Hello, 
I’m thinking of buying an Interrail pass. I’d also like to use couchettes on sleeper trains. 
I’m wondering if there are special booking rates for Interrail. With the European Sleeper, it seems you pay the same price for a couchette booking whether you have an Interrail pass or not. 
What has been your experience?

On the European Sleeper website, you need to change the passengers from ‘1 Adult’ to ‘Interrail Reservation’.

In general, you can use this page as a guide to reservation costs, and how/ where to buy them:

It depends. If you book a long time in advance, then the cheaper non-refundable regular tickets can be around the same price as an Interrail reservation, which is refundable. Regular tickets have dynamic prices, but the pass reservations for ES have fixed prices, so what applies to your journey depends on when you book and what availability there is on your travel date.
