Train connections & reservations

Bonjour,  J’ai pris un pass pour 3 journées sur 1 mois en France. Je tente déjà de comprendre comment réserver les places pour les différents train et je m’aperçois que les prix sont différents entre le site eurail et l’application. Comment cela se fait ?  Est-il possible de tout réserver via l’appli ?  Merci d’avance pour aide. 

Hello, can I book seat reservations for my trip at any sites? So when I go to sweden, then making reservations at the site of VY? I made some reservations at the station, but I need some more. The reservation site from interrail is quite confusing and expensive.Thanks a lotEnni

Hi, the Eurail pass is making me crazy! Planning ahead of time our trip to the South of France and imposible to Reserve Seat you cannot click there! And we are afraid that we have all hotels in the south but since we see everything is so booked up and full because of the dates, that we stay with nothing! Please help me figure this out! Somewhere I read that in France you can only reserve an hour before the trip!? But if so, do you really think that because of summer trains get sold out? It is risky to loose our flight back to America… but at the same time I do not want to loose the money we paid for this stupid pass that there is no place to call and so hard to use! please help 🙏🏽thxs, Alma

Hello,I want to take the train from Hamburg to Kolding tomorrow at 12:53 at IC 394. When I add the ticket to “my trip”, they say that there is no reservation necessary. But when I look at the reservation plattform from interrail, they say that seat reservations are necessary. So what is right? Is the reservation actually included or not? Thanks,Enni

Hello,From August 15th I will be traveling through Europe for the first time. I now have some questions about seat reservations. On August 15th, we want to travel from Almelo to Berlin. I want to book a seat reservations on the train of 14:45. I can add the reservation to my cart, fill in the traveller details and review my order, but at the last step of the booking I get the error ‘One of the legs of your journey is not available anymore. Please try searching for another connection’. When I try to book the same train at Bahn.de is seems to be possible. Also when booking at Interrail it costs € 16 (two persons and booking fee) and at Bahn.de it only costs € 9. This seems strange to me. My question: can I book via Bahn.de without any problems? I have exactly the same problem/error with a reservation from Wien Meidling to Utrecht Centraal. However when I try to book the train via oebb.at there are seats available. Somewhere on the journey we want to book a ticket on a night train from Bu

Beste medereizigers, Ik sta op het punt om een interrail-kaart aan te schaffen, die ik over ongeveer 10 dagen in gebruik wil nemen. Ik heb de reis al uitgestippeld. Kan dit? Komt het voor dat de trein vol is, of alle gereserveerde stoelen weg zijn?In dat geval, heb ik een probleem, ik ben niet flexibel hierin. Jehart  

We are trying to get to Rome, Italy from Visp, Switzerland on July 2nd. Thanks to this community, I found the workaround on OEBB.AT and I can book the leg from Milano to Rome, but it won’t let me book the section from Visp to Milano. It keeps on saying “Ticket not Available”.  We have the Eurail ticket (ignore the German).  Even when I remove the Eurail discount, it still shows the ticket as not being available. Yet, when I look on ItaliaRail, I can book that segment. Why is that train not available for booking on OEBB.AT? (or anywhere outside of SBB or Italia Rail)? View when trying to book on OEBB.AT Same results when trying to book the full price ticket You can book it on Italia Rail

Dear Travellers, I am planning to travel from Basel to Utrecht. I want to take the OBB, but on the site of OBB i only can book a seat reservation or a ticket. Is a seat reservation only allowed, since i already have a interrail global pass? Or do i have to pay a ticket anyways? Kind Regards

Hallo,My friends and I wanted to reserve the seats, however we have noticed that the time of the train departure on the app is different than this on the Internet (the Intercity one). What should we do in this situation?

Hello,I’m a first time user and am a little bit confused about the seat reservations. We have an unlimited pass for 30 days. I follow how to book day time trains, my confusion comes with night trains. Am I right to go to the individual train operator’s website and buy tickets (as if I didn’t have a pass at all) directly there?I ask because on the eurail.com website, when I search for a night train, there is no option to buy tickets in a sleeper cabin, only seat reservations. Please help!Chris 

Hi there, We are planning to travel to Spain in early July from the UK. Is the only way for us to book reservations before we arrive in Spain via phone or is there any other way?  Thanks:) 

I’m really scared because I haven’t been able to book a seat reservation from Paris to Amsterdam on the 8th of July. Does this mean we have to buy a full fare ticket?

