Train connections & reservations

Hi !I would really like to go to Milan from Nice on the 19th of July. But I'm not really sure about the tickets, where do I have to get started ? I will travel with my brother, but we are not familiar with train tickets. Can you please help us to book the best possibility ? 

Hi!I'm going on an interrail trip with my family this summer. Part of this trip is the connection Prague-Zurich on August 7 (arrival on August 8). The planners says this train is running (EN 50466, departure 18:01, arrival 8:20), but it is not possible to make a reservation for beds. Not on this website, not on the Czech, Swiss of Austrian railway website. Does anyone have an idea how to book this train?Maarten

Hi! help pls so i’m planning to go to hamburg, i already made my reservation from Barcelona to Paris, and i have a 50 min time to make the connection. When i made this reservation (Barcelona-Paris) the guy in the ticket office told me he could only make that one, not the whole thing all the way to Germany. I was confident (i know now i was wrong) that i would be able to do it one day early. Im trying to make the reservation for Paris-Frankfurt and i cant, but i checked other days and I cant any day, it says“no price results were found for this connection. is it possible that the train is fully booked for pass holders…”but i checked on the DB website and they still have seats. i don’t know what to do, i have only 50 min in Paris and i’m afraid they won’t give me the seat. please help ):  (i also tried other dates and it always says that) (and i checked on interrap, BD, others and idk what to do should i just try when i get to paris?) 

Hi, I want to book a reservation from Paris to Frankfurt (the first train of my trip...) but when I go on the websites it says the prices are unavailable at the moment and I should try later. The weird thing is that when I connect with another navigator it shows me the price (13€) but an error occurs when I want to proceed to payment.Do you know if that means the train is full ? Can I buy a ticket in a station instead ? Thank you

We are reaching Chur via Bernina Express only at 6:20 pm in the evening.  When I look for tickets from Chur to Zurich for that evening - there seems to be only 2 trains left and they dont take reservations.  What if the trains are full and I am traveling with a party of 4?  How do i buy tickets to any other train from Chur to Zurich.Can you send me details of other regional trains or operators where I can buy ticket to Zurich using EU Rail pass?

I’m kind of stressed out because I can’t seem to be able to book the night train from Budapest to Timisoara. Or Split to Villach Hbf. Nor the train from Timisoara to Craiova.  i found alternative trains but now I am too late to order them or even send them to my hotels address as I leave in a month. What do I do?

Hi!I want to go from Barcelona to Bologna and the Railplanner app suggested the following route:9:10 Barcelona-Sants13:32 Valence TGV Rhone-Alpes Sud26 min Change trains13:58 Valence TGV15:39 Chambery Challes Les Eaux5 min (!!!) Change trains15:44 Chambery Challes Les Eaux18:15 Torino Porta Susa55 min Change trains19:10 Torino Porta Susa21:24 Bologna I realize this is a more than a 12 hour trip, but I have no problem with that. What I am concerned about is the 5 min change in Chambery Challes Les Eaux, is that even possible? Does you guys know if those trains leave from the same platform or how I could find that out beforehand?Also: There are “Seat reservations required” on the trains crossing the borders (30-35€ each) + the last trip Torino → Bologna (10€). Does that actually mean that you have to book reservations in advance? This far in my trip I have, but I haven’t been checked in all the reservation required-trains this far and was wondering if it really is necessary to pay for th

Hi I'm planning to do this this July, its a bit ambitious but it should be possible. I'm wondering if anyone has some advice as to how early I would need to book all these trains. (Also bearing in mind we're arriving in Paris on the le Fête National.) Thanks

I would like to book a train from Paris CDG airport to Lyon, however, the eurail reservation website says it is unavailable, and suggests for me to go on to the train station.  I also tried to book on SNCB, it is unable to do so. I would like to avoid booking fees 2€, is it possible to try on any other websites? And based on experience, is the Paris to Lyon train crowded?

