Solved

Hello,I need to change a seat reservation for one of our four travelers.  How do I modify one seat reservation and not the others?  Our daughter wants to travel to Florence a day earlier than the rest of us. Thank you!

I’ve been doing a lot of research but I just want to clarify all the steps but also ask questions. I haven’t purchased my eurail pass yet but I will soon as I am planning to travel in August. I plan to get 2 passes (both global x day passes). I’m traveling from Edinburgh to London. My mom is flying into London and meeting me there and we’ll travel over to Paris on a different date. I’ll be handling all the passes/tickets since it’s not my mom’s strong suit. My understanding is that I purchase my eurail passes first (I plan on purchasing from raileurope since it’s the cheapest). After that, I add the passes to my mobile eurail app?Obviously I don’t want to activate my passes yet since it’s only June and our first day of travel isn’t until August 2nd. Will adding the passes automatically activate my pass? How does pass activation for day of travel actually work? So for example. The first day of my trip is August 2nd from Edinburgh to London. I checked the eurail website and I need to pay

I am having difficulty making 1st Class seat reservation for 3 adults for IC 666 Rapallo to Milano Central Friday 23rd June at 11.41.I can purchase full price tickets but that defeats the purpose of the EURAIL Pass.Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 

Hi,I’m planning my trip as it shows below:Madrid - Barcelona Barcelona - Rome Rome - Paris Paris- StuttgartAs you see there should be 4 days of travel to these 5 destinations, yet the Itinerary Planner seems to be counting Madrid’s starting point as a day of travel. Am I wrong to think that the 4 days of travel in 1 month Pass (for $281) is just what I need? Why is the application telling me I need a minimum of 5 Travel Days in my pass?

I have a Eurail pass and am trying to determine the best way to make reservations. How is travel.b-europe different from Eurail.com reservations? In looking around travel.b-europe I see you can put in a seating preference which you cannot do on Eurail.com. I know it’s not guaranteed, but at least they ask. Does it matter which site I use for reservations? 

Hi, all:  We are two couples who will be doing our first Eurail trip for 23 days in September (1st class Global Pass).  We will be based in Oslo, Vienna and Bern for the most part but will take many day trips on trains from those cities.  We obviously would like to sit together, e.g. two seats here and two seats there.  When reservations are not required, should we get them if they are available and if we don’t get them or they are not available on a certain train, what are the chances of not getting a seat or being able to sit together; or, my biggest nightmare, having to stand in the aisle for the whole trip.  And a related question:  what is the easiest way to find out if a train has optional reservations?  I don’t think the European Rail Timetable shows this.We will be very grateful for any responses you can provide.

Hello! I would like to know if there is a possibility to book seat reservations on the same day of the departure from the train station rather than buying them online. My friends and I already booked seat reservations from Innsbruck to Rome but we don’t have them from Warsaw to Innsbruck because they were selling only paper tickets (the delivery time was too long). Thank you for your help in advance!

Hi! My question is about a specific train, which I’m hoping someone will be able to help me with.We’ve arranged an itinerary to and from Italy (using the Interrail website) which includes an overnight stop in Lausanne on the way out. When I first arranged the itinerary, there was a train shown on the website from Lausanne to Milan at 08:18, so I based the 2nd day of our itinerary around that train. Having subsequently checked on the Interrail website, this train is no longer shown, although it does appear on The SBB and Trenitalia websites, as well as the Trainline website. Is there a reason why the Interrail site is not showing it? Also, if the service is running, can we use our passes and if so, how do we go about booking seat reservations? Thanks in anticipation ,Andy

Alguien me puede hacer el favor de decirme si puedo reservar asientos desde la aplicación móvil y si tengo que activar el pase para poder realizarlas ?

Hi,I‘m planning my Interrail in France this Summer and I have some problems right know with finding a train on my last day back home to Germany.I’ve looked in several regions and even in Paris but I only find trains who start late in the afternoon or even in the evening which means I always need two travelling days and I have to wait in Germany at some point in the night several hours before the next train leaves and I reach my home early the next morning. I live in Reutlingen in South-West Germany.It’s kind of frustrating that I can’t find any trains who leaves in the morning, even with expensive seat reservations. Often the Interrail App just shows me one single train each day, even from big train stations…It seems that this problem is only on my last day when I need to cross the German border.Maybe I’ve missed something but I could really need some help why this is the case and how I can solve it.Thanks in advance!

My friend and I are from the Netherlands and we are on an Interrail trip to Venice, Vienna, Budapest and Prague. We bought a 5 travel days for a month Pass. We did a lot of research but this morning was the first time we saw something about Inbound and Outbund trips, is it still possible to visit all these destinations? 

Hi, I would like to know if the Eurail can be used for the water taxi / ferry from Venice St Lucia to the Venice Port where like the shops and stuff are.

I’m looking at reserving seats between Milano Centrale and Geneva however I can’t find any direct trains to reserve seats between the two cities. Even weirder, I can buy full price fares on Trenitalia and Trainline for a direct train. I’ve checked OBB, the Interrail seat reservation service website, not to much avail. Can anyone help? I understand that there is an option to take multiple trains between the two cities, but I just want to take the fastest, most straightforward route as I am a first time interrailer.

