Vous pouvez commencer votre premier voyage en train à n'importe quel moment après minuit le premier jour de validité de votre Pass et vous devez terminer votre dernier voyage avant minuit le dernier jour de validité de votre Pass.

Pass Flexi ou continu ?
Si vous voyagez avec un Pass Flexi, vous pouvez effectuer des trajets en train illimités durant chaque jour de voyage, pendant toute la durée de validité du Pass. Le nombre de jours de voyage dépend du type de Pass sélectionné. Vous pouvez choisir la date d'utilisation de vos jours de voyage à votre convenance. If you have a continuous pass (only available with the InterRail Global Pass) you don't need to fill in travel days, as you can travel on every day your pass is valid.

Remplissez le calendrier de voyage

Remember to fill in the date of each travel day on the Travel Calendar printed on your InterRail pass. Do this before you board your first train of the day. À défaut, vous seriez considéré comme voyageant sans billet, ce qui risquerait de vous valoir une amende et beaucoup de contrariété !

Make sure you enter the date correctly into the travel calendar. En cas d'erreur, vous devrez inscrire la bonne date dans la case du jour de voyage suivant et perdrez par conséquent un jour de voyage !

Bénéficiez de la règle de 7 PM.
Is your first trip of the day a direct night train departing after 7 p.m. and arriving after 4 a.m.? If it is, then you'll save yourself a travel day. Just fill in the arrival date in the Travel Calendar.

The 7 p.m. rule also applies to all free night ferries covered by your InterRail pass, regardless of the departure and arrival time. Choose whether you enter the departure or arrival date. En savoir plus sur la règle de 7 pm..
 

Train reservation fees aren't included in your pass. During your InterRail trip you may have to make a reservation for certain trains – high-speed, international and night trains. Seats on these trains can be in high demand, especially within and between popular destinations such as Italy, France and Spain, and during high-season.

You can often avoid paying reservations by researching an alternative route – usually with more stops and a longer travel time – but saving you any additional costs and giving you the chance to visit other destinations.
