Solved

Thanks in advance for always being helpful.   I have booked seat only reservations through DB and OBB directly for trains from Berlin to Prague,  Munich to Salzburg and Salzburg to Zurich.     Now I’m confused as to how to find our seats on these trains.   I have receipts but they don’t list seats.  Should they?   I need to activate my Eurail pass and then add the train to our tickets I believe but then what?  Any help with walking me through the process step by step would help ease this travel anxiety prone traveler!

Hi, I’m hoping to manage to get to Budapest next week from Istanbul. I’m about to buy the ticket to Bucharest and then will have about 90 minutes and I’ll need to board the sleeper to Budapest (I know, it’s ‘ambitious’). I’m trying to get to my family by train and need to book the Bucharest-Budapest connection in advance online and it’s pretty expensive. From there I’m hoping to get on the all-day train to Warsaw, but again, who knows if it’s possible with border crossings etc. Does anyone have experience with Bosphorus Express - does it arrive on time usually? Thanks a million!

Is that permitted to tavel on the eurostar twice in August then September? Please i need genuine answers as have children with me thanks!

Hey guys, I want to buy a Global Pass and let's assume I reside in Germany... that doesn't work, right? I can only enter and exit once. How am I supposed to travel from east to west and from south to north without going through Germany? And that for 2 months? Let's say I start from Germany to Poland, but then want to go to France, do I have to go to Italy first???? That would be total nonsense, wouldn't it?

Dear Community, maybe someone knows… So we need to reserve seats for the EC from Bern to Milan, at least within Italy. When I enter Domodossola-Milano, it is 3 passengers x 12eur = total 36eur. Makes sense ;)When I enter Bern-Milan (since we don’t want to change seats in the middle of the trip) the price is 135eur!! Does that then include the ride itself - we don’t need a SBB ticket to Domodossola? We have half-fare-card and junior card for the child travelling, I believe the ride Bern-Domodossola isn’t worth 99eur. I tried booking just the reservation Bern-Milan via oebb and sbb, neither offers this... Thank you so much!!

My train from Vienna to Venice leaves at around 6 am in the morning on the 7th of September. Will that train be affected by the derailment accident of the Swiss Gotthard Tunnel?Then name of my train is RJ 131 and I think its route is only Vienna to Venice, if I did my research correctly. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong and I'd love some clarity on my doubts!

I want to cancel my seat reservation because I changed plans. Is it possible ? (My reservation is tomorrow) 

How to change the language for the App from Germany to English? I cannot add the trip to the app. Route-Salzburg to Munich RJX64 17:00-18:40 I am going from Munich to Füssen but I cannot find the Fussen station on the app.

Hello!My mum and I are travelling through Europe this winter, starting in London and ending in Venice. We are spending christmas in Colmar, France and want to do some scenic railways for two/three days through Switzerland and then end in Venice. Are most of the scenic railways not covered by the Eurorail pass? Is it then worth getting the SwissTravel Pass? Does anyone have some recommendations on routes… All and any advice is appreciate

   Hello Thx for any help to the following, much appreciated.If a person has a first class Eurail Pass but the route has to be reserved and only 2nd class reservations are available, would that person have any chance of sitting in first class? [My wife heard your bags are more secure in first class?] We are first timers.       2) If a route is recommended to buy reservations but not required and they are no                       reservations available would that mean the Train is full or do they only sell a limited                 amount of reservations?          I live in a community with Ferries and they sell way too many reservations in peak                    season (cash grab).       Thx for any help.  Brian 

   HelloComplete newbie here thx for all info. For an Oct 1 departure I reserved a Train from Rome to Milan departing at 11:10am and Milan to Ventimiglia departing at 15:10, final destination is Nice. I booked the reservations using the Eurail website.On the Eurail App my 11:10am departing train doesn’t exist, their is a train departing at 10:50am but the train numbers don’t match. The Milan to Ventimiglia is the same departure time. To cover my butt (on the App) I tried to reserve the train departing at 10:50am but it says no reservations available. Argh!What do I need to do? I would imagine I need that 11:10am train I reserved on the website in my Eurail Pass? A reservation alone isn’t good enough from what I have read? You need a Eurail Pass ticket as well.Thx for any help.  Brian from Gibsons, B.C. Canada

The Intterail app explains that a supplement is required and that it is included in reservation. But when I go to make reservation there is no option to add supplement (unless I am missing something) and the reservation amount is not enough to include supplement. So is it really an option to pay the supplement through the app? And if not what is the best way to do this?

Hey, do you know if I can get on a long-distance train what is full and requires taking seats? In other words, if I don't have a seat, can I still get on and be on the ground?

Alguien que me diga cómo reservo asientos si tengo un pase impreso? 

We only have an online seat reservation and it’s unlikely that we’ll be able to get a paper copy before we board our train (in Spain). What will be the consequences for us when we show the ticket collector our reservations on our phone instead of paper? Eurail tells us they must be on paper but doesn’t say what will happen when we try and use the online ones. 

Hi,I was going to book a seat from Zurich to Milan for the evening of September 8. Due to the closure of the tunnel on this route, I cannot make a reservation. How can I make a seat reservation to Zurich and Milan or which route should I take?Thanks.

Hello, I am wanting to book the Bernina Express on the 25th September 2023 from Lugano to St Moritz, however it says it is unavailable. I understand there is a section of the railway that is closed. Can someone please clarify what is available? Is there still a panoramic option?Many thanks! 

Hi,I’m planning a trip from the UK to Italy and I was thinking to do London → Paris → Milan → Bologna but I can’t find any train on the 16th of December for Paris → Milan, the last day in which I can find a train is on the 9th of December.Does anyone know when they publish the rest of the timetable? It makes quite hard to plan and wait as I may need to go by flight instead if I can’t book a train and flights are getting expensive.It’s strange that Paris → Milan is the only route that I can’t book but everything else is there.Thanks

Good morning.I am completely new to Interrail and intend to purchase a Global / Mobile pass. I want to travel from my home in UK to Paris or Barcelona on the same day.Home to London St Pancras, and then London St Pancras to Paris or Barcelona, have to be booked separately. Will that arrangement still count both as only one travel day and my one allowed outward journey? I think that is the case but would value confirmation, or otherwise.I’d be doing the same in reverse on my return journey.Many thanks for any advice. Bob

I cannot book any reservations for trains from Budapest towards Istanbul. I am travelling in early Ocotober.Is this because I am trying to book them too far in advance

Hi everyone,I’m travelling with my elderly parents and noticed recently that trains from Zurich to Italy have changed route recently.Some of the trains now say reservation not required. I’m worried that we won’t be able to get a seat if you can’t reserve a seat on these trains. Is there a way to guarantee a seat on these trains? Please see below a screenshot for your reference. Also, the direct trains which say reservation required on the app then say on the reservation website that prices are unavailable- are these booked out?Thanks all!Waz

I’m having trouble booking seat reservations with my paper pass. The website takes me to a page where I have to choose which trip I'd like to book reservations for, so I made a trip, but I need to add travellers to the trip, and this is is where it goes wrong. I’m clicking ‘add a traveller’ which takes me to a page where I have to choose mobile or paper pass, so I choose the ‘paper pass’ option, and instead of taking me to a new page, it just takes me back to the page where I have to choose the trip. So basically it’s just a cycle.

Ich möchte an einem bestimmten Tag von München nach Paris fahren mit dem TGV.
