To London from US Travel

Is the Omicron affecting visitors to get back to the States? My husband and I were planning on coming to London and Paris in January, but I think it's best we wait until the summer as the numbers have gotten extremely high and I don't want to risk being stuck abroad for 2 weeks. What do you think???

Adding journeys to an active travel day while travelling

Hi,I have only used paper passes before, but this summer I will use the mobile pass. When using the mobile pass, I have to add journeys to my pass to activate a travel day and make the journey appear on the ticket of that travel day.My question is; do I have to add all the journeys of single a travel day before I activate and start that travel day, or can I continue to add journeys to that same travel day when I’m on the move and when that travel day has already started?Let’s say that I start a travel day by taking the morning train from Berlin to Munich. The plan is, then, to spend a few hours in Munich, before I continue to Salzburg. All in one travel day. As I start that trip, and as I arrive in Munich, I still don’t know for how many hours I will stay before I continue my trip. So, regarding the mobile pass, I want to add the journey from Berlin to Munich, activate the travel day and make that trip. Then, when I feel that I have had enough of Munich, I want to add the next journey

Interrail tales: Bread, cheese, tomatoes and Tito

For several days, Sarah and her new travel acquaintance Kay had been followed at a distance around Belgrade by three men in dark suits. “And then she confided in me that she was going out with President Tito’s son.” Sarah’s Interrail tale was one of many I recorded during my own 2,000-mile rail odyssey in the summer of 2023. Find out more in my blog. https://ian-lacey.com/2023/10/05/interrail-tales-bread-cheese-tomatoes-and-tito/

Anyone else with these app-issues?

I am currently doing interrail with the mobile pass.While I am happy with the functionalities of the app, it has given me multiple stressfull moments:app not letting me enter a journey manually, and hence I could not generate a QR code. I am touch with support to get myself refunded the ticket that I had to buy instead. All journeys disappeared, only to re-appear after 10 seconds or so. Those 10 seconds are a very long time with the ticket inspector standing next you, in a far away country with no common language. Did anyone else experience this? Or this one: Instead of saying 'Show ticket' in the yellow bar, it says 'add a journey': . It is totally unclear why the app would say so at this location. Restarting (takes multiple minutes) did not solve it, but later on that same day, it is back to normal. I will consider doing the paper pass next time to avoid these issues. It really took the fun of it all away.

trains in Norway

Hello everyone! From Interrail's "Rail planner" application, I can't find out which trains are included in the pass and whether it covers night routes. In particular, in the case of Norway, a search for the following trains (found on the railway companies' website) returns no results. I refer to the following trains:

using day day passes on sleeper trains

Hi! So, we will be traveling to Zagreb from Bonn on Friday and the next monday we well be returning and we have left 3 day passes. My partner has a printed global pass that she bought in Cologne and I have the mobile global pass. My doubts are regarding the use of the 3 days left. So: Friday: Bonn-stuttgart on an ICE train and then Stuttgart -Zagreb on a sleep train that we already have a reservation for. First doubt: according to what I understand this will only take one day travel as we will be boarding the train on Stuttgart on Friday, the same day we parted from Bonn. Am i correct?On monday we will take the sleeper train from Zagreb to Stuttgart so we will be arriving on Tuesday and then we will take an ICE train to Bonn. Second doubt: this will take our two final days of traveling as there will be the trip from Zagreb and the next day the trip to Bonn. Am i correct? Thanks!!

France June 15-30

I am a first time Eurail rider. I am looking to go from Paris to Zurich in mid to late June and nothing is available. Is there some kind of event or shutdown going on during this period? The train scheduler wants to send me north to Brussels then across to Germany and down to Zurich, it is like an extra 4 hours.

Delays because of corona

Hello, I’m travelling from Vienna to Paris. I’m going from Vienna to Frankfurt and from Frankfurt to Paris.My 2 options are the following:1) Vienna - Frankfurt 11:02 - 18:23Frankfurt - Paris 18:56 - 22:522) Vienna - Frankfurt 6:37 - 14:19Frankfurt - Paris 16:56 - 20:47So I prefer option 1 because is more direct and only 33 minutes to change and not having to wake up so early. My question is if any one knows if with corona there are any important delays and maybe that 33 minutes are not enough to change or even to reach the train.

Luxembourg Direct Lines - Is it possible to commute

I am an American student studying in Luxembourg for about 5 months in the Spring of 2024. I hope to be able to live in a city other than Luxembourg as I only need to be there 2 days out of the week for class. Paris would be amazing as it allows me to be so close to a major terminal. I know nothing about the train system and how it works in Europe. If I live in a city, for this example let’s say Paris, would it be possible to commute there two days of the week with a Eurail unlimited pass? Do they run often enough for me to catch one twice a day for these two days? Am I going to drown myself in reservation fees or is it similar to NYC subway’s “swipe your card, hop on, and then hop off” system? I also will be extensively travelling with the pass on days I do not have class, using it atleast twice per day, possibly more depending on where I end up. How easy is it to hop on a train and end up in a different country / how much in advance do I have to reserve them (show up to the station or
