Right so basically I booked a nightjet train from Amsterdam to Munich for me and my 4 friends and I could input their names. Now I have a mate - Andrew Boyne - whom we exclusively refer to as Phone (Long Story). Therefore, I put his name down on the booking as Phone Boyne. Will they have an issue with it if thats not the name on his passport? Thanks.
I am aware of the intricacies of our stupidity.
Hey,
My friend and I have won an Interrail pass through DiscoverEU, and we’re really excited! I was wondering if someone could explain how it works in practice.
Also, do you have any suggestions or tips for planning the trip?
And one more thing is it possible to travel to Iceland with the Interrail pass?
I had the opportunity of going last year for DiscoverEU and it was truly an unforgettable experience. I wanted to share some tips and advice for any future travelers:
- Always check the app. Any cancellations or delays of trains will show up on the app.
- If a train is cancelled or delayed, take photos of evidence (screenshots, pictures of monitors at station or on trains etc) as you may be entitled to a reimbursement from the DiscoverEU team. Check their faqs and websites
- Try choose direct trains in between destinations when possible. If you have any changeovers, make sure you leave adequate time in between trains. (I chose 30 mins but the safest option would be 1hr)
- If you want to explore as many countries/places as you can (as I did), Benelux and central Europe are great options as they have lots of stuff to do, relatively cheap and easily accessible by train. I personally went to Belgium, Netherlands, Germany and Czechia but there are many more countries in Central Europe and Balkans that are good options.
- For inbound and outbound trains/flights, choose destinations that go/fly daily, in case anything goes wrong.
- Maximise your use of travel days.
If you have any questions, I will try to answer them as much as I can.
Most importantly, make sure to have fun and experience the different cultures Europe has to offer!
Hi! I’m planning to interrail through Croatia in late August but I have no idea, are croatian trains mostly on time? Are transfers below 10 minutes realistic or should I be more cautious? This is more or less my itinerary, but I’m afraid of ending up for the night in the middle of nowhere. Any insight would be appreciated!
Hi! I know this is pretty last minute but I have the Discover EU pass and am looking for a travel buddy to visit Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Ljubljana this month. Planning to stay in hostels for around 3-4 days in each city.
19F, love trying new foods, wandering cities, soaking up culture :)
If anyone is travelling this route this month, please pm me!
Also, if anyone has any recommendations and hidden gems along these places, please feel free to share as well!
