Get ready to travel

I am trying to book a ticket to go from Berlin Hbf to Berclav on June 24, 2023 at 18:52 with the global interrail pass. It lets me activate the ticket but not reserve a seat. It tells me that there are no seats available, but that with every day. I have searched several different websites that also offer this train but it still doesn't work. The train is the one in the title. If anyone can help me or tell me how I can do it or alternatives (which I have not found either) it would be a great favor. Thanks

I want to book couchettes for 15 people travelling together.  I need to have the couchettes just for our group, so 5 people per 6 person couchette x 3.  Any help on how to do this would be wonderful.

HeyLast wee bit of planning and I’m trying to be calm but still not seeing the Italian trains I’d like for August up yet on the website planner (or app obv).They are on the Trenitalia site now for August so should I just keep checking weekly, I don’t know if any reservations are required yet, maybe the Verona → Milan leg?OBB only shows June so far and times are slightly different (and better)Is the answer just chill, it will all be fine?ThanksSarah  8:23 Venice M → Verona11:43 Verona → Milan14:20 Milan → Varenna  

I have 1 ticket already and just found out about the global pass, do I have to cancel and rebook or is there a way to combine? I don't want to loose our seats but can't find a way to check trains needed without having the pass first.

Hi, I am planning to travel from Tirano to St Moritz and will be taking the Bernia Express Train. I have a second-class pass for Eurail. The eurail app told me I have to buy a supplement. Do I have to purchase a seat reservation or supplement? My family doesn't plan on taking the panoramic train as we will be taking the glacier express the next day.also, will we be able to board the train without any reservation etc to sit in the regular carriages? We are afraid that there might not be any seats left if it is a popular route. We wouldn't want to stand for 2.5 hours.Thanks for the help! 

Booking our train from Bilbao to Madrid, however we are unable to make seat reservations on website or app. What is the alternative, is it best to go to the train station and enquire? 

Folks, Mightily impressed by the depth of knowledge here, and after careful reading, I have one unanswered question.  I have read the thread below, however my use case is a bit different.  As an NL resident, I shall be in Berlin for business in June.  I want to travel from Berlin to Warszawa, and spend a week in Poland, decompress, and explore the country. Then at the end of an all-too-short week, train from Warszawa back to Berlin.I want to reserve on the EIC 49 which is operated by PKP Intercity. Interrail site says, an Interrail one country pass is recognised by "PKP and local-government run companies: Koleje Dolnoslaskie and Przewozy Regionalne” PKP's website has for several days given me website errors, using any PC or network, and a few folks on this forum seem to be having the same issue.  What's my best course of action?  Do I need to visit a PKP ticket counter in Berlin Hbf, assuming there is one hidden behind the queues to the international ticket offices on level +1?  Phone

Hi guys, I need some help. I tried to reserve a seat for the amsterdam central-berlin hbf night train for 19/10. The interrail booking site told me that it was not possible to reserve a seat, even though a reservation was not required. I booked on bahn.com, even at a lower price, and had no problem booking a seat. Do you know the bahn.com site is reliable and is this reservation still valid?

Hi Community. I am travelling across Europe with my wife and 3 kids this summer and we are still trying to full understand the reservation and booking challenges. Thank you all so far for all the information been made available. I have however come up against a problem. We have been trying to book the reservation for travel from Copenhagen to Osnabrück to the 9th of July. When I tried with 5 though OBB is didn’t work but for whatever reason it worked with 4+1 through separate bookings. However when I look at the ticket it only shows reservations for the Hamburg to Osnabrück part of the journey. Is there anyway to confirm if we actually have a booking for the 1st leg? Any ideas?Thanks in advance for any advice.Regards,David

Hi, is the interrail.eu seat reservation service down for maintenance? I have been trying to make reservations for two days, getting thrown out in the last step. 