Hello. When a trying set our travel plans, it shows NA for seat reservations. Does this mean there are no reservations available or that the price is undetermined.  We have the global pass. 

It seems to be impossible to make reservations for Scotrail trains. Glasgow-Oban and Inverness-Edinburgh through ACP Rail services and GWR both are not possible. From their website It seems that Scotrail automatically makes a reservation if you buy a ticket in advance. If that is the case the number of Interrail reservations will be very limited if any.Solutions?

Hello, fellow travellers!I need to book two seats for the train below (SNCF IC Night 5772 on Monday 4th July). I tried to book it on many sources and not a single one of them works. Eurail doesn´t show prices, SNCF webpage and Omio and Trainline are not able to book only seat or to apply a Interrail discount. Travel-b-europe webpage is unable to find Marseille Blancarde station (so it doesn´t show this train at all, since it´s not TGV). Have any of you got any reccomendation how to book this train? I´m getting pretty desperate at this moment.Thanks a lot for any answer! <3Marie 

Hello,I am planning to travel to Turkey from France in the beginning of July for a wedding. This is my first experience with Eurail so please bear with me if I am slow understanding things..Right now I am having problems making a reservation for a train (2 adults) from Budapest to Bucarest, where I cannot proceed to checkout because it’s too short-noticed for the tickets to be sent.The earliest I can book would be 15th of august and I would receive the tickets on August 5th, (and they ask 9€ for shipment).Obviously this is not an option for me, and I thought by making reservations 3 weeks in advance I would be over-safe, even with the 5 business days delay that’s been warned about elsewhere on the website :(How is this possible? Can anyone give me advice on how to book this ticket?Also as this is only part of the whole trip, I hope I won’t be having problems of this type for all reservations.Thanks a lot in advance.

My friends and I are travelling from Ljubljana to Split and have to get a 25 min train from Dobova to Zagreb on the way which requires a seat reservation but it is sold out. Will we be allowed to stand on the train for 25mins or will we be denied entry onto the train?

Hello everyone! This summer I am going to take a train between Amsterdam and Berlin. Seats reservations are recommended but not mandatory. Therefore, I wondered what I was supposed to show in case of a control during the journey if I do not book a seat? Do I have to only show my pass? And am I allowed to sit wherever I want?Thank you very much for your answers !

Hello when I try to buy our tickets from Barcelona to Paris, it says I can't buy etickets, and they will send it to a postal address? How can I fix this?

Hi, mi name is Sofía. I’m from Argentina. I’m traveling to Europe from July 11th to August 5th and I’m struggling with seat reservations. My itinerary:From Madrid (12-13-14-15 of July) —> To Barcelona.From Barcelona (16-17-18-19 of July) —> To Paris.From Paris (20-21-22-23-24 of July) —> To London. From London (25-26-27-28 of July) —> To Amsterdam.From Amsterdam (29-30-31-1-2-3-4) —> To Madrid.We are traveling by train to each city and I can’t book reservations online. The page keeps telling me that I need to make seat reservations physically at each train station, but I’m worried that, once there, I won’t be able to get any because there won’t be any more seats available. How can I get sure that I’m going to have a seat? Is there an alternative option to make a reservation besides going to the train station presently? I’ll wait for your answer. Thanks,Sofía.

Liebe Leute,ich brauche Hilfe und finde sie nicht. Meine Lage:Ich habe für uns als fünfköpfige Familie einen Global Pass (mobil) gekauft. Wir wollen von Deutschland nach Frankreich und wieder zurück fahren, vier Reisetage in einem Monat.Problem 1: Unser erster Reisetag soll am 28.07.2022 sein, so steht es auch für alle fünf Familienmitglieder im Mobilpass. Nun sagt das System aber, wir hätten nur noch drei von vier Reisetage übrig, obwohl wir noch gar nicht gestartet sind.Problem 2: Ich möchte - wie von interrail.eu empfohlen - über diese interrail-Webseite Sitzplatzreservierungen im TGV buchen. Aber es tauchen immer wieder Fehlermeldungen wie “your pass is invalid for this date” auf, dann bekomme ich nur die Möglichkeit nur für drei statt fünf Personen zu reservieren (und das bei wirklich allen Strecken, da können ja nicht überall nur noch drei Sitzplätze übrig sein) und schließlich heißt es, die Preise seien gerade nicht verfügbar, ich solle es später noch einmal versuchen. Wenn ich
