Train connections & reservations

Looking at a few future journeys in Interrail web train times planner. I have just seen some journeys with a 1max, 1 change message.I am sure it should be obvious but what does 1 max mean?

Dear community, I hope you can help me with my question. I have a global pass and I am a German citizen. I am planning to take a night train from Zürich to Hamburg on September 22nd. The train starts at 19:59 in Zürich and will pass the German border way before midnight at 21:50 still on September 22nd. It arrives in Hamburg at 08:00 on September 23rd and I will need to take an additional train to my hometown from there.My question is: does the 22nd or 23rd count as my inbound journey day? Will I be able to take an additional train to my hometown after my arrival in Hamburg on the 23rd with my Interrail mobile pass? I am aware that I could split my travel into two legs if the train would cross the German border after midnight. However, this is not the case with this connection.I hope I made my question clear. Thanks a lot and best wishes!

HiI'm looking to book train tickets from Budapest to Munich. The DB website is cheaper than the obb website for the same railjet train. Anyone know if it's ok to buy the first class tickets on DB website and just buy business class upgrade on obb website using the seats only option? DB and MAV doesn't offer business class tickets…Thanks!

We booked outbound ICE Hamburg Cologne, then TGV. They took 6 Euros for one seat. Why? It doesn’t even say so on the pricelist?

My sister and I want to go from Warschau to Budapest. And at the time we had to choose the option with 2 changes in trains. Now we saw that our first train is a direct connection with budapest. We reserved seats on the train untill breclav…Can we prolong our reservation? This so we can stop in budapest instead of breclav. Our do we have to get out at breclav?

the eurorail site continually says ' seat reservations unavailable' .  I have tried many dates and times .  Assistance please 

Buenas , como reservo los billetes de tren si aún no están las fechas disponibles de los trenes ??

Hello everyone, I hope you’re all doing well!Sooo, in a few days I will do a little surfing trip to Biarritz ( France ) from Germany ( Berlin ).I’ve just noticed that I only have 10 minutes to change the train at Bordeaux on the way back home.Since I have never used the train to travel I have some questions for this:1. Are the trains in France reliable to arrive on time?2. Can the staff on trains/train-stations speak English?3. What happens if I miss the train? I know that I am supposed to take the next one but it is mandatory to reserve seats on french trains. Can I just take the next train without reserving a seat? Do I need reserve/pay for a seat on the next train? What if the next train is fully booked?4. Same question as 3, but referred to the following train since I will miss that one too (Paris to Germany).The trains from Paris to Germany ( Frankfurt/Köln/Mannheim ) seem to be fully booked for that day. I am just worried that I won’t be able to get on the next train if i miss mi

Hi,Is it possible to book a seat reservation through the Hungarian railway website? Or are there any other options for booking it in advance? Thanks

My family of 4 (incl 2 teens) are taking the train across borders in Western Europe for the first time in November.  So far, a couple of the journeys we’re researching indicate that 1 or 2 train changes are needed. Some of the routes indicate that we have just 15 mins to change trains at a certain station.  These include :(i) Munich - Lucerne (8 or 12 mins at Zurich)(ii) Lucerne - Dijon (14 or 16mins at Mulhouse Ville) Qn 1 : What is a good buffer we should give ourselves to change trains ? Qn 2 : When encountering such routes, what are the alternatives without prolonging the journey too much ?Qn 3 : What is the most important thing to do (to keep to our schedule closely) if there is a missed connection using (i) the EURail pass, or (ii) single journey ticket ?  Thank you.

Hi everyone!I'm trying to plan a trip from paris to switzerland for 4 days. We'll go to geneve first then to interlaken and jungfrau. Would you recommend the global pass or the swiss travel pass? And do i need to pay extra on top of the global pass when travelling from paris to geneve? Would appreciate all the help. Thanks!

I have first class global pass tickets so when I need a seat reservation they offer me both 1st and 2nd class reservation prices.  So, if I choose the cheaper 2nd class reserved seat I am effectivly bumped out of first class even though my ticket/pass is 1st class.  Is that the way it works ? 

no puedo reservar mis asientos ayudenme viajo el 28 de agosto!

If a train route requires seat reservations, do I have to purchase 2 seat reservations (one for the outbound and one for inbound)? Or does 1 seat reservation cover the entire journey?

I have downloaded the interrail app more than three months ago and have my trips etc in order. Do I have to download a newer version of the app to get a more recent planner (timetable), or do I lose all I have downloaded so far if I do? I will be leaving a few dans from now (Maybe a dumb question but I am slightly older...)

Hi, Me and my friend are travelling together and want to book the same train as each other. However, the timetable from Budapest to Krakow shows up differently on our phones to each other. How can we resolve this? Does anyone know?? 

Hi everyone,  I have a number of seat reservations booked through ÖBB.  I have email confirmations with links to mobile tickets and I have the ÖBB app.  Is there a way to store these reservations on the app rather than going through the email link each time (which then displays the tickets via the app, it’s all rather weird!).  Thanks in advance…

I was looking for some trains from Berlin to Copenhagen and I was planning to take the one of today at 21.38…On the app said that I need the reservation of the seat but when I go on the eurail website to do the reservation it said that is not required Do you which one is the right one?

Hello My friend and i were looking at going from Zagreb to Belgrade and then to Sofia, but our problem is That we cant find belgrade in our Eurail app, so we cant see any trains, How come?-Ellen and Oline

We are trying very hard to make our Renfe / AVE reservations for our ‘Spain cityhopping trip’ on time, which is rather complicated as most people here know, so if all else fails we will be forced to try making our reservations very last-minute, AT the Renfe / AVE stations.So these questions are basically about this worst case scenario: -How last-minute can we make reservations AT the departure stations? At least 48 hours in advance? 24 hours in advance? 1 hour in advance?-Can we -for example- reserve seats between Madrid and Bilbao when we are in the -for example- Seville RENFE station? Or can we only reserve trips starting from Seville from there? -In hindsight: As we have planned only 5 trips (Seville - Granada | Granada - Madrid | Madrid - Bilbao | Bilbao - Zaragoza | Zaragoza - Girona) wouldn’t we have been better off with a Renfe pass for international travellers? Would this have saved us all the reservation hassle that we got ‘for free’ with our One Country Passes Spain, as Renfe

Hallo All,I will be travelling from Munich to Salzburg via BRB train using the 9 euro ticket this August 2022.I just wanna ask if I need to buy another ticket going back from Salzburg to Munich? Or  is the 9 euro ticket also valid from Salzburg going back to Munich via BRB (RE5) train?I saw a thread that says going to Salzburg using the 9 euro ticket is valid but what about going back to Munich?Thanks in advance for the reply.

I have already saved an outbound journey on my Trips and I can see the ticket on the section “My pass”. When trying to save a second journey (not outbound nor inbound), I can see it on My Trips but not on My pass. How can I retrieve the ticket ? 

Hi, I have booked/paid for the sleeper service from Budapest to Zurich on 8th October at 20:40.  The OBB app now says “no cabins available for this train”….can I assume this just mean they’re sold out or, more worrying, there’s no cabins on this train?

Why are all the reservations booked? I even checked the reservations in november and they were too. Is it possible that there is something wrong with the website?

Hi!I'm trying to make a reservation for a train but it is not possible to pay. I can put it in the cart but i can't checkout. It's like that for a few days now and it's a bit problematic if i can't make a reservation.Thank you for your answers!
