Problems with outbound/inbound journey

Hi guys!I have the interrail global pass with 4 trips within a month. I hve already booked one trip from Vienna in Austria (where I live) to Stralsund in Germany. Now I wanted to book a train from Stralsund to Regensburg and it showed me that I had to use the second outbound/inbound trip. Why is that?I should mention that I`ve accidentally filled in Germany as my country of residence instead of Austria.Could anyone please help me? Our journey is going to be on the 10th, so it is pretty urgent...Thanks in Advance!!Tilmann

Trains from Slovenia - Istanbul

Hi everyone.  I can´t find a trip from Slovenia through Croatia (Zagreb) -- Serbia (Begorad) - Bulgaria (Sofia) to end destination Istanbul.It doesn´t have to be this exact route. Departure in Ljubliana and arrival Istanbul only are fixed.  Is there still this covid problem, that trains can´t pass the border?Or is it a problem of interrail website? Does anyone know more here? Planing this is already quite complicated, which makes me considering doing this trip in the Balkans at all. It seems to be stressful. What do you think? Is it still worth it? Thanks, Laura

Connection times in Latour de Carol

I’m looking at taking the route from France to Barcelona via Latour de Carol and noticed a wonderful piece of cross border scheduling. The Toulouse train arrives at 10:26 and the Barcelona train departs one minute earlier at 10:25!! Has anyone taken this morning train and can confirm the Barcelona train does in fact leave without waiting for the Toulouse train? Thanks.

Poland - no reservation - Can I stand?

I have a continuous 1st Class Interrail Pass and I want to take the 08.22 EC273 from Brno to Gdansk on Saturday 15th July (tomorrow). I went to the information desk at Brno train station yesterday to make reservations for the two legs of the journey which involve Polish trains and successfully bought a reservation for the Krakow-Gdańsk leg. However, the Czech lady I spoke to at the desk indicated that it was not possible to purchase a reservation for part-Polish section (Breclav-Krakow) of the Brno-Krakow leg of the journey.Can I still board the train and travel to Krakow without a seat reservation if I am prepared to stand all the way?If not, am I able to exchange or get reimbursed for the reservation I paid for (Krakow-Gdańsk) in order to make my journey on another date when I can reserve seats for the entirety of the Polish sections of the Brno-Gdańsk trip?

Train Norway: Stavanger-Kristiansand. Connection doesn't appear in the app

Hi there, I would like to know if someone has experience with the train Stavanger-Kristiansand in Norway. Because the trip doesn’t appear in the Interrail app, so I can’t add it to my trip. But according to the list of interrail, the train company VY is cooperating with interrail 🤷‍♀️So what should I do?

Eurail Global Pass and Ferries

Are any ferries between Italy and Greece included (i.e. not just discounted) in the Eurail Global pass? If so, what are they and where can I find them? I’m a little confused because on the Eurail map it clearly shows ferry routes between the two countries, but when searching the Eurail site all I can find is ferry services that are discounted. Thanks!!

Planning trip including TGV's

Hi, I'm new to this and am trying to plan a trip with my family this summer. I have checked websites of all the trains and reservation fees that I would have to pay but am having trouble with SNCF. I read that they have limited interrail tickets available, but on their website I can't seem to add that its an interrail pass booking. I don't have the interrail pass at the moment so it seems I can't check the interrail reservations until I have one.Is it possible to find out the availability of interrail places available before I purchase my interrail ticket?And if there is no interrail availability on certain tgv trains for example, then do I have to buy full price tickets? Rendering my interrail pass useless.TIA

HOw to get the updated seat reservation when the rail company notified the the train ride was modified?

Hi,Few weeks back I reserved seats for a train from Paris to Geneva via eurail. The rail company is SNCF. The train ride is starting from 2:16PM and finishing at 5:29PM.Then after few days, I received an email response from SNCF that they they had to modify the trip. The modified train ride is starting from 2:16PM and finishing at 5:46PM. The train number has not changed.So it is only a change of the arrival time of the same train. The email sent by SNCF includes “please make sure to refresh it in your app or re-print it.”. From eurail account, I still see the old seat reservation. Can someone help me if I keep using my existing seat reservation OR how can I generate the new seat reservation?

First time user looking for advice re seat reservations in Spain.

Hi. Did a search but couldn’t find an answer. Just bought 1st Interrail pass and planning trip from UK to France & Spain. Made seat reservations online OK for initial UK / France part of holiday. However, can’t make seat reservations online for Spanish part of holiday. We are travelling to 7 Spanish cities and booking accommodation so need to be sure we can reserve train seats / tickets. Can we do this in advance in the UK before we leave or only when we arrive in Spain which seems a bit risky as we will have already booked accommodation? Please advise the best way to do this. many thanks in advance.

Seat reservation night train Hamburg Hbf - Lund C

Hey all! I am (desperately) trying to get a seat reservation for a night train from Hamburg Hbf to Lund C tonight at 23:57, but it seems that the train is fully booked. Are there any possibilities of boarding despite this, can I get some “emergency seats” or even stand in a corner somewhere without risking a fine? I can’t get a hold of customer service at the station either. Thank you in advance, any tips are appreciated!

Physical copy interrail pass and reservation

My email about a train reservation in Italy says the following: 'Remember: you must be able to show physical copies of your reservations ánd your Interrail Pass to the conductor.  This email is not a valid ticket.  So keep your printed copies in a safe place'.Does this mean I only need a physical copy of the reservation or that I also need a physical copy of my interrail pass. If so, how do I get the physical copy of my interrail pass (where can I find it in the app to print it out)?

Booked seat reservations for a journey that is now sold out and therefore missing in the app

Hello, I have booked seat reservations for my friend and myself for our first travel day. I have saved the journey in my rail planner app and activated it as a travel day. My friend, though, is unable to do the same as the journey is sold out and therefore does not appear in the app anymore. How is she then supposed to have a valid, activated ticket for the journey? As mentioned before, both of us have a valid interrail pass as well as booked seat reservations for the journey.We are looking forward to receiving help as soon as possible!Kind regards,Signe Marie Juul Nielsen

Major reservation Issue - couldn't get through due to technical glitch

I booked my reservation from Brussels to Barcelona and made the payment, but I got an email from you saying that, although you received the payment, due to technical glitch the reservation couldn't get through. I replied to the email choosing the option that you will rebook it for me. However, until now I cannot see the reservation neither on our app nor your website. Please help me! I cannot reach a human at EU Interrail. I have written them several times but they haven't responded yet...

Reservations for multiple travellers

HiI’m a bit  confused about the best way to manage reservations for two of us travelling together. It seems there are two ways to manage a multi-person trip so that reservations are made together (so we can sit together): either by adding both travellers/passes to an account on the interrail web site or by adding both travellers/passes to the app on one mobile device.I understand that these two options are not connected, so it’s one or the other. Which option should I choose? Are there advantages to using the app option, eg we can make reservations together and have the reservation on the phone (without having to print out)? ThanksLee

Impossible to book seat reservations - the cart remains empty

Hello, I want to make reservations for my trip on the Interrail website. I add the desired reservations to the cart but the cart remains empty and it is therefore impossible for me to pay. Has anyone ever had this problem? I tried to contact Interrail support but they don’t answer. Thank you all.
