Train connections & reservations

I’m hoping someone can help.Im in need of a paper pass cover - it’s an emergency as we weren’t notified we may need one to make bookings. We are trying to get from Paris to Nice on the 6th of July but aren’t able to make any online reservations.please help! 

Three of us need to travel from Marseilles to Paris on TGV next Thursday  but can’t seem to book through Eurail. Can anyone tell me how we do this using our passes?

Hi, I am trying to book a trainticket from Arnhem Centraal to Basel (17 july 22:02). I get the notification that prices are unavailable. What does this mean? With an interrail pass you can with this train right?  

I'm trying to make a seat reservation for the TGV 6035 from Paris Gare de Lyon to Nice Ville at 19:08-00:46 on 22/07. The Eurail website says that prices are unavailable for this train. If I try to book through travel.b-europe.com instead, there are still some available seats. However, in order to book my seat, the website requests a Pass Cover number in the "Ticket Details" section. Since I have a mobile Eurail pass, I do not have a Pass Cover number and am unable to complete the reservation.How can I receive a Pass Cover Number? Is there an alternative way to book a seat on this train?

Hi everybody. I am traveling to Paris this summer starting from Muchic. To get there I need to take seat reservations but that is not possible on the interrail website. I´ve been searching the internet for the last hour or two and i just couldn´t find a way to get the job done. I am traveling July 27th and I really would like to do the reservations now rather than later.Thank you for your help!! <3

Hey, as many as you know, it’s pretty hard to book a seat reservation in Spain/France, especially online. Well, even when you come across an available seat reservation, it always requires a paper pass. I was having the same problem a few days ago until I came across a reply to one of the questions on here. I was told to go to this site https://www.sncf.com/en/customer-service/contact-us/telephoneDial  00 33 1 84 94 3635, once they answer input #85 to listen to it in english. After a representative picks up the phone, you tell them what pass you have, what date you are planning on going etc, once they find a reservation for you, they will have you input your credit card details etc and once that is also done, you’ll receive an email regarding your reservation. I just booked Paris → Barcelona for €29.Let me know if you have any questions.

Hello,My friend and I are planning a trip to Venice and Milan very soon (from the 11th of June to the 15th of June). As it is in Italy, we have to book our seats. When we try to do so on the interrail website, it says “Prices temporarily unavailable. Check back in a few hours to see prices and book this seat reservation.”. So we also tried via the italian website but there is no way of enterring that we have an interrail global pass. Then we tried on the austrian website ÖBB but for every train we checked, it says “ticket not available”. I really don’t know what to do as nothing seems to work and the trip is supposed to happen very soon. Any help would be very appreciated :)Here is our plan :Geneva - Venice (11.06) 7:39 - 14:42Venice - Milan (13.06) 11:00 - 13:15Milan - Zürich (15.06) 11:10 - 14:27 Thank you very much! 

I have added my pass to my phone, if I book reservations and plan a trip on a laptop will they get synchronized to my Android phone?Or do I have to do everything on the phone now? It just looks easier on the laptop & website. Thanks for your help

I am trying to reserve some seats on the website but they won’t go through. If anyone has booked seats/beds on trains on these routes I would be grateful if you could let me know if you can book in person at the various stations.Bucharest to Vienna - Overnight trainZargreb to SplitParis to Tours Thanks in advance for your help.d :)

Hi , if a train is on the planner app but not on eurail online will that train still be going ahead ?

Hi,I’m wondering what happens if I book seat reservations for connecting trains and miss the second one due to the first one being delayed and it’s not the same operator. For example, I have booked a Eurostar train from Brussels to London and plan to go from London to Sheffield with East Midlands Railway directly after. If the Eurostar is delayed and I miss the second train, will I get refunded/get a new place reservation for the London-Sheffield route? And if anyone has travelled a similar route before, how big of a time margin do you think I should leave for the connection? Final question, it says that the Eurostar arrives at “St Pancras International” and the East Midlands Railway train departs from “St Pancras”. Are they the same station? (I’m from Sweden and I have a 1st class Global Interrail pass if that is necessary information) /Herman

I noticed that many trains don't require reservations, but at the same time many are saying to get a reservation just to be safe.  If I have a ticket thru the eurail app without a reservation (where no reservation is required), is it possible that no seat may be available for me because others have reserved all of them?

