Train connections & reservations

Hello guys,  I recently booked the Global Pass to travel from Berlin to Barcelona  but I have problems with reservations. On to the website it didn´t appear any train connection, which is not true because the Rail Planner shows many connections. After many attempts on the webseite it suddenly appears: SEAT RESERVATIONS UNAVAILABLE“You need to buy a seat reservation to board this train, but it seems this seat reservations isn't available on our website. Check 'More information' for other ways to book this seat reservation, or buy a separate ticket to board this train.PRICES TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE. There is no result from the bookingsystem. Check back in a few hours to see prices and book this seat reservation.” “More information” doesn´t help either. Does it mean that the train is overbooked? Can someone help me? Thanks in advance :)

I am trying to make a reservation on the Mainz to Vienna 00:41 night train.  It says 1st Class N/A.  Does that mean they are all sold out?  If so, can I make a reservation on the 2nd Class seats?  If they both say N/A does that mean we can’t take the train?Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone, I am trying to book a train reservation for Krakow to Berlin and it is saying it needs to be reserved but it shows the price of 0 eur and will not allow me to reserve anything. I am wondering the same if anyone has ever gone from Bratislava to Krakow as I am having a hard time finding a train for this. It says I need to transfer in Breclav, CZE but it wants to send me the pass via post but the delivery date is 2 weeks after I leave for my trip.  TIA, Alex

Hiya - a friend and I wanted to book a train from Seville to Barcelona in July but it seems that it’s only possible to book spanish trains in Spain itself? Is there a way around this? If we are travelling in July it is very unlikely that reservations will still be available for that train once we’re there and i’m anxious we won’t actually get a way out of Spain to continue our journey! Any help would be amazing :) 

Hello, I want to know what kind of fare/booking condition apply to seat reservations made to FRECCIAROSSA Italian trains ? Is is possible to make changes in those reservations ? hours / days ? Thank you,Regards  

Everything about the Interail pass has been smooth except my ability to book a Eurostar seat from London to Brussels when having selected a mobile pass.The only way I could possibly see to book a seat was to say I had a paper ticket and as a result I have made a booking BUT the money has not been taken from my account although I do have access to two PDFS showing the “booking” although I have NOT had confirmation by e mail of my reservations ?The ability to contact anyone to ask appears impossible so at the moment I am due to travel on the 19th April and I have no idea if i have a booking or not ?Do I need to change my mobile pass for a paper pass in order to board the train ?? Again no help anywhere?When does my money go through and I have a confirmation?Would I be refused at the gate with a seat reservation and only a mobile pass?Hope someone can help me as its extremely frustrating.

Hi there,I’m making my outbound journey on Eurostar (London Kings Cross to Bruxelles Midi). I’ve got the journey in my pass on the app and I’ve made the reservation and have the pdf for my eurostar reservation.However, the ‘ticket’ for the journey in the app is still showing as ‘seat reservations required’. I made the reservations over 12 hours ago so I was expecting to see in it the app by now. Is something missing? Or am I alright as long as I have the reservation pdf?Thanks,Caroline

When trying to book a sleeper train from Bucharest to Budapest everything works until you get through to the point of “review your order” before paying and then the error message in the screenshot comes up. What do I do? I have tried this with multiple different journeys and on various days. Would greatly appreciate the help! Thank you. 

In rail planner I put in want to go from Amsterdam to Zurich on April 23rd after 12 noon.It gave me the trains and I selected one. I went to reserve seats now it says the following. Why would it give me the trains if one not available? How do I know what trains are alternatives?Is there a way to have the planner give me trains that are available?Very frustrating trying to use this planner and app as well.ThanksFrank   

On July 21, my family and I will travel from Riomaggiore to Levanto, then on to Milan.Based on the current schedule, and what I see in Eurail.com, I’m fairly confident that we’ll be able to catch one of the frequent ‘Terre Express’ trains that go between La Spezia and Levanto.Does anyone know when the ‘Terre Express’ schedule will be extended beyond June 11, to include July 21?The impression I get from Eurail.com, and some posts in the Community is that it’s not possible to  reserve Terre Express seats online.  Is that true?As I understand it, our Eurail passes will allow us to board free of charge.  But will we have to first show our passes at the station ticket window?

I plan to travel from Porto to Vigo, from Vigo to Barcelona en from Barcelona to Paris in three days. Therefore I have to buy the Seat reservation at the same days as I travel. In Vigo my train leaves at 07:42, is the desk allready open at that time? As I arrive in Vigo at 22:34 the day before I am afraid time is too short to get my Seat reservation.

I am trying to plan my upcoming trip, but cannot seem to figure out how to book reservations from Zermatt to Milan. I am looking into journeys that require minimum transfers, and they all seem to require a Eurocity train. On the railplanner app, it says to make reservations for the EC trains through various websites, however all of those websites say that seat only tickets are not possible to book. Everyone website just says “reservations impossible” Can someone please help with this?

I reserved two tickets from Amsterdam to London but the confirmation email I received had to tickets attached to it.  Even when I checked my reservations page in my eurail account they were not there to be downloaded.  My trip is coming up very soon and customer service said they would reply within a week but I’m not sure they’ll be quick enough.  Is there any way to contact them that guarantees a quicker response?

I paid for seat reservations, and got the confirmation email that said tickets were attached.  However they were NOT!  The reservation is visible on the Eurail website, but it does not show “Booked” as the another reservation does.  And, there is nowhere to click to see what happened to that reservation.  I’ve tried to contact customer service for other questions and never get a response.  I need help.  Is there anywhere else to go to get this resolved, so I can continue to book our additional reservations.  I don’t trust the system to start making more reservations if it’s broken somehow.  I paid for the tickets, and I’d like to get them.  A confirmation isn’t enough!  Is there any way to fix this without waiting weeks for customer service to respond?

May I have your help with a problem? I am unable to purchase seat reservations on https://www.oebb.at/en/ because the Eurail Pass is not listed among the accepted options, and for other reasons, described below.July 6 10:50 AMRailjet #1312nd ClassVillach Hbf to Venizia Saint LuciaIn his article 'Community > Get ready to travel > Train connections & reservations > How to get Reservations :)', seewulf describes how to book a seat reservation for a night train on that site. But a night train is not what I want, and I'm unable to reproduce the result that he shows - "Ad the end of the list of discountcards you should find Interrail/Eurail. Just click on it and after that "Confirm" under the list and finally Confirm at the top right corner". I'm unable to reach the point where I can select a Seat Reservation.For all trains between those points, the site states 'Ticket Not Available'. For some scheduled trains, there's a link that states "Due to construction work in Italy, this

I am trying to book a seat reservation for Brussels to London.  The screen comes up that there is a change of train, but there is not.  It shows Bruxelles-Midi (Belgium), the the same words again with 35 minutes between them.  Can someone explain why?  I just want the one train from the second Bruxelles-Midi listing.  I can’t figure out what the additional 35 minutes is for and why it shows up.  I’m afraid to book this train without knowing the meaning of it.

So, I make my Reservations that will be on 3 Trains. I then get a text that the first train will arrive 45 minutes later than scheduled, sorry for the inconvenience, etc. I need to make reservations on an earlier train. However when I go to cancel my tickets I am told that they will give me back 68 cents U.S. on a ticket that cost 30.51 plus booking fee??? I cannot find a way to just exchange them. Now the tickets have gone up to 64 U.S. and I can’t get an answer from Eurail. Had this same problem in 2019.
