Train connections & reservations

As a resident of the UK I appreciate an Interrail Global pass allows one day usage from the UK and one back. However as we live in the north that would entail an early start to London and then an afternoon Eurostar to Paris/Brussels. Although theoretically a further jump on an evening TGV or ICE could be achieved, that is not appealing. So we plan to utilise “cheap” flights to connect with continental rail points. It seems somewhat expensive with Eurostar and TGV booking fees.With a 10 day in 2 months first class pass we plan to split it into 2 trips.One flying to Catania, a couple of nights in Syracuse, train to Salerno, next day to Bologna for 2 nights, then through alps to Nuremberg for a few nights then back via Brussels.The second, 4 weeks later, is planned as flight to Nice for 2 nights in Monaco/Beausoleil, across to Venice for 2 nights, through the Alps to Vienna for a couple of days. Then on to Prague for a couple of nights before a flight home.Are these realistic itineraries?

Hi guys!We wanted to start on August 20 from Munich Hbf. to Paris Est, but seat reservation is only possible from France (Strasbourg). For the train from Munich, the message "It looks like parts of this journey can't be booked with us even though they require reservations." always appears. However, the train can also not be reserved via Deutsche Bahn, neither online nor at the counter. So do you not need a reservation for the TGV for the German section of the route? Thanks for your help!

trying to book a seat reservation on 6th of july from zurich to frauenfeld that takes 36 minutes. On the interrail app, it doesn’t say seat reservation is needed but when I am on the website and also when I check sbb.ch, it says “ seat reservation not possible”. Does anyone know what it means?Does it mean I don’t have to reserve a seat for that train?

Hi! My husband and I just bought the mobile eurail pass. Can our e-tickets be printed at the train stations across Europe or can they only be printed at home? We’re staying in Airbnb’s, so we don’t have access to at home printers. Thank you in advance for your advice :)

Hi everyone I am trying to make seat reservations for a train from Paris to Annecy on 30th July anytime after 12pm. It looks on the interrail.eu seat reservations site like there is availability on a number of trains leaving that afternoon. It lets me select the 1st class or 2nd class option, asks for my contact tel number and to confirm the details of the people travelling (pre-populated) and then takes me to a screen where I need to tick to accept the booking conditions (screen before payment). At this point it refreshes to say that “this leg of my journey is no longer available to book’ and that the leg will be removed from my basket. It doesn’t however remove it from my basket and also won’t let me edit and remove it! Thinking that there might be issues with the website, I tried to complete a booking through the other suggested route - the website B-Europe. Here I was able to select a train with availability but could not complete registering the passenger details as it asks for a

Hi fellow travellers!I was wondering how can I make a seat reservation with the mobile pass. I will travel from Budapest to Bucarest and from Bucarest to Sofia. Later on, I will go from Thessaloniki to Athens.The app says the reservation needs to be done in the website of Interrail, however, the page does not let me do that. An error pops up and says that our tickets won´t be on time. Now I´m dubious about how to do it.Reading other topics, I came up with the idea of making the reservation with the operator of each country. Is it possible?Any kind of help is appreciated! Thank you so much in advance! :)

Hi there,It’s the 1st of July and it looks like Renfe just completed its schedule for August at renfe.com.Some trains of our trip seem available (at least for regular -expensive- tickets, guess we’ll have to wait and see if there’ll be any seats left for Interrailers...), but Granada-Madrid simply changed from ‘not available yet’ to half ‘not available yet’ / half sold out (‘tren completo’), even for regular tickets...... just like that, for ALL trains and for the WHOLE month of August!Same at the trainline.com, raileurope and omio… How is this even possible? All pre-reservations? Does anyone have a clue? 

i have an issue making a train reservation, in the Rail planner app i can see a train that leaves Vienna on the 24th of july at 06:32 going to Venice. It says i need to make a reservation. When i go on the reservation website, this train time doesnt exist. The options that are on the website dont exist in the app either. So i dont know which one to trust because i have to make a reservation and also select a train for my travel day on the app. What should i do?

Hi!I'm currently planning to travel from Budapest to Prague on the 9th of July. The app says that a seat reservation is required, but when I open the website to make a seat reservation, I says that a reservation is not required. Which information is valid?Thank you for your help! 

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!

Hi everyone I need help.The website (InterRail EuRail) does not give the possibility to book a sleeper for the night on the train from Berlin to Paris. On the other hand, it gives the possibility to book second class.But when you don't log in to the site, you can book both second class and bed in 6-berth sleeper.Does anyone know how to get the bed in 6-berth sleeper on this train?Hopefully you are able to help.Alessandro.

My friend and I are currently traveling. I have planned all the train times and dates smoothly but now when I go to import it to her phone. The train times and dates do not show the correct ones and I am not able to find the same times. I already bought the seat reservations what can I do? because of this she doesn’t have the QR code for the conductor to scan

Every train to and from London via Paris is unavailable, yet there are seats on all of the trains????????  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. Is anyone else seeing this?  Is Eurail a scam???? 

If you buy passes for each of your family members do you combine them to book reservations for all at the same time? 

I have the mobile app and activated the trip.  I purchased reservations via the website and want to link my reservations to my app.  I have four family members traveling with me but I don’t see them in my app.  Do I need to give their passports as well and do I need to link my reservations to my app

I’m trying to get the seat reservations travelling from Madrid to Paris, but in the first train (Madrid-Barcelona) it tells me that I can’t get it in the interrail web, and reservation is compulsory, does anyone knows what I have to do? Also, in many other train travels it just tells me there is no information of reservations, so I don’t know if I have to get one somehow.

We cannot book tickets anymore via the interrail website because all trains are full, so we want to book trains in France via B-Europe instead. They say they need a pass cover number in order to make the booking, but we do not have this number because we have a mobile pass. Is it possible to create this pass cover number for our mobile pass?

I have a journey from Brussels to Salzburg via train and there is a transfer by foot at Munich station and the time for next train is after 15 minutes, my concern is that I have luggage along with my wife and 2 kids, will I be able to catch the next train and how would be the transfer of luggage can be managed, please guide. Arriving at MUENCHEN HBF (GermanyDeparting from MUENCHEN HBF GL.5-10 (Germany)

Some trains have 5 minutes between each other for me to leave the first one and hop on the second one. If my first train gets delayed there is a huge possibility I won’t make it to my 2nd one. Does that mean the money I paid for my reservation will just be worthless and I will have to buy another seat reservation for the next train? Or how does it work? 

I am trying to travel with a TGV train from Paris to Dax, but I can’t figure out if it is reservation only?