I am trying to plan a train trip for the following dates and locations.  I need help to ensure I can make advance seat reservations where needed and type of pass to purchase as well as estimated costs. July 31:  Depart Malaga, Spain to arrive Barcelona, SpainAug 01:  Depart Barcelona, Spain to arrive Montpellier, FranceAug 03:  Depart Montpellier, France to arrive Lyon, FranceAug 05:  Depart Lyon, France to arrive Paris, FranceAug 05:  Depart Paris, France to take Eurostar to arrive London, UKAug 06:  Depart London, UK to Edinburgh, Scotland Would appreciate any help in planning this trip 

Hello,on July 7, we will be travelling with a group of 30 people. We will go from Brussels to Zagreb, and are planning to go via Frankfurt and get the night train in Stuttgart. (Seat reservations for night train are booked.)My question is, do we need to book seat reservations for the ICE train from Brussels to Frankfurt? Because it says reservations are not required, but we are a big group and I am afraid that the train would be full if we have no seat reservations. The starting point of the ICE train is Brussels, so by definition the train would be empty when we would get on the train… But still wondering. (Maybe everyone else has seat reservations so that we cannot get on the train because all seats are reserved?)Thanks in advance!Paulien

Hi,I want to take the night train from Split to Zagreb on the 14th of August with my Eurail ticket, it says I need to book a seat reservation but when I go to the Eurail website to book the seat reservation it says they are not available to be booked. Can I just buy my seat reservation on the day or is it all sold out already? 

I have Eurail pass to be used in Italy and Switzerland June-July 2023 (already activated). I need to travel from Interlaken West - Interlaken.Ost - Lauterbrunnen - Murren and back a few days then to Spiez.I notice Eurail pass seems cannot be used Interlaken Ost-Lauterbrunnen-Murren legs.Are there any discounts for this rail/(cable car)travel with Eurail?Also, are there any discounts for Eurail pass holders for other Swiss alpine travel around Murren?

Hi, I am planning to travel on the TGV 9577 from Karlsruhe to Stuttgart. I know that for TGVs reservations are normally needed, and this would be the case if I was coming from France with the train. However, the Rail Planner app is telling me that no reservation would be required.  Is this true? Or is it better to just save the trouble and get a normal ICE train? Thank you for all the help in advance :)

Hello.We are finalizing our travel itinerary to Amsterdam, then the UK.  We propose to travel from Amsterdam to London via Thalys then Eurostar in the early fall of this year.  We have bought our mobile Global Flex Pass, and have started exploring our train options, although we have not downloaded the app or activated our pass. I have held off on making reservations as,the way I understand the Eurail policy on passes, we need to have our itinerary pretty much set as we will not get any refund on partially used and activated passes. While i understand that once we have our itinerary about set, we should make reservations on high-speed rail travel.  How long can I wait until I make reservations on these “fixed” journeys? We are about 80% set about this leg of the journey,and would prefer not to make too many modifications to the reservations.  How difficult is it to modify a reservation this far in advance on high-speed train journeys?  Are there “travel insurance” that would cover modif

I’m looking to travel from Zurich to Chur on 9/16/23 but all of the trains are showing that no reservations are available. Is that possible this far out? 

Hello everyone, I have a reservation from London St Pancras to Amsterdam (11:04, 7th August). Is there anything stopping me getting off in Brussels instead of Amsterdam?  Thank you in advance.

Hi there, I’m travelling pretty soon, going from London St. Pancras to Paris Nord and then getting a connection from Paris Est to Strasbourg on the same day. I will have about 40 mins to catch the train to Strasbourg, which (in theory) should be sufficient. As a reservation was required however, I am a little concerned about the options I would have, if the Eurostar was running late and I was to miss the connecting train. Will I be able to simply catch the next train or would I need to speak to the staff at the station first and validate my ticket for the next connection? If so, is the validation dependant on anything (e.g. seat availability for interrrail users? Would there be an additional charge for this?

I understand that when I activate my pass I use my first travel day. I need to add a journey to make a ticket. My question is that can  I change my journey during the day? If I for example go from Copenhagen to Hamburg and my next trip would be towards Berlin according the planned journey but I would like to change it to some other place. Is this possible?

Hi, I am trying to book Bologna to Innsbruck but get the message ‘No price results were found. Pass holder reservations may be sold out for this connection’  for all trains on the day I need. Does this mean I can still board without a reservation, or does it mean there are no more spaces available for interrail card holders? I need to travel on the day specified to make other connections. My other option is to pay for a regular ticket separately, which I see I am able to do direct with the train company, but this seems unfair as I have paid for an interrail card. Thank you, Teresa

HelloIs it possible to book a reservation seat on another way then the interrail website?We will take the  night train on September 13th from Ljubljana to Zürich. On the interrail website and the website of OBB (I guess this is the train company), it’s not possible… I’ve checked on other dates and this is the same for all dates, so I guess that the train isn’t fully booked?Does someone now another way to check it or to make a seat reservation?A lot of thanks in advance!
