Train connections & reservations

Hi all! I am trying to book the sleeper from Bucharest to Halkali. I see that this is possible to do over the Romanian railway company website, but trying to do it from the interrail.eu website produces a message saying there are likely no tickets left for pass holders. This error message appears regardless of the date I select though, so is it even possible to book via the interrail website?  i just ask because I don’t want to pay more if it is possible to use the pass! thanks!

Is it possible to take a train which says seat reservation required without buying it if you just stand the whole journey?

Ciao a tutti, ho bisogno di un aiuto per prenotare il tragitto Lubiana - Budapest per il seguente treno.  Ho giàanche contattato le ferriovie austriache ma mi dicono che stanno riscontrando delle problematiche notevoli per le prenotazioni Interrail verso i paesi dell’Est Europa. Come posso fare?  Grazie Sara 

How can I get a refund on a booking? The site says just cancel your booking ... But it's not like it's always been true so far and I wanted to be sure

I booked multiple reservations on Saturday as part of a month long trip. The money left my bank account but I have not received a single email confirmation and the reservations are not showing on my account nearly 48 hours later. I need confirmation as I have hotels booked in multiple cities.

Booked my tickets an hour ago with my friends, they both received confirmation emails almost instantly whilst I got nothing. The money for the tickets has left my account despite not receiving anything in terms of confirmation. Anyone have any suggestions other than contacting customer service? Is this a common problem?

HiI have a global passI have booked seats into Inlandsbannen I cannot book tickets (Gallivere to Ostersund)  into the app (nor with internet).Is the présentation of the pass onboard with tickets enough?Best regards.

Hi! I have a nightjet reservation from Utrecht to Basel and planned to continue my journey to Milan. Now I see that it is easier to drive on to Zurich and from there to Milan.Is it even possible to adjust a reservation for the nightjet?

Hi, I am planning to go to Vienna from Salzburg, and when I have tried to add the journey on my Eurail Austria Pass there is "conditions apply" on the ticket.It is shown in Eurail app that the train is EC (Eurocity?) so maybe the warning is relevant to this... but in OBB app it seems the train is also Railjet Express train, which is, to my knowledge, domestic train in Austria. Someone knows what causes the warning in this line?

Hi fellow Travellers!!On the 1st of June me and my boyfriend are going on our first Interrail trip ever! So exciting!!MY QUESTION:______________We are planning on catching the nighttrain from Amsterdam Central (departure 22:34) to Prague (arrival 2nd of June 10:34), at least, that is what the Rail Planner app says is possible. But if I am looking at online timetables to book a sleep possibility in advance, I can't find this train anywhere. Does anyone know if this info is accurate?And do you have some basic NEED TO KNOW TIPS for the first time interrailing ever? THANK YOU SO MUCH! Maybe we see each other somewhere in Europe!!  

..and if so, how?Me and my girlfriend have Interrail passes and we are going from Florence to Venice tomorrow. Frecciarossa operated by Trenitalia. We made reservations and it clearly says that the tickets need to be printed and in "physical form", otherwise we could be fined. We have the PDF-files with the PNR and QR-code. Do we need to print the ticket and if so.. can we print it at central station in Florence? Thankful for your answers.

Hi all,I am planning a trip to France and visiting Paris and St. Malo. I am planning my route in August from Germany over Paris, staying a few days there and then to St. Malo. It’s impossible for me to add St. Malo as a destination; I can’t figure out how to get my trains to St. Malo from Paris. (btw: Rennes works well). Any ideas or help how I can plan my trip to St. malo? Thank you in advance.

