Solved

I’d like to make the following trip but on this web site it says I have to break the trip down into 2 trips because I don’t need to reserve a seat on the first leg. Other sites seem to suggest that I can book the entire journey. My understanding is that if I book the entire journey and the first leg runs late, it’s up to the carrier to help me get a connecting train without penalty. But if I do as this site suggests and break the trip down into two legs and the first train runs late, then I lose my reservation cost on the second leg. Is my understanding correct? Should I book the trip on another site that allows the whole journey to be booked, or would it be safe to break it down?

I have been told that the sleeper for the Prague to Zurich is currently only available till mid Feb. I intend checking regularly until the 9/5/2024 booking is available, but in the meantime I want to make sure I choose the right train and right booking method. On an earlier question I was told “This can be booked at https://www.nightjet.com/ train number is EN 50466 Add Interrail/Eurail as discount for each passenger and search to get passholder fare. Cost for 2 in private sleeper is €116 or €156 for en-suite sleeper.” The one I want is the cost for 2 in an en-suite sleeper.So if I go to nightjet.com and enter a date in early Feb (to see how it works) I select adults and load my discount, it gives me the following options. Would the first one be the right one to make the desired bookingOn a subsequent question I was told “The sleeper can currently be booked until 18 February, on tickets.oebb.at and cd.cz”. So if I go to oebb.and search for the same dates and destinations, i get a diffe

Hey - We are off on a short 7 day trip Jan 1-9 and We are going from Paris to Amsterdam, Amsterdam to Bruge and Bruge to London - but I am so far only able to get a reservation for our Eurostar from Bruge to London Jan 5th. Question is - if there are no reservations for the fast trains - can one wait around the train station for a couple of hours with hopes to get on the trains - or will more reservations slowly appear?Should I keep checking back to see if reservations show up for some of our travel days or ask for a refund and book tickets normally?

Hi,I am travelling saturday morning (in 36 jours) from Lyon to Zürich and then have my intinerary planned. I just wanted to make sure I didn’t miss anything.So tomorrow I just have to go to the train station and find the train I saw on my interrail app and saved in « my trip » then simply hop on the train ? If someone talks to me on board, I just have to show them the QR code on the app for that trip since it’s marked that « seat reservations are optional » right? That’s it? Is there anything else I have to know or do? Do I need to print something ? All the trains I chose do not require seat reservation and I am planning to buy an external battery to make sure I always have my data for controls.

Quick question - Paris to Geneva 21st May '24 showing as bookable on SNCF site - but interrail (shows times but says - "Prices for this journey will start to be available 90 days before departure" - I just need a seat reservation.I guess this means the interrail allocation hasn't been made available yet.... is this correct? Thx Mike

Ich habe für eine stornierte Fahrt bei der Deutschen Bahn einen Gutscheincode bekommen. Kann ich diesen bei der Buchung eines interrail pass einlösen?

Hi, I want to book the Bernina Express from Tirano to Chur and one day later from Chur to Tirano. I've read that from Tirano to Chur (so from south to north) you best book seats on the left side and from Chur to Tirano (north to south) best on the right side. But… when I want to book, they are saying “No information on the driving direction is available.” so I have no clue what's the left or right side of the train. Now I was thinking maybe I'd best book one directions on one side of the train and the way back on the other side, so at least one way we will enjoy the best view, but this is of course only valid if the train does not turn around, which I actually highly doubt it does. Can someone confirm if the train turns around or not? Or does someone know which seat number are on which side of the train? Any other tips for booking the Bernina Express? Thanks!! Silke 

i was planning a trip to swiss alps, but my family is not skiing, so not worth it. Asking for help planning 10 days in europe.  i need an itinerary that allows us to see as much as we can in a short time.  flying in to one city and out of another to maximize places visited would be great. thanks 

Si un viaje comienza en un día natural y acaba en el siguiente, cuenta como un día de viaje o dos?Ejemplo: el viaje Estocolmo-Ámsterdam son 19 horas, de 6 de la mañana del día 1 a la 1 de la mañana del día 2, eso son 1 día de viaje o 2?

I am after a little help to make sure I don’t mess up making my first, and most complex booking. I have ordered, but not activated, a Eurail 1st class pass with 15 days travel over 2 months. The booking I want to make is:Prague to Zurich night train (the one via Austria)Departing May 9, arriving May 10, 2024I want to travel in the same compartment as my wife.I am unsure of the cost or options available.I’d like to have a private ensuite, toilet at least, if it’s not overly expensive.We’d prefer a two person compartment, without sharing with strangers, if that’s not too expensive.I would like some guidance as to which web site to use to make the booking, and ensure I chose the right train, the one via Austria.Also, how do I ascertain the costs of the various options?Thanks in advance for your guidance.

I’ve heard there is no direct way by train on the above route; however all the rail maps I’ve found online make it appear doableThanks

I have booked 4 interrail global passes and want to travel from Stockholm to Narvik on 2nd Jan.I’m struggling to book seats or a sleeper.  Interrail and rail Ninja show that there is availability but the SJ website show the trains are fully booked for the next few weeks. Every time I go to reserve the seats through the my internal booking, the prices show but it won’t let me proceed. I am also really unsure how many are in each berth. I want to ensure my family of 4 travel together. I’m really hoping someone might be able to help as I’ve spent ages and feel I’m going round in circles and getting nowhere! Many thanks

Can I just clear up the advice about the Glacier Express.I planned on taking the 08:20 EC train to Brig and then travelling on to Andermatt, From what I understand, the 10:18  (PE902) is the Glacier Express, which would require an (expensive) reservation. However the 8:20 EC would only give me a narrow window to make the connection.If I look at a Milan to Andermatt booking, it takes me from the 8:20 EC to R43 which leaves at 10:23. In an earlier post it was suggested that I book the 11:23 Brig to Andermatt, which is the R43. Should I be taking the PE902 or R43? What’s the difference?  

Hey everyone,I am just wondering if i am travelling through Switzerland for 7 days and Milan for 3daysIs europass a better option or Swiss pass?

Hiya! I am trying to get seat reservations for the night jet going from Rome to Munich on the 26th of December to surprise my friend but the only available seats are $300 USD when it says upwards of $16? I feel as though I am doing something wrong but I swear I have tried everything 

First time in the forum here,I tried to book night trains for our 2024 summer travel Yet, I don’t seem to be able to book the train from Vienna to Venice for June 23 2024. The calendar became greyed out after June 16 2024. I did read on the Eurail Night train page that the night train from Munich to Rome is not run from June 12th through August 9th, 2024. I see no blackout dates for the night train from Vienna to Venice, so not sure what happened. I was under the impression that the new train schedule was released on December 10, but does it mean we will have to wait a bit closer to 180 days for reserving the cabins?? Thank you
