Solved

Hi, I'm having great difficulty booking seats on two French trains on August 7th. the site tells me they are sold out but apparently all the dates between now and October are sold out which seems very strange to me. in addition, the normal ticket can be purchased without problems from the snfc website. on the website https://www.raileurope.com/ it says that I can't buy the ticket with my pass, I don't understand why. For me it is essential to arrive in Barcelona on that day otherwise I will miss the whole trip, thank you very much in advance😭

We are trying to book a train from Interlaken to Rome. At one transition, (Domodossola) the site says “You need to buy a seat reservation to board”; however, there is not a place to purchase a seat. At the next stop (Milano Centrale), it says the same thing, but with an option to purchase. Does this mean the train at the Domodossola is sold out?  Also, it says BUS operated by Ferrovie dello stato SpA; does this mean an actual bus, or is it still a train (the other transfers say Regional Train).  Thank you. 

Hi everyone, I want to book my trip Frankfurt to Paris with DB ICE. It is an DB train and I dont need seat reservation when I try to buy from DB application. But, I dont understand why do I need seat reservation when I check it from Interrail website and it is asking me to reserve a seat. Does anyone know why do I see seat reservation in my trip?Thanks, 

Hello, I’m looking to book a train from Lille to Brussels and the cheapest option seems to be an intercity with a transfer in Tournai.The problem is it only shows me a transfer of 8 minutes and that seems quite short. I imagine this isn’t an unpopular route, so is it enough time with 1 suitcase?

Hi I was checking Amsterdam Centraal | A  brief station guide (seat61.com) , where it is written I can use Interail/Eurail QR code to go through gate pass. I want to utilize Interail pass for Amsterdam Centraal to Zaane Sachan trip via Sprinter.  Since this journey doesn't require a seat reservation, I would be going thru gates by Mobile Interail pass only. Now i have 3 passes in one mobile for 3 passengers. How other will scan the code if I will go through first with my mobile (and other two pass QR code in it) . Littel confusing. Could someone help here. TIA

Hi there! I’m reserving the seats for my trip from Switzerland to Venezia Mestre. I’m looking for which side to book for two of my trains, anyone has any recommendation or experience when taking the train? I also included the screenshot of the available seats illustration from the RailEurope (there are other coaches still available as well, but i’m not sure which direction will the train go, as the raileurope doesnt give an indication of that.. are both sides equally as good?):Bellinzona - Milano Central (free on choosing seats) Milano Centrale - Venezia Mestre this train cost 2 more euros to choose per seat, if i opt not to choose the seat, will the three of us be seated next to each other automatically?another question: I saw the next train does not require a reservation. Will this be safe considering i’m travelling on 26 July (peak summer)? Do you think it will be busy that we cannot get seats? 

Hello! I am new to Eurail and have been reading and using the app but am still quite confused!My husband and I purchased the Eurail global pass for our first trip to Switzerland and France.We’re trying to get from Geneva Airport to Wengen. I see differing information on whether Eurail covers the train from Geneva to Lauterbrunnen (from which we’d purchase the ticket up to Wengen), as well as whether we can use the Eurail pass to get from Geneva Airport to the main Geneva station or if we have to purchase a ticket for that too. Any advice is greatly appreciated!! Thank you so much!

Hey!I’m actually planning my trip right now and I wanted to ask something just to be sure. I’m planning to visit an Italian friend during my trip and I’ll be staying to her place in Padova. We’re planning to go to cities near hers. So I wanted to know if for example I go from Padova to Venice and in the same day go back to Padova it’ll still count as 1 day of traveling right?

I am planning a trip from Germany to Vienna for 2 nights and then on to Hungary for several nights. At some point on the way back I will travel from Hungary to Linz again for 2 nights and then on the way back to Germany. That's 6 days of travelling, right? So a global pass for 6 days? I live in Germany.

