Solved

Hi all!Sorry if this question has been asked before, I can't manage to find it.  I haven't bought my ticket yet, as I'm trying to figure out what is the smartest in terms of money. This is my situation: I live in France, and I want to travel around in the Netherlands. That would mean I'd buy a Benelux Pass.Getting to the Netherlands requires me to travel with the Eurostar. From Paris to Rotterdam. I have a few questions about this: 1. I think I've read somewhere that for this Eurostar ticket (Paris-Rotterdam) my interrail pass would work, as I think it's allowed to take 1 train in your country (france, paris) to get to your country of destination. Is that correct? Or would my pass only be valid from Brussels - Rotterdam? Because I read that too somewhere, so i'm a bit confused.I know that you have to reserve a seat on this Eurostar train. I just can't seem to find if there will be an additional fee for this reservation? Otherwise getting an interrail pass might not make sense. I alread

I am struggling to reserve seats for travel from Paris to Reims on 2 July. The train appears in the timetable, but I am unable to make a reservation. Can anyone advise me on how to reserve seats, please? Would it be possible to reserve seats via my local ticket office (ScotRail)?

I am looking to travel via train later in the year and currently in the planning stages. I am from the UK and looking to travel to Poland for an event. Due to the length of travel I’m wondering if it is possible to fly into somewhere in Europe and then start my railling journey or do I have to leave from my country of residence and plan in the long journeys?  

Hey,ich möchte am 01.03.2026 von Lyon Part-Dieu nach Barcelona Sants fahren. Im Rail Planner wird die Verbindung zwar als möglich angezeigt, bei der Buchung kann ich den Sitzplatz jedoch nicht reservieren, da Barcelona Sants nicht als Zielort auswählbar ist. Kann mir jemand dabei helfen oder weiß, woran das liegt? Vielen Dank!

I want to go from Paris to Stuttgart with TGV on the 9th of May and cannot make an obligatory seat reservation neither with the connection from interrail to SNCF North directly on the SNCF homepage .how to do it?

We are travelling from London to Leipzig in a couple of months and have reserved seats on Eurostar and the night train from Brussels to Berlin.In Leipzig we will be having some day trips,  eg Eisenach, on local trains where reservations are not necessary or sometimes even possible. And we will  want the flexibility in our return time.I am not clear how we will use our passes.  Do we just hop on a train and show our pass? Or do we need to activate the jourey once we are actually on the train?

Some info for people traveling on Rhatische Bahn between Chur - St Moritz - Tirano.Hi, this is just to let you know that I observed new? restrictions on the rhatische bahn, which i haven’t experienced earlier.This morning I was planning to take the RE train from Tirano to Chur, which i’ve done many time. And i didn’t have a reservations, because it’s not compulsory and I relied on the 1st Class Pass.But this time, a queueing system was in operation where you first have to get boarding cards for the train. Waiting time: about 2 trains, (2 hours). (Actually I think the EU passenger rights would apply here)So, please note that you can’t rely on actually taking the train you had in mind, and making your connections, when traveling on RE 9 or R9 of ratische bahn from one of the terminus stations. The new queuing system could be in operation….In the end I walked to the next station, and took the next train from there… (Here I am talking about the regular trains, not the Bernina Express)  

I want to travel from Brussels MIdi to Amsterdam Centraal in March.  When I enter my Global Pass information it says the trains are free.   This means that I am blocked from making a reservation. I would like to confirm my seats.  How do I do this?Also, how long should i typically need to transfer trains in the same station?

Hi! i wanna go from Utrecht to Kopenhagen on the 4th of January. But im not sure what to do with my reservation on the ICE from hamburg to KPH, so any help would be nice:)) there are two options:Option 1 is at 14:47, interrail says a reservation is not needed, but DB says the train is fully booked (so i cant make a reservation anyway), can I still board the train? and just sit somewhere and hope for the best? Via the interrail site, i can however still make the reservation, so that would also be an option? (although it feels weird that I can make a seat reservation via interrail but not Db’s?) The second option is the ICE at 16:49. Interrail says I need a seat reservation for that one, and DB says that I can still book the seat via their website. My preference would be option 1 bc my partner is taking that train, but he already has a seat reserved. I guess I can always go for option 2 but was wondering what my prospects are at option1 . ANy help is appreciated, thanks:) also small side

I have an interrail pass and I'm travelling with a friend who has a Eurorail pass, how can we ensure we reserve train seats together on our journeys?

I want to make sure I understand how it all works.  I purchase the pass now (7 travel days), travelling in May 2026.  I can activate the pass now or later.  I must activate the pass to be able to reserve on trains.  I can reserve starting 90 days prior to train travel date, but not before. Do I have to do anything for my pass at any train stations or do I just show up and board my train?Appreciate your time!

I have the Eurail pass for my family of 4 and I had uploaded all passes to the app with start date later this summer. Then I went to wesbite to book our seats for a train leaving on June 1st. However, all the times I selected won’t highlight “add to cart.’ Does that mean I’m trying to book too far in advance, but the schedule table is too far out? OR is it because there’s an asterisk saying there are limited seats? I have 1st class passes, is it not feasible to book for all four of us at once? TIA!

Where i Rail Planner do you delete a journey?

It is difficult to find an Train from Paris to Chartres in the afternoon in May. Does anybody have an idea. There are works on that route.

I have an unactivated pass whose last possible activation date was in November. I bought it in December 2024 under refund policy version 7, which provides for a 6 month period after last possible activation date to request a refund. I had purchased the Refund protection option which allows for a total refund except the cost of the option. Yet when I go to the respective order’s details page, the “Return your pass” button is not there, unlike for more recent passes that I bought on 17 December this year. How to request the refund?

I opened an account in my name. Then ordered two global plus passes for partner and I. we both downloaded the app and she loaded her pass using the code. We then planned a trip and made several reservations on trains while logged in as me on the website. These appeared on my app but not on hers. How do we get the reservation details to her phone? She does not have her own interrail account as yet. Should she just log in using my details?
