You can book seat reservations on our website once you have your Pass. Booking works best on a laptop or desktop computer. If you start booking from the Interrail app, you’ll be taken to our website to finish. Once your reservations are booked, you can also find them in the app.
How to book
-
Go to our website and log in to your account. No account yet? Create one first.
-
Go to Seat reservations and select Book seats.
-
Check your traveller list. Everyone from your Pass order is added to the Travellers section of your account automatically. If someone you’re travelling with bought their Pass in a separate order or from one of our partners, add them: go to Travellers, click Add a traveller and enter their mobile Pass number, or the Pass Cover Number for a paper Pass.
-
Enter your departure and arrival stations, your travel date and time, then click Search.
-
Click Edit travellers and select everyone who’s travelling with you. To travel together, select all of them, so their reservations are booked in the same order. If some travellers can’t be booked together, for example because their Passes are a different type or class, or cover different countries, or because the group is too large, you’ll see a message explaining why.
-
Choose the reservation you want and add it to your cart.
-
Search for more trains, or go straight to checkout. Payment works best with fewer than four train reservations per order, so split bigger bookings into separate orders.
-
Click the cart icon at the top, check that all details are correct, then click Checkout.
-
Review your selection and continue to Traveller details.
-
Fill in the traveller details and continue to review your order.
-
Check your order one last time, read and accept the terms and conditions, and continue to payment.
-
Choose a payment method and pay. That’s it, your reservations are booked.
Before you pay
- Check the date and time of every train in your cart. If you swapped one train for another, remove the first one, so you don’t book both.
- A booking fee of €2 per person, per train applies when you book with Interrail.
- Booking Eurostar? It only has a limited number of seats for travellers with a Pass, so book as soon as you know your travel dates.
After you’ve paid
You’ll usually get a confirmation email within 30 minutes. It can take a little longer, because your seats need to be assigned and your tickets sent to you.
No tickets after an hour? Don’t place another order. Log in to your account and check Reservations overview. If your reservations aren’t there, contact us.
Something went wrong?
If you see an error message at checkout, or there’s a problem with your ticket, don’t place another order. Contact us first. In many cases, we can fix the problem or get your ticket for you.
