Solved

Is there a way to group 6 people traveling together for multiple bookings across Europe with different surnames, so everyone books exactly the same trains. My son is part of a group, travelling after A Levels with friends and we want to keep the logistics of booking as simple as possible so no trains times become confused.They are all using youth tickets, 15 days over 2 months TIA TJ

Hi everybody,I am currently staying in Zagreb and I am leaving in two days (17-1-2023). I need to get to Istanbul by the end of the month due to a flight I have the on the first of February from Istanbul airport. I was planning to travel there through either Belgrade or Sarajevo and then Sofia. But this morning I found out that it isn’t possible to go to Sofia through Belgrade or Sarajevo. I found an alternative route through Budapest, Bucharest, Sofia and then Istanbul (if it’s possible/practicable I could skip Sofia and go to Istanbul directly from Bucharest). But here some problems emerge:firstly I only have three traveling days left, and I don't think that is enough to cover the entire journey. secondly I know how to travel from Zagreb to Bucharest. But not the rail planner app doesn’t show any trains from Bucharest to Sofia (in fact Sofia train stations don’t appear at all) or Istanbul.I am planning to stay a few nights in Budapest. Hopefully I can figure a way out to get to Istan

Hi everyone!In a few days I would like to cross the border between Sweden and Finland through Haparanda-Tornio. I have read on the Interrail website that this cannot be done by train therefore there is a bus connection included in the pass. I don't know if this is due to covid but it seems there is no bus crossing the border for the moment.On Maps it seems like the distance between Haparanda and Tornio train stations is about 1 hour walking distance. I don't mind doing that but I would like to be sure it is possible and my only option to join Finland up north.Has anyone done that recently and could help? :)Thanks in advance!Laura

HelloI just book seat reservation in Website of the Traincompany, choose time and day, payed and got PDF tickets.What i have to do now in the app?I have to put manually on my trip?Do the reservations appear in the app?Daniela Silva

Hallo, ich plane einen Urlaub in Italien, wohne in Deutschland.Möchte gern den Global Pass nutzen, damit ich die An-/ und Abreise aus dem Wohnsitzland nutzen kann.Nun stelle ich mir folgende Fragen:Ich möchte mit dem Nachtzug von München nach Rom (Abfahrt ca 20 Uhr, Ankunft ca. 9 Uhr) und genauso zurückfahren. Geht das ? Und zählen der An- und Abreisetag schon als “Travel days” ? Sprich, wenn ich z.B. einen Global Pass mit 5 Reisetagen kaufe, sind dann durch An- und Abreise schon 2 Tage verbraucht ?Ich werde aus der Website nicht so richtig schlau, vielleicht kann mit hier jemand helfen. Liebe Grüße,Maria

I had read on the site travel days on mobile passes last from 00:00 to 23:59 CET, which is 23:00-22:59 GMT.  However, when adding the Night Riviera, that leaves Paddington at 23:45 GMT (= 00:45 CET), the app forces me to activate the GMT day as a travel day (the previous day on CET).  Am I understanding the travel day policy wrong, or is the app not working correctly? Had I known earlier I would have planned otherwise (possibly the day train to Cornwall & back by sleeper).

Good evening. I would like to travel in March to Bucuresti (RO). I want to do a stop in between in Budapest (HU) for a day or two. Should I book 2 separat tickets or rather a europass?

Hi fellas, I am new to this community but I alredy have one question for you. I am from Italy but I would like to start my journey from another country, probably Sweden or Poland: is it possible? Or do I have to “waste” the first of my travel days, the oudbound one, because it is mandatory to start the journey form your country? Thank you for your time,Laapo :)

Hello,  is it possible right now to enter russia by train ? have anyone done it? thanks :)

With an Interrail pass I’m usually arriving at a train station and need to continue my travel by local bus to arrive at my final destination.Is such public regular nearby transportation included with the Interrail pass?

Beste mede interrailer,Ik wil vanaf 8 februari met mijn digitale Interrail Global Pas naar Gallivare in Zweden reizen, omdat ik graag het noorderlicht wil zien. Voor deze reis heb ik alle treinen al gekoppeld aan mijn pas. Echter voor een viertal treinreizen is een stoelreservering verplicht. En dat is het probleem, omdat het me niet lukt om deze stoelreserveringen te kopen. Ik heb al van alles geprobeerd, maar helaas geen resultaat. Is er iemand, die mij verder kan helpen? Hartelijk dank 

I'm planning a trip with some friends in July, mostly through Switzerland. One day we need to travel from Tirano to Lugano.Now, there is the Bernina Express bus but it's only one per day and you need to pay 16 CHF for reservation. I looked at the train schedule for the upcoming months and there is a train with a transfer in Monza, Italy (close to Milan) which should take 3h50 in total. However, I can't see this journey after the 10th of June. I assume this is because they haven't updated the schedule that far in the future? My question is, when will it be updated? And can I be sure that there will in fact be trains from Tirano to Lugano that day, in the afternoon? If not, I should book reservations for the bus since there are not a lot of seats left and it would then be the only way to get to Lugano. 

