Train connections & reservations

I changed my mobile eurail pass, do i lose the reservation i made with the old pass?

Hi all,  Our family is going to be travelling on the eurostar and tgv on two separate trips in December and January. I love the idea of the eurail pass but I can't find reservations for the journeys I need through the site. When I go to make a reservation through eurostar it is obviously much more expensive.  I would like to purchase a pass but only if I can see the reservation I require before I purchase.  Any advice / further info?  ThanksDan

The following is a reply to @Angelo‘s post at the bottom of the thread, which it took a great deal of mental strength for me to copy/paste elsewhere and thus preserve the sanctity and cleanliness of that most vital resource 😅I suspect a fair few people would already have known about this development, but it needs to be heard loudly enough that as few 1st class passholders as possible find themselves disappointed; particularly given that this information hasn’t been updated on all parts of the Interrail website (https://www.interrail.eu/en/plan-your-trip/reservations/reservation-fees/international-train-reservation-fees).---Definitely not topical (*sorry!*), but I have to say for the sake of consumer advice, that I’m glad now this booking fell through, because I then tried to book via Thalys’ own call centre. I found out that they have now stealthily removed the quota system that allowed a certain number of 1st class passholders into the excellent Premium class (with Paris & Brusse

Today I arrived in Madrid with the plan to continue on an ALVIA train to Santiago de Compostela tomorrow. I had called Renfe to make a pre-reservation by phone yesterday, and today, at the station in Madrid, I wanted to pay for and pick up my reservation.  Unfortunately I ran into a problem. The Renfe officer at the counter could find my reservation alright (using the reservation number starting with L followed by numbers). But since the reservation was on Elige Confort (apparently equivalent to first class on this train) and I have a second class Interrail pass, he said there was no way I could use this reservation. There was apparently also no way for me to pay a surcharge to the ticket. This was possible for me on my Renfe-SNCF ride from. Marseille to Madrid (there were only first class tickets left but I was happy to pay extra to get on the train).My question is, if its really not possible to buy a first class ticket on a Renfe ALVIA train when there are no other tickets left and I

Hi,I’m planning to go to Austria (Salzburg-Hallstatt-Innsbruck-Vienna) after this Christmas. So, I would like to know thatIs it necessary to book the reservation during that time (29 Dec - 3 Jan)?I have a Czech resident permit and my partner is Thai without any European permit (he has only the Schengen). Can he use the internal or eurial?Thanks

I purchased seat reservations on the Avignon Barcelona Service for 21 October. These were ordered and confirmed by Eurail who said paper tickets would be posted out. I paid £70. The tickets have never been sent. There is no phone number for Eurail. Repeated emails have been ignored. We are now left with no reservations for this train but have seats on trains just before and after. I am very disappointed with this service and especially the fact that Eurail just can’t be contacted. 

Does anybody have information regarding a Transport National Strike in France starting Oct. 17 and running through Oct. 23?We have only seen it on one website (https://worldinparis.com/transport-in-france-strike-news-tips-for-traveling-to-paris) and nowhere else.Would that impact trains and flights from France? We are scheduled to fly from Bordeaux for Barcelona on Oct. 17 on Ryanair.I looked at trains as a potential plan, but most of them are sold out according to Trainline - with one available also using a bus to go from Narbonne to Barcelona.Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.

Hello everyone!I am writing to kindly ask you a question (anyone aswering will be much appreciated). I re-booked the seats as my prior order went wrong (apparently when I first tried there was a technical issue with Italian trains), this time I received the tickets in my email but I can't see the order in the Reservations Overview page in my Interrail account, is that normal?.Moreover, does anyone know when I’ll approximately receive the refund for the first order? I did write an e-mail to the custumer service, they read it  but never responded.Thanks in advance for you help and you kindness. Hope you have a nice day   

hi guys, im trying to book seat reservations for a few trains - 10th Dec 2022: EC 52 from Milan Centrale to Spiez 14th Dec 2022: TGV Lyria from Basel to Parisbut there are no results shown on the Eurail app. It says that they don’t have train times for these dates yet as they are waiting for a timetable update. Any idea how long that will take or where else can i book my reservations other than the Eurail app?Thanks 

Anyone know if the Eurail pass is good for this train?  I can’t find the BAri airport station on the app but i’m looking to get 4 of us with Eurail passes there to rent a car and then back into the city after we drop off the car. Thanks,Jason

Hello, I hope you can help me.I booked the Interrail Global-Pass, because I wanna travel from Augsburg (DE) to Angouleme (FR) on the 2nd of November.My preferred choice would be the train from “Augsburg” 07:16 - 12:31 to “Paris Est” and then from “Paris Montparnasse” at 14:19 - 16:35 to “Angouleme”. The return is supposed to be on the 4th of November.Now the problem is that I can't buy a reservation on the Interrail website for the TGV to Paris because this error message appears:"Prices unavailable.No price results were found. Pass holder reservations may be sold out for this connection, but there are other ways to check for available seats—more info below our timetable."  At first I thought that simply this particular trip was fully booked, but even the furthest in the future TGV train (10/12/22) to Paris has this error message (I even tried different parameters, like starting point, date, time, etc.).I have also not been able to find any other website through which I could book only

