Hello community,what are your experiences with Interrail in 1st class? What are the pros and cons of 1st class versus 2nd class? We're traveling to Denmark. Maybe on to Norway. Is it true that seat reservations are included with a 1st class Interrail Global Pass in Denmark? We're traveling as a family with three teenagers. This will be our first train journey.thanks for sharing your experiences

I’m trying to book the Eurocity 44 train in 25/april/2025, but the train does not show up on that schedule day. Is there any reason for this?

I would like to take the ICE from Copenhagen to Hamburg. However, the connection isn't shown on the Rail Planner app, only in the DB app. So I'm not sure if I can use it with my Global Pass. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Hi, I’m getting conflicting information from OBB so would really appreciate some advice.We are a family of 4 (mother, father + 2 boys (12, 8)) and would like to travel on the nightjet from Brussels to Salzburg.  It’s a popular route and it appears there is only a 4 person ‘Ladies only” couchette available. I’ve spoken to OBB twice; one adviser said we would have to be split up (at great expense) but another said as we were occupying the whole couchette it wouldn’t be a problem.Can anyone advise if the whole carriage is “Ladies only”?  If not, it seems strange that this would be a problem given we would be the only occupants of the 4 person couchette? ThanksDamian

I can easily find trains on Eurail website to give me trains to get me from A to B.  But that train, if not direct, will make stops.  How can I find out what those stops are and at what times?  I can’t see to do that on the Eurail site.   Thanks.

Sorry for asking again.I want to book an overnight train, in this case a bunk bed, for two adults, one child who has a pass, but another who doesn't because he's 3 years old. How do I reserve a bunk bed for the 3-year-old? Or is he supposed to sleep in an adult's bunk and not have to reserve anything?I can't find a customer service contact, and the automated chat doesn't resolve this. Thanks!

Hello, I’m planning on going interrailing this summer, and I purchased all seat reservations via OBB. However, I did not realize I could add the interrail discount, so I booked all seat reservations via seat reservations only. I read that adding the discount would ensure that possible supplements are purchased as well, but I don’t think any of the trains I am planning on taking require a supplement. Some trains (Deventer-Hannover, Ljubljana-Budapest, and Vienna-Arnhem) do indicate that seat reservations are required. Does it matter that I purchased the seat reservations this way? Would I be fined if I did not indicate that I have an interrail pass? Thanks in advance!!

Hi, we're trying to book reservations from London to Rome in August. It doesn't seem possible yet to book Paris-Milan or Paris-Turin, so what will we do if we book Eurostar but then can't travel on without having to visit every town in Switzerland? Also, how do we make reservations for different days, eg travel to Turin on the 2nd then to Rome on the 3rd? Finally, what does activating the pass mean, do we only do that just before we travel? We have tried hard to work out these things on the app and website, but just can't find the answers. Thanks!

With a global pass, when taking an inbound/outbound trip can I take more than one train? Meaning, do they count as travel DAYS where you can travel within your country of residence ilimitadly or rather a single trip where you HAVE to get out of your country? 

My app says my validity period is "15 Dec 2022 - 14 Jan 2023" Does that that mean I have until the midnight of the 15th of Jan to use my pass? I just want to make sure because I plan on taking a train the day of the 14th and don't want to have pay for the train when I can plan around it.

Hello,I plan from Tirano to Moritz St. on  May 12 this year.Train schedule is LIMITED.H’ever,I find many bus replacement on SBB timetable.May I use this bus service with Global Pass holder ?

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