Hello !I would like to travel from Liechtenstein to Brussels by train. To do this, I have to do Liechtenstein Zurich, then Zurich Frankfurt and then Frankfurt Brussels.My question is, when I book this journey on the Interrail app, will the app offer me to pay a supplement for the part where the train runs in Liechtenstein (since Liechtenstein is not part of the Interrail agreement)? Or how does it work ?Thank you very much for your help !

j’aimerais voyager avec mon fils de 11 ans et notre chien (Colley hyper sociable et sage,  habituée aux trains).  Par contre, savez-vous comment je peux savoir à l’avance quelles sont les compagnies qui accepteront le chien et dans quelles conditions? quels sont aussi les pays les plus friendly dog de l’Europe? je choisirai mes destinations en fonction de cela…je ne compte pas non plus prendre uniquement des trains nationaux et grande vitesse. savez-vous aussi me dire comment je peux voir si les trains entre deux destinations sont des trains de nuit ou pas? merci à la communauté des backpackeurs :) :)adeline

Hi, I was just hoping for some assistance. I have booked a couchette cabin on the 9.27pm overnight train tomorrow (January 14th) to Vienna. (Attached train screenshot. I am now trying to add the train journey to my eurail app however it does not seem to exist in the app? (I have also attached screenshot)Would someone possible know why this is? I am worried for if we get on the train with the seat reservation but the eurail pass can’t find the train.thank you!  

Hello! I have the one month 2nd class Eurail global pass and I am trying to get from Basel to Paris in April 2023. I see I can get a direct train, but there is a high reservation fee. I have heard of a cheaper option to go from Strasbourg to Paris or Mulhouse Ville to Paris for a cheaper seat reservation. Unfortunately both the eurail website and https://travel.b-europe.com both say I can not book.I have been trying since early December and every time since I have gotten the same message: booking momentarily impossible. At first I thought it was from the holidays and then maybe after the new year, but I have been checking constantly and it looks like I can only book until March 26th. Since I need to travel in April I have no idea why it stops at that day and I am unable to book the seat reservation. I can also always take a longer train journey with no reservation but I guess I am just curious at this point why it is saying it’s impossible. I thought it might because of the Easter holi

Hi!  I am planning to go to Nyons in France from Sweden, with a stop in Switzerland. I will go from Geneva to Nyons on the 23 of January. In the app it proposes to take the bus between Montelimar and Nyons. (In the app it actually calls it train, but when searching for it I am pretty sure it’s a bus.) Since this is proposed in the app, does that mean it’s covered by the interrail ticket or will I have to buy a separate ticket?  How does one keep track of what the ticket covers and not? Especially when it seems like the app sometimes calls busses “trains”.  Very thankful for some help! 

Hi, I’m trying to get some help with my Interrail pass. I’ve been a European resident for over 15 years and therefore bought an interrail pass to travel in Europe. It seems that the interrail app doesn’t recognize my U.S. passport or my Dutch residence permit numbers. How can I travel with my pass in Europe? Customer service is not helping me with this matter saying I can exchange my pass for Eurorail. I’m not a resident of the U.S. and don’t think this is the solution to my problem. I’m feeling very frustrated and maybe I spent money on a ticket that I cannot use. My travel is coming up very soon and I would like to resolve the situation. There is no customer service number for me to call. What do I do? Thanks,Mariah

People! I have two questions and I really need a little help. I’m thinking about choose the Global Pass for a 30 days trip. My first question is related to the seat reservations. How much it costs for example 2 class London to Belgium? Or an avarage value. Any answer will help me. The second question is wether I can travel by train in tha same city, for example Paris to Paris or Madrid to Madrid.  I really appreciate your answers!!

My husband I will be in Spain for 2 weeks. We would want to stay in Madrid, take a high speed train to Barcelona, but also take day trips out of both cities. Is there an advantage to purchasing passes in advance or would it work to buy as we go??

Hello everybody, I have bought a seat reservation to go from Venice to Rome, but the date is incorrect. I need to cancel that, because I already have a new one which is correct.But when I press cancel button, it is said that this reservation is non-refundable. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to recover my money ?Regards.

When filling out a journey on paperpass what do you write if station name is longer than the space allowed on the ticket? For example Amsterdam central,  brussels central

Hello everyone,I am planning to travel from Budapest to Vienna. I would like to book it on the OBB website and I wanted to know if booking a reservation seat is enough for this route as I own an Interrail Pass.Because I saw somewhere that it was only valid if the travel was starting from Austria so I want to be sure that it is also possible if the departure is from Hungary (Budapest).Thank you for your help !
