Solved

I am sure these questions have been asked before but i couldnt quite find the answers I need.My first trip is from Germany (my home country) to London. Is this already a travel day? I read on the “travel in your own country” site that outbound and inbound journeys are not extra travel days. My second question is if i can travel through Germany during my trip. I am planning on traveling from Paris to the Gardasee. I found a trip with a transition in Munich. Can I take this trip?

Hi We’re exploring options for our trip and are slightly confused as trip options which come up under ‘Rail Europe’ don’t appear as options under the interrail - one of the journeys is TGV but the others aren’t. Has anyone else experienced this and if so can you advise on why and how this happens? Another thing is that we’d reserved seats with Deutsche Bahn for a journey which now no longer exists and they never let us know - so now it looks as if we’ll arrive at 11pm rather than 9pm (with a 9 year old in tow so not best pleased).Happy to provide more details but any general advice to start with would be gratefully received. Thanks

The RailPlanner app (v 30.7.0 on Android) shows contradictory information about seat reserverations in InterCity (IC) trains in France:when searching they are shown as requiring seat reseverations and   https://www.interrail.eu/en/plan-your-trip/reservations/reservations-france says InterCity trains require seat reservertions and on the train itself it is written that reservations are mandatory   But:there were apparently passengers in the IC without any reservation the RailPlanner app shows reservations as optional for ICs in the country information screen (The ¹ there just says “Reservations are mandatory for trains in Normandy.”, which does not apply.) The connection is the IC 4659 from Toulouse to Narbonne.

Hi, my son is using interrail and will arrive next Thursday in Budapest. From Budapest he wants to travel to Greece but he can't find any trains. If I look at all the questions in this community  regarding Greece, there seem/seemed to go no (international) trains to and from Greece. What are the available options for him if he still wants to visit Greece? Best regards,Marcel

Hi all, I have a 3 month global pass and used my outbound travel to start this journey.I’m coming back to France and probably using my inbound day end of this month.I’d like to then travel again in june and take a brussels to london eurostar.I have read here and there that the app detects that you enter your COR (country of residence) so I’m wondering if my plan will work or not. It would be quite a pity i guess if it were the case. Thanks in advance for your helpful advice!

Hallo ZusammenBin gerade an der Planung für meine Interrail-Tour durch einige osteuropäische Länder. Habe allerdings ein Problem, Sitzplätze für folgende Züge zu reservieren:EC104 Wien Hbf. ab 14.10 - Katovice an 18.46 Uhr am 18.06.23IC 116 Katovice ab 08.13 - Praha Hl. n. an 13.45 Uhr am 21.06.23 Beide Züge konnte ich weder über das Interrail-Tool, noch die Websites der ÖBB und CD buchen. Auch ein Besuch in einem Reisezentrum der SBB vor etwa 2 Wochen brachte mich nicht wirklich weiter. Mir wurde mitgeteilt, dass der Verkauf von Sitzplatzreservationen nach Polen für diesen Zeitraum gesperrt sei.Durch Herumprobieren habe ich bemerkt, dass ich die Züge innerhalb von Österreich und Tschechien ohne Probleme reservieren könnte, nur nach Polen sind die Reservationen für jedes Reisedatum ab dem 11. Juni nicht verfügbar.Weiss jemand, wo genau da das Problem liegt (finden zu jener Zeit irgendwelche Streckensperrungen auf dem polnischen Abschnitt statt)? Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, irgendwie mit

Hallo zusammen,ich nutze den Interrail One Country Pass. Kann ich mit einem durchgehenden ICE vom Zielland in mein Heimatland zurückreisen, wenn ich den Interrail Pass nur bis zum Grenzbahnhof nutze und von dort ein eigenes Ticket habe?

We have our passes and we are trying to book seats from Paris to Lucerne.  We can book seats from Paris to Basel but there is not an option to purchase seats from Basel to Lucerne.  I know we change trains in Basel but how do we purchase seats on the Basel to Lucerne segment?  Appreciate your help.

Hello, I am planning a trip to Sweden this summer. For that i intend to buy a global pass with 5 travel days within one month. The interrail website states that it is not possible to take a nighttrain on the last day that the pass is valid. However, if my pass is valid for example from the first of July to the first of August, but the 23rd of July is already my fifth travel day, is it then allowed to take a nighttrain from 23rd to 24th of July and basically drive on 6 days? Theoratically the pass is still valid on that day but Im out of travel days…Thanks for helping

I have the 3 month global Eurail pass, I have read that it includes some ferries, does anyone know how I find out with ferries it includes/excludes and how I apply it to get discounts on the ferries or if I need to be the ferry eurail pass as well? 

How can I change my seat on a train reservation? Because me and my girlfriend have booked some tickets but now we are scattered around the train in all the trips.

Hi, New to the forum, but have ‘done’ a couple of Interrail trips in the past couple of years. Am going to be travelling from Copenhagen to Hamburg and then onto Nuremberg on 26 August. As I understand, seat reservations are compulsory on the direct trains between Copenhagen and Hamburg in the summer months, and these are extremely popular with demand outstripping supply, so I’m keen to book the seats asap. I note seat reservations aren’t yet available on the DSB website. Bahn.de, however, is showing services for that day and is suggesting a change at Fredericia. The Interrail website says the same thing, adding that reservations are optional.  Is this correct? I note looking at dates before 26 August trains are terminating at Hamburg Altona, so I’m wondering if there are engineering works that day that mean the direct trains cannot run? Thanks in advance for your help.

It‘s very expensive to make a reservation from Paris to London. Can I avoid this?

I am trying to reserve a seat on a train from Derby to St Pancras. Using the Eurorail app it says a reservation is not necessary but I want to reserve a seat as I know the train can get very busy. My Global pass is for 1st class travel. How do I do it?! Thank you

How to book first class and sleeper trains on the app

Hello,I live in the UK but in order to get the most out of my pass, I’m wondering whether to just take the Eurostar to Belgium with an ordinary Eurostar ticket (ie not the pass) and then start using the pass in Belgium. I’m also not sure that I want to do a round trip which returns to my country of residence - can I do this or does my final travel day have to be back to my country of residence? Thanks
