I booked a 7 day eurail pass and then made train reservations. I realised I don't need a 7 day pass. A 5 day pass is sufficient. Can I cancel the 7 day pass and book a new 5 day pass? Will be reservations still be valid?

It is our first time travelling through Europe (2 adults and an 8 year old) via train and we are going from Paris to St Moritz on Saturday 5th April. Our two options are the 7:22 via Zurich to arrive at 15:07 or the 8:27 via Mulhouse ville and Basel to arrive at 17:07.The second option has 3 changes and is a little longer but also cheaper and a more sociable departure time! The cost is not a huge factor in this but I have read the Paris - Zurich train is a beautiful route.Which route would you recommend and are we asking for more potential issues by having 3 stops rather than 2.Many thanks!

Hello everyone! I’m travelling in Switzerland and Italy in early August this year, and I came across the Treno Gottardo (https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2022/may/04/rail-route-of-the-month-basel-to-locarno-the-slow-swiss-alps-classic) train which I want to take from Lucerne and Locarno. According to the Guardian article linked, it runs on a scenic old route even though its longer and takes more time, and is run by SBB.My question is this: Is travel on this train covered under the Eurail Global Pass? Also, does this have both 1st and 2nd class coaches? Any guidance on this would help me plan better!  Thanks everyone :) 

Buenos días, compré dos pases eurorail, que duran dos meses y tienen 15 días de viaje cada uno.Bajé la aplicación a mi móvil.Mi idea es usar los pases entre el 27 de abril y el 27 de junio de este año. Pero tengo urgencia por hacer una reserva para el 10de junio porque sé que es un viaje que se agota pronto.Entonces, mi pregunta es: CUAL es la  ACCIÓN  que ACTIVA EL DIA 1 DE LOS DOS MESES QUE DURA EL PASE??Si yo ingreso a la aplicación lo primero que me aparece en pantalla es un botón de “EMPEZAR” . Eso implica que activo el primer día de los dos meses de uso de mis pases? Si yo ingreso a la aplicación (supongamos que empezar en la aplicación no tiene nada que ver con la vigencia del pase), y reservo un viaje para el 10 de junio, el queda activado a partir del 10 de junio? No podria ya usarlo en un viaje anterior a esa fecha? Venceria entonces el 10 de agosto? socorro, gracias 

Hello,my Friends and I are planning a trip trough the Balkan states.In the Balkan states, only very few connections are shown on the official railway map, for example in Serbia. Is it possible to take trains that are not registered at the Railwaymap, like regional trains, with the Interrail pass? Thanks for help

My husband and I want to travel to Italy with our baby. We saw the Global Pass for 4 travel days within 6 months. But we actually just need 2 travel days (from Germany to Italy, and a week later from Italy back to Germany). Can we use the remaining 2 days for a second trip to Italy if we stay within the 6 months? Like do the same trip again a few months later? Thank you!

Hi all. I'm worried about sometimes only having 5 minutes between interchange trains. If a bought a ticket from Zermatt to Interlaken but for example the train interchange for Visp to Spiez is only 5 minutes do I ignore that and just get on next train.? How does this work with reserved seats and luggage?. Sue 🤗

I am trying to book two seats on the train from Zürich HB - Milano central on 25 July 2025.I have tried ÖBB, SBB and Trenitalia but with no luck. On the ÖBB ticket site (which is the most used for this as I understand) it says “tickets not available” for all departures on that specific route.Have they completely stopped selling seat reservations for this route? And in that case, do you have any recommendations on how to go about it?best regardsMagnus

Ok so I’m planning on going from Berlin to Gdansk and the PKP app is saying I can do a one stop journey in Poznan but the app is saying I have to change in Frankfurt (Order), Rzepin, and Poznan. This is super confusing as the train from Berlin to Poznan stops at all these stops (Frankfurt (Order), Rzepin, and Poznan) so I don’t understand why it’s listed as a train change? The journey also starts earlier than the PKP intercity says but gets in at the same time? It says 10:59-2:32pm on the rail app but 11:52-2:32pm on the PKP intercity. I have made reservations on the PKP intercity app for the two journeys but I’m a bit worried as the journeys I have selected on my pass don’t align exactly with the ones on the Rail App. 

