Using 2 Eurail Global Passes

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

Ferries

Hello guys I am going interrailing this summer with two of my freinds, and we have some questions Can 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!

expire date

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?

Can't see some direct trains on EURAIL website

I’m trying to book Munich to Verona on August 16, 2025. I would prefer a direct train, but there are none available on the EURAIL website for that date. When I look at August 9, exactly one week earlier, there are several direct trains for this route. I have the same issue with other segments of my trip, Munich-Verona-Florence-Rome; no high speed or direct trains available to book on the dates I want.. Yet if I look at other websites such as Trenitalia or Italo, I can see that those direct trains are supposed to be running. I keep coming back to check every few days in case the direct trains on the 16th and later suddenly become available to book with my Pass, but no luck yet. Is it a question of waiting for a certain date to see the direct routes become available to EURAIL Pass holders, or should I assume it wont happen and make other arrangements?

seat reservations

On some of our planned shorter trips the interrail app neither says “seat reservations optional” nor “seat reservations required”. Does that mean that it is not possible to make seat reservations for these trips?

Reservation issues Brussels - Paris

We've booked all the trains on our itinerary, except for one that's causing us problems: a train from Brussels to Paris that will leave around 16:00 on July 14. We've booked in advance, but we can't seem to make a reservation, even though the train does exist... yet it's as if it doesn't exist on b-europe.com. Do you have any advice?

Six character pass number

I'm in Sweden and the conductor just informed me that I need to sign in to the Eurail app to make a reservation for this train. However, the app is asking for a six character pass code. It says it is in my confirmation email, but the only pass number there is nine characters -- an E followed by eight digits. I have a paper Eurail pass, because I am a neanderthal and technology frightens me. How do I find the six character pass number? Or, how can I make reservations without the app? I've already made about a dozen trips on my pass, but this Swedish conductor is the first that insisted I need a reservation.

Trying to manually add a ThamesLink journey...

I am trying to manually add ThamesLink journey from St Pancras to London Bridge because the Eurail app does not show trains. I have done this previously about 2 years ago but don't remember exactly how it's done. The Eurail app gives the following screen on starting manual addition: I entered the times approximately and train number is optional. Is this enough to generate a valid ticket or should I get exact train times from the ThamesLink app as below and put in exact departure and arrival times? Thanks in advance for your time!

Eurail pass on mobile

Hi there, My partner and I have finally purchased two eurail passes as we are travelling from Australia. We have not activated them as yet as we dont travel until june 16th this year. We both have the app on mobiles but are wondering how does this get validated by the train conductors ? Do they just check your phone for the pass or do they scan your phone ? Or do you have to print off a ticket every time from your phone to make a train trip ? I have always used and paid for paper tickets so this is very new for us, especially cause we plan to make 10 train trips so hoping for this to be simple. We may also need to get phone plans overseas as not sure if there is always working wifi. Thanks again..

inbound/outbound query

I am planning a trip in September/October starting from southern England and at the moment finishing in Vienna. If I flew to Scotland at the end of this trip could I use my inbound day of travel for a train from Scotland back to southern England? If that’s acceptable does the inbound travel day start as soon as I step off the flight or can it be started within the validity period for the global pass? Thanks in advance

Confused about printed reservations for online pass

I purchased my electronic passes (for two senior travelers) and put them into the Rail Planner app. Then I went to the website and purchased my reservations for three different days. I was able to print those reservations. When I go to board the train, do I just show the reservations? Or do I somehow need to show the pass on my phone? I don’t understand how to bring up the pass. It wants me to add Trips and Journeys, and I don’t really understand that since I have my reservations already - which are already in the app but not part of a “Journey.” Oh, help! I’m so confused and worried that the pass won’t work when we are there. One more question. If I’m traveling to and from a destination on the same day, both trips only count as one day, right?

Having Trouble Getting My Booking onto the App

Hi there! I’m travelling from UK > France > Spain in late May/June, and a family member purchased a Eurail pass for me which I’ve now loaded onto my phone but for some reason I cannot get my booking for the first leg of the journey onto the app? The family member already purchased seat reservations for us and I have the confirmation emails but that particular leg of the journey and times do not show up and there does not seem to be an easy way to add it. Any assistance would be much appreciated!

