When buying a one country pass it says that we are allowed 1 travel day to leave and return to the country of residence, but when getting further it says we are not? I'm a little confused about this, as I live in Denmark and getting to Sweden would be nice on the pass...
You must get this question so much so sorry for asking if it’s obvious, but Internal is really confusing on this matter.
Basically (as a UK resident) I am leaving from St Pancras station to go out the country, and that is where my journey starts from in the planner. However my journey actually begins from a different station; which I was intending to buy a return ticket for as I believed the ticket didn’t cover travel in-country even if it’s on the same day. However I read somewhere that I could just change the start point to my local station and I won‘t have to pay for the outbound or return ticket to the point of exit, which saves me £40.
I don’t wanna fuck it up and accidentally use a travel day or something so please let me know how this works and if I would need to purchase a ticket or not.
I have a discoverEU Interrail pass and planned and booked this 10 day trip with my 3 friends on the 20th of July: Trento (departure) -> Frankfurt -> Amsterdam -> Brussels (2 hour change wait) -> Paris -> Barcelona -> Montpellier -> Lyon -> Milan and then back to Trento.
Along the way I booked Airbnb's and hotels (I'm not a fan of hostels) and I'm still unsure on how to hold my stuff, I don't know which option is best
backpack plus small suitcase combo.
big trekking-like backpack with a small "going out" bag for sightseeing.
If anyone has bag recommendations from Decathlon or other storefronts I'd appreciate it! :)
Hi everyone,
I’m travelling with a friend using 2 second-class Interrail passes and we’re trying to get from Amsterdam to Montpellier on 9 July.
The problem is that every route involving Eurostar says either “No price results were found” or that there are limited pass-holder seats, and I can’t reserve them. On the Eurostar website it also seems like the pass-holder reservations are sold out.
We must arrive in Montpellier on 9 July, but we’re flexible with departure time and are happy to take a longer route if necessary.
Has anyone been in this situation before?
Were you able to find another route using your Interrail pass?
Did the NS International desk at Amsterdam Centraal help you find reservations that weren’t available online?
Would you recommend avoiding Eurostar completely and going via Brussels/Lille, or another route?
If you had to buy one regular ticket, which section was the cheapest to pay for?h
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I’m getting quite stressed because this is my first Interrail trip and I’m worried we won’t make it.

Hello, I will be travelling to Switzerland the first time in my life and I'm currently checking out my options for transportation. I will be coming in from Austria and then head to Lauterbrunnen area. My original plan was the take a Flixbus from Bregenz to Bern and then continue by train from there on. (same way back) I'm planning to do one day trip to Grindelwald as well. All in all, that option should cost around 130-140€. Then I could instead get the Swiss Travel Pass Flex for 227€ for 3 days. The advantage would be that I'd have more flexibility and I would arrive a lot quicker in Lauterbrunnen. But I'm not sure if that's worth \~90€ more, since I'm a student and not swimming in money. Are there any other advantages to the Travel Pass that I'm not thinking of?
I'm planning on travelling to Prague from Dresden and am looking into travel options.
I have the deutschland card but it seems to me like it might be easier and cheaper to take the flixbus (instead of the train to Schona and from Schona to Prague)
What has been your experience with flixbus or do you guys know a better way I could get there?
I am guilty of delaying all resvns until late, I am traveling from July 11-17th and after waiting for a long time made eurostar resvns(paid fortune but didnt want to do air which was considerable cheaper for family of 4), seeking advice on how to book from paris to interlake/brig, plan to be there 3-4 days and then head to Milan.
Eurorail pass is $1150 for family of 4 for 4 days and i feel its not worth it, any advices for a late min traveller? TIA
I guess all details of the question are in the title.
Got a side lower berth on a train from Tuticorin to Chennai for the first time, and I'd always wanted to travel in one. A woman in her late 30s or early 40s politely asked if I could swap with her since she had a side upper berth.
I declined because I really wanted to experience the side lower, and I felt the side upper near the washroom would be brighter, noisier, and smellier.
She was polite and understanding, but now I feel a bit guilty. Was it okay to keep the seat I was assigned, or should I have swapped?
