Solved

Hi, I have booked a train from Vienna to Krakow through OBB website, with Global Pass discount and paid for the seat reservations. Trouble I am having is that the train I booked through OBB (depart Vienna 1210 on 18th December) isn't showing in the rail planner app.My question is how/what do I need to do to ensure I am able to board the train and add it to my Eurail Pass?Thanks, 

Hello 👋,I’m planning a trip to Poland this summer and one of my train is provided by die Länderbahn which is a train company but I can’t find if the train is included in the global pass or not. Can someone help me please ? 

Hello everyone, just now I was trying to book seat reservation for a train from London to Edinburgh in July. The system didn’t show any availability because July is still too far away. So I tested with an earlier date just to see how the reservation system works. I put in a random date and followed the steps by selecting a random train and a random seat type. (I didn’t really understand the differences among all the seat types) Then I clicked continue, the next thing it shows my booking is completed, and it also says on the page “you can’t amend or refund this booking”. I couldn’t find any options to cancel or delete this order as it was only for a test. Does anyone know what I can do in this situation?Thank you in advance.🙏 

I live in Saarbrücken and want to purchase a France Rail Pass to travel to Bordeaux. I'm not sure whether I can use the pass for the Forbach–Paris segment of the ICE/TGV route from Saarbrücken–Forbach–Paris. (I know the Saarbrücken–Forbach segment requires a separate ticket.)Besides the cost of the pass itself, what other fees do I need to pay? (TGV/ICE reservation fees? Seat reservation fees?)I'm new to rail passes—thanks in advance for any answers.

Hello. I have bought my pass and am now trying to book train and seats but struggling. We are travelling from Cardiff in July 2026 to London and then around France. When I add my route in the planner no trains appear so I don't understand how I get to see the trains or book seat reservations. Do I need to activate my journey in the pass section. Thank you for any advice. 

Hi!So, I just had a run-in with an inspector on the Deutsche Bahn which has resulted in a fine being sent to my home.I live in Germany but I'm from the UK. Recently I had to travel to the UK twice in quick succession and did the "in between" bit by Interrail, like this:- Day 1: UK- Day 2: UK -> Germany (inbound)- Day 3: Germany -> border (outbound)- Day 4: Belgium -> UKToday is day 3. The inspector told me with total confidence that I could not use my outbound journey after my inbound journey and has therefore sent a charge to my home for a ticket today. I showed him the Interrail T&Cs but he refused to accept that.I think I already know that he is wrong and so I think I should be able to appeal this. The Interrail site is pretty clear. But it's a lot of money and I'd like some peace of mind. So here are my questions:- Am I definitely in the right?- How do I go about appealing this charge?- Can anyone report success with this kind of appeal?Thanks in advance!Simon.

Hi,I am to buy an Interrail Italy mobile pass.I note that many local trains are not on my railplanner App.I will be in Rimini and as an example my app only shows one train to Ravenna each day at 21:29. There are many teains, around 1 train per hour through the day.So, if I were to use the 08:43 Rimini to Revanna as my first train of the day, and it is not on the Railplanner app how would I validate that days travel please??Thank you.Peter

Bonjour. J'ai acheté unPass Interrail Global Plus Senior Classe 2 pour mon papa. Mon papa est résident français et de nationalité française.Nous avons téléchargé l'application. Nous avons ajouté le pass à l'application et entré le numéro de carte d'identité.Nous avons associé un voyage à notre pass. Au moment de réserver les places assises, nous n'avons eu que l'option eurail. Pas d'option interail.Mon père étant français et résident en France, nous devrions avoir l'option interail.Que puis-je faire ?

Hello everyone, I hope this question has not been asked too many times - if so, I cannot find it :// My first travel day will be December 4th. From what I have read, I then have to activate my pass tomorrow, December 3rd. I have a 1-month, 5 travel day mobile pass. I have reserved seats for my last trip for January 3rd. Now I am panicking that my pass might only be valid until January 2nd, since I already activate it on December 3rd. Can anyone help me out here with telling me what my last day is? Thank you Interrail experts <3

Hi All,I and my spouse are planning a Europe trip for about 12 days covering Switzerland (6 days), Paris (3 day) and Amsterdam (2 days) with trains as primary mode of transport I am confused between which pass to buy does Euro global pass give discounts in Swiss and should it be active example I take a 4 day pass in 15 days can I keep 4 days days for Paris and Amsterdam or do I need to activate pass for days in Switzerland as well. Also outside of Switzerland bulk of the journey will be between Amsterdam - Zurich and Zurich - Paris does it make sense to buy a Euro Pass?Best Regards,Prasanna

We are travelling to Europe in Feb/Mar 2026. We are based in Cham, Switzerland and plan on visiting Rome, Florence, Milan, Munich, Paris and then some smaller trips from Cham/Zurich accross the border to Germany etc. We arrive 19 Feb and leave Mar 20. My questions are:Would it be worthwhile getting the Eurail? Most of our travel to tourist attractions will be via train. Would a 1 month pass cover Feb to Mar or would that count as two months? I dont understand the concept of “travel days” - can someone please explain.Apologies if these are dumb questions but this is our first time abroad. ThanksSavanna

Hi the community ! Is there a solution to travel trough Maribor because I saw that the company operating the trains is OBB?Is there a solution to use a train between Lesce and Ljubjana without reservation?Thanks

Which is the genuine Interail or Interrail ?