Activation Interrail Global pass bought during sale last July

Hi, I bought last year the Interrail Global pass during the sale in July. It says I need to activate it before 18 June 2025. Just to be sure: if I activate it for example on 17 June, than I will be able to use it after 18 June? Or should I use all the travel days before 18 June? Thanks! Greetings Bart

Does Eurail Global pass really include the Heathrow Express?

My answer to this is no, despite it being advertised in the Eurail planner. After a long flight from Australia, trying to activate our mobile pass for the first time, the train attendant tells us it isnt valid...because Heathrow Express isnt part of Network Rail (the UK rail consortium that combines all the tracks). Im aware of this, and I was happy that the Heathrow Express was listed as being part of the Eurail pass. But no, the ticket lady said it wasnt part of the pass and that they had tried to explain to Eurail many times that they werent involved in the scheme but they kept having travellers come up to them (like I did) showing them the Eurail Planner rules/inclusions and expecting to be able to use it. Can anyone else confirm if it really is part of the pass or if it isnt and Eurail are just false advertising?

interail outbound/inbound Rules?

I wanted to regarding the interail outbound and inbound rules, I have a friend who lives in sweden (GOT) and is planning to meet us in copenhagen. He plans to use the outbound journey to CPH and then headback to gothenburg without using inbound journey and then continuing the travel days within sweden from gothenburg to sweden. Will there be a problem using a travel day within sweden if he used an outbound journey? (Like does the app consider him being out an issue)

Help decide between rail pass or individual DB tickets

Hi - I’m looking for some advice on an upcoming trip to Germany (Sept/Oct) and while we’ve train traveled before, we’ve never done multiple trips like this and had reason to consider the value or ease of a pass vs. individual journey tickets. We’re 63 and 66 so one of us can always be a senior fare, sometimes both! We may upgrade to 1st class on some of these longer journeys, not sure yet. I’ve looked at the DB website for these prices and this is what I found without including seat reservation costs - all prices are tickets for two total and all are 2nd class: Frankfurt Airport->Munich Sparpreis 108€ Munich->Mengen Super Sparpreis 68€ Mengen->Boblingen Super Sparpreis 54€ Boblingen->Heidelberg Super Sparpreis 49€ Heidelberg->Darmstadt Super Sparpreis 35€ Frankfurt->Cologne Super Sparpreis 40€ Cologne->FRA airport 40€ (lowest fare, may change time of travel) I feel confident that once we choose the departure time, we can always commit so the Super Sparpreis is ok for us. These are 7 tr

Germany Bicycle Reservation

I know how to find what trains I *can* take a bicycle on, but the ICE trains in particular require a bicycle reservation. How do I book that? The bahn.de site says you can only book a bicycle reservation with a meatbody ticket, but my meatbody is getting on with the EURail pass. I can buy a seat reservation on its own, but that isn’t helping me with a bike reservation. Where do I go from here? Bike reservations are notoriously difficult on ICE trains, so this is a non-starter for me to “wing it”.

Adding two different passes on one phone

Hi, my phone recently broke while traveling. This means that my interrail pass cant be used on that device anymore. I already had contact with interrail and they unregistered my pass from my phone so i can add my pass on another device. My question is: is it possible to add my pass on my friends device so we have two passes on the same device? If this is not an option, does anyone have another suggestion?

Bus travel in Switzerland with a Eurail Global pass.

Have a query on using bus for travelling short distances with the unlimited Global Eurail passes from the railway stations in Switzerland in general and in particular from Val-d'Illiez station to Village Champoussin... distance of 7 kilometers serviced by local Bus Route #81. We are a family of four (2 adults + 2 children aged 8 & 10 years) and will be staying at Champoussin Ski Resort for about a week and will be frequenting the distance between Val-d'Illiez station and Champoussin village almost everyday for a week. I understand Bus travel is NOT included in our Eurail Global pass. So, requesting for information here on the Bus passes and if there is any discount on the Swiss Bus tickets with the Eurail Pass? Thanks in advance for all your help.
