Solved

Hi everyone :)My partner and I are planning to travel from the UK to Germany on Friday 16th December but there will be rail strikes on that day. LNER trains to London will probably still be running but if their regular strike schedule is anything to go by there won’t be a train early enough for us to catch our Eurostar connection (since we are coming down from Scotland).Now, National Rail says that if you have a ticket for a strike day you can also use on the day before or after - would the same be fine with the Interrail pass (i.e. can we activate our ticket for the whole way for Friday and then use that to travel the leg to London on Thursday just like you would do with a regular ticket?) I’m just a bit worried that the conductors but be a  bit fussy about this since it’s technically a flexible ticket (even though we have already booked our Eurostar journeys out and back into the country and therefore don’t have any inbound/ountbound journey left to allocate)Does anyone here have any

Hello everybody,I have booked my pass as a mobile ticket, only to then find out that my phone is too old for the Rail Planner-App. So now I need to cancel my ticket again to buy myself a paper pass instead. But I have already made a reservation for the Eurostar from London to Bruxelles and am anxious to lose that as there are only a limited number of seats available for people with interrail passes. Does anybody know if I will lose my reservation when I cancel my pass?Thank you so much for your help!

Hello,I made a trip and reservation after I had activated my pass, on the app Rail Planner.I change phone since and now I started my travel but I can't find again on the app all my trip and reservations. I'm really worried...If I try to put the pass again in the app, it tells me that the pass was already used. I can't find how to connect to my account and my first train trip is the 26/11, so very soon.Someone can help me please ?

Looking to travel from London to Paris on 17th Dec for 4 on 1st Class. Unable to make seat reservations. Understand it might be tight on the seats. But Eurostar websites seem to have seats. What can i do to make the seat reservations. I dont want to spend money on this leg from London to Paris on top of Eurail Global Pass. Does going to the train station in person work? But i will only be in London on 15th. By that time, the ticket might really be sold out. What is my options?

I plan on booking a train from Netherlands to Poland on 25th of December. Do trains work in that day? Will I reach my destination?

My original plan was to travel from London to Paris on Dec 30th, 2022, however, there were no 1st class reservations available, so I reserved a train on Dec 31st, 2022 before they were sold out. I’m traveling with a Global Pass.When it comes to Eurostar quotas, once they’re used, are they gone forever?Is there a possibility that availability may open up if someone cancels, etc.?I have been checking a couple times a day. The change fee would be worth it, rather than trying to change hotel reservations.Thank you.

The Eurostar website showed seats available for London to Paris. The Eurail website did not show any seats available. 1/ Why is that? 2/ We could not work out how to book the seats on the Eurostar website using our Eurail pass. Is this possible at all?

Hey guys;I used one of the inbound/outbound traveldays for travelling through Germany via nighttrain (Zurich - Amsterdam). Now I wanted to travel the same way back and the app doesn't asks me the inbound/outbound question. Only if set a German city as starting point on the trip, not Amsterdam.What can I do now??? Train leaves in 1,5 h.Kind regardsNoah * I found the answer by doing a trick:1. I choosed first the route Amsterdam - Duisburg, and activated inbound/outbound travelday and deleted it afterwards.2. I choosed then the original trip Amsterdam - Basel SBB. It's faster from there with other trains.

Dear Community, It says I can activate the global pass within 11 months of purchase. If I buy a 3 month global pass, and I activate it in month 11 (before it expires), do I then still have 3 months to travel with it, or do I need to activate it latest 8 months after pruchase to stay in the time frame of 11 months? I don’t find it clearly communicated in the text. At least not for me. 

Hi.I realise the answer is likely “not set in stone”, so this question really goes out to anyone with long standing knowledge of the pricing of the Eurail/Interrail passes.Clearly the price will go up over time. And the 11 month validity makes it possible to buy the passes well in advance. So, I’m contemplating buying passes for the family for travel in Italy next May - in case the price is hiked in the meantime.Anyone forum sages able to take an educated guess when the next price increase might be?Many thanks.PB

Good morning all, I’m attempting to book a reservation required train from London to Holyhead on Jan 4th, 2023, while it appears that there are several trains scheduled, I’m not finding anything that is bookable. Avanti West Coast is showing the timetable is not confirmed yet (just that week and some weeks).Is this likely to change?Is this due to the ongoing strikes?is this something that I may have to do when I arrive in the UK?If not, this may turn out to be an overnight adventure.Thanks again,Ron

I'm trying to claim my travel insurance for DB trains delay/cancellation. However the insurance company requested a certificate issued by the train company to prove that my train was literally cancelled/delayed. I didn’t ask them for the certificate when I was in the train station and am leaving Europe very soon. I only screen caped my Eurail pass itineraries and the mobile tickets (original itinerary and the new one due to original train cancellation/delay). How can I ask for the delay/cancellation certificate from DB? Or will Eurail issue me one since I booked my trains through their app.

