Train connections & reservations

How do we buy a tgv reservation online with no need for a ticket? 

Hi! Tomorrow I’m starting my first Interrail trip! I have a few seat reservations that I have booked through the Interrail website a while back. But I have since exchanged my global pass for a new one.I noticed that on my ticket between Zürich and Como S. Giovanni my old pass number (ticket number) is printed. Can this cause problems with using that reservation? And are my other 3 reservation probably also connected to my previous pass number?I also noticed that my last name has been spelled wrong by one letter on two of my reservations. Have any of you experienced the conductors to be nitpicky about this?Kind regards,Herman

Hello,I am trying to book train tickets online and due to the apostrophe in my name it will not allow me. The apostrophe was fine on the mobile app, but when I go online to do seat reservations it says “special characters not allowed”.I have tried deleting the apostrophe from my name and using a space, but since my pass is linked to the name with the apostrophe it is unable to be found. In other post the only solution was that the Eurail team changes the name on my account to one without an apostrophe so please can you interact with my post so they are able to see this and fix my account as soon as possible.Best,Ryan

Good afternoonI would like to know information regarding reservations to be made on certain trips. I bought a 2-month pass (digital pass) that I only intend to use from the end of August (27th), so when do you recommend making reservations for night trains and mandatory reservations?Thanks, Maria Carolina Nunes

I have placed this order weeks ago and when I realized the problem, that I was missing legs of my trip to from Como to Zermatt and Zermatt to Paris, I notified them immediately via email. That was a month ago. I still have not heard anything and I travel in two days. I have requested a reset of my password because it says I have an account but I do not and I have not received a reset password email so I can set a new password so I can’t log in to view my reservations.  Can someone please help me with this? I don’t want to have to buy these tickets out of my own pocket when I have already paid for the pass!

Hi.I have 2 matters needing assistance:Is it possible to change a seat reservation to another time when I’ve already paid: and  How can I include additional travellers with my reservation, i.e. how can I make reservations on their behalf?Thanks again,Theresa

Hi there. I've got a some question about the app...My gf and I are currently on Interrail, and we are trying to get from Croatia to Bosnia. In the app you can't find the Sarajevo station, however on the website they say its possible?

Hi All,We have booked a very last minute Europe trip and I now see that I left it way too late for the Eurail passes and now I’m stressing!I paid for 2x global pass for 4 travel days. I’ve managed to get seats for a few of our legs, but there are 2 that have no seats available and I don’t know what to do. On the 14th of July we need to leave Paris and arrive in Amsterdam on the same dayOn the 16th of July we need to leave Amsterdam and go to London(Ideally the earliest train possible for both) When looking at reservations I just pressed the top result for the area as I’m not familiar with the many stations - could anyone suggest any stations that I might have some luck with? If we have to go further out to make it work then so be it!Thankyou :)

Hi, I’m new to the community! I’m planning to purchase a 15 day straight interrail pass. Should I buy the pass before I start making train reservations?

Je voyage cet été avec ma compagne en Novège. J'ai planifié tout le périple. Or, impossible de réserver des places. Après les avoir mis dans le panier, il est indiqué que j'ai des e-billets selon les trajets et des billets papiers sur les autres.Un message d'erreur m'indique :"Votre commande comporte un ou plusieurs billets papier. Selon nos calculs, votre commande n’arriverait pas à temps. Veuillez faire envoyer vos réservations à une autre adresse ou à votre hôtel en Europe. Vous pouvez également réserver directement dans une gare européenne."​Puis-je faire la réservation sur une borne à la SNCF ou plutôt à un guichet de la SNCF en France ? Car une fois sur place, il est possible qu'il n'y ait plus de place.Merci pour vos solutions.

Me and my friends were planning a trip to france(30th, July).We have the Global Interail pass and the only thing we need is a reseration on the TGV.The problem is that every train during the 28th and 30th July, has this:“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.”We also went to a side “https://travel.b-europe.com/Eurail-GE/en/booking-tgv”, but when we tried booking and entering our pass number, which was an option, it said“You have entered an invalid passholder number”. Our pass numbers are right! What can we do to get a seat reservation? lg Tom

I'm traveling between denmark, Norway and Sweden, and I'm in a wheelchair.I would like to know if I should take any precautions before each trip, or if the trains and platforms are wheelchair accessible.And if, buying in first class, I have a place to store the electric wheelchair, which is foldable

Hi, I am trying to book seat reservations for 2 different routes, but both routes give me 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.We are trying to go from Rotterdam to Paris and Interlaken to Cinque Terre on two separate days.I’ve tried looking on the other booking websites (under “more information”) and can’t get reservations there either. One option it said was to buy a seat reservation at a main station in Europe. What are the chances there will be a seat reservation available when booking at a main station? Also, what is considered a main station in Europe? Thank you!

Hi! My friend and I was planning to travel from Gothenburg C to Wien at 8.40 am tomorrow, we've already made a reservation for the connection between Hamburg and Wien which was compulsory at the time. Now we see that we also have to make a reservation between our connection from Copenhagen to Hamburg which WASN'T a the time time we made our first reservation and now that connection is fully booked. Do you have any possible solutions so that we don't miss our connecting train to Wien? Best regards

Hello there.Maybe a silly question but with a pass, do I still need to book tickets with the reservation system? Or is it only when booking a seat is required?  Normally, if a trip is showed on my online pass without seats to be booked, I can take the train, right?Thank you for your confirmation.Best,Quentin

Hey guys!In July I want to travel from East Germany to London with the global pass.I just wanted to reserve a seat in the Eurostar and in the process stumbled upon the travel conditions, which are: “"Traveler must be in possession of a valid Interrail Global Pass or Eurail Global Pass, which covers at least the country of departure and arrival. The fare is valid for a traveler in possession of an Interrail Global Pass or Eurail Global Pass, if part of the Eurostar journey takes place in the traveler's country of residence. Only holders of a 1st class pass are allowed to travel in 1st class Standard Premier.". Does the highlighted part mean, that I am not allowed to use the Eurostar with my ticket, because I’m from Germany? I really don’t get it, because for me that makes no sense AT ALL. There is no Eurostar journey which takes place in germany, so I don’t have another option, I need to take this one from Belgium. I am sooooo confused :D Thankful for any help! (For reference: I start m

Hi, I haven't buy my euro pass yet, just want to ask for the July 22nd LONDON-AMSTERDAM, I check Rail Planner APP they will show $35 or $50,  Does that mean for that day every train have availability to reserve the seat? or it doesn’t mean anything?I check https://www.b-europe.com/EN/Booking/Pass#TravelWish they show up no train is available to reserve the seats for July 22nd, only 24th. so I got confusing which one is true?I tried to search https://www.b-europe.com but can’t find Cologne/Berlin…..should I try another website?Which website I should use to check reservation availability before buy the pass?Thank you!

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
