks!

Activate Journey or link to Pass

Hi Fellow travellers, I am struggling a bit with the APP and as with other users concerned about my planned travel.I successfully activated my account and created my 1st trip. I managed to link that to my pass a few days ago - we take our 1st trip tomorrow.I have since created several other journeys but cannot link them to my Pass.THERE IS NO TOGGLE BUTTON TO ACTIVATE. So while it may be prudent to not link until ready to travel but to have no toggle button suggests that I will not be able to link when ready.Thanks in advance

Eurail Pass for an American going between GER-AUT

Hi, I am asking for a friend who is US American based in Germany for years, who wants to purchase the Eurail Pass. He intends going between Germany and Austria several times back and forth. 1.) He also has a German residency and can purchase an Interrail pass. But adding Germany as resident country makes it impossible going several times back and forth between Germany and Austria, right?2.) If he is purchasing the Eurail Pass, is there the same restriction? Thx upfront!

finished journey drawing on an interactive map?

Manually added journeys are sometimes not shown on the rail planner app, Google maps or ViaMichelin doesn't draw rail itineraries: Does anybody know about an app where I can draw my finished journey in order to screen-copy it e.g. in  foto book? I couldn't find unfortunately.

travelling from Amsterdam to Munchen without seat reservation

Hi,We are from Amsterdam and want to catch a nighttrain (we already booked) that leaves at 17:09 from Munchen at the 23rd of april. Interrail says it is not required but recommended to book seat reservations on the trajectory from Amsterdam to Munchen. When try to book this trajectory, it shows that it cannot be booked anymore.  Based on the other articles in this community, I tried to book via the OBB website. But when I try to pay, it also says: (I tried to book from Amsterdam to Frankfurt here, but when I try to book from Amsterdam to Munchen it shows the same).  Do you know if there is a big chance we can still enter this train by just showing up or do you have any other recommendations? Unfortunately, there are no earlier trains available and this is the last option to be able to catch the nighttrain.
