Train connections & reservations

Once upon a time with an Interrail Pass one just entered where one was going and got on board. Total flexibility. But now everything is digital and limited and needs to be booked ahead and printed out….. I have bought a pass and wish to reserve a place from Brussels to Valence, from there to Barcelona, from there to Madrid. But despite going to the web page for ‘Book reservations’ I only get a red blob telling me that no Trips are entered; I have created a Trip entry but this repeats. The ‘timetable’ I fill in with date and time of planned journey does not then go dark to allow one to press a ‘Search’ or anything similar, just brings me back in a continuous loop to where I already was. This is frustrating. I see from other people’s comments that they, too, have difficulties with making a reservation. What should one do? 

I’d like to use a 2 month continuous pass to visit friends in Wien, Paris, Berlin, Normandy, Lubliana, and Albi and Florence. Can I retrace my steps multiple times over the 2 months, or do I have to make a complicated one way itinary?

Hello, I want to start my journey in Belgium and travel to Prague and than travel to Switserland and go back to Prague, is that possible? This would mean that my destination ends twice in Prague. Thank you!

Hey everybody. I use the Digital Pass and want to go from prague to vienna. I got a ticket for the rj 75. Time is 8:12 am. Now I looked up the updated Connection and the train go at 07:53.  My question is: Can I use the train ? Does the ticket inspectors Accept it?

Hi,I’m planning to travel through Italy with Interrail pass during summer and I’m wondering if these “Regionale Veloce” trains require a compulsory reservation. According to the Interrail timetable (see the picture), it does require a reservation, but according to other sources, Regionale and Regionale Veloce trains doesn’t require a reservation. Another interesting fact is that it doesn’t provide the price of the reservation, so I’m really confused.Thank you for your answer.

Hi,I must do a travel around the Central Europe.I start from Italy and as first stop I would like to travel by ferries from Ancona or Bari to Croatia.Is it possible this stop with Interrail pass? 

Hi there I'm a bit confused, so there's one price for a pass and then an extra price on top of that if the train requires seat reservations, right? But when I do my search on which stops I would like to make around Europe (Paris-Cannes-Nice-Genoa-Venice-Rimini), it ends up being cheaper to just buy the tickets, rather than having a pass? I'm confused... I don't wanna pay €30+ something just to have to pay for a reserved seat. Should I just buy tickets as I go? 

Hey,I am going to be starting my travel from Bologna/Italy. I was wondering if booking reservations for each train is a must. For example, If I were to go to Florence from Bologna which takes 25mins, would it be okay not to book a reservation? Or do I need to buy 1 for sure? Also, when I go on interrail’s app, it says for most of the train tickets, I must book a reservation. How can I know when I need to book a reservation? Can I just not get 1 for short trips?

We will be traveling from Vienna to Poland overnight tomorrow and need to make reservations. Our train gets to Vienna at nearly midnight tonight so I know that the ticket office will be closed. I tried to make reservations in Italy but they said they couldn’t do it. I realize the cars sell out but I have no way to do it early. Is there a way to make these reservations at a kiosk once we arrive? We have mobile global Eurail passesthank you 

My husband and I will be visiting Italy June 10-22. Is it too early to make seat reservations and get train tickets to the places we will be traveling?

Hey everyoneI think I have waited too long to buy the reservation for my train tomorrow from London to Paris. Now all it says on the website is “no prices availible”. Is there any way I can still get a reservation if I ask at the trainstation and try to book a reservation there? Has anyone been in the same situation? I am kind of desperate, please if you have any tips or ideas on how I could still get a reservation I would be very greatfull! Thanks, safe travels!

Night train from Amsterdam to Muenchen, seat reservation is not required, do you sugget me however to book a seat?

Hello, I have booked a reservation for two people on a train from Prague to Vienna, and I’ve received the ticket with only one of the names. It says ‘2 seats’, but one of the passengers’ name is not printed on it.is that normal? or shall I make another reservation? Thanks 

We have made several reservations for an upcoming interrail trip (consisting of several different legs) this summer, but the «proceed to payment»-button is inactive. Is this a common issue, and are there ways to solve it? Will this button become active at some point?We have accepted all terms, conditions etc.  

I am new to Eurail and the Rail Planner app. I bought Eurail passes for me and my husband online at eurail.com and downloaded the Rsil Planner app to my iPhone, which is running iOS 15.  I have added both eurail passes to the app and connected each of them to a trip, but I have not yet activated the eurail passes because I am not yet sure of the first date of travel.  l have been successful in searching for train ticket itineraries and adding them to My Trip. But I cannot use the app to make and purchase seat reservations on trains that require them. l have managed to use computer’s web browser to login to my account at eurail.com to buy reservations on a NightJet train that is critically important for our trip. An e-ticket was emailed with instructions to print it out on A4 paper, which is not available here in the US. But these reservations do not show up in the app anywhere that I can find.  When I try to make reservations using the app I have no way home to do it no matter where I

I’ve bought 2 Benelux pass. I cannot make a seat reservation from my home country to Amsterdam. It says “not available for some travellers”. What can I do ?

After buying your mobile Pass, I can see that you have up to 11 months to activate it to start travelling, however, can you make reservations before then?  I want to make reservations now for a month’s trip in August.  Is that possible? 

Hi there, I’m looking to book a one month interrail pass and am wondering if my journey from Scotland (my home country) to London and then onto the Eurostar to France would count as one outbound ticket and be included with the pass or if I would have to pay for a separate ticket to get from Scotland to London first ?  

I am planning a trip to Sweden and Norway. I did not find any trains on the interrailwebsite to cross the border. But on local websites there is a route with two trains and a bus connecting Bodo and Kiruna. Is the interrailpass valid on these trains? The first train from SJ NORD will take me from Bodo to Fauske station.The second train from VY NATTAG will take me from Narvik to Kiruna.Can I use the interrailpass or should i buy a separate ticket for these trains?   

My partner and I are wanting to go on the Glacier Express from Zermatt to St Moritz. How do we reserve seats for this? On the website it only shows full price even when I put the Eurrail/Intereail Pass in the drop down box. Any advice welcome please 🙏🏻 

I want to book a sleeper reservation for Paris-Tolouse on May 28 and potentially back Tolouse-Paris June 7. I don't see reservations open for this train on the interrail reservation service. There's only a suggestion for a bus on the 28th. The option to buy a full price ticket on the official SCNF website doesn't show up as well. Does it mean it's just booked up on these days already? 

Question #1 - The Eurail app shows different routes/times than the website where I can book.  Specifically I’m trying to get from Salzberg Austria to Prague.  App showed a more convenient route, however, website shows inconvenient routes.  Travel date would be May 27th. Question #2 - I’m tall and prefer an aisle seat.  However, I keep getting assigned a window seat.  Can I change my preference or how do I go about getting an aisle seat?  

I'm going to Zagreb from Milano tomorrow and now this "Error-message" occurred, when buying the seat reservation for the first part of the trip (Milano to Trieste).It initially said that I don't need a reservation, but I'm not too sure now.Would love your opinions!
