Get ready to travel

Hello everyone, Travelling with my niece from Australia in June. We are going from Salzburg to Amsterdam (yes a long day).We both have 1st class global Eurail passes.  The trip is-  Salzburg (EC212) → Munich (ICE 918)→ Dusseldorf  (ICE124)→ Amsterdam . The Eurail seat reservation page suggests  seat reservations optional on first two stages but recommended  from Dusseldorf to Amsterdam. RailEurope suggests no reservations needed. With first class passes, should we get reservations on any or all stages of the trip or will Thursdays (19th June) be fine to just arrive and find a seat?Many thanksJon

Well, i'm finding outWell, I'm finding the information about the Plus Pass and seat reservations quite confusing. In the product description, they state that only reservations for beds or bunk beds on overnight stays are excluded, so I tried to reserve seats with the Golden Pass, but I couldn't find an option for free access using the Plus Pass.I am traveling with my elderly parents and a child. I cannot risk traveling standing up. Does the Plus Pass grant seat reservations on Golden Pass trains? And if so, where and how do I make this reservation?

I am planning two travel austria and czech this time. It’s just for three days. Can I use two one-county passes of austria and czech? My route is Vienna-prague-Vienna. Stay two nights in prague. Please recommend sites and hot places in prague.  

How do I get a seat when it says not needed but I want to confirm section

Hi! I’ve just done my seat reservation for the train home from Paris to London. On the email I got it said to go onto the Eurostar website to get the actual reservation with my booking reference and last name. The issue I have is that I wasn’t given a booking reference. Does anyone know where I’d be able to find this or do I need to contact Interrail as the booking was made through them?  Thank you for any help! 

Hi, I need a cover number so I can make train reservations. Can it start by IN and be followed by 8 digit numbers ? That’s what I received in a mail from interrail just after I paid for my interrail. But ot doesnt satisfy Deutsche Bahn...

I am planning a trip in early September.The plan is to travel from the UK to Brussels via Eurostar, then take a night train.I was receiving emails fron European Sleeper earlier in the year advising of special deals in March.  Does anyone know from previous experience whether there is likely to be a sale for Travel in September, once the high season is winding down, or if I should play safe and book with my interrail pass now?Also is night jet or the European Sleeper better,.or just the same, experience -wise?  We will most likely go for a couchette in  a 4 or 6 women only scenario.Our final destination will he Budapest for a few days, so there will be a stopover somewhere.  Recommendations of such a stopover place that will be pleasant for a single night, reasonable accommodation at a good price;  not bothered about luxurious but dormitories and shared bathrooms are ,not on the list.

I've read a few times online and got told by a DB employee that you can't buy Spanish seat reservations at the DB anymore so here's a report for any future travellers:Before you reserve a train via the DB, you need to look up the connection at RENFE's website. If it's not reservable/findable there you can't reserve it via the DB. If it's fully booked the system at the DB will throw a "technical error" and sometimes it could also be thrown without any reason, you just need to try again a few days/weeks later. Newly added train routes and stations are also not instantly available, you need to wait.At least at a DB Reisezentrum it's still possible to reserve trains. Most employees will look up before how to buy a reservation but one employee was not motivated enough and just said it doesn't work and told me to try it online with the Interrail Booking System. They have an internal knowledge base which has all instructions for buying spanish reservations, e. g. the most important ones for a

I am trying to make a seat reservation for a train from Edinburgh to London using my Eurail Global pass. However, it gives me an error message that I am not able to make this seat reservation on the Eurail site and I need to either do this at a station or direct on the ACP Rail site. When I access site I then get a notice re the following, has anyone else experienced this issue? NoticeCurrently our site is only offering seat reservations for Passholders on UK trains.Sorry for the inconvenience. More services will be added soon.Buying a Seat Reservation in the UK does not always assure an assigned seat. Instead, it will guarantee an available seat on the train.

I don't seem to be able to reserve seats. The app is buffering forever . Or at one point there was a reservation in the basket/cart but then a message appeared that I could no longer buy it, the offer had expired 

Hi there,I’m travelling with my family from Avignon to Lille on 28th August.We have to catch the Eurostar to London at 16.35. Do you think the 10.39 from Avignon is a good bet? It’s a Ouigo train (I’ve not been on one before, I know it’s not inc in the interrail ticket, we’re on single tickets).  I’ve read there is an issue if the Ouigo train is delayed and you miss your Eurostar connection then they don’t get you on the next train etc. Are they often delayed or generally good? There don’t seem to be many direct trains from Avignon to Lille (we’re actually staying in Maussane Les Alpilles). Thanks for any help. 

On Wednesday, sncf will publish their trains for the summer. Can I book on Interrail as well? Or is there a time lag? And is it true that Interrail only has a limited number of seats? Thanks :)

Hello, I am trying to book seats through Interrail, but unfortunately the website is not working or keeps showing errors. My trip will be long with many transfers, so I wanted to book using Interrail, but it is not possible. Does anyone know what to do in this situation? I am a little anxious about it because I planned to visit three countries and now the Interrail reservations are not working. Thank you in advance for any help. 

Looking for recommendations. We are traveling to Switzerland and France flying into Milan taking train to Switzerland for 1 week and then going to France for a week. Would a Eurail pass be the best choice and if so does it include the Glacier Express?Thank you!

I would like to make a reservation for the London Paddington to Penzance route, as described here: https://www.seat61.com/interrail-and-eurail-reservations.htm#how-to-make-reservations-in-britain. When I select ‘Make a reservation’, the mentioned pop-up with ‘Next’ appears for a fraction of a second, immediately followed by an error message. I have tested this on several browsers and also on mobile devices, and the result is the same everywhere. My pass has not yet been activated, but I don't think that should be the cause of the problem. How can I make my reservation? Any help would be appreciated.A few screenshots from a short screen video. The whole thing happens at top speed, with no chance of catching the Next button. 

I booked a Eurostar Plus seat reservation from Amsterdam => London => Amsterdam this coming weekend (outbound 13/3, return 15/5) with my 1st class Interrail pass. The return leg was cancelled without letting me know. Has anyone else experienced the same?Last night I checked in the Eurostar app and the return leg said “Cancelled”. I received no email or or SMS. No explanation. Nothing about a refund. On the Eurostar website (not the app) the return part of the journey has just disappeared. On the B-Europe site (where I booked it) the return part has disappeared without any mention.The train I booked on is still running. I can see it on the Eurostar website. A single 2nd class ticket is €198.On the B-Europe site I paid €45 for each direction. It now shows that it costs €67. There is no mention of a refund.I’ve had to book the night ferry for €150 (plus train on the NL side because it’s another day of travel) because I need to travel on that date.Anyone else experience the same?  

Hi, we wanted to book our tickets in advance but our passports needs renewing (currently in the process)We cannot book without valid passport, can the data be edited later?thank you!

We are planning a trip in May and want to book tickets from Krakow to Bratislava. The interail application does not seem to allow this. Is it because it is too far in advance or should we be using a different site

Hi, does anyone know how to actually reserve train seats on the train websites, not the Interrail/Eurail site? I’ve seen a few people say to do this, especially with night trains or when the seat reservation isn't available yet on the Interrail site. However, whenever I try to do this on the actual site, like Railjet, it says I need to book a ticket as well and doesn't give me the option to enter my rail pass and then pay for the seat.  Help anyone who's a 1st-time Interrail user?? Thank you!

Hola! En julio me voy a Grecia, he comprado el Pase pero no lo he activado aún dado que queda bastantes meses. He intentado reservar los asientos del ferry, pero no me deja. ¿Puede ser que sea porque es muy pronto?
