I am thinking of buying a eurail pass. It will certainly be cheaper than paying for the journeys I have planned through normal booking methods. However I will want seat reservations on all my journeys (in France and Italy) and I would not want to proceed with the purchase of a Eurail pass if this was not guaranteed, I am too early to book seats on the actual journeys planned. However I thought I would test out the system by seeing if it is possible to book up seats on certain journeys but just stopping short of the paying up stage. It seems, however, that I cannot test out the reservation system until I have paid for a pass. And I am not prepared to pay for the pass until I have tested the reservation system. Catch 22!! Any suggestions how I might get round this problem? Peter
I am a holder of a 1st class global pass. Unfortunately all 1st class seats are fully booked. NowI would like to book a 2nd class seat.On Eurostar trains, the system shows that reservations are available for a 2n class price. But when I click, it shows no seats available. On dates where 1st class is available, I can chose bothI guess, the system shows only options for 1st class. How can I tune that I also can book 2nd class when 1st class is not available on this train.(Yes, I know that I can sit in 2nd class with a first class ticket). I just can’t figure it out in the online reservation tool
My husband & I are travelling within the UK as well as Italy & Switzerland on a 15 day Flexible Global Pass. Can this Pass be used everywhere in the UK?
Hey there,I am trying to book a train from LISBON - SANTA APOLONIA (Portugal) to PORTO - CAMPANHA (Portugal). When I enter the relevant details on the interrail planner I get the following.There is no relevant information on the more information. So I assume I need to book directly from CP - Comboios de Portugal. But when I try and book there, it is full price. I couldn’t see anything that said I just need to reserve a seat. If that is the case, then why do I need a Eurorail pass? I have Eurorail global passMaybe I missed a step, can someone help please?Thanks in advance
Hoping to reserve a return trip from Munich-Fussen-Munich with a Eurail Global Pass.Is it possible to do this via DB (as I cannot do it on Eurail). I can find the journey on DB but am unable to add my pass?
Hi , Myself and family are trying to book seat reservations from Basel to Zurich early April.Our train is midweek at lunchtime, an IC service. The SBB website states that reservations are not possible.Given the journey is just under 1 hour, I presume given this is such a frequent service that reservations are not required.Thx in advance.
Hello!My husband and I have a month in France beginning mid April. We have an 8 day Eurail pass and have plotted our trip. Today I began to make the reservations where needed. But….I can’t figure out one segment, so I am looking for advice. We want to travel Caens to Paris early May. The schedule shows trains and requires reservations but I can’t figure out how to do this. Can someone explain?Much appreciated,Leanne & JohnVancouver BC Canada
I am planning on travelling first class round Europe on a first class Eurail pass. In the first class area on most European rail service, can you see out the window on both sides of the train, or do I sit in a compartment where I can only see out one window on one side of the train?
How many trains can I take per travel day? I was thinking about going form Paris to Bruges and in the night to Brussels. Is that possible with only one travel day? Should I reserve with anticipation if I am traveling in May?
We can purchase 3-month Global Passes, but I cannot find any detail on how many days we can travel on those passes, or any other restrictions. Nor am I able to find a link for the terms of the passes. Most places we visit we will stay more than one or two days (possibly a couple of weeks in some instances).Can anyone help with detail on these passes?
Hello everybody,I want to book the ferry from Travemünde (Germany) to Malmö (Sweden) for my Interrail trip.I red on this link (https://www.interrail.eu/de/plan-your-trip/tips-and-tricks/trains-europe/ferries/finnlines) that I can book the ferry from Travemünde to Malmö, and using the “RAIL” code, I will receive a 50% discount on the booking of the ferry, but on the finnlines website the code isn’t valid.Does anybody know why and if there is another valid Interrail Code to receive a discount? Thank you for your responses :)
Hi all, so I've just bought our global Eurail pass and then booked our seats on the Eurostar for early September, London to Amsterdam via b-europe site, but can't work out how to get the booking details on my rail planner, as it doesn't automatically link up, so won't use a travel day. Does this matter? Thanks for any help understanding this 🙏
It is too early for me to book a seat as they are not available for July yet, but I have been looking to get an indication of price for budgeting.I am using 2x Adult and 1xChild (9) 1st Class Passes. If I try to book a seat reservation it only offers me 2nd class, if I remove the child then 1st is offered. Should I make 3 adult seat reservations as my passes are all 1st Class?