Hello, I have the problem that I can not currently buy seat reservations for my upcoming trip next week, explicitly it is about the relation Szczecin Glowny - Gdynia and Gdynia - Poznan (- Berlin). Now I have the problem that I can not buy seat reservations via the Interrail service, via PKP (the train provider) I can theoretically get Szczecin - Gdynia and Gdynia Poznan, but only with credit card which I do not have.So the following questions:1. can I somehow book through Interrail the above mentioned reservations?2. can I buy a reservation through the PKP service by bank transfer or similar ?Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Hi there, I have a train ticket for Paris Gare du Nord - Amsterdam Centraal on the 17th of July, 7:55 am. I've tried for over a month to reserve a seat, as it is mandatory, but was never able to book the reservation because the site was too laggy/buggy.  Today I tried again. And boom! The prices are unavailable and it says it might be due to the train being booked out. I've tried booking for other trains that day and even on the day before or after, to no avail. They all seem to be fully booked.  Anyone know what I can do? I've even tried going to my local train station, but they couldn't book the reservation for me. I've tried the SNCF website as well, but you can only book the full train tickets there. I'm freaking out, to be honest. My hotels are all non-refundable and it seems like I might have to cancel my trip because of this issue.

I purchased 4 reservations for 2 people for 2 legs of a journey from Lourdes, France to Barcelona, Spain 2 weeks ago.  I received an email from eurail confirming the purchase.  Attached to this email I received 2 reservations, that I printed, for 1 leg of the journey (from Toulouse to Narbonne).  For some reason they are MAILING the 2 other reservations (from Narbonne to Barcelona)and charging me for the postage, instead of just emailing them.  Eurail sent me an email on June 10th stating that the reservations are on the way and should be at my mailbox by 07-16-22, IN 5 WEEKS!  I'm not sure why in would take 5 weeks to get here, but the trouble is, WE'LL BE IN EUROPE BY THEN.  Is there another way of getting these reservations? Maybe at a train station? I emailed eurail this question 2 weeks ago and have received no reply to date. Thanks.Mark & Dana Carter

Hello! I bought my global passes yesterday but couldn’t make any reservations right away & now it’s not showing any seat reservation possibilities on August 1st, 23:51 train Ljubljana to Munich. If I look at RailEurope it’s showing it’s running/seats are available.  Any suggestions on how to book it?

Hi everybody,i'll take these trains, do you advise me to book seat reservation or not? and what will happen if I don't book and there will be no more seats?​​the trains are:Budapest-wien 12:40-15:21 6th AugustPrague-schwandorf 7:38-11:04 12th AugustThanks

Hi,I just purchased a Eurail Global 2 month pass.I am trying to travel from Paris to Luxembourg on Sunday 17th July, but am not able to make any reservations in the app (coming up as N/A), inOUI website, SNCB… I have read many guides online and even found the one created by this community - but it hasn’t helped for this particular route.I am feeling very lost - this is going to be my first train of my trip and I am feeling disheartened that it’s this hard!Wondering if someone is able to give me advice on how to book this journey! Thank you

I have been trying to make a required reservation on a train, but I keep getting this message: 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.It says "If no pass holder seats are available ...". Does this mean that there are only a certain number of seats allotted to Eurail Pass holders, even though there may still be seats available on the train?

Hi! My boyfriend and I are planning our big interrail trip but are getting stuck using the train planner that Interrail provides. When we try to find trains from Sofia to anywhere between Greece and Croatia there are no trains available even though there should be as seen in  the Interrail maps of possible train journeys. Until now we have only found some busses that could take us through these different countries, but of course our goal is to go by train if possible.Has anyone come by this issue as well? Has anyone found a solution?

I am trying to do seat reservations from Koln to Brussels. The B-Europe site (Belgium railways) shows seat available for full price tickets but none for Eurail Pass Holders. Can we still catch the train using the pass and hope that seats will be available?

This is my first time using the interrail (I have Interrail global pass.), so I’m a little bit new in this trains-world and I think I need your help, guys. I have read some posts where it is explained how to book the seats in differents websites, but I have tried to book the nightjet 469 from Paris to Salzburg on the 14th of July at 19:57 at oebb.at, and I couldn’t make it. As you can see in this picture, it says it is not possible.So I would like to ask you, if there is any other site where or how I can book this trip, because I tried also in bahn.de and it is not possible too :( Thank you,Héctor

does the train run on christmas holidays?

I tried to make a reservation the other day for four of us to travel from Amsterdam to Paris in mid July. After I paid $51 for this and made the reservation, I received tickets by email, but only for the part of the journey in France, from Lille to Paris. I think this may have something to do with how the different nations’ rail lines handle reservation, but I don’t know. Does anyone know why this is? If the other rail lines handle tickets differently, how do o get my hands on my reservations?
