Train connections & reservations

Hi, I’m trying to book a reservation for two journeys that we absolutely want to be on a specific train and be able to sit with our traveling companions.  I’ve gone to the Seat Reservations tab on eurail.com, and searched/selected the train(s) I want. The site (correctly) states that reservations are not required, but can be purchased anyway. The Total Amount is shown as USD $0 and the Add to Cart button is greyed out (presumably because there is no balance shown).When I select a different journey (as a test) that requires reservations, even if not for all legs, it has a “Show Prices/Hide Prices” twistie that allows me to select a reservation (see example below), but the desired journey above does not show this.  Am I doing something incorrectly? It looks like I can make a reservation on the Deutsche Bahn site.  Should I just do that instead?

Quick question,ill travel to London for 4 Days and found a nice connection. But on my way back it seems like every train from London to Brussel or Paris is fully booked with Interrail. Is there any chance that ill get my reservation on the 24.07 or is it normal that every Eurostar Train is booked. (I checked for Trains starting 22.07 - 10.08 and every single one is not available) thanks to your help

I had my paper ticket for a Paris-Barcelona reservation mailed to my friend’s place in Poland with my friend being the recipient as I won’t arrive there until July 21. The date of departure on the ticket is July 26. Yesterday, I checked the tracking and somebody at Eurail put my surname after my friend’s first name as the receiver, not his proper name as I entered it in the form. I absolutely 100% completed the form correctly. This is a silly mistake on Eurail’s behalf, but I’m concerned that because it is being sent registered mail, the postal company will not complete the delivery.  I emailed customer service and have not yet gotten a response.  What year is it? Why on earth is this mailed paper ticket a thing? Small mistakes like this can cause huge headaches. 

I can’t make reservations through eurail/interail. You can’t progress past “continue to traveller details”. The community suggests making them through individual websites but OBB etc say they aren’t available. How do I make reservations on the following trains/route (photo attached) 

Hi, which app would you use to check time table in Sweden and get to know which trains are delayed or canceled ?Thanks a lotCécile 

I have made seat reservations for 3 journeys.Payment for all has been taken from my account but I have only received the email reservations for 2 of the journeys. The reservation missing is for a journey to Perugia. How do I contact customer services to ask about this -is that what I should do now?is there a telephone number for customer services?I have a mobile interrail pass

I want to go from Munich to Budapest in a week and the app states that a seat reservation is required, on the other hand the official website says that a seat reservation is not necessary. Which information is correct?

Buenas tardes. El día 12 a las 14.45 llegamos a Barcelona y desde allí queremos llegar a Praga, pero necesitamos reservar desde Barcelona a Perpignan y en Renfe me dijeron que ya está completo. Por lo tanto no podemos hacer el resto de reservas que requería el viaje.Con la aplicación hemos probado la opción "reserva de asientos no requeridos" y nos sale un itinerario alternativo. Adjunto captura. ¿Es seguro que no necesitamos hacer reserva y que podemos subirnos sin problema a todos los trenes? Otra duda importante: ¿el viaje de ida y vuelta como se computa si vuelvo desde un punto distinto? Y si termino en Barcelona, ​​en lugar de Sevilla que es donde empiezo. Gracias

Hello hive mind!I am planning to take the night train from Bucurest Nord to Halkali. In the rail planner app, and on https://bileteinternationale.cfrcalatori.ro/, this train is shown as one train with no changes on the way. However when I tried to book the reservation at the DB travel center, I was told that I have to change two times on the way. Checking the time table (https://p.bdz.bg/www/p/t/ptev-mezhd-cfr-2022-lyato-3011.pdf) the trip is also shown with a changeover. Does anybody know which information in valid?Thanks in advance :)

Hello. I booked the train tickets with my friends at once. But I'm the only one who should change the travel schedule. Therefore, I would like to cancel my seat reservation. In this case, however, I have to cancel mine and my friends' tickets at once. Is there any way I can cancel only just my ticket, not my friends’ tickets.

Since the eurail pass covers RER SNCF only and not metro in Paris, looking online it says the Charles de Gaulle Étoile station is a part of RER line A but it says pass not covered? i’m obviously going wrong somewhere lol

Hi, I have a eurail mobile pass, I need eticket and not paper ticket.However, when I go to seat reservation and ready to make payment they say its a paper ticket.