I am going to take a day trip from London to Stratford-upon-Avon. I am looking at round trip from London Euston Station to Stratford in July 2024. It is an express train to Birmingham then regular train to Stratford. On the Eurail app it says seat reservations needed. When I click on it says 1st class or 2nd class. I clicked 1st class and nothing happens. Is it too early for seat reservations? Do I need to look at another site?? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you. 

My family purchased the Eurail pass and we all added them to our phones. My mother in law started the booking of the trains on her phone and linked each pass to each persons eurail information/pass number. I have received email confirmations of bookings. How do I add these into my app? I would’ve assumed they would have immediately linked to my pass, but I cannot figure out how to get them on my app now.

Hi Everyone,I shall be travelling for the first time to Europe for work purposes and extended a bit for some personal travel. So I start on the 18th May 2024 morning from Geneva going to Paris. 2 nights stay in Paris and then I move to Lucern sometime around noon on the 20th of May3 nights in Lucern and then to Venice on 23rd Morning. 2 nights in Venice & then I fly backI am seeking guidance on the below :Should I opt for 4 day Eurail pass or 5 day pass ?When I book on the Eurail page, I start from Geneva. However the website shows my reservation as 1-night in Geneva & 1 night in Paris. Whereas I shall actually be staying for 2 nights in Paris ? If i activate my pass on 18th May morning, should I consider that 1-day pass will end at 23:59 hrs same day ? For local travel/sightseeing in Paris,Lucern & Venice can I use the Eurail pass in public transport ? Any additional suggestions regarding any particular trains to catch for this journeyI shall be extremely grateful if someo

Hello,I am finding the P&O website impossible to use. I want to cross the Channel on May 21. Directferries gives the time of the only departures available as 06:40 and 8:20, but my date and any other date I enter is labelled Sold out! This is clearly impossible, and so I am willing to arrive to Calais as early as I can by train from Lille, hoping to get a bus there from Calais Ville to the ferry port, or if necessary a taxi.Are there any later ferries? That would help.Is this doable? Thank you for your help,Brian. 

The website from Interrail shows my itinerary and also shows that no reservation is needed. However, my app on my mobile phone says that this route can not be found. What does it mean?Why is there this discrepancy? Thanks

Seat Reservation’s in Romania. Is it easy to book seat reservation’s for mobile pass holders at train stations in Romania?

We want to travel from Rotterdam to Bucharest, starting on July 15. Two adults and a child of 7 years old. We would like to take at least 1 nighttrain. We can travel via Berlin or via Vienna, both seem fine. However, anyway we look, we can only seem to make seat reservations in nighttrains. Both here on interrail, as for example with Deutsche Bahn or OBB. We really want to be able to sleep in these nightyets. That was part of the reason why we want to travel by train. We already checked: Outbound journey (bahn.de) Trip planner - ÖBB (oebb.at) Wien › BUCURESTI (oebbtickets.at)Can anyone give us advice on what to do? Thanks in advance! 😀

I am now trying to make reservations on 2 AVI trains and doing this from Montpellier in France :-  First train (AVI 9730) from Montpellier in France to Madrid- Second train /AVI4175) from Madrid to Santiago de CompostelaI have just been to the train station in Montpellier and expecting to be able to make the reservation here for at least the first of the 2 trains. However the answer was ‘no’ in the ticket office there suggesting me that I go to the RENFE website and make the reservation there. When doing that, I am also being told that this will not be possible and suggest that I go to the train station on the day& time of my preferred train and here try to find out with the train personnel, if any seats are still  or not, and if not take a train not having seat reservation requirements to as big station inside Spain, and then do the seat reservation(s) from these. My question is : Isn’t there another way to make such seat reservation on these AVI trains more smooth ? Kind regards.

I heard that the Brienz Lake boat tour from Interlaken is also covered in the Interrail pass. Do I need to reserve a seat/book? Is it usually in full capacity on summer? I’m thinking of taking the boat around 4 pm 

I bought a watch in Zurich (more than 300 chf) but I am leaving Europe from Paris, not Switzerland. My train to Paris is from Zurich HB tomorrow early morning. Do they have a tax refund place in Zurich HB? What is the process? How much time do I need for this purpose?
