Choosing an Interrail Pass

Youth, Adult and Senior Interrail Passes Compared

Interrail prices the same pass differently by age band. Knowing which band you fall into — and that it is fixed by your age on the first travel day — helps you budget accurately and avoid buying the wrong ticket.

Key takeaways

  • Youth covers ages 12–27 and is the cheapest band.
  • Adult covers 28–59 at the standard price.
  • Senior covers 60+ and is usually discounted from the adult price.
  • Your age on the first travel day decides the band for the whole trip.

Which band applies to you

Choose the band that matches your age on the day you first activate a travel day, not the day you buy. A traveller who turns 28 mid-trip still uses the Youth pass they bought while 27.

When travelling as a group with mixed ages, each person buys the pass for their own band; there is no single group pass that blends ages.

Frequently asked questions

What if I turn 28 during my trip?

Your band is set by your age on the first travel day. If you were 27 then, your Youth pass stays valid for the whole trip even after your birthday.
