Train connections & reservations

Hello, I am planning to do my 2nd Interrail trip during December for my birthday and I am looking for train connections from Salzburg to Chur on December 15th on Interrail app but it is not showing anything. Although, when I checked the OBB website, I get to see the train timetable.Do I need to wait a little longer for the update of new train timetable on the Interrail app or just do a manual train entry connection on the app for my trip planner? Thank you

Hello! First time poster here. My partner and I are planing a train adventure next May and I was wondering if people knew if the intercity notte 765 night train between Milan and Bari runs in May or is it seasonal? We are looking to connect with the ferry to Patras in Greece. Any advice booking tickets e.g. when they will be available, the best days to travel and alternate routes is always welcome!  Thanks! Doug

Hello,My partner and I have planned our trip via interrail for next week and we have therefore been able to make our reservations for our journeys which include trains with seats and others without.We received the tickets for the trains with seats. However, we expected to receive a ticket for the trains without, which we did not. Is this normal, please, or have we missed something?For example, we have a planned journey from Paris to Amsterdam with a stopover in Brussels, for which we received a Paris - Brussels ticket, but not a Brussels - Amsterdam ticket. Thank you in advance and have a nice day. PS : Sorry for my english

hi how can i confirm my seat on the interrail with my train ticket 

Hello everyone,I've been having the following problem all day: When I want to make a seat reservation for Spain, I get an error message shortly before completing the booking, even though seats are available. It reads: “Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again later or find another connection. This connection will be removed from your cart”If I want to make a reservation for France, for example, I do not receive this error message. I have already tried different browsers, deleting cookies etc.Can someone check if the same problem is occurring so that I know if the problem is mine or if there is a general technical problem?Many thanks and best regardsMarcel

A few days ago, I purchased the '̈bb Vorteilscard Jugend' effective from January 2025. I'd like to make a reservation for flight NJ 457, departing from Berlin Hbf at 19:21 on January 22 and arriving at Wien Hbf at 7 a.m., but it says 'Ticket not available'. s this train not discounted? I'd like to know why I can't make a reservation. 

I am trying to reserve a seat for a train from Amsterdam to Brugge on Christmas day but the timetable says on trains available. I have a Global Pass. Do trains run on Christmas day between Amsterdam and Brugge?ThanksPeter

HelloHave been able to book Eurostar from London to Bruxelles on 12 April 2025 but Bruxelles-Midi to Amsterdam Centraal is showing nothing for this date.Does that mean the all passholder fares are already sold for that date?Friday 11th or Monday 14th April 2025 are showing as being available.If I can’t book Eurostar & Eurail has nothing for the 12th April (“Sorry, we don’t have train times for those dates yet -”) & Rail Europe is saying “ Unfortunately we can't currently sell tickets for this journey, but the timetable below should give you an idea of trains that are running.” … but they can sell tickets for a week earlier & a week later I’m at a loss as to what I can do (changing dates is NOT an option)Advice on options/alternatives would be greatly appreciated

Dear Eurail Community,We are two adults and two kids planning our trip from Switzerland to Italy. We intend to use trains with the Eurail 7-day 1st class pass that we purchased during the last sale. One option we are considering is taking the sleeper train from Milan to Naples and booking one compartment. I checked the rail planner for our intended travel day, November 11th, and saw that the compartment costs €43, which I assume is for one person. However, when I attempted to make a reservation, I on’t see any option to reserve seets in compartment or may the code CC-PROMISCUO is for compartment? Cost view it seems to be alighned with rail planner results. 

Travelling from St Moritz to Milan on 21 Dec 2024 but schedule seems to be up to 14 Dec only. When does it update?

Hey all,I'm trying to book 3 tickets for me and 2 friends for the Nightjet sleeper Amsterdam-Innsbruck for March 8th (arriving March 9th) in 2025.Some weeks ago, all trains after 15 dec ‘24 became available for booking, except the NightJet leaving on the 7th and 8th. Weirdly enough, the last portion of the train ride (from Munich onwards) is bookable. But that’s useless… Does any of you know what is going on or when they might become available for booking?

Hello. I need your help to understand a situation, as I cannot contact the OBB support line.I bought tickets for December 5th for the train RJX267 Vienna-Budapest, which had a departure time of 7.40am. However, I noticed that the time had changed to departure at 6.40am.I already realized that the tickets remain valid for this train, or I can change them for free to the EC463 train.How can I make this exchange?Is it possible online or does it have to be through the OBB helpline?Thanks

Hi,I already read how it should work normally. But when I go to sj.se and enter the interrail numbers for our two adults (for the two kids it is not possible to enter), I get strange prices like “family offer” or super expensive first class reservations. And they change the longer the route is I want to book.Any idea how I could solve this? Would it be possible to enter the train without reservation and ask the conductor? One example: When I want to go this sunday von Karlstad to Trelleborg it could cost1096 sek on 8:23 (family offer)5010 sek on 8.23 (first class)5010 sek on 10:15664 sek on 12:23...

I thought from the main Reservations thread that one could use ‘ Interrail.eu/Eurail.com reservation service (+ 2 EUR/train booking fee - reservation included)’ for Italy-Austria-Germany. This is for 2 November.But I cannot get there - when I log into interrail.eu, it says:You need a supplement to board this trainThe train is included in your Pass but also requires a supplement. You can buy it online, at the station, or on board the train.’ and sends me here:https://www.interrail.eu/en/plan-your-trip/reservations/trains-with-additional-supplementsIt also says re reservations: ‘ No price results were found. Pass holder reservations may be sold out for this connection, but there are other ways to check for available seats—more info below our timetable. ’I’ve also tried unsuccessfully to get one via DB online (as I’ve already got an account with them); I can only manage to get to booking a reservation but cannot find a way to buy the supplement there. I also could not find any way to get

Hi All,  I am planning on travelling from CDG airport through to Brussels on the 17 December, I can book the seat reservation through Rail Europe but cannot book the train ticket through Rail Planner yet as it is not updated. Should I book the seat reservation now and just wait for Rail Planner to be updated and book the ticket when available.  If I book the seat reservation, is there any chance that I would not be able to use the Eurail pass on that train? Thanks for your help.

