Interrail pass - validity question

[LUKAnorthwest]

Hello!

Just a question on Interrail passes. I bought a 2 month pass in the sale on the 7th may. It says I have 11 month to use it. Does this mean 11 months to start using it?

Also what day is the last day I can start using the pass. If I was to start it on the 6th April, will that then run until 6th June?

You'll have 11 months to activate it, the validity itself (2 months in your case) will only start once the pass is activated.

Last day to start using it-or at least activate, even if you cannot travel for a few days-is 6/4/23. It will then be valid untill-last day 5/6/23, 23.59 On the very last day it is officially not allowed to go after midnite-though if you happen to use the last train to get home that is a little late to arr at 0.12 noone will care.
Currently myself now enjoying a discount paper pass for 3 month-which will probably also need at least 3 covers to write down all travels.

No, the latest possible start date is always exactly 11 months after purchase, so in this case 7 April 2023.
