HiFirst Lesson learntInterrail planner says “Reservation Optional” PLS IGNORE THIS.  I have been planning my journey for past 2/3 months - It was just by chance I looked at the country own web site. It was then I found out NO SEATS Available on a train I planned to take, just as well I checked, yet inter rail planner says I am all good to go , and I dont need to make any seat reservation. HELP FROM THE COMMUNITYWith above issues in mind, I re visited all  my plans and rather then believing what the app is telling me , I went onto the country web site.This is where my disbelief just stated.Trying to reserve 2 seats from Basel to Lille The swiss train web site will not give me the options for inter rail pass.The inter rail planner - if I go via them , then it is saying in order to reserve seats - It will cost me sub 100 Euros Surely this cant be correct ?Especially I have purchased 1st Class interrail pass - Surely I cant then be expected to pay additional 100 Euros - Am i being naive  o

Where on the website can I find the My Trip sheets - use to be easy to find

Hi ,We are travelling to Endinburgh from London on the London North Eastern Railway . I have booked seat resevations. Do I just show them our eurail pass when we get on the train? Or how does it work? We havent used Eurail pass before. It is also the first time Ive made seat reservations  externally. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was hoping to travel from Salzburg to Venice on 18th August this year via the Brenner pass. This involves taking the RKX662 and RJ85, changing in Innsbruck. Thing is, this train isn’t appearing on the timetable (via DB trains or OSS) but it’s there on the 19th August. How can I confirm that it’s just not a daily service and I’m unlucky or if it will become available later? I don’t see how it will become available later if it’s displaying for the day afterwards…

Hi,I will be traveling with my girlfriend, and we both have Eurail Global passes. I purchased our tickets for each destination using my Eurail account, and the tickets are currently under my Booking section in the Eurail app.  If we look in her Eurail app under the Booking section, we do not see the same tickets. If I lose my phone on the trip, how can we pull up the tickets in her Eurail app?  I am assuming that when boarding a train, I will show our tickets and my Eurail pass, and my girlfriend will need to show only her Eurail pass? Best regards,Michael Bechtold  

Hello! I have a couple of  questions about how the Pass works. First I wanted to know if the trip has to start and end in the same train station or at least the same country. Related to that I was wondering, if I’m planning on visiting 5 cities (Vienna, Prague, Berlin, Amsterdam and Paris) can Paris be the last “destination”? (I would start my trip from Milan). I hope I made myself clear.Please help me if you can because I'm going crazy planning this trip ahah. Thanks!

Hi friends! I’m taking the 12:22 pm train from Ax-Les-thermes to Narbonne today and noticed when I checked train line and SNCF app that the stop for Narbonne is terminated.  When this happens, is my only other alternative to take the next connection and hang around Toulouse longer (or leave ax on the second train out?) I’ve got large suitcases and prefer not to arrive too late.  What app do you recommend for checking live train times since the eurail planner isn’t up to date ? thanks friends! It’s been three years since I used eurail again and I’m trying to remember how to navigate!  I bought the first class eurail pass for France only if that’s important. 

Hi everyone! 👋 My partner and I are planning our very first Interrail trip this summer (from late July to mid-August), and we’d love to get some advice from the community. Here’s our itinerary:Munich → Vienna → Hallstatt → Ljubljana → Venice → Lake Como → Milan We’ve already booked all our accommodations, but we’re still unsure about seat reservations.Would you recommend booking them in advance for any of these routes? Are there any journeys where reservations are strongly advised or even mandatory? We’re aware that some come with an additional fee.Also, if we travel without a reservation, is it possible we could be denied boarding? And finally, if you have any tips for first-time Interrailers, we’d love to hear them!Packing hacks, train tricks, scenic routes, or just things you wish you’d known before your first trip. Thanks so much in advance 🙏 and happy travels to all of you!

Hi all,I’m new to interrailing and trying to learn as much as I can quickly. I am worried about booking tickets for this summer and missing the tickets for Eurostar and night trains.I have purchased a 10 day pass with the aim of going on two trips this summer with my partner and two sons. First trip is from London to Amsterdam, then to Germany, and back to London. The second trip is then to Croatia - I’m still trying to work out a route for this. Today, I noted that I cannot use the pass for my second trip in and out of the UK. So I guess I need to purchase Eurostar separately for this return trip. My concern is that if I do the first trip and return back to London my pass will no longer be valid. Is it ok to do this?Also I am looking at booking the night train from Zagreb to Stuttgart and the website says the train might be subject to change. Is this a concern? I am not sure if this just means a timetable change or a cancellation. We do need to return from Croatia as quickly as possib

I made a mistake by booking my seat alone because I didn't knew we could reserve it together(with your group). So, I wanted to know if we could take it back or change seats because they're saying we can't.Hope you can help me and have a nice Day.

Hello guys  I am going interrailing this summer with two of my freinds, and we have some questionsCan we get a guide to how to book a ferry from Greece to Italy? Also if you plan your trip on Eurail Interrail, why cant we see the ferry routs, specifically from Italy (ancona) to croatia (spilt)? Do i buy a ferry ticket on  Eurail app, or do i use another app or website?Thanks!

I allready bought a pass on the interrail website.euI have a iPhone and a laptop with windows 11, I used the browser Firefox.I activated my pass at the mobile Rail Planer App and conect it with a spesific trip. The same pass is connected to another trip on the interrail website in my account. The Trip from the App isn’t shown on the interrail website and the Trip on the website isn’t shown in the App. I can change the trips in the app as I want but in my accout there changes nothing. So the sincronization between the online website and the app obviosly doesn´t work, even it´s the same pass and the same account. How can I fix this?

