Hi everybody, me and my friend booked a seat reservation for the train Bergen-Oslo. It was supposed to arrive at our hostel (Hostel Montana, paper ticket..) but it never arrived. And the fact is that we didn’t get any email/receipt but we payed. now we have two options: to explain our situation on the train (but I don’t know if it’s a good idea) or buy another seat reservation (but as I said we’ve already paid and It’s unfair..)Can someone help us? Thanks in advance :))

HI guys, just read lots of posts about not being able to book in advance seats on trains going from France to Spain and back!We’re travelling this weekend but haven’t really planned out our journey yet. I thought that was the whole idea of the ticket. Does anyone have any up to date advice…..?

Traveling from Barcelona to Lyon, Oct 17,2022,    when I try to make the reservation in the page that is shipping details, when I select Spain as the country, I get this MSG “you order contains one or more paper tickets , based on our calculations, your order will not arrive on time. Please send your reservations to another address, such as Your hotel in Europe, or try booking at a European Train station”I’m arriving to Barcelona From Qatar Oct 15, the shipping address that I’m trying to Use is the hotel In Barcelona,Please advice 

Hi,I ordered paper reservation tickets for Oslo to Bergen to travel on 2 September and Bergen to Oslo on 4th September. The only option I had on the eurail website was to order paper tickets and wait for them to be delivered. The tickets never arrived and I think they were returned to their office, despite my address being correct on the order. In order to travel I had to book and pay again directly with the train company over the phone. I’ve tried contacting eurail for a refund on the original paper tickets but I have not been able to get a response. Any advice?

Is it mandatory to spend two of the six days in Italy (Venice/Ancona/Bari) or Greece (Patras/Igoumenitsa) on the 6-day Greek Islands pass? Or can the 6 days be used to stay only in the Greek Islands? 

Hallo zusammen!Ich möchte am 25.10. mit dem Nachtzug von Paris nach Narbonne reisen. Kann mir jemand sagen, über welche Seite ich den französischen Nachtzug (Schlafwagen) reservieren kann? Auf der Seite travel.b-europe.com finde ich den Zug nicht, da scheint es nur TGVs zu geben.Vielen Dank für eure Hilfe!Alena

My understanding is that the global pass is good for Turkey. However, I don’t see man cities in Turkey appear in the real planner app at all. For example,  Cappadocia (Turkey) in the planner at all, nor Kayseri which seems to be relatively close. Similarly, Izmir does not appear nor the rail station at Turan. When I put Istanbul in the station section, it does not show any destinations at all.  Can someone please explain how to do this or how this works? Thanks in advance.  

Travelling in Romania with a mobile pass seems extemely challenging. Is this known by Interrail? Did I miss any warnings by Interrail?Is it even possible?We are travelling with 3 kids, and tomorrow we want to use a day. 3 trains that do not need reservation according to interrail. Fingers crossed...

I’m new to interrailing. I am travelling with 2 young girls and we have booked tickets on the night train from Nice to Paris. I have just checked the tickets and it appears we are not sleeping together, the tickets are VOITURE 18 - PLACE 086, 81 and 92.  I booked them all together and the small print says if you book together you will seat together. This can’t be right. I can’t not sleep with my children. Any advice? 

Hello!A group of 6 of us have a week long trip going from London to Switzerland to Venice to Croatia. I am concerned with my booking. We have first class passes and a few instances along the trip it says “You're ready to boardYou can buy a seat reservation if you like but it's not required.”I am just looking to make sure that if I do not buy the seat reservation that I will be guaranteed a spot on the train. Or is it a better idea to just buy the seat reservations for all 6 of us. We just don’t want to be stuck somewhere and have that screw up our whole trip. Thank you!

Hello! I’ve booked 3 tickets in the sleeper train from Nice to Paris with my children but we are not all sleeping together (despite booking at the same time) has anyone else had any experience of this?

Can we travel from Cannes to st tropez by train and ferry? On the pass?   

I have filled in everything nicely via the following link . Does anyone know if you will automatically receive an email from interrail to confirm that your application has arrived?Because I have not yet received a confirmation email, and we are already 2 hours further.I'm a little worried that my application hasn't arrived after all. So it would be nice if someone from Interrail itself could help me with this.

