Florence to Pisa

I’m planning on adding a stop to Pisa but using alternative transport instead of the interrail pass so it doesn’t use up one of my travel days. I want a one way ticket to Pisa from Florence. I’ve looked into flix bus but the pick up stop is very far away from where I’ll be staying. Are there trains which will take me there instead and do these have to be booked in advance. thanks.

Airport to city transfer- Naples

What’s the best way to get from Naples airport into the city centre (preferably Napoli central). Are there busses/trams that can take you, if so are they easy to find and do you have to pre book? Is this walkable as google maps says this is a 50 min walk.

Booking the Eurostar Activates the Pass?

Hello. We are looking at buying a 7 days/1 month global pass. The eurostar will be part of our trip. I understand you should book this as early as possible and can do so up to 180 days in advance. If we reserve our seats at the earliest possible time (180 days before travel), will that start our 1 month time limit? Or will the pass start when we actually take our journey on the eurostar itself? Many thanks.

Brussels - Vienna Nightjet prices

Hi everyone, I have some quick questions concerning the OBB Nightjet linking Brussels to Vienna.I’m a scout groupe leader and we’re going on a camp next summer (July 2023). We were planning on taking an Interrail pass for the whole groupe because we want to travel all by train. (let me know if any of you already took that train)Our first train would be the Brussels to Vienna nightjet and I can’t find some usefulll information.  First of all, how much does this journey coust with an interrail pass ? I found some people saying it costs only about 30€ and some saying they could’nt get any discount with their pass.   Secondly, I d’ont understand the concept of “private compartment”. It seems like its cheaper to take two private compartments of 3 people than taking a 6bed compartment which seems odd.  Hope anyone can help us for our camp. Have a good day y’all, Basile

Booking on train tickets in Italy via Austrian OBB site using One-country Itay Eurail Pass, possible?

Hi, this lovely community has been great help in understanding how to reserve tickets for Eurail passes. I understand that it is possible to reserve seats for travels within Italy via the OBB website. However, I currently hold the One-country Italy only Eurail pass instead of the global version. Since the only discount applicable for Eurail pass on the OBB website is ‘Interail/Eurail - Globalpass’, I was wondering if a One-country Eurail passholder like me will be able to use the OBB site to reserve seats. It will be great if there is someone who can share some insight if the tickets booked on the OBB site mentions anything about ‘Global pass’ as I do not want to get into trouble for booking the wrong tickets. Please help!

Accidentally seat reservation wrong date Thalys

I accidentally booked seat reservation for 27th instead of 28th December trains Paris-Bruxelles with Thalys trains. The train number is the same, departure time is same. My Ticket requires a seat reservation, but it’s not available to reserve anymore for any trains for tomorrow the 28th. Can I still travel ? What will happen, can i prove i bought it, but made a mistake? I know there are still places left since on Thalys it still possible to book, but it cost 150euros for a ride of 1h45.

Seat Reservation Price

We bought an Interrail global ticket (15 days in 2 months). We’re wondering if the price of the seat reservation will be reduced due to our ticket or if they will stay the same?

Nightjet von Stuttgart Hbf nach Venedig Santa Lucia

Hallo,ich würde gerne unter nightjet.com ein Ticket von Stuttgart Hbf nach Venedig Santa Lucia für den 20.04.23 buchen. Abfahrt in Stuttgart soll um 20:29 Uhr sein. Jetzt musste ich leider feststellen, dass keine Angebote für eine Buchung vorhanden sind. Ich habe mal recherchiert und festgestellt, dass im gesamten Zeitraum vom 11.04.23 - 18.05.23 keinerlei Angebote für eine Ticket Buchung vorhanden sind - egal ob nun Sitzwagen, Liegewagen oder Schlafwagen.  Kann man in diesem Zeitraum keine Tickets buchen oder sind alle Tickets bereits ausverkauft? Viele GrüßeSilvia

1st class seat reservation with 2nd class pass?

I recently booked a reservation for Eurostar from Paris to London. I didn’t realize it was a 1st class reservation until I saw it on the ticket that it only valid for 1st class only. I actually did input my Eurail pass number in when booking, so I am not sure why it went through. There is no 2nd class ticket available to exchange. I am currently in Italy and not sure if the ticket office here can help since it is a different train operator. I was wondering if it is possible to pay the difference in price from 2nd to 1st class for reservation from b-europe. Anyone had the same experience? Should I call the customer service or I can just pay the difference at the Paris station?

Reservations cancellation/exchange due to UK strike

Hi - after people thoughts...We need to change TGV and Eurostar reservations from 7 Jan to 8 Jan due to issues with onward travel in the UK on 7 Jan (strike). I contacted customer support as I’d really like to not loose the fees paid already (and having to pay them again with new reservations). A bit warry of the response time - high volume and now holidays too - and some enquiries will be more urgent with folks traveling now. Wondering about going ahead cancelling and rebooking now while there is still availability, and try to deal with fees seperatly ? Or do we have to totally forget about the fees anyway? If we stay in London on the 7th (not ideal as wasn’t planning to pay hotel), we can’t use the pass on 8th for our onward travel (and final destination, where we need to go) as it will more than 2 out/inbound days). The whole trip has been a waste of a pass from start to finish because of the strikes and engineering work 😣 (I have to pay and go to London by bus, 8+hours, instead of

I have a lot of questions about interrail.- How far in advance should the train be booked? (We go through Vienna (AT)). Is this reservation chargeable?- Are there limits in the size or weight of the luggage?- If we take the train at 7 p.m. and arrive the next day at 9 a.m., does that count as one or two days of travel?Thank you for your answers !French versionCet été, je pars avec mon groupe d'animés (entre 16 et 23 ans) en Slovénie.

Reimbursement reservations tgv due to strike

We have tgv seat reservations for next sunday, but the train has been cancelled due to strikes. No rebooking is possible because all alternatieve trains are fully booked. We have to revert to slower local trains. SNCF offers a 20% reimbursement, but we cannot get this because the seats were booked through interrail. How can we be reimbursed by interrail? We cannot find any information on the website.

Scammy route planner

I just checked availability on a connection on https://www.interrail.eu/de/book-reservationsBecause the critical connection was available, I bought the interrail pass. Now, if I use an incognito tab, the connection is still available, but with the pass, it shows up as “unavailable”.This is, at best, scammy and bait & switch behavior.
