How do I know the train journey exists?

I'm about to use my pass for the first time in 5 days. I've just read that you pick the train times you want and it instantly gives you qr code tickets to get on the trains. But I've seen that not all journeys on the app are accurate. So if you use a travel day and pay for a seat reservation on the app (I'm not 100% sure how that works yet) and you could turn up and there's no train. I haven't clicked on anything yet so I hope someone could help me figure this out.

Can I share the itenary of a travel day with my companion?

Hi Community,It would be very handy if I could share a planned travel day from the Rail Planner with my companion, so she can add it to her Trip without having to search for herself. This does not seem possible, only with total Trips - or am I wrong?Hope so,regards, Pieter

Ravenna to Venice on Saturday June 15

I want to travel from Ravenna to Venice on Saturday June 15th.  We travel to Ravenna from Florence on the previous Saturday to take a cruise, and we are staying for two days following the cruise in Venice.  I was able to finalize all other train travel throughout Italy about a month ago, but this particular train is only showing a 6 a.m. departure from Ravenna on this date (and this is too early as we won’t have disembarked from the ship at that time).  I’ve been checking this route everyday for the last month and thought more times might become available today, 2 months out, but still nothing. Does anyone know why this might be?  Any assistance is appreciated.  thanks.

1st trip: Paris - Sicily by train. How to do ?

Hello everyone!I would like to take a trip from Paris to Sicily. I don't understand how to do this with Interrail, especially since I would like to take a night train part of the way between Naples and Sicily, to Catania in particular. As far as I understand from Interrail, they have a connection between Naples and Catania. I would also like to take the return trip from Sicily to Paris.I have done some research and there is a train that detaches once you arrive at Villa San Giovanni/Messina. Bonjour tout le monde !Je souhaiterai faire un trip de Paris jusqu'en Sicile. Je ne comprend pas comment m'y prendre avec Interrail surtout que j'aurai souhaité faire une partie de mon trajet en train de nuit entre Naples et la Sicile notamment Catane car si j'ai bien compris d'après Interrail, ils font la liaison entre Naples et Catane. Mais aussi le retour Sicile à Paris.Je me susi renseignée, il existe un train qui se détache une fois arrivé à Villa San Giovanni/Messine.

sleeper trains to Italy

Can anyone recommend overnight sleeper trains in Italy? Would like to go from Venice to Naples and then Naples back up to Florence or Milan but  there don’t seem to be many direct overnight trains to these destinations. Do any of you have any experience booking this type of trip?

Print out e-tickets?

HiI have a ten-travel-day mobile Interrail pass, and have planned out my itinerary for a journey through France, Switzerland, Austria and Germany. I now have all the tickets ready on my mobile phone, and have made the necessary seat reservations (which I know have to be printed out and shown separately).I understand there is no way of backing the e-tickets up to another device for security, but am worried about what happens in the (hopefully unlikely) case that I lose my phone or it gets broken while I am travelling. I have managed to take screengrabs of each of my tickets as shown on my phone, each of which clearly shows the QR Codes for each ticket, and have transferred these to my home desktop computer. If I now print these out, can I use them instead of the tickets on my phone in case of need?Many thanks

Use of Apps on Eurail Global Pass

Hi Guys, I bought a Eurail Global Pass. I am using a Rail Planner App to book my trips. I noticed there is another app called DB app that can also provide train trip booking. So instead of Rail Planner app, can I use the DB app to book my train trips linking this app to my Eurail Global Pass ? Thank YouJohn

Popularity backpacking Balkans

Hey people, I have been interrailing for about 2 weeks now. I started in Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest and I loved the amount of people of about my age (21) that were solo traveling as well. After that, I went to Timisoara (Romania) which was very calm and I am now in Cluj-Napoca, which also seems to be calm. My plan is to do way more countries in this area, but I feel a bit worried now that I won't meet that many people there. However, I have been loving the most of solo traveling to be meeting new people. I am traveling from April untill June and I am mostly going to hostels. The countries that I had planned to go to are: Romania, Bulgaria, North-Macedonia, Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia, Croatia and Slovenia.What have your experiences been? Do you think it will get better if I continue my tour? Or would you advise me to go somewhere else in Europe? Or do you have any other tips?