We are trying to reserve tickets but keep get an error message error one leg is not available or when when we try to check it will not allow us to make a payment when we have entered all our payment details 

We are a family of four from Germany, and this summer we will embark on our first-ever Interrail trip. Together with our seven- and eight-year-old children, we will travel from near Bremen via the usual route through Copenhagen and Malmö to Stockholm, then continue to Östersund, and from there to a small station located along the Inlandsbanan. To all those who have traveled with children: is it better to travel during the day with an overnight stop, or should we dare to take on the adventure of a night train journey? I’m looking forward to your feedback.

Hello,I’m currently planning a trip from Montpellier (France) to Umeå (Sweden).The thing is that the Rail Planner proposes a 24 minutes connection time in Hamburg Hbf, and it seems like a tight one.I’ve heard a lot from other travelers that German trains are often late 😅 So I’m a bit afraid, as this is the connection to take our big Euro Night from Hamburg to Stockholm. Can’t miss this one.So, what do you think? Is it safe?Thanks a lot! 😄

Hi Team,We are a group of 5 people and planning to travel to switzerland from Netherlands on 2 April 2025 Evening.Further, we have to come back to Netherlands on 6 April 2025.Below are the journeys that I found suitable for us: I have the following questions:I have residence card of netherlands (I am not the citizen) so I can purchase Interrail pass of Switzerland instead of Global pass? If I am eligible for purchasing Interrails pass then how much days should I purchase or If global then how many days should I purchase?Furthermore, please tell me how to best plan my journey such:When to purchase ticket via rail planner application When generating tickets, should I break my journey? or book the ticket for ultimate destination?  Considering the fact that I read this on the link:https://www.interrail.eu/en/interrail-passes/what-is-interrail/travel-your-own-country 

I wanted to ask anyone that has booked seats using OEBB. Usually on other timings they provide a seat reservation as I checked but for this one there isn’t an option. Does anyone know if OEBB assign seats together when booking for multiple passengers?

Do my payments for reservations get deducted from my Eurail balance?If this is meant to happen it’s not working.Please help.

I will be travelling from June 8 (arriving in Amsterdam) and then leaving Zurich on July 11. I am thinking of getting a 7 days within a month pass. As a senior the price is $310US (15% discount promotion till April 1).  Given that, I should start to use my pass on June 11. I will train from Amsterdam to Germany. Then to Austria (Vienna, Salzberg, Schladming - all one day),  Zurich, Zermatt and back to Zurich to fly home.In Zermatt, all the funicular, gondolas and railway rides are not covered by the Eurail pass. I will have to get a Peak to Peak Pass ( 2 days for $260CHF)to see the sights. If I have the Swiss half fare card ($137 US), I can get 50% discount on the Peak to Peak Pass. The transportation cost is starting to add up (Eurail, Peak to Peak).  Should I purchase individual train tickets instead? Will it normally be cheaper? For example, Amsterdam to Dusseldorf (Germany) will be $75 US per person with the cancellation option.  Thanks,Joyce

I have paid for the reservations, but I haven't received the reservation email because I don't have space in my email address. Can I change my email address to another address and have the PDF with the reservations sent to me again?

Hello,Five days ago I purchased a 5-day within 1-month 1st class pass for EUR404.  I have not activated the pass, but I did use the pass number to make several seat reservations at RailEurope.Today, Eurail has a 15% off sale, so the same pass is only EUR344 today.  Because it has been less than 7 days since I purchased it, I can request a full refund, and then re-purchase at the sale price.But, the new pass will have  a new pass number.  Can I still use the seat reservations that I made with the current pass, or will I lose those seat reservations and need to re-purchase them?Thanks,Bennett

Hello. I am planning on purchasing the 7 travel day pass within a month. My trip is expected to be from 15th June until 5th July and was wondering if I am able to use some of my travel days during the month of July? 

Hi all,For those that have purchased a paper pass is the pass number the same as the order number on the receipt email ? starts IN followed by 8 digits ?This maybe just wishful thinking as I want to get on and reserve my Eurostarthanks so muchL