Hello everyone,Me and my girlfriend will start our interrail on Monday. We are excited about it after made a lot of preparation. We have our stops and we booked already some trains but I have some questions because I did’t find a clear answer in the posts here in the forum. For Krakow → Budapest : we plan to take a night train. I found this website mentionned in a post: https://booking.polrail.com/ Do you recommend it to book a couchette?  For Ljubljana → Split, I have to make a change in Zagreb, so take a second train from Zagreb to Split.In Slovenia,  I did find any information to book the first train. For the second, I saw that there is no possibility to book trains in Croatia. It has to be done in the country. Can you confirm? For the rest, I found myself or it didn’t require a reservation. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,as far as the official Interrail map is showing a ferry to reach Helsinki from Staockholm has to go to Tallinn first before continuing to Helsinki resp train to Turku.Is this correct or is there an Interrail option to go from Stockholm to Turku or Helsinki directly (without Tallinn)?ThxJürgen

Hi everyone,I’m a bit confused. I bought a rail pass to travel next christmas and today, the 15th of october, there is still no train timetable available on interrail website further than the 10th of december.I’m afraid it will be too late. For example, the SNCF in France launched tickets for christmas holidays and most of the tickets on the main lines have been sold.I’m a bit disappointed and I’m thinking of asking for a refund for my pass and eventually buy a flight ticket I would have paid 100 euros less if I had bought it last month…Any advice ?

Just picked this up on Facebook forum.https://www.iamexpat.de/expat-info/german-expat-news/49-euro-ticket-coming-german-states-agree-9-euro-follow?fbclid=IwAR3JaG4cY-IWXs1Ev2cWSeuA3vh19d2cMMNzDIqoIcn-O49wQS65twHCMfg

Hello! I have a short transfer time of 4 minutes from Lugano (regional train) to Lugano (intercity train). Is it possible to transfer within that short period of time? Would greatly appreciate any help :-)

Hey hey, community! I was trying to find the way to travel from Ljubljana, Slovenia to Konstanz, Germany. I see in the phone app that it is necessary to book in advance the night train from Ljubljana to Muenchen… how is it possible to do it?Thanks a lot in advance!Warm greetings from Slovenia,Ausma

Hi All,I have tried to reserve a seat on a Berlin to Prague train (9.16am on 3rd January) however it says ‘we are unable to offer any reservations on the service you have chosen’. I am able to book seats at other times on the same day but not the 9.16 train. Does anyone know why this is?Thank you in advance for your help! 

Hi all,I’ve been recently doing a reservations blitz before I set off for my 15 travel days early next month.Most have gone smoothly, but I’m having a bit of trouble booking FA 8828 between Barletta (15:06) and Venezia S. Lucia for November 30th.Trenitalia are displaying and selling this train, but it doesn’t appear on the Interrail timetable or OEBB’s Scotty beyond November 4th. It’s a strange omission because both those apps are showing most long-distance and regional Italian trains for November 30th already.Am I right in thinking the 8828 will probably be added to the Rail Planner and/or OEBB with the next monthly update? If so, does anyone know when that update takes place; at the end of the month, perhaps?Many thanks for any pointers!

An important note about this train. It is frequently fully booked on the day and sometimes a few days before. The clerk at the international desk told us it was full on Friday Saturday and Sunday this weekend. Unfortunately it can’t be booked outside of Bulgaria so you must allow time to buy in person. You must have your passport with you when buying these reservations. A double sleeper costs the equivalent of 30 euros.Specialist agencies can help as they use local contacts to buy the tickets and deliver them to hotels or can even meet you in person but you have to pay for this level of service!

I’ve purchased a Eurail pass for travel beginning November 1, 2022 but I’m having trouble making a seat reservation from Barcelona to Paris, any suggestions?

Using the Interail website, I booked seat e-ticket seat reservations for Milan to Florence. The accompanying email said I needed to print the reservations but other things I've read suggest this isn't necessary. Which is it?

Hello! I booked a 15 day first class mobile Eurail pass which will be valid in late October when I arrive in Germany. That being said, I don’t have much of an itinerary -- I’ll be in Frankfurt and Cologne for a few days, but otherwise, I hope that I can be spontaneous to some extent. So -- How hard is it to schedule a train, day of travel, for a route like Frankfurt → Cologne, for example? Do I need to reserve ahead of time?If I want to go to the other countries serviced by Deutsche Bahn, like parts of Northern Italy and Austria via Munich, how do I go about scheduling that in the app?

eurostar london to anywhere. i only seem to be able to book about 45 days in advance via the interail website. I want to start my trip in early april 2023 so quite important to be able to get across channel first Many thanks in advance Martin