Hi everyone, my first post. I am Interrailing this summer with my teenager. We have booked loads of our trains on Obb Austria. But we need to book some on Bahn.De and I cannot find how to add the interrail discount. We have first class tickets and using the Obb website gave us free reservations, but it only has limited German train details. Also the train times on Obb do not match up with Interrail, so I added them manually to the Interrail app - is this normally?Thanks for any help and advice.

I bought 5 passes. A total of four-section trains need to be booked, but the seat reservation for the one-section train was not available, so we booked and paid for the three-section train first. I'd like to reserve some seats for the remaining one section of the train, what should I do?

Hello. Is it possible to reserve seats online? We are told it is not and you have to present at a station. Furthermore, there seems to be limitations with forward booking, eg We cannot book Barcelona to Marseille until we arrive in Barcelona. Some of our stays are relatively short so this then creates a risk of not being able to get seats which then of course impacts our accommodation reservations. Are we missing something here?

If I have a one country IR pass for Germany but want to travel on an ICE starting over the border in Strasbourg do I need to buy a single ticket from Strasbourg to the border station, Kehl (regardless of the fact that the train doesn’t stop there) or is it necessary to buy a single from Strasbourg to the first station in Germany at which the train stops (Karlsruhe)? All help appreciated!

A lot of my trains require reservations. But we have no idea which train we will take. It will depend on what we wind up doing that day. But it says you have to make a reservation 3 hours in advance and they are not refundable. A lot of our journeys offer trains every hour or every 30 mins but still require a reservation. So how can we be flexible if we must make a non refundable reservation? Can I just walk up a few mins before and still get a reservation on the next train or do I really have to book it in advance and lock us into a specific time?

The train currently says full on the eurorail booking site, however after checking the company’s website there is still room on the train. Does eurorail ever add more seats that eurorail passes can reserve leading up to the travel day?

Hi,I plan to take the train 9 times (on a 18 days trip) but I’ve seen that for 3 times I’ll have to pay my seat. Consequently, should I buy a Pass for 7 or 10 days ?Thank you :)

Hi,I am planning to travel around Southern Spain next month.  It seems quite limited or are there not many train lines in that part of Spain?For example - To go from Malaga to Alicante, would I have to go nearly to Madrid and back down?Please can you tell me does the Interrail map shows all possible routes or is there another map with more lines available?Thank you   

Tried to book London to Paris on May 24 - could not find a reservation. Had to change to May 23 but arriving in Paris at 11:00pm. Any suggestions on how we can find a trip on May 24th and if we do, can we change our current seat reservations from the 23rd to the 24th?

Do i have to pay for the train if i’m going to reservate or is the interrail tickets the total price? or do there become a lot of extre costs?

My DOB year is incorrect. How do I change that?

Hi, I booked a trip from Florence to Cinque Terre (Monterosso) for August with Frecciarossa. There is a connecting train we have to take at Pisa Centrale but they did not let us reserve our seats and will need to find a vacant unreserved seat. I am wondering if there is a seating chart link I can see where there are vacant unreserved seats in advance.  I will be traveling with my family (wife & 2 kids) so I want to make we do not lose each other if we are in different cars.  Thanks

Hello, is it possible to use the global eurail pass with the mobile pass in Switzerland?Thank you

Does anyone know which Eurail Planner App to download for some who is currently live in China, but not using iPhone?I understand that after you purchased Eurail Pass, you will receive the email with links to download the planner app. The options are:  “App Store” (for iPhone), “Google Play” (for other phone than iPhone).However, for people live in China, but not using iPhone, what should they do?  The can NOT access google in China.

I have a global pass and was able to make a reservation from London to Paris. For Paris - Zurich (June 10th 7.20 am), though it shows seats are available on the eurail website, when I got to checkout, it says one of the legs is unavailable. I saw another post that said reservations were possible only till Basel, so I tried that as well. In fact, I tried removing one station at a time until it was only Paris - Belfort, but even that didnt work. Any suggestions would be helpful.thanks,sri
