Train connections & reservations

Hi - I’m looking at trains from Vienna Hbf to the airport for 2nd May and the OBB timetable is only showing a couple of options available in the morning. Most of them say ‘Ticket not available’ either with or without the Interrail pass filter on. Does this mean they are all fully booked already? I want to leave from Hbf as I’m staying near there. Thank you

Hi, We have a Global Eurail pass and will be traveling from Amsterdam to Bruges the day AFTER Kings Day. We expect a lot more “traffic” than usual on the trains that day. The website says “You’re ready to board” without a reservation, but a friend who recently returned from Europe said that they had a few occasions where were turned away on the day due to the train being full, despite the website saying no reservation was required.It is possible, or advised, that we pay for a reservation “just in case”? Or are we being silly?If reservations are recommended, how do I do this under the circumstances.Thank you soooo much in advance.Di Borg

Hi,I am looking to book reservations against my EURail Pass for Italian trains on OBB. I came across this ÖBB Reservierungsvorteil at 24.90 Euro which offers 50% discount on seat reservations.https://shop.oebbtickets.at/en/shop/folder/d550661042eb9db9f1603f495667d19eDoes it work? I am looking to buy substantial reservations for my family's train journey's between Rome, Florence, Venice and Milan totalling upto 228 Euro. Will this pass actually cut the reservation cost down to 50%? This is non-cancellable, so I am bit sceptical about buying.  

We have bought 4 interrail passes and would like to travel from Germany via France (Avignon) to Barcelona.For our train from Avignon to Barcelon (AVI INT 9730; 8:40 - 12:38) a seat reservation is required. But I cannot book this via Interrail. Also I have not found any other possibiliy to book this seat reservation. Can anybody help?

Dear all: please help!We bought Interrail Passes First Class, and booked amongst other the following trains:Wednesday 17 April:     07.03 - Basel SBB > Lugano (IC 663)Wednesday 17 April:     11.02 - Lugano > Milano Centrale (RE 25517)Wednesday 24 April:     17.20 - Milano Centrale > Brig (EC 36)Wednesday 24 April:     19.48 - Brig > Basel (IC 986)But we can not buy/book our seat reservations for these 4 tickets.We have tried everything, but it simply does not work. What to do?Or do we not need these reservations? Are these maybe not required?We only succeeded to book seat reservations for the train Milano > Roma and back.Thank you,Frits Strietman

hello,My understanding is 1st class eurail passes translate to standard premier on eurostar. 1st class was available for our trip and we paid the 1st class reservation rate on SNBC, but I see the tickets are in carriage 14 and that is a standard carriage. If anyone has insight on why that is, I would appreciate it. Thanks,Allie

I'd like to book TGV Lyria Paris to Geneva on May 24th, and Basel to Paris on June 2nd but tickets are not available yet. Does anyone know when sales will be open? 

I am trying to book a seat reservation for a train from Zagreb Glavni Kol to Ljubljana on May 16 from 19:40 to 21:47. When I go to the eurail website to book the seat reservation, it says N/A for price and underneath it says "facilities unavailable". I do not know if that means that the train is fully booked, or if it just means that I need to book the seat reservation at the train station in person. Any help is appreciated.

I bought a seniors Eurail pass and now realise I can’t use the pass to book the Eurostar to London from Paris as they don’t have a Seniors fare. What do I do? Do I get a refund on the pass and buy an Adult pass or somehow pay the difference in the fares on the Eurostar. I wish I had known I couldn’t travel in and out of London on the Seniors pass before I bought it!

HiI've used this site https://travel.b-europe.com/Eurail-GE/en/booking-tgv#TravelWish but I can't see TGV 5537 for May 13 2024 (14:05 Colmar to 17:56 Lyon on Rail Planner app. Therefore I cannot add this journey to my Trip in the app. On RailPlanner app I only see -  TGV 2239 running the same time and same route.On Rail Europe.com & Trainline.com, you see both TGV 5537 & TGV 2239 Does anyone know why this is happening? How can I rectify the situation?Thank you.

In March my family and I will be traveling from London (St. Pancras) to Berlin HBF via Brussels Zuid and Koeln.

Hi - another timetable query from me. I’ve been looking at the trains from Salzburg to Vienna on 29th April 2024 on the OBB websute and this message has come up.Construction work - Train cannot runLinz/Donau Hbf <=> Wels HbfDue to construction work some local-trains cannot operate between Linz/Donau Hbf and Wels Hbf/Attnang-Puchheim Bahnhof from 29/04/2024 through 29/06/2024.We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.There seem to be a mix of trains in the search results - Railjets (marked in red)  and some marked WB (in blue). The WB trains stop at Westbahnhof - are these the local trains referred to in the warning message? If so, does this mean the Railjets will run according to the timetable? Many thanks

I booked seats from London to Paris and paid for the seat reservation. I would like to change the time we leave.  Do I make this change on the app,or do I need to login to Eurail.com? Is this even possible to do with my Eurail Pass?

Hi, I never travelled with interrail. I live in Angers in France. I would like to visit Spain. I wonder if I can use the interrail pass to travel from Angers to Barcelone, means leaving Angers at around 6am to reach Barcelona at 9pm after 2 or 3 connections in France. Can you help me? Thanks

HiI think this is a simple query 😁about OBB NightJet timetable change.Night Jet ticket as shown below.There are four of us travelling, in 2 x “Sleeper cabin Comfort compartment … including WC”. For the last week or so, I received an email on a daily basis from OBB (with email address Noreply.Reiseinfo-tickets@oebb.at), saying the following. I rely on google translate more than my German (which is none), which tells me a change of schedule.   The link “Jetzt …” is to https://fahrplan.oebb.at/webapp/?SID=O%3DHamburg Hbf%40&ZID=O%3DMünchen Hbf%40&date=22.02.2024&time=20:10&timeSel=1&returnTimeSel=1&journeyProducts=7167&start=1&language=de That link does not help because the date and time are embedded, and the page shows time at and after the time 20:10.   If I click earlier time (I guess that’s what Fruher means), I get:   The above shows that the service that was at 20:10 no longer exists, in other words, NightJet 40491.If I switch the web site to English

Hello. I’m trying to finalise plans and am looking at getting the train from Lucerne to Salzburg on Friday 26th April. I was getting confused by the slightly different options for trains depending on which website I looked at but think that was due to them only presenting options with fast connections. After a lot of searching around I found filters to increase transfer time on Rail Europe and that seems to have brought up the options that I was missing compared with Trainline. The Nightjet part says reservations are recommended but I can’t see how to select this on the Rail Europe site, though I can do so on the Interrail site.I am wondering also if it would be best to put this as two separate journeys on to the app, ie Lucerne - Zurich and Zurich to Salzburg in case I want to change the train time for the first leg. Thank you

Hello everyone, I've been struggling a lot to find out how to book a train between France and Spain with my interrail pass and have discover that it's simply impossible from outside Spain. But I was wondering if it's possible (has anyone tried?) to give all the details to a friend in Spain and ask him to book at a station for me? Thanks !

Yup, the SJ Euronight that I’m taking will leave Malmö at 23:59 and I don’t have a travel day the day after. It will most likely be delayed about an hour, leaving during a non travel day for me, but that should still be fine right, since the scheduled departure was during a travel day?
