Train connections & reservations

Hi,I just exchanged my pass for a new pass and had a eurostar reservation for London → Amsterdam as my first train. This ticket still shows up in my account - I just wanted to check this reservation will still be valid with the new pass?Thanks

I have just bought Interrail passes for myself and son.  The first trip I selected on my pass was the outbound trip from UK to Amsterdam.  I now need to reserve seats on Eurostar.  I have no idea how to do this on Interrail site, and just seem to be going in circles.Do I have to reserve seat directly with Eurostar? Or can I reserve from Interrail site?confused, any help appreciated

Ik wil deze zomer van Tirano naar Venetie ik krijg echter te zien dat mijn pas dan niet geldig is. Klopt dit en wat is er eventueel wel mogelijk?

Hello, considering buying a 50% FLASH SALE: 2 months continuous.I plan to travel in October from Prague to Barcelona, go back to France and stay a month travelling in France and the other month in Italy. And want to answer three questionsHow much additional cost does it take to get to Barcelona if I need not use TGV and want to use the cheapest way possible? I didn‘t succeed with this alternative route in the planner https://www.interrail.eu/en/plan-your-trip/reservations/reservations-france, so could you confirm that this possibility is available? Is it possible to use regional trains in France without reservations. For example, from Toulouse to Montpelier, from Montpelier to Marseille, etc.? And how about travelling in Italy, from Genes to Florence, Rome, Naples, Venice, is there a way to travel without additional costs? And if not, how much it will usually be?

Hi ,we have a pass for five days,we want to cancel one train to change it for another one,so were wondering if we have to cancel all the five days or just the train that we want to change.And also we don't know how to make the reservation of our the seats . Thank you so much for your help.

Hi I’m trying to make my first resv (global pass) from london to amsterdam on june 8 for the 11:04 train but it says “Prices unavailable. 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. So all the pass holder seats are full?Do I just go ahead and pay extra (31GBP vs 39GBP) on b-europe? or wait and risk it to book it when i’m in london the 31 May?

Hi! I activated my mobile pass in the App and booked a ticket to Paris. Now I wanted to book a seat reservation with the interrail website but it is not working because I can't see my trip details. Did I do something wrong?

I’m getting this train in a few days and was wondering if anyone knows if it needs a reservation? It says on the app it doesn’t and I’m happy to take a longer train that doesn’t require a reservation 

Hello! Me and two friends bought the interrail pass, but today when we were trying to make the seat reservation for the OBB Nightjet NJ236 there were no seats available (June 11th at 10PM). It is still possible to reserve seats for this train? The other alternatives are not direct and the seats are also unavailable

I live in Sweden. Let's say I take a train from Hamburg which departs before midnight and arrives in Stockholm the following day. Can I use my inbound journey to change trains in Stockholm if I put Hamburg to (hometown) in the app?

Hi Everyone,I unfortunately have 2 interrail pass numbers for my little family of 5 as a result we cannot book our train seats together… very very disappointing. I have already reached out via email but due to the volume of queries you are experiencing this issue has not been resolved. Could you please assist me.Thank you,Jenny O’Donnell

I would like to know if a train from Strasbourg/Italy existed with the interail pass?

Hello. I need assistance with our passes. I purchased a mobile version of tickets for myself, husband and kid. I have downloaded the app and found the routes and times of preference. We purchased 1st class. I want to book our seats, but the app confuses me…I thought I could buy them on the app, but it’s saying to book on the website itself of the train company. Can someone please break it down for me so that I know exactly what to do? Thanks 

Hi! I have a Global Flexi Pass and have made a reservation for a Snälltaget night train from Hamburg (23:59) to Stockholm (14:19). Although this is a direct train and I ordered my reservation as such, the ticket I received includes a change of carriage in Malmö (where some carriages are swapped for others). Does this count as a transfer for my pass?I hope it doesn't, as I planned to only use one travel day for this journey (the day of departure from Hamburg). An official transfer past midnight would require me to spend an extra Interrail day, which I do not have available.

HiI’m a bit  confused about the best way to manage reservations for two of us travelling together. It seems there are two ways to manage a multi-person trip so that reservations are made together (so we can sit together): either by adding both travellers/passes to an account on the interrail web site or by adding both travellers/passes to the app on one mobile device.I understand that these two options are not connected, so it’s one or the other. Which option should I choose? Are there advantages to using the app option, eg we can make reservations together and have the reservation on the phone (without having to print out)? ThanksLee

I’ve managed to reserve first seat from London to Paris. I’ve since been trying for 3 Evenings to reserve seats for 2nd journey from Paris to Bern. It either keeps telling me gateway error or it just keeps circling ?? Any ideas . I still need to reserve more . I really wouldn’t be happy travelling without reservations so at least I know I have a seat !! Any help and guidance would be appreciated Thanks

So I’m planning my route and for some trains in Spain and Portugal it’s coming up with n/a for seat reservations. What does this mean?   