2 nights at Milan - where to stay?

Hi, a friend and I are looking for accommodation for 2 nights in Milan in August this year. Since Milan is not known for cheap prices and we don't want to share a room with other people, but prefer to have our privacy, we wanted to ask here if there are any insider tips that are not so easy to find on the internet or don't appear there at all?We are happy about every tip! Thanks in advance!!

Help with Europe Interrail itinerary

I am interested in doing interrailing in Europe this summer for a week or so with my 11 year old son. A possible itinerary I would like- London to Strasbourg (on Eurostar)- Strasbourg to Munich - Munich to Salzburg - Salzburg to Zagreb - Zagreb to Bratislava - Bratislava to Budapest - Budapest to Prague - Prague to Nuremberg- Nuremberg to Brussels .- Brussels to London The cities I most want to see are Munich, Salzburg, Zagreb, Budapest, Prague. Are there any other destinations or routes I should consider to save time or ease of transfers? Is the above itinerary sensible in terms of train times and changes? Are there are any better night train routes to consider. I am open to suggestions. How long should I spend in each location? I was thinking 2 nights in Munich, Salzburg, Budapest and Prague. Any suggestions of things to see and do with an 11 year old.

2 trains in 1 day

hello all  We are flying into FCO from Toronto in September and supposed to land at 1215hrs. We plan to travel onward to Florence the same day. We have Eurail Global Pass, 1st class.I see there is 1 train from FCO to Florence Santa Marai Novella leaving at 1353hrs. Not sure that we will be able to make that train. flight delay, customs, baggage. So we can take the Leonardo Express to Rome Termini. And then from Rome Termini to Florence. if I book FCO to Florence, there is only 15-minute change time. That makes me nervous, so I would like to book separately trains from FCO to Rome and then Rome to Florence. Never booked 2 separate trains on 1 day, so I am looking for assistance. i know that it should still be considered 1 travel day.

DESPERATE - cant book seat reservation? :(

Hi! Does anyone know if there’s a problem with the website right now?I’ve been trying to buy train reservations for the past week but I am not able to press the button "continue to traveler details”, or if I get through to the next page where I put in our birth city’s, I then can’t click past to “proceed with payment.” It just won’t let me click the button to proceed further.I’ve tried everything - Eurail website on: iPhone, laptop on safari, laptop on chrome, cleared cache, tried on my friends phones & laptops, tried different times of the day, tried to book 1 train instead of multiple.. I need to make a reservation for 13 trains for our Europe trip, for late June-July. I filled in my name, address etc. but I can't buy them… we leave in 8 weeks, some of our trains are nearly fully booked out, and I’m stressing out 😔I’ve reached out to the chat bot & to support and I’m waiting to hear back. Is the website down??? Or how can I buy these seat reservations. We have a 1st class pa

Taking earlier train than the one I reserved seats.

We arrive by plane at Zurich airport @ 16:35 . I estimated the time to make a reservation to Chur, I chose 17:28 to Zurich HB then 18:38 to Chur. My question is if we arrive earlier can we just take the earlier trains ? Will my e-ticket still be valid ?

different issues in my first reservation

Hello everybody,I paid for a global Interrail pass including all European countries which I activated and which will take effect next Monday (April 15) for my first trip Paris Gare de Lyon - Padova. I wanted to book the journey, which departs from Paris GDL at 7.21am and passes through Basel SBB, Milan and Padova (arriving at 7.14pm). However, I have several problems: * I can't book my ticket with a seat for the Paris Gare de Lyon, Basel SBB journey, as it displays this message: « One or more Passes don't cover this journey Select the travellers with valid Passes for this journey to book reservations. »* Finally, the prices displayed on the Rail planner application and Eurail are not at all the same (up to 3-4 times more expensive) ex: Basel SBB -> Milan (13€ on Rail planner vs 62€ on Eurail) Could you please help me Thank you very much 🙏🏼