Hi!I’m trying to book sleeping compartments for my friends and I on the night train from Trondheim to Bodoe in Norway. But when I try to book the ticket, I can’t chose between the simple seats and the sleeping compartments. Does anyone know how I could book a sleeping compartment with an interrail discount ?Thank you in advance!

we are in Norway from 27.07-14.08 and have planned our trip with the app Rail Planner. Unfortunately we can't book any reservations under "https://www.interrail.eu/de/book-reservations" because it says that the tickets arrive too late at our place (Austria).How and when can we make the seat reservations?Thanks in advance for the support!

I know that it’s not possible to make Spanish reservations on the Interrail app and you have to make them in person at a train station in Spain (absolutely crazy!). I am planning to get to Spain on a Sunday, but want to take another train on the Monday, if I go the ticket office in the first station I arrive at in Spain, how likely is it that trains for the next day will be ‘sold out’? Or trains for 3 or 4 days later (especially the high-demand Madrid > Barcelona train)?  Thanks for any experiences/info.PS I am travelling in late October

I booked my reservation from Brussels to Barcelona and made the payment, but I got an email from you saying that, although you received the payment, due to technical glitch the reservation couldn't get through. I replied to the email choosing the option that you will rebook it for me. However, until now I cannot see the reservation neither on our app nor your website. Please help me! I cannot reach a human at EU Interrail. I have written them several times but they haven't responded yet... 

Hello, I am traveling to Europe in 2 weeks and for one of my trains in Italy I have a reservation booked from a specific station. However, due to a change of plans it would be a lot easier for me to hop on the train at a later station. Can I just hop on the train with the same reservation ticket I already purchased? After all it’s the same exact train just 2 or 3 stops after the one my ticket says. Any help would be greatly appreciated.  

Hi! → Have there been any updates on the night train from Thessaloniki to Belgrade? If no, what’s the best way to do so, and how long would it take? → Then, I want to go from Belgrade to Budapest, but I am also struggling… Does anyone know how?Thank you for your help!

I’m planning to make a trip from Italy to France and from France to Spain. One day of travel is giving me problem, moving from Bordeaux to Madrid. The Rail Planner notifies the need for reservation, but it seem that all the reservation seats are unavaible. The problem is that there is no alternative and going with regional train needs something like 38 hours and a radical change of the itinery. Can someone help for the reservation or suggest alternatives? Thanks

Hello! I need to book reservations (and they’re paper reservations so they need to ship them to me) for the Oslo-Bergen train (roundtrip) for the 2th August and the 4th August 2022, but at the checkout the web site says i’m not going to recieve them in time, even if i change address selecting hotel’s addresses around Europe. How is it possible? There’s a workaround?

Hello guys, Is it always obligate to make a reservation in italy? Thanks for your answers.  

Hi travel friends, I’m planning to go travel to nice in a couple of days, and since i want to reserve the TGV, I need a pass holder number. Even though we contacted interrail quite a few times now, we did not get a response. We also tried calling CSNF, but american express cards were only allowed.  Could someone help up getting our pass cover number ASAP? :) Best, Julia & Tom  

Hi!I am looking into buying the global pass and am looking up train times. On some trips I am looking at, I see that it says it takes upwards of 8 hours to change trains. In that time, am I just chilling at a platform or is there a place I can stay? Thanks!

For exceedingly convoluted reasons my group has a eurostar ticked booked for my interail pass which, due to changes in schedule, I won’t be able to use but another man who’s on the trip will be able to use it. Will he be able to use my booking at the station? If not would it be possible to transfer the booking to him?

Hello! For the past few days I've been trying to make a reservation for a train from France to Spain, for late July. I am not able to click the button ‘continue to travel details”. It’s grey and I can’t buy the tickets. I’ve tried making a reservation on the website of the train, but they told me that if I want to make a reservation for a train from one country to another I can do it only on Eurail websait. Is this a problem with the website itself, or am I doing something wrong?Thank you:) 

I'm trying to make a reservation from Hendaye to Amsterdam. I’ve been having trouble reserving for Paris Nord to Amsterdam. Prices were unavailable for a couple of days and now it says "No 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." Can someone help me with this? It sounds ridiculous that seats are available but you’d need to still buy a full ticket when you already bought Interrail.I’ve been trying to reach a human support from Interrail, but the chat bots are broken as well. After asking for my name they either get an error or stop replying at all.
