Train connections & reservations

My daughter and I are travelling on Eurostar but as we have separate passes we can’t choose seats together.  Is there a way we can change this after we’ve made our reservation?

 We are a family of six.  We currently have planned a trip for a 5-day pass to Italy for all six of us. It appears that the app will not allow me to link my travel plans to my account.  It almost seems as though I have two separate accounts and I can’t link the two accounts.  I want to reserve seats but the system won’t allow me. Please help link my passes to my travel plans so I can proceed to reserve seats.  

Hi guys, Soon me and my boyfriend are about to book our seat reservations. However today I already looked up a few trains that require a seat reservations, at least the app says so. But visiting the website and also finding the exact same train things changed. Now the website says there are no seat reservations required. What to believe now?Thank you for your help in advance Marie :)

Hi all, Today I was travelling with my Interrail Global Pass 1st class from Dusseldorf, Germany with Thalys to Paris. My plan was to take the connection to Marseille where I had booked a hotel. When the train manager was checking my ticket, he stucked at my reservation which I did for 1st class Premium via B-Europe. He advised that my reservation is only valid with special abonnement cards which you can buy in France but is NOT valid with Interrail. My reservation shows “Pass Premium” and that’s not valid.That’s the reason he has the right to refuse my ticket and let me pay for a complete new ticket. After talking to his co-worker it would be okay if I take a seat in 2nd class instead.I told him that I never had problems with any reservations in TGV, Eurostar and ICE. But anyway, I felt like I was travelling illegal and the staff was extremely unfriendly. All people were looking at me as I would travel illegally for real - very embarassing and shameful to be honest. I never travelled w

Hi,I'm currently planning my trip from London to Glasgow.  For this train, a reservation is required, but I can't use the reservation tool from Interrail for this reservation. I also tried to make a reservation with ACP rail, but this product is not available in the Netherlands. I searched for other options, but I could not find a website/app where you can only buy a reservation without a ticket (because I already have a Interrail ticket). Does anyone has experience with this?:)

I have to book 7 seats on a train from Bologna to Wien. The interrail website isn’t working and its suggestion is to book the seats directly from OBB’s website. If I book them on OBB’s website how can I connect that reservation to my interrail pass?Thank you.

I have to book our seats on the train from Bologna to Wien (15/07) but the system says: “Prices temporarily unavailable”.

Good evening, I am sorry to disturb, I can’t find a way to connect Paris to Salzburg with a night train (I want to start my trip in the end of june)I’ve seen that I need to book the Asutrian Website, “OBB”, but there is no one way trainI thought it was possible to do Paris - Vienna with a one way train (no need to change the train, and with bed and without stopover), but the better way I found was Paris - Linz/Donau Hbf, and then I needed to change my train to Salzburg (friday 24th of june).I’ve also seen that there are just 3 days of night train from France to Austria, I hope you can help me,Thank you very much !

What’s the best/cheapest way to get from Rome city centre to Rome Fiumicino airport. Something like a reliable company or train/bus. Would this have to be pre booked or book when I’m there? 

Is there a reliable/trustworthy taxi/bus company they do journeys from Berlin airport to the city centre/Hbf station? Are trains available for this instead? 

I’ve planned out my  route using the Rail planner app (Berlin-Brussels-Paris-Zurich-Vienna-Ljubljana-Venice-Rome) and selected the ‘no seat reservation’ options so no journey in my route needs a reservation. I know journeys may take a bit longer and I’ll be standing but is this okay to do? I don’t want to get to the train and need a reservation, although my route doesn’t need any. However if I did need to reserve could I do this when I needed to board? 

Hola, en mayo voy a Portugal de Interrail yo sola, estoy leyendo comentarios de que es muy difícil subirse a los trenes con el pass móvil, que ponen muchas pegas y que en las estaciones a veces no hay revisores. Tengo que reservar dos trenes de larga distancia y ya he visto que solo se puede hacer en taquilla. Se puede reservar en cualquier estación? Gracias

Hey there!I and my friends are planning a vacation in the south of france this summer. We want to use the 1-country-pass to get there and get back home (we live near the french border, so that’s fine). We want to know, if we can use the third travel day to explore the surrounding area. Is that possible? Because we would finish the trip right where we start it.For example:Could we travel from Cannes to Nizza and back to Cannes in one day with the ticket?  

