Solved

Hallo,  Wir (2 Personen) wollten heute mit dem Zug von Vigo nach Barcelona. Hierfür muss man in Madrid umsteigen und für beide Züge braucht man eine Sitzplatzreservierung, die in jeweils in etwa 10€ kosten. Der Zug nach Madrid hatte Verspätung, so dass wir den Abschluss nicht bekommen haben und in Madrid an den Schalter gegangen sind. Dort hat man uns erklärt, dass es heute keine freien Sitzplatzreservierungen mehr für Interrailer nach Barcelona gibt. Also mussten wir uns normale Tickets in einem Zug für 90€ kaufen.  Meine Frage ist, ob ich eine Chance habe, zumindest einen Teil der Kosten für Sitzplatzreservierungen und neues Ticket zurück zu erhalten. Ich finde es immens unfair, dass wir alles richtig gemacht haben und weil Renfe seine Züge nicht pünktlich bekommt, wir jetzt auf brutal hohen Kosten sitzen bleiben. 

Toledo: I want to go to Toledo on Sep 7. I have been checking train schedules from Madrid to Toledo on the Rail Planner app; somehow the train schedule is only shown through Sep 3, but when I checked on the Eurail.com website, I could see train schedules all the way through the end of September. The problem is that I cannot reserve train ride on the website. What do I do? Train Seat Reservations: The Rail Planner app allows me to reserve train rides, but not train seat tickets. It seems the only option is to book at major train stations when I arrive in Madrid on Sep 3. I hope I will still be able to reserve seat tickets by then since I have already reserved a number of train rides on the app? I have purchased first-class Eurail Spain Pass. Any advice/tips are much appreciated! Thank you!

The Eurail site suggests there are no Eurail Aid offices in London, the UK generally, Paris or France.This is a major omission, especially since these are nations where a very large number of Eurailers commence their Pass usage.Are there any plans to rectify this? If Eurail Paper Passes don’t arrive in the mail, why can’t they simply be cancelled and reissued at such an office?  (I assume the answer may be ‘we can’t prevent fraud’). But latter could be minimised by ‘blacklisting’ particular Pass numbers if they were crosschecked against purchasers’ names.  In any case, they need a valid passport to accompany for validation at a ticket office.  

URGENT PLEASE I’m travelling tomorrow and I had a problem with my phone and when it got fixed I could’t connect my pass again. It says it’s already connected to another device. The customer service email don’t answer me it’s been 2 days already, I need my train tickets for tomorrow, please help!!!!

Hi community, I am planning a trip where I need to travel from the UK to France (via Eurostar) on a specific day - 12th September 2022.I am aware that I need to have a reservation to travel on the Eurostar with an Interrail pass. However, when I try to use the reservation tool to check if reservations, I’m not sure because it says the pass reservations have ‘mostly sold out’ - I only need 1 so as long as they are not completely sold out I’m fine!?   I don’t want to get a pass until I know I can travel. I have read some other threads in the forum about using the rail operators websites to check reservation there but as far as I understand Eurostar does not sell reservations without tickets. Tickets available but that doesn’t mean they would have Interrail reservations. 

In the topic “Issue - Facing difficulties to make reservations in Italy”, you said that you would contact Support on the problem of 1st class reservations being issued for Trenitalia trains when 2nd class were ordered.Do you have any news on this please?I have several reservations this problem applies to. I emailed support for help nearly 2 weeks ago but no reply yet. any help please?thank youRob

Hi! My pass in the name NIKOLAOS RACHIOTIS is not activated and is valid until 30/9/22. There had been another trip that is now named “this one should be deleted “ the pass was NEVER activated but I cannot delete the trip and it has made the pass expiration date earlier and therefore I cannot make reservations for the trip I need to.

Hello everybody,I have a global pass and would like to take the bergensbanen from Bergen to Oslo in Norway. Do I need to make a reservation in advance or can I just hop on the train?

 Should I only be able to view my "ticket" in my pass, one day at a time, as that day arrives?

My friend bought a mobile pass for me as a present, but entered the wrong country of residence by mistake.  I have asked customer service to change but they say it’s not possible.. but everywhere on this forum I see that people did manage to get the country changed.. what can I do? I am planning to travel in August so still some time left. I do not have the funds to by a new card myself.. 

Hi, I just booked seat reservations from Amsterdam to Nice and Nice to Wien, and the total of my cart was at 118 euro. As I was getting to point where I pressed “Agree to terms and conditions” the price recalculated and shot up to 266 euro, more than double. What the fuck? I am already super disappointed in how much the mandatory seat reservations cost to the point where I’m thinking why did I even buy the pass? What’s the point of the pass if the seat reservations end up costing as much as the pass?

Hello, can seat reservations still be made for the Eurostar train on September 20 from London to Paris or Brussels? I haven’t booked the Pass so I cannot look.

Hey Interrail Team,I want to change my country of residence, when  I bought the pass it was put to Germany. But my actual Country of Residence is Austria. I read that it is possible to change before the start of travelling. I havent yet activated my pass, could you change it for me or I should I proceed? It is quite urgent, as I would start travelling very soon. Thanks in Advance!Best, Maret

Hello, I would have liked to make the trip Toulouse>Stuttgart (by train without reservation) I saw yesterday that it was cancelled so I decided to change the trip and leave on Sunday. But I forgot to deactivate my travel day to activate the other one. I only have 4 days on my pass. Is it possible that you cancel the 3rd day of travel so that I can use it tomorrow? I'm saving the 4th for when I get home.

HiWe have bought German Rail Twin Pass 4 Consecutive Days. On the online ticket, there is only one passenger passport number showing, but we put two names in there, it’s showing two names. Two of us will travel together, is it okay to use this ticket as it is?The purchasing process is a bit ambiguous when filling the information.We have already contacted Bahn fahrkartenservice@bahn.de but they replied to let us ask a question on https://www.facebook.com/interrail instead. Rasheed

Hi everyone, I have a two month interrail pass and it is valid for another 1.5 months as of today. I recently used the pass for a journey which was more than an hour late. Should I wait till end of my pass for compensation of the delay (I plan to travel during the coming days), or can I do it already? Note: I know it's technically possible, but I'm looking for suggestions and best practice :)

Hey, I‘m Giovanna :)I’m travelling with an Eurail Pass trough Scandinavia at the moment. Unfortunately I got Corona and was very very I’ll the last days. Because of that, I had to stay longer in Stockholm, but forget because I was so ill, to cancel one of my travel days. Unfortunately it was the one to go back to my home country. Now I‘m in Stockholm and I want to go back, but I can‘t, because I lost my travel day. Is there any chance to get it back? I‘m a bit desperate. Thank you for any help!Greetings,Giovanna
