I'm going Interrailing through Northern and Western Europe this summer, starting off with a flight out to Finland from the UK. Since I'm not planning on travelling around Finland (I'm staying in Helsinki for a few days), then getting the Ferry to Sweden and staying in Stockholm for a few days, I wouldn't actually be using the pass until around 8/9 days into my trip, so it would make sense to make the pass start later and extend my trip.
Is this possible? Please say it's possible.
Hopefully this makes sense, thanks.

sure, of course, that 's what more+more people do. Certainly from so far as FI.
Fly in cheapo to somewhere-make the trip, fly back from somewhere else.
That IR-scheme dates from over 40 years ago when there were no Ryans, no cheap flites at all in fact and anyone assumed train was the only way to go.

Hi!
Yeah, this is no problem. You can buy an Interrail pass at train stations abroad, just make sure that you get a pass with the correct country of residence printed on = UK in your case. You will need your passport/ID for the purchase of the ticket.
However, you could also buy the ticket online in our affiliate shop at [ux]https://rail.shop/interrail[/ux] to support our work which we offer for free, thank you. Then just simply fill in the day you want to start your IR trip as the first day of validity. :)