Hey! I’ve just bought my global pass for 3 months next year - so excited! As part of my trip I want to get a ferry from Dubrovnik and then island hop around Greece. Is it possible to get a ferry and what pass will I need? Unsure whether to buy the four day Greece pass or whether to just get them when I get there?

Hi. I'm booked to travel from. Vienna to Zürich tomorrow (Tuesday) and have reserved a seat. However I can't travel tomorrow and want to change the booking to Wednesday. Where can I do this? Thanks 

Last week I bought two 4-day passes and two 5-day passes for my partner and me.Now I want to make seat reservations on the 4-day passes. But I can’t see what is the 4-day and what the 5-day pass. See picture (our names have been blacked out). 

transfer from arlanda airport to stockolm by trin is included without using a day of the 4 I have in the OCP

Can the pass be used on any of the ferries to cherbourg as the planner won’t allow me to route any way apart from eurostar. I was looking at portsmouth to cherbourg . thanks

Hi y'all!, I bought a ticket for my Christmas trip to Spain (I live in Germany) I know I can go, but could I do my back trip to Germany with the same ticket?  Thank you!, have a nice day 😊

I plan to travel from Sweden to Switzerland in mid December using my Interrail pass and - as I currently don’t have a GA/Half fare card - use one of my three I/O-days to reach my hometown near Lucerne. As I arrive in Basel from Hamburg by night train, I will arrive at home hopefully in the late morning.  So far so easy.Now I have the idea to make a round trip to Bern for visiting some friends in the evening of the same day. According to numerous posts here in the community, I can use my Interrail also for those trips.SBB, on the other hand, clearly states on their website, that I may use the I/O days only for travelling once to and once from the boarder stations or the airports. This post here in the community suggest that (at least some) train staff is rather strict with that rule.My question is: Should I rather buy a separate (expensive) ticket for the round trip or is it indeed legal to use my Interrail?

I bought an Interrail Pass a couple of days ago and after that I booked the mandatory reservation for the Eurostar to London. Now I would like to exchange my Interrail Pass (from 4 days to 5 days). My question is: Will my Eurostar reservation still be valid for the new Interrail Pass although I had to enter the pass number during the reservation process and the new Interrail Pass will have a different pass number? (I am talking about the Interrail pass number, not my passport number!) My new Interrail Pass will of course be valid on the day I made the reservation for and it will still be a Global Pass, 2nd class, like the previous one. Thanks for your help.

Hello, I am currently planning my first trip to Istanbul. From Istanbul, I would like to follow the itinerary recommended by the Interrail website at this link (departing from Istanbul to Paris): https://www.interrail.eu/fr/plan-your-trip/trip-ideas/recommended-routes/classic-routes/london-istanbul-train-route However, I can't find any recent articles confirming that I will be able to travel from Istanbul to Sofia and then from Sofia to Craiova in March. Can anyone confirm that these connections exist? If so, which European cities can be reached from Istanbul? Thank you very much in advance for your help !

Help needed - I'm trying to organise an itinerary for my 19 year old daughter and myself for December 25 Jan 26. With the schedule I’ve currently organised all we will be doing is sitting on a train travelling from town to town. SHe’s here for 3 weeks. What is the ideal amount of travel v’s staying in one town/city. Currently she flies into Frankfurt, then I thought 2 nights in Amsterdam, 3 nights in Munich (we have family here), then 4 nights in Garmisch-Partenkirchen for Christmas. Then Venice for 1 night, Milan for 2 nights, Nice for 1 night, Barcelona for 3 nights, Paris for 3 nights then back to Frankfurt for 1 night as that’s where she will fly out from.Is this too much travelling around? Should I cut one or two places out and concentrate on the other destinations. THis is VERY hard. Open to all suggestions.Thanks

Hello everyone, I will start my journey in Spain and I will travel to Germany (my home country). After this journey I will travel back to Spain. So for example at day 3 I will travel from Paris to Germany  and at day 4 I will travel from Germany to Paris and continue my journey to Spain. Can I use the in- and outbound journey days in this order when my home country is Germany?  Thanks for your help!

I will be travelling around Germany in December. Frankfurt > Cologne $Euro111Cologne > Nuremberg $Euro159Nuremberg > MunichMunich > Vienna I find that the Eurail pass seems cheaper at 2 pax for USD $500.Whereas the DB train ticket price is as above. Are there any cheaper options out there still?Would also like to check is it a must to do seat reservation?