Rail Planner app says my trip on Sunday 14 August from Vienna to Amsterdam Central is not required to book reservations. But when I want to book seats it says a part of the train trip can not be booked. Does this mean that seats are all booked or it can not be reserved?

Good evening,We would like to book seat reservations for the nighttrain on the 10th of August from Florence to Vienna. When we try to book it on the site of DB, we can’t add a discount card for Interrail. Does anyone know what we have to add?Thanks in advance!

Hi guys! I’m very stressed out cause Idk how to make a seat reservation online for  my trains in Spain and Portugal. It always says that seat reservations are required but not available on the Interrail website, so I have to book them in Spain and in Portugal.can’t I book them before online by calling or texting a station number? It seems risky to do it the same day.. what if there is no place left? I need to organise my trip in advance😭 thanks!

Hi, I’m thinking about travelling with a night train to Zurich from Utrecht, the only thing I’m worrying about is the fact that there are two trains leaving at the same time to the same destination. One of them is the night jet and the other one is just a IC. For the night jet you have to reserve a seat and for the IC it’s not obligated but how do I know which train is which or is it the same train? Thank you guys in advance:)

Hi, I have an Eticket and was wondering if anyone could help with me understanding how I can travel for free using my ticket instead of paying extra fees. I’m planning on travelling from London to Amsterdam but there are no options I can find that are free, they all require extra payment. I then tried to France then linking to Amsterdam to shorten the trip, but with the same result. kind regardsSam B

We used our 2 inbound/outbound days and I’m getting the “no outbound/inbound journeys left” note in the app. How can I use the remaining two days on my Interrail Global Flexi Pass? I’m traveling from Germany. Our pass has 4 days within 1 month.  thanks!

Hello! I need to take the Praha-Munchen EC360 on August 22nd. But on the DB navigator it says this train most likely will be delayed due to controls at the border and the issues with migrants (if google translate is not wrong).I have a commuting time of 1h15 at Munchen then. Do you think it's too short? Had anyone had any delay with this train before? Because the same message appear for all line connecting Praha to Munchen. This trip is part of my trip from Praha to Zurich.Thanks!   

Unable to book a seat reservation on the interrail website or through SNCF for the first Paris to Barcelona service tomorrow. Worst case scenario is it possible to stand on this train?

Hello! I've been trying to find 5 tickets from Goteborg/Malmo (both in Sweden) to Stockholm on the days Thursday 4th and Friday 5th, but it seems there aren't ANY trains available. Plus, it appears the message below while trying to book. I know it is too close to the date of the journey, but it feels odd to me the complete lack of journeys. Any ideas or clues? Thank you in advance 

I am taking the sleeper from oslo to bergen next week and made a reservation via Interrail reservation service. After receiving the reservation via postal service I saw that I received two compartments (each for one or two passengers). We are only two passengers traveling, so one compartment would be fine.I made a call to vy (norwegian railway) and they told me to write an email. After one week I got the response that they haven’t made the booking so I should reach to the place where I made it to get a refund.On the interrail page it says, that it takes long to respond and online I can only delete the whole booking instead of just one compartment. What would you recommend to do? - What way of reaching to interrail would you suggest?I somehow think that I can not cancel one compartment. I double checked the interrail reservation page and did not see an option to choose how many compartments should be booked (see image). I think it would be good if it would be possible on the reservation

Hi dear Interrail Community,I have a question regarding the seat Reservation. Does an not taken Reservation still take one Day off my interrail pass? Or does it only count as one Day of my pass if I really take the train?Thanks for your answers !Hanna  

We want to travel from Zagreb to Split on the 07:35 train on 2nd July. In the Interrail reservation tool it’s saying reservations are required, but it won’t let me make a reservation. I get the same message if I search for the same journey on different days and at different times. Does this mean all the seats are reserved on all the trains?! Or will I be able to reserve seats at Zagreb Station when we arrive a couple of days before? Thanks for your help. Below is the message I’m seeing:Prices unavailableNo price results were found for this connection. It is possible that all pass holder seats are sold out. Please try searching for another connection or check 'More information' and try other ways to book this seat reservation. If no pass holder seats are available anymore you need to buy a separate full fare ticket to board.

I want to go from Madrid to Toulouse. It says you can book a reservation by calling 72 hours before the train leaves until 24 hours before the train leaves. I will be stuck in Madrid if I can not get a reservation. How likely is it that I can book this train? Or will I get stuck even if I call 72 hours beforehand?