Hello, My 4 friends and I are planning a trip in beginning in April and ending in May. We are visiting Spain, France, Italy and Greece. We have some flights so we are only accounting for 5-6 train days while in Spain, France and Italy. We were looking at the 2 months with 10 days of travel (the eurail global pass). But we are wondering how if these extra days will pay off while being in Greece. And how the ferries in Greece work woth the global pass? We would like the cheapest option and one that makes the most sense. Let us know what you would recommend. Thanks, Hilary

We have traveled paris last few weeks. We could not use 3-day pass due to being unwell and rail strike. We had used only 1 day. Would like to get the refund for the unused portion of pass. thanks

I cant make a reservation for my family on the Eurostar from London to Paris in 3 months with my europe rail pass. The website reservations site keeps saying:Not available for some travellersSome of your travellers' Passes are not valid on this train. Change your selected travellers to book this seat reservation Any ideas? Are they out of tickets?

I have contacted Interrail for changing to an earlier Eurostar train at the same time. However, they have not responded, is there a way of changing the ticket? How does Interrail respond fast? Also, can the starting date of an Interrail Pass be potentially be changed to a day earlier?

I ordered an EU mobile pass through Klook but I cant add my pass by the number of Klook’s voucher. Rail Planner said that my details dont match although I have tried so many times in many ways to fill my information correctly. How can I add my pass? Is there any solution for me?

I have tried multiple times to book a reservation for two from Brussels to Paris on the morning Thalys train (details below).  Each time I get all the way through to the payment screen and enter my credit card info and then when I hit the Pay button the form thinks a bit then comes back with an empty pay screen - like I never entered anything.  No error message, no confirmation, no charges to my card (as far as I can see), no reservation saved for my trip.  This is really frustrating and doesn’t give me much confidence in booking reservations through the Eurail page (this is my first try).  I guess I can book through one of the other sites, but I was hoping to keep everything in one place.  If I book through www.b-europe.com how does the reservation interacty with my Eurail pass, if at all?  If I book over there do I just print my reservation? Friday 9 December 2022 08:13 - 09:35Bruxelles-Midi (Belgium) To Paris Nord (France)USD $49Booking FeeUSD $3.92Total priceIncluding taxesUSD $52.

I'm planning for Europe trip to visit 5 countries in 14 days.Italy, Switzerland, France , Belgium, Netherlands.. These are the countries in my plan.  Can anyone suggest the best passes to buy and some travel tips please? My itinerary is yet to be prepared.   

I have a problem with mobile application today. I am not abble to see my QR code. Application worked previous day, QR code was visible, but I am not abble to save the journey and see my pass today.

Hi everyone! I am trying to book two train reservations for a weekend in Berlin (for the way there and back). December 9th till December 12th. But every time I add the reservation to my cart, check all my information and I want to check out, it shows this message: It looks like the train is still available, so I don’t really understand why this keeps happening. I made reservations before with the same account, so I don’t think it has anything to do with my account. Hoping someone here knows what to do :) 

Hi Good Day,I got the Eurail Global pass at Basel SBB and then I was told that I can also travel everywhere in Switzerland free. Does this act as a travel day if I use it in Switzerland or only when I cross the border.

Can anybody definitively confirm that IC trains in Italy do or do not require reservations for pass users?My experience a couple of months ago was my reservation was checked. Interrail planner says reservation required, but on here and Facebook several experienced contributors say they are optional.Italiarail - Trenitalia’s official partner also says reservations are required. I am always concerned that Newbies get the correct information as on board. It is no good saying “I thought...” or “ I was told by …...”, when they have the uniform and the rule book on their side.

I have a 10 day first class pass, not activated, and have already purchased through SBCB reservations for Eurostar and TGV.I now wish to exchange the pass for one with fewer journeys and even though this is a reduction in value to Interrail I understand that I can do this for a 15 Euro fee. Will my existing reservations (for which I had to generate a pass cover number) be valid with the new pass?Thanks, Scott

I’m tryiung to fill out my itinerary. Only very few cities are listed. When I type in the names of those I want, they aren’t featured. Is interrail only for a small number of cities, or is there a way to use the whole rail network? Thanks
