I have emailed customerservice@interrail.eu 4 days ago regarding why my night train ticket from Genova to Rome shows price of 3 Euros when I have actually been charged 122 euros. The reservation ticket also states it is a second class ticket when I have actually booked the first class couchette. The ticket shows a seat number instead of a couchette number. i.e 14A, 14B etc.

However my problem is I have paid for single couchette but been issued a second class seat and second class ticket of 3 Euros, when I have charged 122 euros. But if I use the tool to refund then I might not receive the full refund as is not my fault.

Indeed, do not request a refund via the tool. Customer support should handle this. They are very busy but will get back to you.

On which day is that journey?

Please note that in Italy there is no 1st class couchette. All couchettes are 2nd class.


I am travelling on 28th June.

122€ however sounds like the supplement for a sleeper for single use.

Please note that this is more expensive than the normal fare currently available: you can have a single sleeper for €89.90:

And you don't need a travel day.


thank you for highlighting that I could have obtained the tickets outside of the interrail website. That is very useful especially as it is flexible to use any day.
