Hi! Nice to meet you all :)
I have a question on the booking of Munich to Salzburg. I was trying to book via the mobile app but it shows my pass isn’t valid in some of the countries, while I double checked on all the sites that it is included in the pass.
Please help! Thanks!
+15You have to add Salzburg manually and select Germany as Country ;) as Salzburg HBF is the offical railborder between Germany and Austria even as the political is few meters away.
+15In General the borderstations should be have both Countries other examples are Passau (Austria/Germany), Kufstein(Austria/Germany) Bayerisch Eisenstein (Czech Republic / Germany), Simbach (Germany/Austria), Schaffhausen (Germany/Switzerland),St.Magareten (Switzerland/Austria), Buchs SG (Switzerland/Austria) For Rails Liechtenstein doesnt exist :D. Brenner (Austria/Italy) Tarvisio Boscoverde (Austria/Italy)
Tirano (Italy/Switzerland), Chiasso (Italy/Switzerland), Geneve (France/Switzerland) ,Basel SBB (France/Switzerland) Limone-Confine (Italy/France)
Außerfernbahn can be a bit difficult as “Transit” with a change in Pfronten/Reutte is a German tarif Route (Garmisch - Kempten) but if you stops along the route it´s Austrian tarif :D
This list are just the real Bordertarif Stations i know.
+15The regionaltrains (RE), the Intercities (EC or IC) and the Railjets (EXP or RJ or RJX) should be covered. Iam not sure about Westbahn as the route is pretty new.
In general please dont use the Railplanner for planning the route please use a local app or website (Because of Liveupdates regarding delays / plattform changes) for Germany & Austria you can use either DB Navigator or Scotty (from ÖBB). Another app that´s quite good is Muj Vlak from Ceske Drahy (Czech Rail) this app combines a online mode and (if the packages are downloaded) even a quite actual offline mode.
+10The Interrail/Eurail Global Pass is accepted on Westbahn trains also in Germany, I’m not sure about the validity of Interrail/Eurail German Rail Pass.
Also not sure, if it is possible to add it via Railplanner App as train.
You have to add Salzburg manually and select Germany as Country ;) as Salzburg HBF is the offical railborder between Germany and Austria even as the political is few meters away.
unfortunately, this option does not work according to recent feedback :( This is one of the few instances where a one-country pass is used outside the country, and we are still working on the application for it.
As a workaround, please fill in the details of your journey until the last station before crossing the border and then travel the rest without having it added as part of your journeys in the app. Please use this page as a reference in case there's an issue with the ticket inspector (https://www.interrail.eu/en/interrail-passes/german-rail-pass the "Included destinations" part under the header Can I go to other countries with a German Rail Pass?). You can make seat reservations locally at the station.

Shouldn't be so difficult to solve, it seems to me. Chiasso works on a one country pass for Italy, even without having to add the journey manually.

I have forwarded your feedback to the right department. This would be a great improvement!