Hey,
I'm improvising a trip of 4 days (17-21 jul) from Paris to Rhinland and I hesitate to take an Interrail.
I lernt that there were only a limited number of seats for each trains that could be purchase with it, so I was searching if there was a tool to check if I will be able to purchase the trains I want before taking my pass.
Hey, I’m gonna go on a 3 week interrail journey later this year and I’m still a bit unsure of how many clothes to pack, would appreciate any tips and experiences
We are on route.
Getting accommodation on big capitals last minute is a nightmare. Expensive, when finding a hole in the wall to sleep.
Due to cancellation/delays we have been stranded a couple of times on smaller places, where finding accomodation was somehow easier/more affordable.
This makes me think: is the winning strategy here, in summer to stay away from the big tourist places and only visit them during the day from outside on a day trip and out in the evening? Trading the cost of the accommodation for the commute time, I guess.
I know there is not a right/wrong answer here. Just looking for the advice of people with more experience than me.
I am trying to book seat reservations for the DPN RE25 Munchen Hbf 1044 Praha Hl.n. 1621 and I can't make the reservation. The error says "it is not available" Is it because the train is full? I know it is not mandatory to have a seat reservation for this train, but I've heard a lot of friends being kicked out Germany-Prague and i want to make sure I get there without problems.
I have reserved a seat for the train journey from Vilnius to Kraków via the Polish “PKP Intercity” website. On this route, you have to change trains in Mockava. Is the reservation for the train from Vilnius to Mockava also valid, or do I need to make a separate booking via the “LTG LINK” website?
We just reserved 2 seats on an sbb eurocity train shortly before departure. When we got our tickets (through eurail using the “book seats” button in the app for the correct date), the date on the top of the ticket showed tomorrow’s date. The lady on the train made us buy 2 new seats at an increased price even though we bought the other seats in front of her. Since this is an error from eurail/interrail, is there any way to get the money from either one of these reservations reimbursed?
Hello! I am trying to buy a railjet ticket from Vienna to Budapest, specifically the RJX 19929 at 9:42 AM July 14th, but the ticket appears no where on OBB’s website. When I want to buy a ticket, it only shows Austrian cities. There is also a tab on the app for other countries but it’s only Bavaria, Bratislava, and Baden-Württemburg. I wanted to buy this first party but Google only shows me buying them on Omio. Please help me and tell me what I’m doing wrong!
Hi, I’m booked on RJ385 from Copenhagen to Berlin, when I booked a while ago, the direct train was showing in the timetables for the 27th of July at 1022. It’s now not. Does anyone know if it’s still running or what the current situation is with it. Normally I wouldnt worry too much but I’m taking a group of 29!
Made a reservation on a EuroNight train via ÖBB that does not show up on the Interrail app as a valid connection between the two stations. Further, information on the route online does not list the city I'm getting on. How do I verify that this train connection actually exists? Or am I just going to have to try my luck and see if the train is there in person?
Ok, I'm on route, and following the advice of everybody I am flexible in spirit and try to enjoy travelling light and go with the wind.
Yesterday was our first hit. The train we were looking for was sold out (reservations) so we have to adapt and change the route. That might mean we might have to pass the night somewhere else tonight. Not sure where, depends on transfers.
How is everybody managing this? Assuming there are always available hostels near train stations? Ready to sleep in the station if that comes? Searching on route two hours before dusk?
Really curious to understand how people are managing the stress of not knowing what tonight might bring.
Hi everyone!
Mods, please let me know if this kind of post isn’t allowed. I’m not trying to sell directly here—I just wanted to ask where I could find someone who might be interested.
I have a €63.50 SNCF voucher that I’d like to sell, as I won’t be able to use it before it expires in June 2027. I live in India, so unfortunately I won’t be traveling in France during the voucher’s validity.
The voucher is valid for eligible TGV and INTERCITÉS journeys in France, as well as certain international routes (such as France ↔ Switzerland, France ↔ Italy, and France ↔ Germany), subject to SNCF’s voucher terms.
I’m happy to sell it at a discount, and payment can be made securely via PayPal.
If anyone is interested, or if you know a better place where I can post this, I’d really appreciate your help. Thank you!