Hey ! I plan to travel with Interrail in november and I would like to end my trip with Tallin (I would come from Stockholm) and Krakow before my return to Paris. I am totally flex about Krakow, I can change for Warsaw or even Vilnius if I can come back to Paris after. But I don’t find any connexions between those cities.I know that there was no train but I read there is now one (here : https://www.lefigaro.fr/voyages/relier-la-france-aux-pays-baltes-en-train-c-est-desormais-possible-grace-a-cette-nouvelle-ligne-20231221) so my question is : is there really a train Tallinn-Krakow (or Tallinn-Warsaw or Tallin-Vilnius) ? Or can’t I find it because of the weather ? If it is the case, do you think it would be repared before my trip ?Thank you in advance, Marie

Hello! We are travelling with our 2nd class eurail pass, 2 of us, in the coming weeks.We have a few trains with “seat reservations optional” mainly in Switzerland, and we are just wondering what the thoughts of the community are, as to whether we need to purchase these? Is it common on these routes?We don’t mind having to move seats for others or sit apart if we have to, but would ideally like to avoid the ground or standing… haha. Since it’s not high season, I wonder if we’ll be ok?  JOURNEYS• IC680 Lugano to Luzern 24/10. • PE2926 Luzern to Interlaken 25/10.• IC817 Interlaken to Zurich 27/10.• EC191 Zurich to Munich 28/10.• ICE1110 Munich to Berlin 30/10.• IC146 Berlin to Amsterdam 1/11. We are leaning towards YES for the bottom 3 and no to the others based on journey length but open to advice. Also, which websites are the most cost effective for these reservations? 

Hi Community!does anyone know when the reservation for ÖBB opens for dates after the change of schedule (after dec 14th)? Thanks! Johanna

I am looking to travel on AVE from Zaragoza to Madrid. I hold a Interrail Global Pass in first class and would like to travel in first class with lounge access and meal service, the so-called Confort Prémium. This special seat reservation should cost around 23€ as opposed to the 10€ for “basic” first class where the only advantage is a wider seat. My sources are Seat61 and this brochure.However, I am having a hard time booking this:I won’t arrive in Spain till the very day I’m travelling, and since it’s a Sunday evening, I fear my train may be sold out by then, so buying it at a Renfe ticket office is hardly an option.   The employee at the Renfe call centre eagerly promoted the pre-booking option where you can call and book a seat, then pick it up at a Renfe ticket office within 72 hours. There is a “24 hour before departure” limit - on the internet it seems pre-bookings cannot be initiated after this time, but she gave me the impression that pre-bookings cannot be picked up after thi

Hi all First time interrailing here so it is possible I am being stupid but when trying to book our first sleeper train from copenhagen airport to berlin hbf I cannot for the life of me find out where to book a reservation and all I see is this [pictured]. I understand sometimes you need to book this reservation with third parties but none of the suggested ones seem to even have this train listed? Does this simply mean that this train is already fully booked or am I making a mistake? Many thanks 

Hello,I would like to share my experience with Renfe trains in Spain on the Cádiz - Seville Santa Justa route on October 4, 2024, which my wife, our one-year-old child, and I encountered during our recent holiday. Renfe train departed on time at 7:35 from Cádiz and was supposed to arrive in Seville at 9:08. Due to a train breakdown, we arrived in Seville at around 12:00 by a replacement bus. Of course, such incidents can happen, but unfortunately, this was not just an ordinary trip but part of our journey home, as our flight to Krakow was scheduled to depart from Seville airport at 11:35. Unfortunately, the plane did not wait for us, so we had to arrange accommodation and an alternative flight back to Poland. We incurred unexpected costs for a hotel in Seville, transportation to the hotel, and, of course, another flight home. It’s also worth noting that there was no flight to Krakow, where our car was parked, so we had to travel an additional 500 kilometers from another airport in Pola

Hello.  We will be first timers using the OBB system.  We purchased tickets for 6 December departing at 7:40 AM from Vienna to Budapest.  The tickets are Sparschiene tickets and are for train number RJX267.  We received notice (below) that there was a change in the timetable and that our ticket is valid, but that we need to check for alternative trains/services.  I checked the alternative services, and it looks like all that changed is that the RJX267 train leaves at 6:40 on 6 December rather than 7:40. Is my understanding correct?  Are we just to arrive earlier at the station and take the RJX267 train which now leaves at 6:40?  Also, we purchased seat reservations when we bought our tickets.  Do those seat reservations remain the same since the train number is the same? Thanks in advance for your help!

I have read in several places that making domestic AVE reservations should now be possible using Eurail online reservations? Is this the case?I have tried several trains (about two weeks in advance) including Barcelona-Madrid, and Madrid-Seville, but nothing shows available.  

trying to book on GWR-website a seat only reservation (I have a valid global interrail pass) for the night sleeper between London Paddington and Penzance on 7 or 8th October. I made an GWR account but still I do not find the path to book such a reservation. Although I did a lot of seat reservations for Sweden, Danmark, Germany, Austria, Switserland and Italy, I do not find another UK-solution than buying a normal ticket but that is against interrail philosophy and that’s the reason why I’am truying to avoid that. Is here somebody who succeeded in making RECENTLY a ONLINE reservation for that night sleeper on the GWR site of on something else?