Hey there,me and my friends are doing our first Interrail Trip this year. We booked the reservations about one month ago. Before doing that, the friend who booked it added us to the trip and then booked the trains. My problem ist, that the others cant find the reservations in their account. So our “trips” are also empty. My question is; can we activate our pass with an “empty” trip? We have all reservations as an PDF file (one for each person), but not in the App.Do we still need to do something else, or can we just start our trip, after activating the pass with an empty trip?(Dont know if it matters, but we´ve got an Interrail Global Pass) Would be happy about any help :-)

So I am planning my first ever trip with the Eurostar soon and it seems quite more complicated than other trains. I wanted to ask you all, what do I have to do when I arrive at the Eurostar station? (Bruxelles-Midi in my case). Do I just walk to the platform and everything I have to do will be there? By the way, I have seen that I have to arrive very early at the station, I already have that planned. Thanks for help :)

My family's seat reservation from Vienna Central ends one stop too soon in Budapest before the one we will exit the train. Our reservation in 1st class ends in Kelenföld instead of Keleti, which is the next stop 20 min later.  Should I just keep the reservation and take the chance no one has the same seat reserved to the next stop or what do you recommend (Return for refund and rebook or other ideas)

Hi! I’m travelling through the Nordic countries this summer and I have some issus with booking seat reservation for a leg of the trip.I tried to book reservation  Narvik - Gallivare for the 15th of August (ideally the 3.10pm train) on interrail and vy but it seems that the trains are fully booked for a few days. I booked the Inlandsbanan from Gallivare on the 16th so I kind of really need to find a way to go there on the 15th…On interrail, the reservation goes through until last minute (‘review your order” page) where it says “Please try to find an alternative connection. The unavailable leg will be removed from your cart.”On vy the train show fully booked.Do you know if there’s another way to get a reservation? Or an alternate route/way to get there? Or should I continue checking the page in hope of someone cancelling their booking?Also, I saw that acprail still sells ticket at this time so I’m a bit confused (not only reservation through).Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi, I’m trying to get from Germany to Poland and tried booking online with https://www.bahn.de/ and checked the Eurail site and it says you need a paper ticket.I’m currently in Hamburg. Do I need to find a DB ticket office somewhere in Hamburg? If anyone knows where that might be, that would be great.Thanks

I’m going to make approximately 12 journeys with my euro rail pass in Italy.For some long journeys such as Lecce to Perugia I must pay a reservation fee of 12 Euros.My question is for short journeys say from Bari to Ostuni can I travel without paying a reservation fee?

Hi! I have a 10 day Global Pass and am trying to book my seat reservation from Paris to Barcelona on March 17, 2022. It appears my current option is only a paper pass (which wouldn’t arrive soon enough) so I will need to make this reservation at the Paris Gare de Lyon station. The issue is that I will not be able to get to the station until the morning of the 17th, only a few hours before the train to Barcelona is scheduled to depart. What is the likelihood that I will be able to secure a seat? Is it possible to secure day-of seat reservations?

Hi, my credit card was recently charged for three reservations which I never received (neither via email nor do they appear in the account of my ordered bookings). However, I wrote to their customer service address, but time passes by and I do not get a notice from Eurail. In my eyes, this is complete lack of professionality and actually a bit a fraud behavior. What is your experience with similar issues?

Me and my friends are interrailing at end of august beginning of september… And we traveling directly from Lesce Bled to Split catching the night train in Zagreb. I also know it is only posssible to book croatian trains at the station but i was wondering if we can do it from slovenia or another country close by since the train from slovenia only arrives at zagreb 3 hours before the night train departs and we would have only those hours to have seats.

Will my train journey from Wales to the Eurostar (both inward & outward) & onto Florence (overnight bus connection from Paris via Milan) be counted as one travel day? And is the bus connection considered as part of the same journey since the only alternative seems to be a train connection that involves an overnight wait of nearly 8 hours.

I did buy some paper ticket reservations for 4 persons next week for Spain, but I can’t use them. Is it possible to give them back? Would it be allowed to just give them to somebody else? If yes, is there a common forum for that?

Hi,I already have used the interrail ticket for several times, but this time I really have trouble getting reservations and now travel time is longer than expected. I know that I am late this time for reservations in the next two weeks in France, but the last time it worked for me. So, it would be nice to see if reservations are possible for my train connections before I buy a pass and then I could decide against it. Is this possible? GreetingsMartin

Hello, I got interrail global pass with 2nd class ticket and when I reserved seat St Pancreas London to Paris the booking office of Eurostar gave standard premier class in Eurostar. So will it be an issue? when I will be traveling.
