Train connections & reservations

Hello, as the booking for the high speed trains was hell, i am thinking of taking the regional trains back however i somehow cant find the connections. Isnt there a train through the Pyrenees which doesnt need reservation? Best Anne

Hi Interrailers! I have a question about two seat reservations between Lyon-Barcelona and Barcelona-Valencia  - I can see that other travellers had similar problems with seat reservations on these routes.I called RENFE (Spanish Train Operator) and they told me that it is not possible to make seat reservations for these trains online (wtf) and that you HAVE to reserve seats at a physical train station. That is problematic because I have a 6 hour train ride beforehand from Zürich to Lyon, and it would be stupid to show up in Lyon if the train is fully booked - and again stupid to show up in Barcelona later that day if that is fully booked(:      Do you know a way around to reserve online? Or do you know if I can reserve seats from an Austrian train station? Or if my friend in Spain can make the seat reservation for me and then send me the reservation with email?Stay safe! Allan

I want to book a paper ticket from Valence TGV to Barcelona on 21st of August. If I want to try it, I receive a notification that the ticket will not arrive in time and that I have to go to an European train station. I went to Amsterdam Centraal and they said at the international office that they do not sell tickets from France to Spain. I've added the notification in Dutch below. How can I still make the reservation for this trip? Interesting to note is that I ordered another paper ticket and I received this within a week. So if this is the average speed of the delivery of the paper tickets, my ticket would still be arriving in time before I will leave… However, the website does not allow me to take the risk and order the paper ticket anyway.  

Trying to find a way to book my seat on the highspeed train from Barcelona Sants to paris on Saturday 7th May but having no luck? says book at the station but we will not be there until the day of travel? Any guidance welcome! 

Hi! Me and some friends are planning a trip this summer and everything is going fine but one detail. We’re trying to book seat reservations for a train between Prague and Warsaw on June 19th but can’t because “prices unavailable”. Does anyone know why we can’t book it? Is it already fully booked? Do we have to wait til 30days before departure?Any help is greatly appreciated!Sincerely, Kalle

I booked a Global Interail pass for myself and another for my child to go from Paris to the south of Spain and return. I had done many simulations and saw that the return journey from the country of departure to the country of destination was included in the pass. But as soon as I want to book to go from Paris to Barcelona, I am asked to pay 34 euros per passenger ( or 68 euros extra. Please confirm if the first Paris-Barcelona ticket is included or not.

Hello everyone,I've bought an Interrail Global Pass for 3 July - 10 July. I want to travel from Amsterdam to Prague and later from Prague to Munich, and from Munich back to Amsterdam.However, there is one thing i don't understand. The website of the Deutsche Bahn says a reservation is required for every high speed rail as well as night trains. The travel plan of the Interrail website tells me i do not need to book a reservation, but that it is possible to do so.However, i cannot add any train journey to the cart. The ‘add to cart’ button is not clickable: Am i too late for booking? I have not received my pass yet, but i will get it within two weeks. Thank you in advance, Kind regards

We have bought an Interrail pass to move between Spain and Portugal this summer. We took the mobile pass option. We went to the train station to buy the seat reservation necessary for high speed train in Spain. They have advised in addition to the ticket, we must have the trip registered in the app. But some trains do not appear in the app… can we add them manually? Another option: can we get a paper pass if we already got the mobile pass? thank you! 

hallo, ik kan niet alles vinden via de rail planner app en voeg dan handmatig in. Moet je elke tussenstop (overstap) en exacte tijden in de app aangeven of gaat het alleen om de datum + begin- en eindstation?alvast dank,Anne

While booking train reservations for my Global Pass, the ‘continue to traveler details’ button does not work at all, even after I filled in all the information required. I think the button is broken. Can anyone help? This is a Milan Centrale - Venezia S. Lucia journey. 

Family of 6 traveling through France and Italy in July. We purchased Eurail Global Mobile Passes. We are unable to reserve seats without our Pass Cover Numbers. If anyone could be of assistance, as my emails have gone unanswered, we would greatly appreciate it! Thank you in advance.

Hi, My friend and I have booked some trains for our trip. When booking, for example, we clicked on one for 7am. I’ve just looked at the e-tickets and it says 6am.  I understand there are different time zones however, these countries are an hour ahead of the UK so why has it gone back an hour? Just very confused. Thank you

I bought an interrail pass.I downloaded the  interrail appI made an account for interrail.eu.I have a trip in My trip ( a trip in Norway)Then I go to the reservation system to make the reservation for this trip. And it is not possible, because it says: you have no trip.What is wrong?

Hello! I am having trouble booking the train from Vienna to Split (EN 1153), as it appears that it is not possible to make a reservation. “Prices temporarly unaviable”Is this because it is still too early to buy them? Or are they already sold out? Or do I have to buy them elsewhere?I would be very grateful for any comments that someone had on this route. 

