Train connections & reservations

Hi, I’m in need of assistance. I bought a Eurail pass and was told to book my reservations for my Spain tickets at the ticket booth. However, I’m nervous that they will sell out before then. My trip break down is as follows:  Sevilla → Madrid on the 27th of August Madrid → Barcelone on the 29th of August Barcelona → Valence (France) so I can get to Marseille the 31st of August please let me know!!  

When I go for buying the reservations, interrail proposes me options that it's impossible to buy. How can I organise in advance my travel in this way, if I can't know before the trains I will be able to take or not?I think it is really a problem that false options are proposed when preparing the travel. I've gone to buy the tickets immediately after preparing the travel and a lot where not able to buy. 

I would like to refund my reservation for the NT 472 from Bucarest to Budapest - has anybody been successful in doing this before, and if so how would I go about it.I would also be happy to swap to the same journey on a different date, if that would be at all possible.Thanks!

Hi. Is the night/sleeper train from Madrid to Lisbon available again? Or is it still suspended?Are there other night train options? How about a sleep bus?Thanks.  

Hi, the page advertises for tickets that require no previous seat reservations, see here.When clicking on any of these ticket offers I get redirected to the global pass, which then says it requires seat reservations.Does anyone have encountered that question or went through an interrail ride without previous reservations?Thank you very much for answers :)

Hi everyone,I’m planning to travel from Kassel, Germany to Velje in Denmark soon and it will be my outbound trip from Germany.When I look up the trip via the Interrail app, it shows me a route with a 23 min train-transfer time in Hamburg. As I’ve had quite a bit of delay traveling with the Deutsche Bahn lately, I would like to take an earlier train to Hamburg. However, I cannot seem to be able to set up the desired transfer time in the interrail app so I’m wondering whether I could just book the two connections separately; that is, Kassel-Hamburg and then Hamburg Velje.While I suppose this should be possible, will both trains still be included as part of my outbound trip from Germany?

Hello! I’m having trouble reserving some trains throughout my trip, because it says it’s no available. For examen, a train from Prague to krakow on September 12 (ec 115) from 10.02 to 17.06 hoursI cannot book it online or on the appI’ve had this problem with other reservationsI cannot book it in the country of departure because it would be just a few days before and I am afraid there isn’t gonna me seats

I have purchased a global pass with my family. As the interrail.eu website was a mess during thepromotion, I ended up puchasing the pass through another reseller.On the interrail.eu website, is there now an option to make reservations? Their system does not recognize that I have a pass as I purchased it elsewhere.Is it possible to enter my pass info somehow? Do I now need to make reservations through the national systems that I saw described elsewhere on this forum? Thanks

Hi, I have booked reservation tickets from me and my souse. Now I want to book tickets from my kids but the system is not allowing me to book for them separately. Will I have to cancel my books and then book for all of them together? Or how can I book for them separately on the same train ?

Hi,I am trying to book several trips between England and France and within France. I select my train and then when I try to proceed to checkout I keep getting the error message shown on the screen shot attached. Please Help!Thanks,Jennifer

Hello, I’m planning to go to France (Lille-Lyon) and am curious if anyone has experience with the following: I’m comparing booking a seat reservation via the travel.b-europe website and via the interrail website, and I am particularly interested in the refund policy. I found this:Interrail website: cost of seat reservation: 12 euros, yet I did not find whether you could get a full refund when cancelling before departure. Travel.b-europe: cost of seat reservation: 20 euros, and it seems you could get full refund if you cancel before departure (so-called “High Flex” fare, yet there aren’t many details about it to be found, so I am not so sure about this one either).Could anyone confirm or correct the information I found, as it could be possible I will have to cancel this trip because of personal reasons, and that’s why I am searching for the most convenient ticket option. Thank you very much for your help!

I have been trying for several days and the website for seat reservations for first class ( I also tried second class) is not working. I guess only at train stations reservations can be made, this is what information from Deutsche Bahn said. Entur from Norway does not answer telephone, I tried twice and waited each time for more than 20 minits. Deutsche Bahn information was very helpful.

Hi in a couple of weeks im going interailing and to be safe have made all the appropriate seat reservations. However on one of them it says they expericed technical difficulties and i have been charged but havent recieved either the tickets that experinced no problems or a refund and am unknowing of what i should do.

I am trying to book the following and when you get to travellers details it bounces you back to the search section. I have tried booking each on their own, with the same problem. 

Hello,I am struggling to buy seat reservations. Every time I go to checkout, I am able to enter my billing details, but when I try to progress and I click “go to traveler details”, NOTHING HAPPENS. I have been trying for hours, and I have tried on my phone as well as my laptop, on wifi and on data, and still nothing happens. It just remains on the cart webpage. I am starting to get extremely sick of this. Please help if you can. Thanks!

we need immediate help! Since 10 days we wrote the interrail support an important request.We can‘t book the ferrys for our trip in September. We have the 4 day greek island pass and if I wann to book the first ferry, the screenshot in the attachment occures.We already booked three ferrys but we canceled them because we didn‘t reservate them in the correct row. We called the Attica group but they said you should fix the problem.We already booked all the hotels and the flight and if you don‘t respond soon it was all a waste. We beg you to help.

When attempting to complete a seat mobile app seat reservation from Naples-Venice 8:09 01/07/22 I am able to select the reservation I want and fill in billing address. However when pressing the fill in passenger details to get to the next step either nothing happens or it takes me back to the home page. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

It’s quite frustrating because I can’t press the “continue to traveler details” button. I have tried to book for only one trip after I read that usually that happens when you try to book several trips at once, but it’s still not working for me. Not loading, nothing. Any solution to this?notes: I have the Eurail Global Pass and traveling with 4 travelers

I received the confirmation email with the e-tickets for the journey except for one.  I have emailed Eurail and tried calling - no response.  How do I get a response from them?  This is very frustrating.  

why does my app say something different than the website 

Hello,my trip to denmark starts on monday. I tought i already have all the information and tickets required but now i am reading different things about the seat reservations in Denmark. The Interrail App says, that no reservations are required on the trains but some people here said that they are mandatory. What is correct? The train would be an IC between Odense and Kopenhagen at 5:56 Thank you very much in advance!

We want to travel on a direct train from Barcelona to Seville in Oct over but not clear how to book seat reservations with our Interrail 2nd class pass? Advice greatly appreciated.

Hey, I am travelling to paris from the Netherlands and I have 4 changes. For some of my trains I have to wait 2 hours, can I exit the trainstation (check out using my interrail pass)  visit the city and continue my journey as planned, without it being seem as seperate travel days? To sum it up, can you check out and back in, as much ad you'd like on 1 travel day?

Nicht nur hatte der ECB 84 von Rimini nach München am Freitag, dem 19.08, (Abfahrt 10.34) eine erhebliche Verspätung von 4 Stunden, auch waren dort jegliche Sitzplatzreservierungen ungültig. Deshalb ist meine Frage ob man denn das Geld für diese Sitzplatzreservierungen zurück erstattet bekommen kann und auch eine Entschädigung für die Verspätung erhalten kann?Darüber hinaus endete der Zug spontan in Rosenheim, weshalb es sich nicht um den ursprünglich geplanten  Direktzug handelte.

I'm traveling from Spain to the Netherlands and since many trains are fully booked, I've filtered by 'no reservations required'.This gave me the option of a night jet from Basel Sbb to Utrecht Centraal. When I tried to look up this train, it only showed URLs to making a reservation for seating/sleeping on the night jet. My question: does anyone have experience with NOT booking a seat on a night jet, and still being able to go on the train? Is it possible at all? And if not, why does my railplanner app show this option?