I bought a pass for italy i looked up de trains in the rail planner, the train i want to take needs a seat reservation but when i go to de other site to make this reservations, i cant see this trains. It looks also like every train is already booked. I wanted to book the train on 15:10. How can i make a seat reservation for this train? I hope someone can help me.   

As I am now in FRance and travelled yesterday and then overnight to the south a few points to clarify due to recent topics raised. These are from trying out on the long-distance (purple) machines to see how it works and what is available. These machines work the same all over FRance. There are also blue machines for local tickets only without any REServation and the like.It takes a fairly long way but it is possible to make REServations as passholder (differntiated between IR and EU and for both 1st or 2nd). Set up trip, probably for ´later/other station´ then there follows a very long list of types of pax (age, help needed for handicap, etc.) and then a page for ´reductions´ (I always use the French text-you can set them to /en/ and mostly also /de/). Click on MORE/autres there comes the Ir/EU option etc.It will take a few seconds but then appears an overview on date/time chosen for connections and prices to pay. To my utter amazement sometimes it even showed 2 connecting TGV for 10€

I’m just considering buying an Interrail for me and my son for a 10-day trip from the UK into France and Spain. Last time I had an Interrail was 30 years ago - all paper-based, and very very few reservation fees!If we want a train journey with a connection (for example Granada to San Sebastian, which has at least 1 and maybe 2 or 3 connections) - do you have to make and pay for a reservation for every single ‘leg’ of the journey? For a journey with 2 connections, that would be E10 + E2 Interrail reservation fee on the app.. x 2 ‘legs’ = E24 just for reservations, per person? Is that correct?I have even read that you can’t actually book reservations on the Interrail app for Spanish trains, is that correct? So how would you do it - only in person at the station? It all sounds like a nightmare, possibly not worth it!!Thanks for any info!

After much searching, I have finally come to understand how miserable it is to try to use a Eurail pass in France.  This was not the case last time I used the pass many years ago.  I now have 2 first class passes, and I cannot seem to make any reservations for any French trains.  Eurail claims that they can do it, but everything comes up “price not available” even months in advance.  DBahn also has the same issue.  B-Europe says it can’t find any trains.  My first leg is 05/27 from Paris to Bayeux (small town in Normandy).  There are multiple trains per day going that route, and there’s no way they’re all booked at this point. I have $70 worth of long distance charges trying to call SNCF (didn’t expect that from my phone plan!).  I wait on hold for 15 minutes, and the automated system says something very fast in French and hangs up on me.  Great use of time/money!  I’m completely fed up with this whole process.  I’m about ready to cancel the stupid pass, rent a car, and drive everywher

Hi! I am traveling using a global Eurail pass this summer for France, Italy, and Spain. I have a mobile pass and have paid for seat reservations on trains from Bordeaux to Paris and Florence to Rome. In the emails for our bookings they say we need to print out copies of our tickets, even though we have the mobile pass. Why is this the case and what will actually be needed when we board the train? The email says this: “Remember, you’ll need physical copies of your reservations to show the conductor on board the train, along with your eurail Pass. Showing this email won’t be enough, so make sure you keep your print-outs somewhere safe.” I just don’t understand why we’d need paper copies if we already have a mobile pass??? We’re also trying to find trains from Paris to Barcelona but now realize you must have a paper pass that is mailed. How realistic is it that we could book a train a few days in advance from Paris to Barcelona at a station in Spain in person when we get there? 

Digging through the posts about Portugal reservations, I understand that I won’t be able to make my reservation until I am actually there. However, I am concerned about actually being able to get seats on a popular train route (Faro-Lisbon) for the dates that I want to travel. It’s all over the eurail website to reserve ASAP because clearly summer is a busy time. I won’t be in portugal until 4 days before I want to take the train (in July). I think I have read somewhere that Portugal does not have the same restrictions as France, etc, on the number of eurail passholder seats per train - can someone confirm this or help point me towards more information? Thanks! Also, is anyone else disappointed in the Eurail program for southern europe? I ended up just buying tickets for Spain individually and am going to just leave travel days unused because I was watching trains fill up before my eyes (for dates months out), because I had no way to book reservations and didn’t want to mess up destina

Hi!  I’m thinking of buying an interrail card; however, i am not sure whether there are seats for the train i want to. If i search through the Interrail website, are all the trains I see available for reservation? Or will there be some shown that have already been fully booked?   Thanks in advance!  Best,Kaya