My husband and I need to book seats ASAP for March 31, a popular day. We want to travel from Victoria Station in London to Shoreham by Sea. When I begin to book this it says, second traveller. Then it asks for my Europass number. It tells me it is above the QR code on our paper pass. That is an 8 digit number. When I try to type it in, it is too long!!!! So how in the world am I to find my pass number. It also says it is in our ‘confirmation email.’ We neve got a ‘confirmation email.’ Feeling desperate here. Many thanks!!!Leslie
I’m new to Eurail. I’m looking at the pass that allows 7 days travel in a month. As I understand it, you create a journey (which may be a number of train connections and train changes) save it to your trip and then create a ticket for the day. What happens if you miss a train during the day - say for example, you are not familiar with the station and fail to get to the next train in time? What do you do? Is your ticket for the day valid for another train? Do you need to create a new journey for the day? Assuming no reservations are needed.
Hi there, Could anyone answer 2 questions for me, please? I'm a Hungarian with 2 British children and we live in the UK. Can I buy interrail passes for us?Also can we use the first day on the pass to travel from North West to London and the same day from London to Paris or Amsterdam? Thanks Krisztian
I have a trip from Newcastle to London King Cross tomorrow, because of the ongoing engineering work, it includes the bus replacement, I wanna ask if the bus has a storage place specifically for big luggage?
Hi, I’m trying to get seat reservations from Lille Europe direct to Avignon on TGV #9830 for 17 May (bypassing Paris) but whichever site (Rail Europe/SNCF/SNCB) I try to book on, it shows the full price tickets without the Eurail Pass discount. Eurail Planner does not have this direct option and only offers routes with a change at Paris (Nord-Gare Lyon) which I’m trying to avoid as I’m travelling with children.Have all the Pass Holder seats been filled up? I’ve been checking this route regularly since Dec 2023 but of course tickets are not open for sale yet, and now they are available but without the pass dicount 🤔Hoping to hear some expert advice from the pros 💪🏻Thanks in advance!
Ik ga vanuit london naar harwich ,boot vertrekt om 23 uur om 8 uur in hoek van holland naar Rotterdam centraal en dan naar huis .Wordt aangegeven dat zijn 2 in reis dagen,dat klopt toch niet.Wie weet een oplossing.

Hi, I just bought my eurail global pass and and I’m trying to figure out how to make a reservation. I’m using my first travel day to go from Barcelona to Marseille on late march, I’m aware it is required to book a seat reservation for an extra fee but here it says “Not available from Eurail.com This seat reservation can’t be booked on our website.” so I need help, does anyone what can I do to book my seat? How can I know which rail company this train belong to so I can access their website?
Hi - another timetable query from me. I’ve been looking at the trains from Salzburg to Vienna on 29th April 2024 on the OBB websute and this message has come up.Construction work - Train cannot runLinz/Donau Hbf <=> Wels HbfDue to construction work some local-trains cannot operate between Linz/Donau Hbf and Wels Hbf/Attnang-Puchheim Bahnhof from 29/04/2024 through 29/06/2024.We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.There seem to be a mix of trains in the search results - Railjets (marked in red) and some marked WB (in blue). The WB trains stop at Westbahnhof - are these the local trains referred to in the warning message? If so, does this mean the Railjets will run according to the timetable? Many thanks
Hello! We have purchased 1st Class Eurail Passes for Spain. My understanding is that this allows you to sit in the first class car of the train. I’m not sure if there is any other benefit??? I have purchased first class seat reservations, when required, for each train that we’ll be taking. The seat reservation ticket says Elige Confort. So, a couple of questions… 1) How will I know what cars of the train are First Class? 2) Are there seat assignments in the First Class car or are we able to sit in any seat of that car?Thank you for any info you can provide.
Purchased Eurail Spain Flexi Pass for 6 days within 1 month beginning April 5. Passes are in RailPlanner and shows “Ready for Travel”. I chose the trains we will use for our days of travel and they show up in My Trip. They all require seat reservations but I don’t know how to actually reserve them. When I click on the details of the trip, it shows the train number and states Seat Reservations Required but how do I actually reserve and purchase them? If I go to My Pass, it states Add a Journey at the bottom of the page. When I click on that, it shows the same train info that’s in My Trip so how do I actually put that info into My Pass? Also, none of my information is on the Eurail website. How do I connect the two? I thought I could add the information manually, but the train times are different.Thank you for any help you can provide!
It looks like we will be taking an NS train from Amsterdam to Brussels in April due to Eurostar not being available. If I book my tickets for the specific train we want via NS International, even though there is not assigned seating, does this still at least guarantee my place on the train? I am worried about trains being full and us not being able to get on one despite booking tickets in advance. It is the tulip festival weekend, and I am guessing trains will be a bit more crowded during this time so I just want to make sure I am planning accordingly.
Don't be shy and let us know about your challenge.
