Hello I am planning to Travel from Bologna to Istanbul.I will arrive in “Bucuresti Nord” at 15:05 and plan to take the Bosphorus Express on the day after at 10:50.I read in this forum that I have to buy tickets for the latter in the Bucuresti station (I should have plenty of time)What I don’t understand is how the reservation works.On the interrail website it says that a single cabin sleeper is € 77 on top of the interrail passhttps://www.interrail.eu/en/plan-your-trip/tips-and-tricks/trains-europe/night-trains/bosphorus-express-night-train But on the Seat61 website I can see that the price for the same route without interrail pass is €63:https://www.seat61.com/trains-and-routes/bucharest-and-sofia-to-istanbul-by-train.htm The reason why I ask this question, is because If the reservation with interrail Pass is similar to buy a ticket on my own, I will just buy it on my own and save a day.So my questions are:1) can you confirm that it is possible to buy Bosphorus Express tickets in Bucu

I am new to THE EURAIL Pass system, having purchased one for 7 travel days in a month.  Is the main purpose of the Pass to provide a discount off the full fare?  That is, after purchasing the Pass one still needs to pay an amount for the ticket?   If so, what is the estimated discount percent?For example, I made a reservation for travel from Paris to Geneva in September at $42.51 plus a booking fee of $4.36.  Does this make sense under the Pass?  

I plan a trip for two people from Porto to Switzerland, stopping in Lisbon, Faro, Seville, Madrid and Narbonne. The trip will be in August. I noticed that seat reservations for Portuguese trains are only possible at Portuguese stations. Since my planning does not allow me to arrive at the first train station (Porto) more than a few hours in advance, I would like to know how full the trains are in Portugal in August. I saw that on the day I want to take the train in Porto, there are a approximately a train every hour. I would like to know if I need to prepare a backup plan in the case that all trains are full. Anyone could give me a piece of information? Best regards.

Hi, i entered the wrong validity period, and it will expire the 8th of july while my trip will start the same day. Is is possible ti change it or will I have to but a new one?

There is one thing I find quite confusing in the Passes for kids description https://www.interrail.eu/en/interrail-passes/deals/free-travel-kidsIt’s states that a child can travel with any adult. But it doesn’t state if the adult must be traveling with an Interrail ticket too, or if it must be the same adult that has bought the Interrail ticket? 

Hi,We are from Australia and have no recent experience with European train travel other than managing to catch the Eurostar from London to Paris last Sunday.We are catching the 9.40am train from Paris to Barcelona this Saturday leaving from Paris Gare Lyon. What time should we arrive at Paris Gare Lyon? We prefer to leave ample time so that we are not stressed, have a bit of contingency time. We are travelling with four children (aged 10-15) and have four suitcases.Also do I assume correctly that this train originates in Paris, and that therefore there will be ample boarding time?

Ayuda, quiero comprar el pase de 22 dias para viajar a varios paises en tren ahora en julio, sin embargo, tengo duda respecto a si es necesario reservar asiento en todos los viajes, ya que si me quedo sin puesto no tengo problema en viajar de pie (si es un viaje de 2 hrs), pero si no hay puestos me dejarán subir??

Hello everyone!My name is Alexandra and I plan to travel with my cat through Germany, France and Spain. My question is regarding the extra fee some railway companies (in this case in France and Spain) require you to pay for travelling with your pet. Once I have my Interrail pass and made my seat reservations, how can I pay the fee for my pet? Can I do it at each station directly?Best!Alex

I am planning a trip throughout france and switzerland. when i search the eurorail website, fast trains are not included, and they show me 5 to 6 hour travel times.  but when i do a basic google search, shorter trips (2 or 3 hours) are available on the  same partner railways.  if the fast trains for the partner rails are excluded, i may consider spending extra for shorter travel times and buy individual ticket. 

I‘ve made a mistake!I‘m going to travel with my son (10). We have got. the 7-days-global-pass.I wanted to start the journey yesterday, but he became ill. Stomach! 🙈So I deactivated the first trip, I thougt so: I just deactivated MY pass, I forgot to deactivate the trip on my son‘s pass. So for him the first travel day (1/7), the one out of the country, is already used.How can I change that? Can somebody from the staff change it for me? Because my son obviosly HASN‘T TRAVELLED YET! I saw it by chance, filling in the new trip, because the child finally feels well again and I want to start travelling in three hours…I will get in trouble on the train! Don‘t I?Thanks a lot.

I am planning to travel Stockholm to Trondheim on June 8th. but at present the Vy & Sj timetable show it is bus replacemet service from Duved-Stolien-Trondheim.Sockholm-Duved  Train 80Duved-Storlien Bus 571Storlien-Trondheim Bus 71The Interrail planner will only show the train part of the trip Stockholm-Duved. I can book a reservation for that OK.My question is how I can book reservation on the Bus replecement sections Duved-Storlien and Storlien-Trondheim?

How can I view and modify my seat once reservation was made and paid.  I need forward facing seats and prefer to sit two seats rather than three or four seats side by side.

Hello, the inbound and outbound journeys are indeed taken into account when purchasing the Interrail pass. Based on your itinerary of Paris to Milan (Italy); Milan to Bari (Italy); Bari to Patras (Greece); Patras to Milan; Milan to Paris, it appears that you would need a 5 days within 1 month pass or a 3 days within 1 month pass.

Op de reservering staat mijn roepnaam en niet de eerste naam die in mijn paspoort staat, is dat een probleem als de conducteur het opmerkt? 

Hi all!Just a quick question, has anyone else noticed it’s not possible to reserve a seat on the Oslo-Bergen train? I tried reserving one on almost every day in August and September on the interrail website but I get a “ Prices unavailable” error on all the trains.But when I check the vy.no website there’s still plenty of seats available. Is calling the only option here? I prefer anything else because of the international calling charges.Thanks for any answers to this!!

I want to go from hamburg altona to copenhagen on 21st july (seat reservation required on interrail website).On interrail website seat reservations are not possible to make because of errors so i tried on DB website but i saw this type of error on db site:booking via www.bahn.de is not available for this connection. This is most often the case when it comes to regional trains, short distance trains or trains with a reservation obligation

Hi! I'm new here, I'm going to travel from Brussels to Amsterdam and on this train I need the "required supplement". My question is, can I purchase it directly from the train or can the purchase only be done online. Thank you

Travelling to Paris to Berlin in September with wife. We have Eurail Global Pass ‘15 days in 2 months’.Reserved seats at Eurail. At time of reservation, I could only reserve the journey leg from Paris to Frankfurt but not Frankfurt to Berlin leg of journey. Change over at Frankfurt HBF is 20 minutes and that at Erfurt HBF is 27 minutes. Eurail charges €8 seat reservation fee per passenger for Frankfurt to Erfurt, and another €8 per passenger for Erfurt to Berlin. I understand European trains are not always on time. I read that if you have a single booking from point A to B, you missed a connection due to train delay you are able to catch the next train by just getting on the train. However, say if you bought the a ticket from Paris to Frankfurt with Eurail (my case Eurail got the reservations via Belgium National Rail) and Frankfurt to Berlin with another company (not Eurail or Belgium Rail) you have to pay for the Frankfurt to Berlin ticket agin.Questions:Is there enough time for chan