My partner and I have had to cancel a Spanish Interrail trip and rebook other European destinations, due to the dishonesty of EU Rail. Booking seat reservations in Spain is ridiculously complicated (you either have to be in the country at a specific station, or try to navigate the phone system to order a paper ticket ).Also, we calculated that seat reservations for a first class pass are extremely expensive -almost equivalent to buying news passes each! And the fact that many RENFE staff apparently DON’T recognise the EUrail mobile pass is worrying.WHY are RENFE even still part of EU Rail, when you can’t book seat reservations by email and they are disinterested in EURail customers?What is the point in using a fist class EU rail pass, where seat reservations are an added, extra financial cost?We are extremely unhappy, as we were looking forward to visiting Spain, but the apathy of EURail and RENFE have crushed this dream.

Hi there,I have just purchased a One-Month global continuous pass. I am looking to do a ferry trip from Valencia - Ibiza however when I am on the Direct Ferry website, I am unable to locate anywhere to input my interrail pass of which the website states that it covers ferrys or at least discounts them. If you would be able to give me some feedback would be much appreciated as need to keep costs down.If anyone knows how to make these reservations with the pass?And roughly how much this would cost? Many Thanks

Hi! I recently purchased a Eurail pass and I was planning to make several overnight trips. However, I am quite confused wrt to making seat reservations on the OBB website. I have quite a bit of confusion regarding “one-way tickets” vs “seat only”. I have already purchased seat reservations for all legs of the journey for 3Euros each, apart from the Nightjet train(which I could not make a seat reservation) but I am unsure if I need a one-way ticket instead. Was wondering if anyone could provide advice regarding my trip? :) Amsterdam to Berlin Intercity 60403: Amsterdam to Duisburg Hbf Intercity express 949: Duisburg Hbf to Berlin Hbf Berlin to Vienna Intercity 95: Berlin to Wien  Vienna to Venice Option 1(which I may have booked wrongly) Railjet Xpress 764: Wien to Salzburg Nightjet 40463: Salzburg to Venice Option 2 Nightjet 40466: Wien to Venice  Thank you so much!!!

There is a journey I want to take that can’t be found in the Rail Planner app, so I need to add it manually. I am traveling with my family and adding all trips to all five of our passes. The manual trips either don’t appear at all or appear for a short time and then disappear. I’ve also had another journey that wasn’t added manually disappear from the passes of two of my daughters. It seems I am unable to add any journeys at all for the two of them for May 9. We have two month global passes and they have been activated but we haven’t taken our first travel day yet. We are using iOS version 23.1.0 on an iPhone. Thank you!

Hello,I am a travel agent and booking train travel on behalf of my clients, one of whom uses a wheelchair.  They both have Eurail passes, but they want seat reservations on all the trains so they don’t have to do anything themselves. The tickets that are eTickets are fine because I can see the reference number, which I use to go to the individual rail provider websites to change their seats to wheelchair seats. However, on the printed tickets, they will be receiving them, in a month!! I can’t wait that long to make the changes to their seats.  How do I figure out what their booking reference is on these tickets??

I am trying to book a reservation for a journey from Paris, France to Nice Ville, France, however, due to a technical glitch on the website it won't let me reserve a seat. The reservations are for sure available when I'm not logged into my account. I need a pass cover number but I have a mobile pass, can someone please help me get a pass cover number from my online pass?

Estoy intentando pagar la reserva de asientos con la línea ČD pero no me da la opción en la página, alguien sabe cómo se puede hacer on line? Cuento con un global pass de EurailMuchas gracias!

Hi there. My partner and I have bought a 4 days in 1 month interrail pass, as we're planning a trip to Brussels and Rotterdam. When I go on the Eurostar & Rail Europe websites and put in the details of our departure (London to Brussels, Friday 27th May) there are trains and seats available.When I try to book the same journey using our passes through the Interrail site, it shows a €0 fee, implying no seats available, and will not let me book. Why is this the case when there are seats available through? Is it an issue with your site?Please let me know asap, as if we can't travel on the 27th using Interrail we will need to cancel our passes, as it's not worth the money if we can't use it for London to Brussels. Thanks very much, Liam.

I need a seat reservation for a trip on the 22th of june from Prague Hlavni Nadrazi to Bratislava Hlavna Stanica. In the app off Rail planner it says there is a train from 9:12-13:54. When I try to make a seat reservation on the official website of the train (I got this link from your website) I can not find this specific train journey. But when I try to book a different one from their site they keep asking me for a In Karta, but I do not know what this is and neither do I think I have it. I am one of the few students who won a DiscoverEU pass so I only need a reservation and not a ticket. Could you help me explain what a In Karta is so I can make a reservation.  Greetings Maxine

I want to book a reservation from Paris- Barcelona and Barcelona - Marseille. Both can only be delivered by post. I‘m leaving tomorrow so i can’t use my own adress and wanted to use the one of my second hostel. I‘m staying there 06.05-10.05 and the reservations are for 13.05 and 17.05. i filled out the adress and everything but below there was a message that due to their calculations it won’t arrive on time. I don’t know how long the shipping takes but i‘m confused on how to book those reservations. Is my only option at a train station ? It’s still 14 days away so i don’t get why it won’t arrive in time ? Booking at a train station seems risky because what am i gonna do if the train is full for that specific day ?

HiI have an interrail ticket and I want to take a tgv train from paris to basel. I see that I have to get a seat reservation, which I know how to get.

If not, where can I get it and how much will this be?I really hope someone can help me with this!! :) as I am looking for this info already for hours.Best of wishes from SwitzerlandRahel