HI friends! I am brand new to the Eurail community and trying to book my first leg of my journey from Titisee > Freiburg > Hamburg > Copenhagen on 9/30 and arriving 10/1  I just called OBB directly to make a seat reservation from  as all the research I’ve done says that making a seat reservation through the app is not guaranteed and is more expensive (can someone clarify that as a side note?) I am buying a first class Eurail pass as this specific trip was required to reserve first class due to availability.  My problem is that the Eurail planner is now only showing a Nightjet Freiburg > Hamburg leg … this is exactly the same time as the Intercity train that I’m supposed to be on. I’d really like to avoid any fines and the OBB service agent told me that the Nightjet is COMPLETELY sold out so I’d have to take the intercity but the timetable is exactly the same… i’ll just have to be in a seat. She confirmed there were still seats in first class for Intercity 60400 at 21:58… I

Hello!! My fiancé and I purchased a eurail but were under the impression that you had to “add” a journey in order to book seat reservations. We are going to be traveling for 4 weeks and are still unsure of just how many places we would like to see. We just want to kind of wing it and make the most of where we end up. (We bought the 10 days over 2 month pass). HOWEVER, we went to add our train to Paris for tomorrow and it shows that no seat reservations are available. It does show that you can book seats at the train station. Are we just out of luck at this point?? We bought this pass because of the freedom to just choose random days to travel and not have to set an itinerary but I’m starting to think if we don’t have everything planned out right now that we won’t be going much of any where.  Any advice and help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance!  

I arrive in Europe on my 28th birthday. If I buy the youth eurail (mobile pass) can I simply activate it the day before when I'm 27 even though I won't be able to travel on that particular day? I know that it's valid for whatever age you are on the first day of activation so is there anything stopping me from activating it before I get to Europe other than losing a day without using the pass?

I’m traveling to Italy on December, and had brought the train pass and downloaded the planning app.But still waiting for Eurail to release the timetable for my planning.Is there any one know when will the timetable be released on Eurail planner app?

I am dumb...first time using a mobile passI need to book 2 seats using my GLOBAL FLEX pass from LONDON to AMSTERDAM on Oct 16Is it possible there are no seats to prebook using a pass?Carol HELP 

Hiya, I’m currently on a gap year and looking to do an inter railing trip from London, through france, Croatia, Italy and others :) but I currently have no travel buddies, so can this site be used to find similar people to travel with?

The guide book says there is a Hallstat train station across the lake from Hallstat. Rome2Rio says there is a train to Hallstat. But the Eurail planning app says there is no such trip. Can someone reveal the secret of how to get this into the app? Thanks

I am trying to buy reservation for the InterCityNotte 1954 Palermo-Rome.I know that the 1954 is is connected to the 1956 from Siracusa in Messina.The train can’t be found in the RailPlanner-app (only as a train Palermo-Messina) and when I try to book it on ItaliaRail it suggest me to buy 2 beds, one Palermo-Messina and one Messina-Rome. is there any way to use InterRail on this connection?I am unfortunately no where near Italy, so I won’t be able to buy at a station before the beds are sold out.

Hi community!We have a interrail pass for Italy and we’re entering the country from Switzerland with a direct train Zurich - Milano. When adding this as a ride in my trip I can’t add it to the pass (to activate day one) because it says “Your pass is not valid in some of these countries”.This is obviously true, but how should I add a direct train between two countries? I have a valid ticket to the border, but from the border to Milano I would like to use an interrail day…Any advice is most welcome!Peter

Hello, I want to make a night-train reservation departing from Frankfurt (Sued)  to Wien at 01:17, NJ 40421. The train schedule is updated on the OBB website, but it’s not on the Rail Planner application or website. I feel quite nervous in that I know the reservation for the night train is quite difficult. When will it be reflected on the Eurail Pass? 

Hi!I am looking to travel to Bar in Montenegro in May from the UK. We then plan to travel back via train too. My husband has a fear of flying so thought this would be a great way to get to Europe with him having a meltdown!On the way there we need to travel as quickly as possible as we are going to a yoga retreat that starts on 18th May.  However, on the return journey (25th) we have a bit more time. Is it possible to get some help and advice on planning this journey. I’ve never done anything like this before as I normally fly so I would really appreciate a bit of help! Thanks in advance 🙏🏼Corfe

Hello! My husband and I are travelling from Stockholm to Narvik on December 11 and would like to take the night train. I understand that tickets are generally released 90-120 days in advance (is this correct?). We are currently 75 days out and no tickets are available. We’ve checked daily for…. embarrassingly… months. A few weeks back the messaging changed from “not available yet” to “sold out.”  Can anyone proved any insight into what is happening and when/if we might be able to book tickets?  A little background, we are both first time travelers in Norway & Sweden and are extremely excited to see all that we can on our holiday. We have utilized the rail systems in France, Germany, Switzerland without any issues, so we’re novices, but not total newbies 😁
