Aug 10, 2026, 11:21 AM@waldi somewhere on Interrail’s website there’s a list which lounges you can and can’t use. Generally in France it works, Germany it never does. Hungary works too. Others I don’t know.

@waldi Seems I got lucky twice. Hmmm 😳

@jon Where they able to read your Interrail ticket? When I tried that, they just looked surprised and did not consider it a ticket they like.

@waldi They glanced at Interrail, and scanned the QR on the reservation.

@jon Ah, so you used your reservation, which is your ticket then. At least this is what happened to me as well. They scanned the reservation and only glanced at the Interrail ticket or my status, which they could not read I assume.

@jon Another question: on the train, are you routinely asked for the Interrail ticket or will they accept the reservation on it's own?
In my limited exposure they asked for the ticket once on the train. In most other cases they accepted the reservation without.

@waldi they ask for Interrail about half the time in my experience

@waldi FWIW SNCF devices generally can read Interrail QR codes though!