Hi I wanted to ask if there's any way to travel from Spain to France, only using the global pass.Without paying reservation seat 

Bonjour, j'ai gagné un pass interrail et j'ai choisi le pass flex. J'ai voulu commencer à planifier mon voyage mais je rencontre un problème : quand je mets ma destination pour choisir un billet de train c'est marqué qu'il faut que je paye... Je ne comprends pas comment fonctionne l'application étant donné que je ne suis pas censé payé mes billets de train. 

Hello!Myself and three friends are planning on taking the train from Amsterdam to Bern, Switzerland this May. However, we are running into issues when trying to book the reservations. It appears that the Frankfurt connection is not allowed due to construction. Does anyone have any advice on how to get between these two destinations? I have read that some German trains do not require reservations. Any clarification would be helpful! Thank you! 

I have a couple of questions about the tickets (seat reservations) I received from Trenitalia booked via Interrail.The ticket says we reservated First Class tickets, but we reservated second class (our pass is for second class). Why? We are all 16/17 years old and is says we are adults. Is this correct?

A family of 3 traveling during the holidays in the month of December. Since we know this far in advance where we want to go, can we start making reservations? We don’t want to run on the trouble of loosing traveling days, we have limited time and big plans. We will star in madrid Spain, go to France (Normandy) Germany, Austria, Italy and head back to Madrid. Any suggestions? How is traveling during Christmas? Please help us make our trip easy. We are debating if we should rent a car, rather than buy the global rail pass. If you can assure us, we will buy the tickets 

I’m leaving for my first Interrail trip next week and I’m having a bit of a confusion. Can I add trips to my pass for the on-going travel day? Like if I’ve already travelled today but want to go somewhere else, can I add a new trip for today?

I am unable to make a reservation using the reservation features on Eurail.  All trains are booked.  However, when I go to the SNCF site, there are available trains.  Can I book directly with SNCF using my Eurail pass?  If so, how?  Customer service is all in French and was not helpful.

Hi! I’ve been trying now for days to book seat reservations for a departure through the interrail.eu site but I am not succeeding. I’ve managed for most legs of our trip but there is one connection which I can’t book (see picture). As it’s a cross-border-train between Germany and France I’ve been in touch with both DB and SNCF. SNCF could see that there were interrail tickets still available but they could not make a booking over the telephone with my Swedish credit card. DB said that it should be possible to book through them via phone, but they did not succeed with that particular departure (however, it would work if we chose a later or earlier version). Do you have any advice on how I could proceed? When searching I see that there is something weird with the 1131-departure for many dates…. What we need is 4 seat reservation Karlsruhe to Paris  Est 1131-1405, Saturday June 18th. Does anyone have any advise?

I am trying to make a reservation for a travel from London Euston to Manchester Piccadilly and can’t see how I do this without buying a ticket.  I cannot book it via Eurail site and if I go to National Rail or Trainline websites I can’t see how to just reserve a seat.Cana someone let me know how I do this.  Thank you.

Hi All, I have a quick question about the reservations: if I have a Eurail pass, can I purchase and use a seat reservation from the train company's website (ie Deutsche Bahn, Trenitalia, ÖBB, etc) and use that? Or do I have to purchase through Eurail/Interrail?Sorry if this was asked before and I missed it.  Thanks! -Best, MattPS. Also if you know of a discount code to share for my first Eurail pass it would be amazing! ​​​​

Hi!I would like to buy a global pass cause i will go to morrocco by france and spain.I have few questions:the pass cost 1594 for 5 people per 7 days, but the place reservations aren’t included right?How i can reserved the places? i see some people used global pass on official trains websites...is possibile? I see Balearia (ferry from spain to morocco)...is included in the global pass? how i can do the reservation? how i can see the exactly price for the place reservation? Thank you!  

To access a train which requires a reservation (and has gates to enter the platform), would you use your interrail pass with the journey loaded onto it to open the gates and then show the reservation on board, or would you use the printed out reservation that has a barcode on it? Thanks.