Hi - any advice please on how to approach reservations for July for journey 3 passholders and 1 non passholder Lake Bled to Budapest.  And then Budapest to Prague a few days later.  We would all like to sit/travel together.  First time interrailing - I think I can deal with the 3 passholder bookings but not sure how to navigate with this additional non pass.  Any steer/advice much appreciated.

Hi Thanks to this community wife/I have now managed to put our plan together.

I have a Eurail pass  Nothing booked  I’d like to  book from Glasgow to Frankfurt airport   Hopefully do it in one day  Eurail website sent me to another website  Says “cannot book from your address”  I am in the US   Help? 

I have an Interrail Pass that is valid for one month and is set to expire on August 11th. I would like to start my trip on August 1st. If I activate the pass on that date, will I be able to use it for the full month, or will it stop working after August 11th? In other words, is the one-month validity counted from the activation date, or is August 11th the absolute latest date I can use the pass, regardless of when I activate it?

Hola, tengo dos pases globales de 7 días en un mes para empezar a usar en septiembre, el día 1 ya tengo los billetes, y cuando quiero agregar viajes para el dia 2, guardo viaje en la carpeta creada y me pone que no está asociado a ningún viaje, claro me deja hacerlo pero desvinculando el viaje del día 1, y no entiendo como puedo "comprar" todos los viajes de los 7 días para que queden vinculados cada uno en el pase de las dos personas que somos.Tengo que vincular cada viaje después de haber terminado cada trayecto? 

Q: Can I use my Interrail 2nd class Global Pass to book a deluxe single sleeper cabin on CD? I’d like to use my 2nd class pass to reserve a single deluxe cabin on two routes (Budapest-Krakow & Warsaw-Prague). CD has an easy process, and for both it does assign a single deluxe, *but* going through the ‘Document terms and conditions’, it says:“Compartments in sleeper carriages are divided into so-called “Economy”, where a 2nd class ticket is required for all types of compartments (Triple, Double, Single and possibly connected Family compartments), and so-called “Deluxe”, where a 1st class ticket is required for all types of compartments. For use of a berth of the category Single (a compartment with one bed), it is necessary to present a travel document issued for 1st class travel.”CD giving me the option to book a deluxe single with specified 2nd class IR seems to contradict the Ts&Cs. Man in Seat 61 does not specify (as he does for all other night train options) for the Czech si

Is it possible / common to be able to get a standby ticket on Eurostar train (Brussels to London) the night before my current train ticket? 

hi, i’m travelling from the UK to Europe using a global pass. can i make multiple journeys in my home country using the pass? the website is ambiguous - it says i can only make two journeys - one in, one out - but i can have ‘multiple train transfers’. Does this mean i can travel from any location to London then get the eurostar as long as it is on the same travel day?And the same on return i assume?

Hey everyone!I'm planning to travel with The Bergen Line from Bergen to Oslo soon.Which seats would you recommend, based on the side?Are there any advantages in certain carriages (cars 4, 7, and 8 are still available).Thank you for your help! :)✌

Hello I have planned to visit europe from 25th April to 30th May 2025. I purchase 10 days flexible global pass ticket.First 10 days I will roam around the italy then Switzerland next 7 days and subsequently France, Belgium, Netherlands.When I search a trip in the eurail rail planner app I didn't find the stations name though if I zoom the maps I can see the stations. But It is bit difficult to find my exact train station name near to my accomodation. Rail planner map does not switch to satellites mode also.My concern, is there any way to see all the station  name of a country or city near to my accomodation. Is there any option to switch rail planner map default mode to satellite mode?Thanks in advance. Profound regards

I’m forever grateful for all the help I’ve gotten from you users today, and since you know so much, I wanted to ask you a few more questions. These are regarding the seat reservations as well. You told me that it is not possible to buy seat reservations fore some regional trains, are these included?: Chur - zeurich Hb (19.11-20.48 11 July 2025), berlin Hbf - Magdeburg Hbg (0.44-02.37 13 July 2025) (I have been told that this is a regional train), Magdeburg Hbf - Uelzen (04.47-06.41 13 July 2025), Uelzen - Hamburg Hbf (07.04 - 08.03 13 July 2025), Fredericia - Slagelse (12.15 - 14.10 13 July 2025) Also please tell me if you think it’s stupid that we sometimes only have 20 minutes in between arrival and departure. We struggled to find other alternatives that would cost us many more hours.

Thanks to this community for your advice and help. I need to buy two adult one-way train tickets from London (any station) to Edinburgh for the morning of July 7, 2025. I already bought two Interrail Global Passes, good for any 4 days within a month. I would like to use those passes for this train ticket, but so far I cannot see how to do that. I live in Switzerland and have residency there but hold a US passport. I’ve tried doing this with VPN set to Great Britain and and also without, neither seems to make a difference. Here’s also what I’ve tried:Interrail.eu : when I try to book on this site, while logged into my account, and I’ve added my passes to my account, I can see many trains throughout the day, but I get a red popup that says seat reservations are required for this train travel, but that I can’t make seat reservations from this site. The “more information” button says to try buying tickets on acprail.comAcprail.com : I created an account on this site and tried to load my pa

Hello! I am planning a trip for this summer. I already bought the pass from eurail but now i want to add journeys and make the seat reservations for one of them, but i am so confused. I’m scared to activate my pass before I’m supposed to and don’t really know how I can reserve seats without having my pass activated. Plus, if I want to start traveling in august am I supposed to activate my pass now?
